[ food is an easier topic to focus on than himself, and ryuu is all too happy to accept the shift in conversation. ]

[ lucky he's never been a shy person about sharing a meal with someone, so without further prompting, he reaches over to get started in portioning out some of the stir fry. truly, he wants to eat everything at once, but he practices restraint in going for a healthy bite of his favorite first, a smile appearing before he's even had the chance to get it all the way down. don't speak with your mouth full, ryuu... ]

Different? How?
[ maybe if he could tweak the recipe so that it suits that okinawan palate, it'll be much better, right? also, has he mentioned how endearing this man is when he's eating with his mouth open, completely shedding the cool and wild idol persona he usually puts on before the camera. ]

[ sifting through his stir fry, he fishes out a piece of bitter melon with his chopsticks.
if you thought you were escaping, you were dead wrong. ]
Here, try it! Maybe it's this? It seems like the hardest to replicate, doesn't it!
