[ooc: Cinan is an OC; he's in his mid-20s, a technopath from a sci-fi space adventure story, and is generally a pretty chill person.]
[You'd think, after two or three hours wandering the bazaar and eating whatever looks appealing, that he'd be full. But he isn't. Cinan is way too engrossed in the stories about the food and its origins, where it comes from, about the family members who made it, to pay attention to how much he's eaten. The place is both really familiar and really unfamiliar, everyone sharing everything but with all these overtones of missing home and family.
He's just moving on to the table with the dumplings, about to ask what they're like when the girl beside him erupts in cries about how hot it is. Blinking, he almost immediately digs into his messenger bag and produces a bottle full of liquid separated into two layers, one pink and clear, the other milky and translucent that tastes light and fruity. Giving the bottle a few vigorous shakes, he hands it over to her.]
Here, drink this. It's from my home, it'll take the edge off the heat right away.
[Plucking up one of the dumplings, he pops it in his own mouth, grinning as he chews.]
iiib. and I don't mind spoilers. :)
