Tsubasa took the bread... and stared at it, eventually putting it down again and taking the now-vacated seat, only to continue staring at the bread with apprehension. What was it? She'd never seen the like back home, and it was... odd. Kind of like wood, she thought. Had he given her a stick to carve into some sort of fishing rod? But it was too short for that...

She did, at least, give the merchant an answer, even though a plaintive-sounding 'hungry' wasn't all that descriptive. Like Mizuko, she was speaking in her native language--and, at that, extremely politely despite the short statement.
