"I have noticed that," Irene replied with an appreciative smile, scooting just a skosh closer. "I think I get the appeal a bit more now. All the convenience and deliciousness with none of the fuss. Perfect for a walk, or if you needed to write a text, or...forge something."

Even if she was already being a little fussy with trying to eat her meat-on-stick situation. Probably a lost cause.

"Having a nice trip? I feel like I've hardly seen you, speaking of multitasking." Just casually noting. No pressure. Irene was clearly too busy trying to be dainty about stick-food to be very interrogative about it, you see.
