[And not too soon after, Van will be pulling up at her place in his blue pickup truck. He'll give her a welcoming little HONK HONK just to declare that he's here.]
( you're going to wake the whole neighborhood!!!!!!!
but it's definitely enough to get her to mad-scramble out, all but flinging herself into the passengers seat for the full ✨passenger princess✨ experience. )
You could've just called me. What if someone threw rocks at you? I don't exactly live in the ritziest place.
Heh. Anyone throwin' rocks at this ride is gonna lose more than a few fingers.
[That is not a threat, but a promise. It's already been totaled before and he doesn't want it hurt again! Once she's settled into the passenger throne, he starts to drive away from her place and onto the road.]
... But I hear ya. Don't wanna start up any turf wars or get ya mixed up into anything nasty, so I apologize for that.
[So he keeps her warning in mind. Van didn't live in the most high class of places either, but it was more than peaceful enough for him.]
Yes ma'am. Never been to the place you're talkin' 'bout before.
[Making the turn, he'll notice the small little restaurant with the traits she's mentioned. With that, he makes a stop right in the parking lot before getting out.]
Huh, interestin'. Been to my fair share of cheap places, but this joint looks pretty comfy.
[There's even an innocent glint of anticipation in his eyes. Whenever Van locked onto food, he could turn into a hungry little puppy.]

You should be good.
( at least she's sitting properly and not, yknow, putting her heels up on the dash. )
Whatcha feeling up to eating?

But he gives her a curious glance as he almost expected her to be tossing up a ton of suggestions. But he finds this, well, surprisingly sincere.]
Just like you, I ain't exactly the richest dude around. So I'm not lookin' for anything too pricey.
[There's a pause as he ponders on something down-to-earth, yet also memorable.]
... Up for, uh, ramen, maybe?
no subject
but anyway, )
Ooh! Then I have just the place.
( since they're still around her neighborhood and all. )
Take a right in the next turn. Small place, red roof, got a cat on the logo.
( hole-in-the-wall type establishments are truly the backbones of society. )
