After several minutes of awkward silence, they finally start eating dinner. The dolls prepared some kind of garlic and herb pasta with a few slices of meat on the side. The meal reminds Anon of an Italian restaurant, but his mind draws a blank beyond that.
Alice arrives to join them. Anon gives her a compliment about the food, but she doesn't seem to hear it. She mechanically shovels the food into her mouth in silence.
Marisa breaks the tension by discussing magic. It takes a few minutes, but eventually Alice stops hiding her enthusiasm for the subject. She readily explains the details of the experimental spell that she was testing earlier. Anon smiles as he sees them recover quickly, but stays out of the discussion for the most part. He doesn't know enough about magic to contribute to complex discussions yet.
Anon focuses on his own thoughts as he tunes out their discussion. He thinks about how he arrived in Gensokyo, and how he has no memories of his past. He still doesn't know his own name. Somehow, he bumped into two friendly magicians and managed to avoid getting devoured by wild youkai (or worse). But what is he supposed to do next?
"So, what are ya gonna do next, ~ze?"
"Do you have any plans for tomorrow?"
Anon blinks. They seem to be talking to him. He gives Alice a puzzled look. Alice sighs before giving him a polite smile.
"You are staying here for the night. I'm not so cruel as to send a human out into the night."
"Awww! I thought I was taking him home ~ze!"
"Night flying is dangerous, especially when it's with you! He can get injured badly if he falls."
Marisa simply pouts as she turns to Anon. Alice looks at Anon, as well. They both seem to be waiting for an answer.
Anon thinks about where to stay.
