[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?

[shiro2hero]

... No.

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

[princessences]

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?

[shiro2hero]

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.

[princessences]

"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.

[shiro2hero]

Mac & Cheese queen?

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

Hey --! I might!

[He will not.]

[princessences]

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. ]

[shiro2hero]

[He's not going to lie, the competitive side of him absolutely wants to stuff the rest of his pretzel in his mouth to prove he can do it... but... but it's Allura. Allura deserves a moment of smug.]

I'll find something to add to mine. Just wait.

[So there.]

Glad we understand each other.
