[ She raises a brow in turn. ]

Six.

Are you sure?

Because I think I could do seven.

[You two are going to die.]

Seven? Pfft. Eight would be a breeze.

[ Carb overload incoming. ]

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.]

Ah, so you're yielding before we begin?

[ Sorry, Shiro. ]

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

No. No I am not.

I didn't think so.

[ Because she is ORDERING DEM PRETZELS now. ]

[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.

--Ah.

[ On the one hand--delicious cheese.

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

Twenty regular, please.

[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.

[ 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. ]

[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.]

[ 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.

[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.]

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

Hmm. Maybe we need some water.

[How is she doing this so fast?]

[Seriously how.]

Yeah -- yeah that would help.

[ 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.

Look at that. Such a problem solver.

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

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

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

... No.

I am... considering I will never beat you in these contests.

You're correct. Most likely.

[ What's the point in being modest? ]

But you give it a good effort and that is half the battle, isn't it?

I bow to the pretzel princess.

[Modesty is for people who aren't Allura, clearly.]

I'll remember you said that the next time I think another food contest is a good idea.

"Pretzel Princess"?

[ Hmm. ]

Not the title I was looking for, but I'll take it.

[ She's also taking this as Shiro conceding and rips off a small piece of pretzel now. ]

If I'm going to be honest, Shiro--no. No you will not.

Mac & Cheese queen?

[Is he serious, or is he teasing. We may never know.]

Hey --! I might!

[He will not.]

I will add it to my resume. It's becoming quite long.

[ The way she munches on that pretzel is positively gloating. ]

Very well. You might.

[ No, definitely not. ]
