Wally laughed, relieved that things seemed to be settling back to normal. The sudden aggressiveness had really thrown him, though in a way it was kind of like being with Shayera. But without the giant mace. "Sure, impress you with my eating skills or arm wrestle. Got it. Just promise you won't break my arm if we do end up wrestling, I kinda need it."

He followed Seiya inside, letting the door swing shut behind him. The restaurant was his kinda place, nice and relaxed. At the mention of chicken-fried steak, his face lit up. "You have no idea what you're missing out on," he told Seiya, "this is one of my favourite foods." Well, strictly speaking anything that he could eat reasonably cheaply, in large quantities, and enjoy were his favourites, but he didn't want her to think he was being ungrateful. He accepted her coupon with a delighted smile, wasting no time at all in ordering two chicken-fried steaks and leading the way to a miraculously empty table.

"Hey, I've dined with my fair share of beautiful, dangerous women before," Wally said cheerfully, "and none of them offered me their share of the food, which makes you the best in my book." He smiled at the promise not to write anything nasty about him, though the thought hadn't crossed his mind. It just didn't seem like something someone like Seiya would do. "I've been having a great time too," he assured her. "Now, I believe I have a few meals here with my name on them, so prepare to be amazed!" And with that, he dug in. He made an effort not to use superspeed while doing so and to eat as neatly as possible, but the burger meal earlier had barely made a dent in his appetite and the smell of the restaurant had reminded him of how desperately hungry he was, so it was an effort not to break down and just inhale his food as he normally would. Well, she did say she wanted to be impressed...
