You order a big basket of chicken tenders and a milkshake for two. Eilie seems excited by the prospect.
"Ok, and what're you gonna be having?" she asks.
You explain that you figured you both could share. Maybe you could both share a big ice cream too?
She is very clearly not impressed.
>Eilie's opinion of you has worsened.
"Dude I don't know you like that. Plus half an order of chicken tenders is not enough food."
You stammer and say you meant a big basked that you could both eat out of, like a double order.
"It's fine, sempai," she says as you order yourself a shake too. "I'm guessing you don't get out much. Here's a tip: save the shared milkshake for when you're close with somebody."
You tell her you like her hair.
"Thanks."
You explain that honestly you were just joking with the 'Senpai' thing but at this point she very clearly doesn't believe you.
"It's fine, dude. I get it. For the record, I think you're pretty smart when it comes to tactics and stuff." She seems to not realize that she still looks vaguely disgusted as the waitress brings several orders of chicken tenders. Eilie asks for two plates and piles a bunch on there, grabbing one in her fist like a little kid with a crayon and dipping it in the sauce before going to town on it.
Trying to dispel the awkwardness, you ask her why she likes close up combat, and if there's anything she's bad at in the field.
She eliminates tender after tender as she answers, somehow not getting any sauce on her clothes.
"I just don't really get rattled," she says. "I don't mind makin' sure folks are dead by shootin' them right in the face. I guess I'm not great with sittin' back and plinkin' at people."
She seems to appreciate the question.
You say she's got such big fluffy ears, she must hear a lot of gossip.
"Not too much gossip so far," she says. "I can let you know if I hear somethin' though."
You tell her that you really aren't great with people and don't have any romantic experience, and you just wanted to get to know her a little better. You tell her you like her eyes, and ask her if she has any hobbies.
"I like terrariums and stuff. I'm gonna put one in my room and get some snails. Other'n that I like dancin' and boxin, an' I like dressin' up too, like different kindsa clothes and dresses and shit. I don't mind shoppin and stuff. Thanks for askin'! What about you?"
You tell her that you're pretty good at chess, although you never really had time to get seriously competitive or anything. She nods, her mouth full of tenders.
You ask her what it was like growing up here, and if she knows much about specifically how C.Orgs are made. You ask her what her future plans are, like, if she sees herself not being a field agent in the future.
She considers the question.
"We come out of big tubes that we grow in, and learn a lot while we're in those, then we sort of get acclimated and stuff for a while, and learn how to use the equipment and stuff. It ain't bad or anything. We're more or less 'born' knowin' how to talk and stuff like that. You'd prolly have to ask Mary for specifics and junk."
She inhales a portion of shake and several more tenders.
"I figure you're pretty smart. If I can rank up enough I get get a training position or somethin. I hadn't really thought about it too much. I trust you to do right by us."
You chitchat while you eat. The shake and tenders are both pretty great, and you think you have an OK time.
After you're done eating, she says "Well, uh, thanks for takin' me to lunch. I liked the food and stuff, and you seem like a pretty OK guy. I'll see you around, yeah?"
It looks like Eilie doesn't really want to continue the date.
All in all, she trusts you more and is confident in your skills as a commander, but thinks you were trying to hit on her too much. She absolutely does not believe that 'Senpai' was a joke.
Eilie gets a big morale bonus! She'll be very resistant to panic and fear on the next mission you take her on!
