[Sandalphon does his best to keep from laughing, but a quiet chuckle does escape him as he watches Izumi eat with such fervor. He knows he shouldn't, since Izumi is only eating like this because he wasn't given enough food for the day, but it's such a stark contrast to his ice prince exterior that it's funny and endearing.]
I'm glad you like it. It isn't too expensive, so I'll buy more from now on.
[He'll have to learn how to cook it, too, but that shouldn't be too hard.]
...I'll make sure you have more food, too, going forward. We get busier in the evenings as it gets colder...I might have to stay late more often.
[Which he feels just horrible about. Just one hour was enough to knock Izumi so far out of orbit that he's shoveling food in his mouth like a kid and needy enough to tackle him to the couch (he thinks).]
I wish I didn't have to, but...
[He gives Izumi a sad, fond sort of smile.]
...Well, I'll never be able to afford to open my own shop if I don't put the hard work in now. Someday I'll be able to buy you all the shrimp you want.
