[She saw the signs. She knows enough to parse out numbers, she sees "10", "15"... but she cannot link them to the item listed beside it, whose characters to her are just... shapes, not letters.
In her own world, she had never felt embarrassed for not knowing how to read. No jinba she knew was able to. Most of the human grooms couldn't either. In her master's breeding stable, only the master and his more trusted aides were literate, so what shame was there in it? She also... had never had to say it out loud. People would be more shocked if she could read. All she'd been taught were a few basic characters for use passing orders in battle, and she recognized certain words based on their shape just from seeing them so often, things like "rice", "tea", or the shape of her own name as it was carved on her stall's wooden nameplate...
She doesn't know "donair", or any of the other offerings here. But even though everyone she's met here seemed able to read somehow, though she had been embarrassed by shock or questions multiple times since she arrived in Horos, he didn't- He just answered, so. ... Good.
Hayame looks into her pouch for her coins. She is so hungry. She has been so hungry since the dryad cursed her. Even if she weren't cursed she has to eat so much more than a human did to maintain her body mass and strength, but right now...]
I will order a large, then.
[Normally, it would likely take more than one Supreme to sate her, but. For now... This is what she will do.
What she does, putting down her coin and coming away from the window with... something very strange and foreign and criminally good-smelling in her hands.]
