Elira nods in agreement to Kai's assessment, the food did smell incredible. And it seemed authentic too, the atmosphere reminding her of the small gyros stands she would to pass by when prowling for easy marks along the Athenian streets. Back in days when she and Mr. Gjoka made good money off of hungry customers too enamored by a spinning rotisserie of meat to notice a missing wallet or phone. At least until they tried to pay for meal. A familiar scene that could have played out here... if she were not conscious of one of her hands already occupied holding onto Kai that was.
As Elira studied the menu now they inserted themselves into the line, it left her unprepared for the low whisper of Kai breathing into her ear. Goosebumps run down her body with only a quite hiccup escaping her mouth in response. Yet as the tingles ebbed away, her mind now raced to come up something to say as she recovered from her daze somewhat.
“O-oh. Y-you should try... uhhh-” as she turned her head, she didn't realize just how close he was to her until their eyes locked, barely a breath's distance between their faces. Dangerously... and temptingly close. “... m-me?”
Elira blinked once. Then twice. Then thrice until she registered what the FUCK she just said. Why did she even say that? Why was she such a disaster around Kai!? She could hardily think straight around him and now she had to fast spin her way out of this blunder of poor wording uttered by her stupid impulsive mouth. Times like this reminds her why she talks to birds rather than people.
“M-M-MEAT! You should t-try the meat! T-the gyros I mean!” stammered Elira, her pitch warbling as she tried to correct herself. Pulling herself away and slipping from Kai's grasp on her, she frantically point at one variations of gyros displayed on the menu sign.
“I-it says s-s-select from you beef a-and pork and... c-chicken? Y-yeah chicken too...” stammered Elira as she starts listing off options though sounds less enthused at the mention of chicken. Still unable to face Kai for the moment, she just continues to ambles and ramble as though she herself was one trying to sell the damn meat wrap to him “T-then they put on some lightly oiled pita, wrap it up with some sliced v-vegetables, spices and... err... of spoonful tzatziki. Sound good right? I p-promise it will be good!”
