[Lia, on the other hand, keeps a brisk but reasonable pace, making sure that they're always close to each other. Tokyo is as busy as Metro Manila, and just as beautiful.

When she stops in front of the restaurant, she turns to face Brianna with a smile.]

Remember this?

[The display windows from outside are revealing a very familiar interior.]

[ Yay food! ]

Yeah, sure! I'll probably only get a few samples here and there.

[ A big grin forms on her face. That's!!!!!!

That's the place! I mean, right? Ohmygosh yes I do! It is!

[ Excited kid cannot contain her eagerness. ]

Do you have your keys? [ He says it jokingly.

The last thing he wants to do is to wreck Brianna's car. He's earning a lot more each month under Netsach than he ever dared to dream, but that's kind of... a car. ]

Same. Let's hope that the food's good.

[It probably is, but. Well. Hikaru has Very High Standards.]

[ ... She did not think this through.

She laughs sheepishly and points to her house. ]

It's uhm, it's inside.

Edited 2014-02-12 18:21 (UTC)

Yeah, it better be! I didn't come out all the way here for anything less than excellent.

[ She says that quietly, of course. Wouldn't want the other people to think she was being a brat. ]

[Cue Liandrin Delacroix being very proud of herself, and very matter-of-fact about it. Bringing them both inside now, and confirming the registration --

-- which brings them both to a more private section of the restaurant. It's a popular place, and there are always a lot of people.]

Order what you like.

[ Okay Bri is so spoiled. SO SPOILED. ;w;

She goes over the menu and everything looks so delicious.

She settles for some Unagi. Can't go wrong with some tried and tested favorites, right? Plus, she wants to compare how it's different from the ones from the Philippines.

Also ordering some things with unique names because fyeah new foodie experiences! ]

[And thankfully, the food IS excellent. More excellent, in fact, than their company, which returned to the table in order to eat with them and try to make nice all over again.

Suffice to say, the pair left a little after their meals. There were better places to hang out.

Hang out was precisely what they did until a little past 1 AM, which led them both back to waiting out on the curb for Hikaru's car to come around and fetch them.

Smiling down at his date now.]

As always, the best part of the event was the part where we weren't in it.

[ She's grinning back up at him. ]

Yeah, that was fun. I think they were a bit relieved when we left but...

[ She throws her hands up, and stretching because sleepy, proceeds to shrug. ] Who cares, right?

[Listening to Brianna with amusement before making her own orders. It's clear that she's been here often enough to know the menu very well.

Then, once they have a moment alone:]

And how has your Zangyaku experience been so far?

Certainly not us.

[Opening the door once the car comes around, and climbing back into the driver's seat.]

I sure hope that your parents don't mind you getting back this late. I can talk to them, if you like.

[ She's actually thinking about what she's gonna say. Less because she's conscious, and more because she has some opinions that she just needs to sort through. ]

They're... Something else. I could see why Yulia jumped at the opportunity to join them.

It's really nice that you let her and Taning pursue the direction they chose.

It was a group decision, really. We have been monitoring the lot of you carefully, just as we monitor everyone within our ranks.

[...Okay so she's actually downplaying things a bit. The Malice Kings have been especially vigilant about watching the War Hounds lately.

But Brianna doesn't need to know that.]

[ Oh.

Well. Shit. ]

Huh.

[ He crosses his arms loosely over his chest and stares hard at the window as if by doing so long enough the answer will come to him. ]

[ She's thinking that maybe she can sneak back inside but it's a risk.

Then a brilliant idea pops in her head. ]

Can't you do something... Sin-Eater-y?

[ She blinks. Interesting. ]

Really? What does it say about me?

[ V A I N. ]

[ And getting in the car as well. Really neat car. ]

I'm pretty sure they're okay with it. Perks of going out with someone who isnt' a creepy old guy, I guess.

[ Small chuckle. ]

[ Glancing over at her then, because powers? For getting a--

--well, there's a thought. ] You know. You might be onto something there.

[ He's about to ask her where she usually leaves the keys, and then feels the gentle, quiet nudge of Coach's presence and the solidness of the Industrial Key tucked in the cradle of his palm.

When he lifts his hand, Josh can't help the smirk that creeps onto his lips. He has an idea, and it's a fun one. ]

Let me try something. [ Feeling his Boneyard expand outwards from where he stands, the key in his hand allowing him a better feel of the Lopez residence and the things within.

Oh. Hm. ] Bri? Those models that your dad got for Roy... how old are they?

[Chuckles as well.]

Well, I am creepy, but definitely not old. Or bad-looking.

[And starting up the car.]

Should I take my time, or do we drive fast all over again?

[Heh.]

That's classified.

[Liandrin Delacroix can be a fucking tease.]

[ The first time Josh had ever laid eyes on Tala Vega, he'd thought she was pretty scary; the way beautiful and deadly things were scary.

Watching her chatter away with Wiseman Tagabigay quietly just taking all of what she says in -- Josh is pretty sure he doesn't want to cross Tala. Ever.

He redirects his attention to Brianna, tries to see what she's looking at. He hasn't quite figured out what to get her, so he's going to pitch that she pick something out and he'll pay for it instead. ] Whatcha lookin' at, Bri?

[ She's actually looking at everything and nothing all at the same time. Everything looks neat and all, but she feels like there's something she's supposed to buy. Something important, she just can't quite put her finger on it.

She looks at Josh with a thoughtful look on her face. ]

Uhm, nothing much really. I feel like there's something we should be buying for someone...

[ Sniff sniff sniff. Okay.

But she's smiling at Lia. ]

That's fine, I expected that. So uhm, how have you been?
