> They shooke their head, leaving after being dressed proper and moving back to Blanca. "Alright, let's go." 23:53:44

> "Perfect, A quick pitstop to my dorm and we'll be good to go." You turn back to look at Blanca and the freshly dressed Tobi, "Hey can I talk to you two for a moment?" You look back to the Lawman with a soft smile, "Thank you for the kind words and consideration, we'll be there shortly." You beckon the other two out the front doors as you begin to exit. 23:57:07

> The lacerator faces the tealblood. [color=teal] "Nonsense. If you wish to join me, I will instruct my dragon to stay low to the ground" 23:57:32

> They nod, going through the front doors as beckoned to do so 23:58:31

> drats, but you follow along, you desperately hope things don’t turn south 23:58:38

> "Mmm.. Sure thing. Just a quick change is in order, can't take a grand gent like yourself out to eat in these gym clothes, can I?" You even play off a sweet little chuckle as you rub the back of your neck, holding the door open for the other two, "We'll be right back, never had the pleasure of a dragon ride, so this will be exciting." And out the doors you slink, you are sweating. Just a bit of a cold one, not very much. You weren't nervous, you were using a lot of energy to keep that up. 00:03:06

> "So, now what? Think you can keep this up still?" they asked once the doors close fully. "Of all the plans." 00:05:29

((Ok, which of you guys are taking a ride on Puff the magic dragon?)) 00:06:20

MC: You Too lovE 00:17:58

> Its too dangerous to be outside with teals everywhere, ever since the chokehold placed on your caste, the teals are Empire property, untrustworthy. You stand up, lumbering tiredly back to the dorm block, the grubs safety your only current worry. 00:20:08

> The lacerator addresses the Tealblood. [color=teal] "Place your foot here to get onto the side seat. Muskard is a gentle dragon. Take my coat, it will be a colder ride tonight." 00:21:45

> You manage to steal a moment to yourself to just switch up your clothing. The tried and true white suit with the violet vest and black dress shirt, this time opting for a nice violet tie this time around. You let out a heated exhale as you exit the dorm and get back outside. Why was it so hard to be... you? The you from before, that is. The sight before you is uhh... interesting. "I see Kohai-kun went on ahead, probably to make sure everything's as spick and span as he left it. You are a special guest after all." You hop on the stout dragon as gently as you can manage, right behind Blanca. This is going to be rough after you just hung out with CJ too.. no rest for you, huh? 00:33:06

> yep, now being driven off to the restaurant and giving calls for reservations on a booth. 00:36:25

> He sits himself on the dragon, taking the harness firmly into his hands. [color=teal] "We will be setting off as soon as the Seadweller is ready to leave. Make surre you are securre." 00:38:33

> so… Cool… You can barely hold your excitement, making sure you are secure of course, can never be too safe, right? “Yes sir!” 00:40:05

I'll be sure to see what we can manage to get for this big guy to feast on once we get there." Uhh... sometimes you have to dig a hole to find water? Something like that... 00:45:42

> and now, Tobira’s at the restaurant organizing everything for the booth. Should be ready before they get there. 00:47:13

> [color=teal] "Muskard is capable of digging for his own water. We're leaving now." [color=black] He tensions the reins, setting the dragon skyward. The fly at a low distance, floating effortlessly above the campus and surrounding suburbs. Under the direction of the seadweller they arrive at the location. 00:49:18

> "Oh, then I guess this will be a good dose of nostalgia for the senses." You slip and on down. You hadn't realized it before, your hemorrhage had cleared in your eye. That would explain the lack of mention. It's... advantageous that it cleared up so soon. You proceed to the grandiose front and hold the door for those you have in tow, "You expense is too good for a guest of your caliber, so feel free to order as much as you'd like." 01:26:42

