Well, if we're talking about it in the business way. [Nobody's going to hang around if you get known for serving your best first, they're just going to get the one thing and then get going. It grabs customers better to keep them on the hook as long as possible.

Or maybe Ren's just been in business too long. Shino's attitude gets a slight hum of amusement out of him regardless.]

I mean, there's enjoying and then there's sounding like that...you must really want to give your compliments to the chef.

[Though Ren does hang around a lot of people who are a lot less prone to showing feelings like that blatantly. The closest thing he can remember recently is probably Aichi's reaction when Kai cooked for that "we just defeated a destruction god" afterparty.]
