[godstongue]

I can eat spicy food.

[ She's lying. ]

[gnasher]

yeah, that's what people say.

until they try mine.

[gnasher]

and learn the true meaning of heat.

[godstongue]

I already know the true meaning of heat?

[godstongue]

heat
hēt
noun
1. the quality of being hot; high temperature.

[gnasher]

wrong. true spice is soul-searing!

[godstongue]

But that's the definition of heat.

[gnasher]

i'm redefining it.

[godstongue]

[ Sounds fake. ]

You can't just redefine a word.

[gnasher]

why not? we live on an alien planet.

[godstongue]

That changes nothing.

[gnasher]

are you up for my spicy food challenge or not.

[godstongue]

Yes.

[godstongue]

And if I leave unscathed you are no longer the renowned redefiner of this alien planet.

[gnasher]

you're on, nakiri! be ready at any time!

[godstongue]

Okay.
Good luck to you.

I do require a notice in advance, at least an hour.

[ SORRY SHE'S A KILLJOY. ]

[gnasher]

is there a high level tasting technique....?

[godstongue]

Are you referring to my God's tongue?

If not no. I just like being on a schedule.

[gnasher]

your what now?

oh. i can appreciate that.

[godstongue]

Don't worry about it.

It's how I've been living life for years now so I doubt I'll break out of that habit even while I'm here.
But it's normal for people to go about their day without one, right?

[gnasher]

you can't just brush over it, oi. what's a god tongue?

maybe? i've got a rigorous schedule myself, so i wouldn't know. but i'd hope you're open to some surprises.

[godstongue]

It's what I'm known for back home. My tongue can analyze any dish, down to the spices and time taken to make it, with perfect accuracy.

As long as it doesn't cause any problems it should be fine.

[gnasher]

that's pretty incredible! like some kind of cooking superpower.

my cooking's a good surprise, i promise. this isn't a set up for the world's worst chili.

[godstongue]

It's both a blessing and a curse.

I expect nothing but the best from you. If you do manage to soil my tongue I will never forgive you so long as we are breathing the same air.

[gnasher]

sounds like natural talent, yeah.

[he wouldn't really know apart from what he's seen Haru struggle with -- he's only cursed with drive, not talent. and he has to work himself to the bone to match Haru's incredible natural skills]

i work well under pressure.
