[princessences]

[ She raises a brow, but smiles. ]

Please. I am still ahead from our last challenge.

[ That Mac and Cheese contest... ]

[shiro2hero]

Can we really count a challenge where neither of us were sober?

[Allura why would you remind him of that!!]

[princessences]

[ Allura purses her lips. ]

We did not say that sobriety was a necessity.

[shiro2hero]

I'm just asking!

[Don't kill him, Allura.]

[princessences]

[ She sizes him up for a moment before looking out at their options. ]

How about...pretzels!

[shiro2hero]

[He raises an eyebrow, slowly, tracking her gaze. And then meeting it.]

Four pretzels.

[princessences]

[ She raises a brow in turn. ]

Six.

[shiro2hero]

Are you sure?

Because I think I could do seven.

[You two are going to die.]

[princessences]

Seven? Pfft. Eight would be a breeze.

[ Carb overload incoming. ]

[shiro2hero]

Are you sure? Have you... seen the size of these?

[He's only asking because he has a Concern now. And he's, you know. Sober enough to realize.]

[princessences]

Ah, so you're yielding before we begin?

[ Sorry, Shiro. ]

[shiro2hero]

[Well when you put it that way...]

No. No I am not.

[princessences]

I didn't think so.

[ Because she is ORDERING DEM PRETZELS now. ]

[shiro2hero]

[They're going to die. They are both going to die a horrible, delicious pretzel death.]

Wait -- Don't get the stuffed ones. They've got cheese inside.

[princessences]

--Ah.

[ On the one hand--delicious cheese.

On the other hand...she can never unsee those udders. ]

Twenty regular, please.

[shiro2hero]

[Allura you know if you change your mind, he's not going to judge...]

[Just square himself.]

[For the challenge.]

Okay. We're doing this.

[princessences]

[ Allura does not back down from a challenge. To a bitter end. To any end. Sorry, Shiro.

Once all the pretzels are ready, she sets them down at a small table. Ten for her, ten for Shiro.

Allura settles down and stares at her opponent. ]

You can back out now, if you'd like.

[ But she WILL judge. ]

[shiro2hero]

[He knows he will be horribly judged.]

[So he picks up a pretzel, without breaking eye contact. And shoves half of it into his mouth.]

[princessences]

[ Allura smirks. They have to go down this road together, okay?

Which is why she shoves one half of her pretzel into her mouth. Chews, then the other. ]

Your move.

[shiro2hero]

[Fine, if they're going this route, he's going to finish that pretzel off and move to the next one.]

[Already regretting his life choices.]

[princessences]

[ Allura quickly downs pretzel number two just to beat Shiro. ]

Hmm. Maybe we need some water.

[shiro2hero]

[How is she doing this so fast?]

[Seriously how.]

Yeah -- yeah that would help.

[princessences]

[ Excuse her while she fetches two cups of water from one of those free dispensers. She shoves it across the table at him. ]

There. Now we have no excuse.

[shiro2hero]

Look at that. Such a problem solver.

[Wow, Shiro, way to sound thrilled about this development.]

[princessences]

[ She drinks a little water before taking a bite of the next pretzel. ]

Not chilling your toes on me, now are you, Shiro?
