[alcobrawlic]

[ Like she could judge him, this is the person who'd been a child mercenary for way too long-- you grow up, whether society thinks you're ready or not. ]

... Is there any alcohol here for that conversation?

[ MAYBE BEING DRUNK WILL MAKE IT EASIER. ]

[jokered]

We're a cafe, not a bar.

[and sojiro is a somewhat responsible guardian, except for the part where he didn't really ever stop akira from phantom thievery.]

...But there's a vending machine around the corner. [bless japan and their liquor vending machines?]

[sharplydressed]

[THIS VICTORY IS HIS... For now. Who knows how long it'll last, but he's enjoying it while it does.]

Just like, five more minutes! Or maybe ten. That's not too bad, right?

[arseid]

... You will release me after five minutes.

[ It's not worded as a question, but it is sort of muffled because she's still face-first in a pillow. ]

[alcobrawlic]

... I love Japan!

[ said so very fervently, but she's pushing back her chair and hopping to her feet. ]

Which corner?

[chromogenic]

[ "A cute boyfriend" would have made him laugh! Though what he was really hoping for is a materialistic answer. "A cute hat" is easier to gift wrap!

Back to the drawing board for him, in any case. Unless... ]

Why not make it a road trip? Y'know, Iiiii can drive a car. [ Why is that so impressive?! ] Full disclosure - I only drove it into a pole once, but that's 'cause I was trying to turn up the music on the radio.


T'was the chocobo song...

[spinatalltale]

It certainly was! I'm impressed with your ability to improvise. The audience really ate it up.

[jokered]

[and this is why he's so endeared to her, that exuberance for something so mundane and yet something so... sara really wins him over.]

Out, to the right, and then a right at the corner. Near the tobacco shop.

[sylfied]

I know a lot of really dramatic people. It's my curse.

[alcobrawlic]

[ if only Neithardt was here so she could gloat about how someone finds her love for alcohol endearing--

But alas, he is still firmly back home (hopefully), so Sara offers a jaunty salute instead. ]

Got it-- be right back!

[ SHE'S ON THE HUNT. ]

[whereabout]

Well, I'd rather we fix a few ornaments than have to fix you.

[ He straightens back up, but he's going to keep hanging onto that box rather than tempt fate by giving it back to her. ]

Where were these headed?

[cakemyheart]

[ Hey, it's impressive enough to Ann, who... can't. Actually, she thinks Makoto is the only one with a license, but still, impressive!!

... A little concerning with the mention of a pole-crash, but maybe he just needs a second pair of eyes. ]

Are you sure? I mean, that's sweet of you, but that's kind of asking you to go waaaaay out of your way.

[jokered]

[it might not be the love of alcohol itself, but he's no stranger to women that use it to unwind at the end of the day...

and to this point, she's a little less of a hassle for him than ohya can be when she's plastered.]

I'll be right here.

[mostly because he kind of has to stay put, anyway.]

[alcobrawlic]

[ It's fine, Sara will be bounding back within minutes, clutching a can between her palms and looking much more satisfied as she leans against the counter. ]

Ah... that's so much better.

[kreuzen]

Hardly.

[ He's also not harboring any delusions about Machias being able to move fast enough to catch Fie if she decides she doesn't want to be caught. But that aside - ]

Well, whatever you need to tell yourself to preserve your pride is fine, of course.

[ Pulls that book towards himself, though. Flips idly through a few pages. ]

[minorcannon]

The guild! The upstairs part of it. They gave me permission to decorate!

[ ... she's so excited. ]

[whereabout]

[ It's a good thing he saved her from this before she tried to tackle stairs with that load, clearly. ]

Need me to carry anything else?

[ Please let him carry something else. ]

[inheiritor]

[She's cute.

But.

It doesn't distract from how embarrassing this situation is.]

Ah.

So it is that bad... I... your friends are rather--difficult to argue with...

I... I will go change...!

[arseid]

W-wait--

[ WHO IS SHE GOING TO HAVE TO SCOLD LATER

Well, more importantly, she's reaching out to grab his wrist to stop him. ]

Seliph, just-- hold for a moment, it's not bad, it, ah... suits you--

[ Kill her. ]

[regnitz]

My pride is just fine without your snide commentary--!!

[ Hold on, he's just huffing (loudly) and stomping off to go and try to corner a Fie.

It's not going to go as planned. ]

[inheiritor]

[Okay, well.

He's stopped.

And.

Hesitant.]

Ah, that's...

What...?

[He's not sure he's happy that that's true, but he's glad Laura's not like... horrified.]

[arseid]

[ Seliph please, it's not like you showed up in only a thong. ]

You look... [ yep, she is still very much red. ] Ah.

... Very attractive. Moreso than usual, I should clarify...

[minorcannon]

... Are you sure? I think I can handle the rest.

[ She's pretty tough (no). ]

[inheiritor]

[...Ah..???]

You...are serious?

[Now he's red, but... not entirely displeased.

Uh.]

[arseid]

... Have I ever lied to you?

[ If Laura could pout, she would be pouting. ]