> "Really? Well there will be plenty of time to satiate anything that comes to mind." You weren't too sure where to sit, so you just take up a seat next to Blanca, turning to give the waiter your order as well. Despite eating not too long ago, this is [i]definitely[/i] making you hungry, "One of everything, please and a butterscotch tea for our guest of honor right here." 01:49:40

> [color=teal] "Now that we'rre all seated. I'd like to ask a few morre questions. It would be terrible to leave without learrning about my new dinnerr guests. Let's starrt with names. I am Glumso Hawkat, Senior Insitgator for the North District Legiscorp." 01:50:14

> the waiter nods and walks off, going to get the drinks 01:57:09

> “Gaijin Makato, that’s my name.” It’s on all the paperwork for you, may as well use it. 01:59:58

> “ and I am Blanca slaete, just some acquaintances and sparring buddies of these fine folk” 02:02:22

> Well, there's no way out. You've got to lose a few things to gain what [u]really[/u] matters, and it doesn't matter if you [i]can[/i] keep this act up. You [i][u]have[/u][/i] to. You offer a vague smile, "A genuine big shot, a [i]Senior[/i] Instigator, the campus is in phenomenal hands." No one else could get your name out of you, but lying is pointless: both because you don't have the time to set up a fake identity and your real name isn't tied to anything nefarious, you cover your bases well, "I'm Zegama Foenix, any questions you have, feel free to fire away." 02:04:26

> “Huh” finally he offers to say his name, though you thought you knew his name, but you can’t remember… Oh, well, better late than never 02:07:45

> "Keheheheh! Learned it off the streets, earned a living, earned my food, and earned my pay, even earned a job with fists! Only reason I ain't dead because of training is because coach here reminds me constantly to take it easy!" they chuckled wit that off brand noise. That aint the 'nyoho' that i know >:1 02:50:10

Ultimately, you don't care. Some of the others might be... hm. Put out in some way, but you just don't care. She can do as she wishes, you won't stop her. 03:43:07

> “ sure! But you don’t need to be so kind about it, I’m just trying to learn the basics after all” now that you know that he knows that you know that he knows that you know that he knows that you know… It’s time to figure out what to do with that information… which is to say jack diddly squat until you are able to leave 03:50:13

Posterity is important here, otherwise none of this works, "And I trust in your grandiose example to give her a solid guiding light, I'm sure once she's ready- her budding will prove prosperous." Heh, yeah. Posterity. You don't know what they could be thinking, you simply aren't. Your pan is fried and an inky black chasm of nothing more extremely recent thoughts and far back memories.

And of course, Zegama is getting most of it.

> you just take some quite bites of orb, nothing more you can do now 04:14:39

> Ah food at long last, "Don't sweat it, get it out to me whenever you have the time." You give the waitress a nod and wink, before redirecting your attention back to your guest of honor. Hm. "Who, me? No, no, I've been liking this law talk, very insightful stuff, but as for me? Well my job is, comparatively, the antithesis of my hobby. I'm a businessman mostly, I work for the Orion Inspirworks Company, I'm sure you heard of it in passing, nothing critically acclaimed, bur certainly worthy of the praise it receives." You interject your speaking with a lifting of your chopsticks to poke at one of your food orbs, "I'm a department head, my focus on the meetings, the timetables, dealings and the sort. Paperwork can be a drag, but I don't need to tell you that, am I right?" 04:20:00

"I value individuals, especially those who clearly have outstanding traits." You gesture to Tobira with your chopsticks after gulping down a beef orb, "Makato-kun over there, my Kohai as I've mentioned, owns this fine place. Not too shabby for someone who started off as a bit of an urchin. They made something beautiful out of their situation, invested. Now, here I am, big old Onii-sama, getting treated in such a fine establishment. Really brings some actual class to this district." You grin a bit and wink as you point to Blanca right beside you, "And with her aspirations and dedication to working hard, it's hard to deny someone like this my attention. No different for anyone else of any other class, but they have to have conviction and morals. Weeding through flippant stones to get to the true diamonds in the rough is tough at times." 04:36:47
