"Yes, I suppose I can allow you that much." It's interesting, really, how little experience Tachihara has. Jouno felt protective of him, responsible for him. "I'll let you decide who so we don't wind up eating one of your little friends." Jouno always refers to them in a derogatory manner; it's clear that he doesn't think of any of the humans as Tachihara's true friends, no matter how much time Tachihara winds up spending with them.

Their food is brought to them and Jouno digs in, giving a small, delighted gasp after taking his first bite. Tachihara had done well, it seems. "What is this?" he asks. "We should take some to Tetchou-san." For as much as Jouno insisted he hate Tetchou, it was never long before he'd brought the other up in some way or another.
