Please do not feel the need to apologize! If I had only studied the menu more thoroughly, then it would not have come to this! [He answers back with both sincerity and volume. But he pauses as he considers her offer.]

It is truly a shame that Colonel Santa is not expected to make an appearance this year! I wish that I had the chance to have a word or two to him regarding the health value of his food!

[At least he can still have the food itself. He thinks her offer over some more.]

Now, normally I prefer to avoid eating friend chicken. That is one tradition I have not taken part in at home. However, I respect that this establishment is holding onto a part of Japanese tradition! I also should expand my horizons... so I would say that yes, I would like an order of fried chicken and Christmas cake!
