Oh. Alix hadn't thought about that; how acronyms could come across to non-Americans. "'Weapons of Appetite Destruction' is pretty close." She chuckled. "I didn't think of that, sorry."
She took a few more bites as Dizzy responded to what she requested for repayment, nearing the end of her own bowl. With her mouth full, she simply nodded at the end. The look that the younger lady gave her -- that look that said "I can't believe this just happened" -- was one that she'd seen more times than she would ever admit to. It was always a nice, hot plate for the ego, but it was embarrassing too, in a weird, not exactly unpleasant sense. It's just that she's not that great.
"You're very welcome, Dizzy." Alix got up and approached her with her own arms open wide. Hugs? Those were easy. "Bring it in!" Hugs were for everybody.
"You have a good one, okay?"
