"Ooh fancy~" He hands over an onion from his newly bought bag. "I've just been biting into 'em to test my sense of taste."
"No, no. No, Lightning, I'm quite alright." He considers it for a moment, though, and then, "Well, I suppose I'll take one. I'll caramelize it and put it in a quiche, perhaps."
"That I've lost all sense of taste," he says cheerfully, taking another onion and biting into it like an apple, peel and all.
He takes the onion, then nods slowly. This is not the weirdest conversation he's had today. "Of course. And have you come to any conclusions in these tests? Other than the importance of mouthwash."
Lewin lets him take the bitten onion with a grin. He has a whole bag to continue his daily check. "Why? I can't taste anything so it'd just be a waste."
He's pretty sure he can feel his eyes stinging just from this, alone. "Okay, then, enough of that." He's going to attempt to pry the onion out of his hands. "How about something a little heartier, Lightning, hm? Even one of those grease traps you call burgers would be better than this. You can even put some onions on it, if you'd like."
"Aw, c'mon Angel, if you make me food I won't be able to taste it. That's just mean," he chuckles. "I lost my taste before the onions, I'm just using 'em for testing if it came back. Got cursed!"
"Because you need to eat something other than raw onions, Lightning, and I'm sure if it's killing your tastebuds so effectively, it's doing even worse things to your stomach. You need actual food to balance this out. I'll prepare you something. Give me a moment."
"I'd say I'm feeling peachy but that seems insensitive to my tastebuds," he grins. "Yep, little grey one cursed me. Japan's full of 'em, pretty powerful too! It usually fades after a while and I've only had it for a few days. They're fascinating and I think they're connected to the Gate!" He gives Angel's arm a pat. "Can't doctor my way outta this one."
Oh, well, that changes things, surely. "You got cursed? Did a demon do this? Are you feeling alright otherwise? Have you seen a doctor?" You're the paladin, Angel, you're a doctor. "I'm a doctor." He verbalizes, reaching forward to place his hands on Lewin's shoulders. "I'm terribly sorry, Lightning, and here I thought you were fooling around. How long have you been like this?"
By the beaming grin on Lewin's face, it is very much up his alley. These new demons are fantastic and terrifyingly powerful. "Aw shucks, I've been blessed with my own personal chef," Lightning laughs. Everyone just seems to want to feed him, it's kind of nice. "Though I can't tell ya if it's any good or not~"
"Strange...though, you seem to be in good spirits despite it all, I suppose this is all right up your alley." He hesitates, shaking his head. "I'll still prepare you something to eat, I don't like the idea of you skipping meals just because you cannot taste, Lightning, you still need the energy, I imagine."
"Not you, of course!"
"You're not gonna believe this, angels are technically demons too."
