What can I get you%3F%22%0D%0A Corwin smiled and said%2C %22Long indeed%2C Nelqa. Good to be back at%0D%0Alast.%22 He picked up a menu card from the little wooden box of them in%0D%0Athe middle of the table and glanced down it%2C confirming his suspicion%0D%0Athat nothing much had changed. %22I think I - %22 he began%2C and then Korra%0D%0Ainterrupted him with an elbow.%0D%0A %22Super Noodle Bowl%2C%22 she prompted.%0D%0A %22 - What%3F%22%0D%0A %22Super Noodle Bowl%2C%22 Korra repeated mischievously.%0D%0A Corwin regarded her with an entirely fake expression of cool%0D%0Aappraisal and replied%2C %22Correct me if I%27m wrong%2C but are you asking for%0D%0Aa challenge%3F%22 Korra responded to this with nothing more than a slightly%0D%0Adevilish grin%2C so Corwin turned back to Nelqa and said%2C %22I%27ll have the%0D%0ASuper Noodle Bowl. And some of those fried dumplings.%22%0D%0A %22And for you%2C Avatar%3F%22 Nelqa asked%2C playing the game to%0D%0Aperfection.%0D%0A %22D%27you know%2C I think I%27ll have the Super Noodle Bowl%2C%22 said%0D%0AKorra%2C as if she%27d just thought of it.%0D%0A The Super Noodle Bowl turned out to be just about what it said%3A%0D%0Aa large wooden bowl%2C mostly full of Narook%27s signature green seaweed-%0D%0Ainfused noodles%2C with some hot chickenshark broth poured over them and a%0D%0Afew chopped scallions scattered on top. Corwin%27s and Korra%27s arrived%0D%0Atogether mere moments later%2C placed simultaneously in front of them both%0D%0Aby a broadly smiling Nelqa%2C who informed the others that their own orders%0D%0Awould be out soon.%0D%0A %22Ready to lose%2C rocketboy%3F%22 asked Korra as she snapped her%0D%0Achopsticks apart and prepared to dig in.%0D%0A Doing the same%2C Corwin rolled his eyes and intoned in a deeper-%0D%0Athan-usual voice%2C %22Your powers are weak%2C old woman.%22%0D%0A %22Ohh%2C it%27s on now%2C%22 said Korra%2C grinning.%0D%0A %22Right then%21%22 Corwin said%2C picking up his bowl with his free%0D%0Ahand. Korra did likewise%3B they glanced at each other with matching%0D%0Awicked little smiles%2C and then Corwin warned the others at the table%2C%0D%0A%22This isn%27t going to be big on dignity.%22%0D%0A And indeed it wasn%27t%3A for the name of the game with Super Noodle%0D%0ABowl Challenge appeared to be eating all the noodles in the bowl in a%0D%0Asingle uninterrupted go%2C and the one viable strategy for that was to%0D%0Ashovel up the biggest possible wad of them with the chopsticks and then%0D%0Aslurp as if the fate of the galaxy were at stake. People at neighboring%0D%0Atables paused to look%2C some craning their necks. Had it gone on for%0D%0Amore than the few seconds it took%2C Anne suspected betting pools might%0D%0Ahave started.%0D%0A The tail end of Corwin%27s noodles vanished with a final%2C broth-%0D%0Ashedding flick perhaps half a second before Korra%27s. With all that on%0D%0Aboard%2C he barely had room to chew%2C but chew he did%2C putting paid to a%0D%0Awhole bowl-load of green pasta in record time. Swallowing with a look%0D%0Aof triumph%2C he tipped his head back and poured the remaining broth down%0D%0Aafter it%2C then banged the bowl down on the table and cried%2C%0D%0A %22HA%21 I win.%22%0D%0A Korra%2C still chewing%2C gave him a venomous look made doubly%0D%0Acomical by her bulging cheeks%2C then finished off her own bowl at a less%0D%0Afrantic pace and put the empty down next to his.%0D%0A %22This is no longer a fair competition%2C%22 she declared petulantly.%0D%0A%22Look at the size of your jaw%21%22%0D%0A Corwin cocked a hand theatrically next to his ear. %22What%27s that%0D%0AI hear%3F It sounds like the faint and distant mewling of someone who has%0D%0ALOST.%22%5B%2Fpre%5D%5B%2Ftt%5D%0D%0A%0D%0A%5Bhr%5D%0D%0A%0D%0A--G.%0D%0A-%3E%3C-%0D%0ABenjamin D.
