Worry not. They will still have the same effect as an authentic Khura'inese charm. If blessed by a holy priestess, then there will be nothing amiss with it.
[It's a shame Rei didn't give her that charm about an hour ago huh?]
Oh this looks nice.
[Once the food is laid out and she's said her little prayer, Rei picks up her burger and takes a sniff. Spicy. But not too bad. And then takes a bite, chewing thoughtfully while waiting to see what Rayfa will do.]
[ the burger is rather large, not like the kind of burgers they serve in the place. but no matter, this is going to be an experience!
she would rather use the knife and fork and slice the burger into smaller pieces, but for the sake of the fast food experience, she grabs the sandwich by its wrapper and chows down.
moments later, her face turns red and she starts coughing. ]
[Oh. Oh that poor thing. Rei had actually thought ahead though, and had ordered a milkshake rather than anything acidic. She pushes it across the table towards Rayfa and stick an extra straw in.]
Drink some of this. It's just vanilla, but it'll help with the burn.
[ she drops the sandwich on her plate and quickly makes a beeline for the milkshake, not even caring if she doesn't look prim and proper. she is going to sip the hell out of this milkshake!
[ she flops her head on the table and groans in pain. what... is happening... all she wanted to do was try the jalapeno burger! why is everything going wrong?!
rayfa does what rei tells her to do, though. which is why in a muffled voice, she responds with: ] I'm doing it.
[Rei isn't laughing. This isn't funny, it's just an unfortunate series of events. So, she quickly calls the waiter over and explains, ordering a second hamburger, this one called the Dis burger, for the second layer.]
I'm sorry, Rayfa-chan. Brain freeze happens when you have something cold too fast. It cools the roof of your mouth, and tightens a nerve there. Your tongue will warm it up.
[And...because she's a good senpai.]
And I just got you a replacement hamburger. It's nowhere near as hot, but it's still got spice to it. You'll still get to eat, don't worry. And I promise you'll like this one. I've had it, and it's more like a spicy curry, but with jalapenos instead of curry spice.
[Rei smiles fondly and reaches out to squeeze Rayfa's hand. She can tell the younger girl isn't quite so used to social interaction, so the touch is brief, but hopefully reassuring. It's also pretty evident that she had reasons for really wanting that particular burger.]
You will. The one I ordered has jalapenos on it. It just...doesn't have all the extra hot sauce on it. The kind you ordered had extra things onait, not just the peppers.
[Like. 4 more different kinds of spice.]
I'm sure you'll like it better when you can actually taste the jalapenos.

We could. That'd be nice, I think.
[Especially since it means she can give Rayfa a little more protection.]
Do you have any on you, from home or would you have to craft them?

[Seems logical at any rate.]

[ she's not a factory??? ]

[That is what you just said, Rayfa.]
That makes them as authentic as any, as you are a Khura'inese priestess.
no subject
Yes. You are correct. And I will give you the prettiest of charms. You will just have to wait.
no subject
Well, I'm happy to wait. [Really!]
As for you...I think I'll give you a charm for good health and sound judgement.

I would be happy to receive such blessings.

Ack— ow! Ow! What is this?!

[A beat.]
A brain freeze. You drank that too quickly. Just...breathe, let it out, and press your tongue to the roof of your mouth. It'll pass in a moment.

Thank you very much. This jalapeno burger is very important, you see.

Why is that, exactly?
