[ Shino is immune to cute when it's also gross as gross. He manages to kind of roll them both over the lip of the garbage container, dropping down on the far side with smears of something across his clothing. He hates it, but he also ignores it for now. ]

Fresh ones are better! Mold might not kill you, but it's still bad for your stomach, so don't eat weird things!

[ Murasame, who definitely ate the part of the bagel he wrested away from Xie Lian, mutters from the side of the dumpster: ]

Oops.

[ Enough said for Shino to whip his head around and call out at his bird half, while continuing to clutch Xie Lian to his chest like he's afraid his raccoon friend will fight free to go on another garbage consuming spree. He believes it. There's zero reason not to, okay?! ]

Murasame, you stop eating weird things too! Come on, we're going to the grocery. [ And to Xie Lian: ] Just hold on, okay?

[ Because he knows one near here, just down the block, and it has fresh pastry, so it should have bagels too? He doesn't even march, he picks up to a run with Murasame hurriedly winging after him, almost hitting the doors as they pull open a beat slower than he moves. ]

Bagels, bagels, where are the bagels... is there anything else you want, too?
