[ He assumes she means she knows what yakuza are like and who yakuza are. That's fine. Yakuza are prominent worldwide. What control Samatoki has in his organisation barely touches the surface. ]

I keep talkin' about myself and you haven't really said much about you. That's unfair, don't you think?

[hoasen]

[That's right, she knows thanks to her brother Japan and a lot of movies. He doesn't say much about it either. Samatoki doesn't, but she's sure it's strictly confidential because it's illegal.]

But you're interesting. Anyway, Myself? Mmm...then, what would you like to know? [She doesn't mind sharing if he wanted to know anything, but she didn't think herself as really interesting. She didn't have a Hypnosis microphone, for one.]

[coasts]

How you're. . . you.

[ It doesn't really make much sense to him, but he thought it did when she explained what she was. She said it so easily, and he just accepted it without question. Now that he has more time to think, though... ]

[hoasen]

[She taps her lip. Because it's true, everyone in her world knew what she was. Even the humans.]

So, I guess the easiest way is to think of me like a fleshed out Spirit. A friend called me a "Land Guardian". I'm an immortal in human form who has ties with a country. So long as that country has an identity of some sorts, like history, culture, people, one of us will appear. As children. Those here we all grew up. [She's the youngest looking out of all of them, anyway.] I'm stronger than the average human, I heal fast.

[ There's a low hum in understanding. He props his elbow on the table and rests his chin on his hand as he looks at her. ]

So that America guy wasn't exaggerating?

[hoasen]

[She sighs, long and slow.]

He wasn't, but he certainly made us sound...hm... [She wasn't the only one who suffered what America said, but she crosses her arms over her chest in any case.

Not that Samatoki hasn't seen them anymore, but now she wonders how he feels!]

[coasts]

Hm?

[ Guess who doesn't get it... And why she's doing that. . .

???? ]

[hoasen]

[She's...getting nervous by his confusion.]

My...chest size.

[It's average, enough for him to grab, as he realised. Enough for her to slide a dick between, a not-repressed version would say. But for now...]

Anyway, what do you think about the food?

[coasts]

Oh. [ Oh. ] The guy's a dick. I don't get why he has to point that out?

[ HE'S STILL OFFENDED FOR HER. ]

It's not a big deal.

[ He grumbles as he finishes the water in his glass. ]

The food's good. Sorry - would've said somethin' about it sooner. [ A beat. ] Thanks for goin' outta your way to make these.

[hoasen]

......Yes, now everyone knows! [She puts her head into her hands for a minute.]

Thank you, though, for standing up for me. I appreciated it. [He's such a good guy? He's cute. Stop that.]

Anyway, I'm glad it is to your tastes. I enjoy cooking, so it's no issue, really. I did think that it was odd to launch into what we did without taking you out first.

[coasts]

[ Someone has a crush... It's not him. She likes him. At least, that's what he's thinking now??? ]

Are you asking me out? [ He's smiling a smug one, but this is truly her fault. ]

[hoasen]

[Samatoki, did you somehow manage to turn a Tinder date into a situation where she now crushes on him? She's totally oblivious to the level of crushing that he's determined she has for him.

However, she's still a foolish tsundere during these moments.]

W-well! I mean, it is the proper way and it must be seen through to the end! A lady must ensure that her partner is properly cared for.

[Though the truth is she really does think he's cute.]

[coasts]

The role ain't yours alone, but if you wanna go out sometime? Sure.

[ She's flipping out on him??? Calm down, Vietnam. ]

[hoasen]

[He's teasing, SHE'S CERTAIN.]

Then, where would you like to go!

[AHHHHHHH.]

[coasts]

You been here longer than me, right?

[ He at least thinks so. She seems to have a handle of her moonblessings, having an inkling on what might appear and what might not. ]

What's a good place for you?

[hoasen]

[She taps her lip, so at least she's calmed down thanks to the thoughts of food.

She sure did go around eating.]

Many places, I'm not sure what kind of places you like to go. Many places to eat, then we have movies, the theatre. There are places that entertain as well, games and such. [She's not suggesting the underground floor yet because it's dirty. Ish.]

[coasts]

I'll go wherever you'll take me. I'm in your hands.

[ In this sort of instance, Samatoki's open to a lot of things. He's receptive because it's not like what they're going to do is anything bad. Any other time, he'd probably shut certain ideas out just because he's a cranky ho. ]

[hoasen]

[Thinking about it, he was in her hands almost literally last time. Hmm.]

Alright! Let's see, since we're still getting to know each other, why don't we go to one of the shopping malls. It's one way of learning about each other, by looking around at what we like. And then we can go have a meal.

[Look...she knows that dates are either extravagant or lowkey, and she hasn't read up on this yet SHE HASN'T PLANNED AHEAD.]

[coasts]

Sure. Show me around.

[ That totally works for him! Samatoki's taking this in stride. It's all casual. It's all cool. ]

[hoasen]

Then, it's a date--[COUGHS.]

Anyway, when would you like to do this?

[Good thing he is taking in stride.]

[coasts]

[ ... He's going to need some time to prepare, too. ]

When're you free? S'not like I have a job yet or anythin'. I'm free whenever.

[hoasen]

[And so does she. So don't say today, don't say today--]

Anytime, I don't have work either at the moment. I guess I brought food over today so in the coming days?

[coasts]

[ He doesn't mind deciding if she doesn't want to. That's fine! ]

How's this weekend, then?

[hoasen]

[Teamwork! This is what it is.]

I'm available then, so that sounds wonderful. Let's start early. Not too early, in case you would like to sleep in. [She's an early riser herself.] A little bit before lunch?

[coasts]

You gotta tell me where you're stayin' so I know where to go.

[ He'll pick her up instead of just them meeting up somewhere. ]
