"You didn't miss breakfast this time, right?"
"Thankfully not."
"Good! I, on the other hand, did. Slept in, but I did everything Sonic speed."
"Anyways! Your order, ma'am?"
"One Salmon Roll, please."
"Same price, same guy."
"Oh, right. Before I forget again... your friend... I noticed she hasn't been talking recently. I didn't do anything, did I?"
"I know I can talk waaay too much at times."
"Oh, no, of course not. She wanted to be by my side when I ordered food for the first few days."
"Why is that?"
"Uh... I get anxious doing things like this. Usually, I'm able to place food orders by phone without any anxiousness, but since I haven't done it in a long time, she wanted to offer some support."
"It sounds pretty stupid, I know."
"I don't think it's stupid. It's awesome, actually! I love to see friends being there for each other. If there's anything I can do to help lessen that anxiety for you, tell me."
"Perhaps I should start off with talking less, huh?"
"No!"
"I... I mean... I don't mind you talking a lot. Really, it's fine. If anything..."
"..."
"I... uh... like it..."
"N-Not to sound weird."
"If it makes you happy, then I'll continue to talk a lot, okay?"
"..."
"You can't take it back now!"
