[Dave's always tried to maintain a certain brand of coolkid personality for a multitude of different reasons, but lately in particular, he's been getting a whole lot worse at hiding how actually uncool he is. Akira is in good and extremely uncool company.]

[which is why he stands there for a brief pause, thinking that over.]

You're saying I'll have to pull a Scooby Doo bait-the-monster scenario here. No — wait, if I'm gonna go along with that, I want to be Shaggy.

[Dave, literally nobody suggested this role-playing scenario except for you?? he seems amenable to the idea, though, and takes the food.]

All right, I'll see if I can't chase a few in this direction.
