Chameleon Dog? Guess I wasn't all that clear about what was going on, then. Cinque pulled a knife out of nowhere, cut her dog in half, and did one half each way.
I suppose here is where I should mention that I am quite literally the ONLY person I know who thinks melted cheddar cheese and ketchup works on a hot dog. ^^
As for taste-clearing, maybe I need to give us sodas. That would be thematic.

"This is quite good!"
"I've never been a fan of onions, myself. Nor mustard. Mustard's too spicy. Different things for different people, I guess."
"I suppose. Now- gurk!"
"Cinque? You okay?!"
"...yes, I'm fine. Just... had a bit of a problem swallowing."
"Phew! That's a relief!How was it?"
"......"
"Cinque?"
"...I can see why there were so many different toppings available. 'Different things for different people', indeed!"
"So you don't like it."
"That set of toppings isn't to my liking, Imma."
"...fair enough."

"Look at that woman. What do you see?"
"Hmm... female, between 35 and 50 years of age... no visible Device, no signs of muscle development, weak linker core... she doesn't move like a trained fighter... I think it'd take me one move, two if she resisted."
SLAP
"Why did you just hit yourself?"
"...because I've got a lot of work ahead of me. Is that all you saw?"
"Of course. If I'd noticed anything else, I would've mentioned it. Why?"
"Because you need to widen your perspective, Cinque. I'm not an expert, but let me tell you what I see."
"Certainly. In fact, I'd appreciate it."
"Ahem. Female, or a really good approximation thereof. I'll take your word for it on the age- I would've said 25 to 35 years old, but lifespans here are longer. Single, and looking for a romantic partner. She has a job of her own- a service job, maybe, or office work. Whatever it is, she's in a position of some authority, but not too much. Middle management, maybe. If I had to guess, she lives in one of the larger cities... with a pet."
"What? How did you?"
Must resist urge to- "Elemen- I mean, it's simple."That was close.
