[Hijikata must be catching on that Crow is probably the ringleader when it comes to his band's outings.]
Well, everyone loves tempura!
[ Once the server comes over, Crow orders another bottle of sake to share and an assortment of tempura to compliment it. Unfortunately, the bottle arrives before the food and Crow takes the liberty of refilling Hijikata's cup first.]
Yeah, it's a cafe during the day. I've been there a few times, it's actually a nice space to pass the time and write lyrics.
[ Though, he'll be glad if Hijikata did come to one of his shows. He could even bring Chester, too. There's something different about a live performance versus listening to a CD. Crow sips his drink already feeling the buzz, but the tempura arrives on cue, sizzling and piping hot. The server puts down a few condiments to eat with it, like tempura sauce, pickled ginger, and even ketchup. Though despite his choices, he decides to experiment.]
[Hijikata isn't fussing since they're in the middle of Camelot City, not in the Ash Mountains or Dusklight Woods, so even if they end up smashed drunk they won't run much risk of meeting a terrible fate! He lets out a pleased little hum as the tempura is set down; it looks and smells mouth-watering, and the new sake tastes good too.]
You want mayonnaise? Be my guest!
[He passes the bottle over after drowning his share of the food in the condiment, curious how Crow will like it.]
Take as much as you want, don't be shy! I brought a second bottle just in case.
[ Even though Crow is a little buzzed, the fact that Hijikata brought a second bottle of mayo just makes his eyebrows furrow. This guy really has a mayo addiction! Unlike, the samurai who smothers his food in mayo, Crow is a little more practical, scooping out a glob and using it as a dipping sauce. He tests it out with a piece of shrimp tempura. He takes a bite with a plentiful dollop and takes a moment to savor on it. Finally, he reveals his verdict.]
It's actually not bad!
[Now, will he become a fanatic like Hijikata, hell no, but it does change his idea of mayonnaise. Crow continues to eat dipping into the mayo every now and then.]
[He brought two bottles in case he runs out, of course. It's a real risk during an extensive meal! He attentively observes Crow and smiles when he expresses his liking of it, but then gets mildly confused at his next question.]
Addiction? I just like it. It's tasty, isn't it?
[He likewise picks up a big mayonnaise-dripping shrimp and eats it... oh, this combined with the sake reminds this of home altogether now. If he closes his eyes it's almost like he's back in Edo for a moment.]
[ That's valid, but still Hijikata uses a lot. He assumed there was some traumatic experience behind all of that. Maybe he didn't have enough to eat as a child or mayonnaise brought him comfort during hardships.
He and his bandmates could eat an excessive amount of toppings too, but they at least changed it up sometimes.]
No, it's actually pretty good! I always thought mayo was so bland, but it compliments fried food so well!
[Crow is still going to make use of the other toppings as well splashing a bit of the tempura sauce and pickled ginger on the next bite! This is heaven!]

So when did your addiction to mayo start?
