The lanky guy who'd just sat down at his booth stared at Yuusuke with mismatched eyes that Yuusuke somehow didn't think were contacts. He stared at Yuusuke as if he was at the end of his rope and being asked to order ramen was beyond his limits.

"What would you like?" Yuusuke pressed his luck anyway.

The man continued staring for a moment longer, then suddenly relaxed, his head dropping to the counter. "Just... kill me now," he invited, his voice mumbled from within the circle of his arms. "I'm not going to die in humiliation. I know that I haven't got enough power left tonight to fight you."

Yuusuke exchanged a look with Kurama, who was sitting at the far end of the stall eating his usual order.

"How about you just order some ramen instead?" Yuusuke suggested, turning back to the guy. "It'd probably be easier for both of us." //And you look like you need it,// he added to himself.
