[He always had been much more awkward and colder than his female companion, but rumour has it that he's the warmest! Too bad he's a little bit blunt, so he ends up giving off bad first impressions. But then again, it can't be as bad as Korea...right. NO ONE CAN BE AS BAD AS KOREA.
But he's not oblivious that he didn't notice he ended up giving he a bit of a fright.]
You did fine. [His expression softens up a bit.] Just call me Thien. [And then he reaches over to take her luggage, before jerking his head towards...actually where was he gesturing too?]
[Success, she's relaxed! Not to mention she allows him to use her first name, which does make things easier for a representative of Vietnam! First names are preferred, anyway.]
Hakuno.
[If she wants to eat, what the lady asks, she would also get. However, remember how he sometimes is a little blunt--]
I cleared up my entire day for you.
[...this happens.] Let's go then. Do you have any preferences?
[He's raised by France!! China's useless in this department.
Also he totally misinterpreted that she's red because of the heat. Which, okay it is pretty fair to the dude.]
You're feeling hot, no? [And he places his hand on her forehead and face, for a minute. LOOK if Sen can carry her easily, then Thien is going to do some weird shit too.]
I got an idea. We'll get a kind of chè, something with shaved ice. You can even pick the toppings you want, if you like. I think you have something similar in Japan? Ours make use of coconut milk. Generously.
[He feels like the Vietnamese one is far superior, but don't tell anyone.]
[And she came from a place where upwards of half of every person she met was thirsty as hell for her, but disqualified due to age, psychoses or death. Cut her some slack.]
U-Um! A bit, yes.
[Thankfully, he distracts her with food.]
Oh yes, I did try it while I was there. And back when I was staying at the U.N. building, America gave me... a slushy, I think it was called. But the coconut milk sounds really, really good!
[That's not going to stop France, young lady. In fact, it might not stop a good number of them! For countries, while they have a true age, their physical age is technically their official age. Unless you're China and Japan in which you really want to stick with your actual age. Bunch of old farts. Vietnam? He goes with his official birthday.]
America's slushy must've been supersized. [Typical...but BARGAIN. Vietnam can't say no to a bargain either.] You can get some strange colours with my shaved ice too. But not the colouring. It'll be natural. Like pandan. [He ponders for a moment. She might not know this.] A type of leaf. It'll be green.

You just arrived, no? Are you hungry? Tired?

[She smiles up at him, faint but warm.]
I could eat. Unless you had plans?

[She glances down, and feels her cheeks go hot.
She's desperate not to take that out of context, but it's... nice, having people prioritize her like that.]
Then, something I can only find here, maybe? Or sweets.

[Hakuno is a bit of a sucker for bargains so she drank all of it just fine, but still.]
I'm fine with anything that isn't red.
[Vietnam's version sounds yummier anyways.]
