[ food that's hard to eat is just a challenge to conquer, and what could be more fun than devouring your enemies? ( in a perfectly non-cannibalistic way, at least... ) river doesn't seem to mind the mess she's making in pursuit of victory either; when steve offers the napkins, she's already got stuff all over her face, and it takes her a long moment to figure out how she's going to hold the massive hot dog in one hand so she can accept the napkins in the other.
it's unwieldy but she seems undeterred, cheerfully wiping away ( some of ) the mess from her lips before speaking with a mouth that isn't completely empty yet. no manners or grace on this one, unfortunately. ]
The structural integrity has a limited load-bearing capacity, but it's a highly effective vehicle for foodstuff.
[ maybe an odd food review, when she's reflecting more on the engineering of the thing than the taste of it. but she eagerly goes back in for another messy bite, her expression pinching a little when she finds something sour and then widening at the next hint of spice. it's a confusing smorgasbord of flavor and her reactions seem to be purely reflected on her face as she works her way through it. ]
[ Not everyone is raised being taught how to keep to their manners, and some might have been raised that way, but just don't care. Steve knows that he's still on the old-fashioned side regardless of how much he's adapted to the modern day, and he does wait until he's both chewed and swallowed his food before he responds to River.
Who gives an oddly technical answer, but hey, he follows along well enough. ]
I take it you like it, then. To be fair, it's not supposed to hold quite that many toppings.
[ But she can do what she wants. He certainly isn't going to stop her.
Except it does look like she's starting to regret the sheer number of flavors she's piled onto her hot dog, judging from her face. That's not exactly a well thought out flavor profile, is it? ]
You all right? Here. [ Thanks to the Horizon, he somehow has a plastic cup of water in his hand. He reaches out to take her hot dog from her briefly so that she isn't still trying to juggle it while she drinks. It does mean he has to try and hold both their meals in one hand, but he manages as well as any New Yorker would. ]
