[That's ... Some amount of agreement or, uh, something. Nariko hasn't had decent kushari since she left her grandmother's compound! Even the diverse food scene of New Cloudbank didn't have much room for a genuinely Egyptian dish and considering that there's a literal pound of it within her vicinity she's going to stuff herself. In part because she knows he'll probably still love her despite her obnoxious appetite - but also because she'll actually share with him.
Dinner is another small example of the force that comes with a big family. Yet more relatives talk to Boxer, introducing themselves, asking about his job, about his family (and hearing that there is none will result in a few immediate hugs - it's clearly an unthinkable idea for this lot) and how things have gone with Nariko. There were more than a few jokes regarding his other halves sexual hunger. Nariko sits through it with a moderately clenched jaw and a whole lot of hot sauce dumped onto one half of her plate.
But somewhere in the middle of all that Boxer might find that he's gone through a bit of a time warp. Nariko is, of course, right to one side of him but a different woman takes his other. Her jaw structure, the shape of her eyes, the hair, and even the general shape of her body - all of it is incredibly similar to Nariko. Or rather, Nariko is incredibly similar to her, because his new table guest is in her mid-sixties, though it might be hard to discern her age, at most she looks fifteen years ahead of his fiancee.]
