[Of course Shuichi finds information like that interesting, that's just the kind of person he is. So he listens to everything Kokichi has to share without interruption, becoming less tense the longer the conversation goes on.]

[Odd though, that Kokichi would pick a place like this...as far as he's aware, the leader is perhaps one of the very last people to pick a place with a mostly vegetarian menu. Mostly because he seems to very strongly dislike them and would exist solely upon junk food if left to his own devices. Which can only mean that he picked it because he somehow figured out that that's the kind of food Shuichi prefers. Because he's fairly certain he never actually told the other boy what kind of foods he likes. And that's...really very touching, honestly. Not wanting to put too much of a dent in Kokichi's wallet (since he presumably refuses to let Shuichi pay for his own meal when the detective suggests it), he orders a salad and skips on dessert, simply enjoying a fresh cup of hot tea while Kokichi indulges his sweet teeth.]

Mmm...I don't know if I hope we stay grounded but...I guess I wouldn't mind it too much. I haven't...really spent any time in the town before now but...it seems like a nice place.
