[attr="class","grHeaderB"] [attr="class","grBody"]She had not thought her day would go like this. Her motor was brought to her home as she decided to well not call in sick but that she needed a moment. Maybe even more surprising was that she got a "we understand and take your time." The heck Japan? She always thought they were workaholics, she felt like a workaholic every day here and so on. She just couldn't understand they just let her go like that, easily, without anything else, god she felt tired. Tired of herself, tired of making the wrong decisions. If she wanted Tomio to pick her as his Secretary of State, she should be there. But he was in a meeting today anyway and she wasn't invited, so it did not change anything. What would change today anyway? Nothing right? She was just going to relax and enjoy today. It was a miracle she blurted out a simple okay to Antonio when he asked and asking if she could at least drop her motorcycle off at home before they would go out to do something. She had tested him to see where they would go for their dinner plans, only to be asked for more of her day. She would bring her motorcycle home and he would finish his job. She should make him breakfast. So that's what she decided to do once she parked her vehicle in her private garage and got up with the elevator. She changed her heels and motor boots into flats, made sure her hair was fine and her light orange coloured trousers and her white blouse were okay as well. Fixing her lipstick, fixing her mascara... as she touched her lips she thought about the tender kisses... what to say about it?[break][break] She felt it again, the lingering thought with a strange feeling as she thought about Antonio. As she remembered how he looked as she was about to hop out of his care minutes ago. It felt desperate, hopeful and strange, she wished people looked at her like that, probably the reason for why she said yes or the sure, she did not even remember what she said. Did it matter? She should be more distant, she should not get these feelings, it wasn't as if there was more between them than some sort of kindling friendship that was maybe not even that. Maybe, just maybe for a small percentage, she wished they had met before and that it would not have ended with her being an informant for the good, the bad and the stupid. But here she was, here they were, just doing what they needed to do, whenever they felt the need. It was honestly very sad.[break][break] Hm, she looked in the mirror again, wondering if they could come back to change into her other outfit before she decided to drop the bagel in the toaster for Antonio and change in a dark red dress that looked quite nice on her body, perfectly matching with her skin, giving her a romantic look if she could say so herself. She fixed her hair and stopped and stared in the mirror. She was doing it, she was breaking... No she could not do that, it would be bad, it would be devastating, it would give more trouble. Maybe she should cancel, but she already heard the doorbell as the elevator with Antonio probably arrived and she went quickly back to the kitchen as if nothing happened and presented the possible starving man with a bagel. "Surprise, breakfast!" Hopefully he liked bagels? And what were they going to do, he had asked her but that did not mean that she had any ideas?

Antonio and Narcissa went their seperate ways. He went to hunt down his target and finish his job. Once he found the location, it was simple. All he needed was: leather gloves, a bullet, a silencer, a bonesaw and 6 trash bags that went to 6 different trash cans. After that, he made sure to change to clean clothes, so he can meet Narcissa. He didnt want to see her all bloody, that was just a one way ticket to jail. He washed his hands and his face and just stood there for a brief moment to look at himself in the mirror. He was determined to put it on the line... for her.
But what broke his train of thought was his stomach rumble, which made him chuckle.
So he wasted no time and drove over to Narcissa. He arrived quickly due to him speeding as much as legally possible. And he arrived to her penthouse, with a sound of a doorbell, she arrived and presented him with bagels. Her surprise was sweet
"Oh bagels?" he said slightly surprised. Albeit pleasantly surprised "Oh I love bagels~" he said in a more seductive tone. With that he kissed her hand and soon took the bagels she presented him and went to sit in the kitchen or where ever she ate. Upon sitting, he tried the food and he loved it. She can see it by his expression. And honestly, this felt like an amazing reward for his crappy job.
He finishes the breakfast rather quickly, it was clear he was hungry "Mmm, delicious" he said, complimenting her cooking. And even if she didnt cook and just ordered it. He appreciated her sentiment. He just hoped that tonight would end well for both of them. But best not to fret over that now. Best to enjoy the present

[attr="class","grHeaderB"] [attr="class","grBody"]She had left the door open for Antonio to come in through the small hall that she had and enter her living room plus kitchen space. The kitchen is on his left hand with the kitchen island going and make an u-form and the big windows looking out over the city. She would love the freedom she had as no building was immediately in front of her own. She just fixed the bagels in the toaster and would get the cream cheese and look into her fridge what more she could feed the probably hungry man. She would put a strawberry in her mouth while making sure she was doing fine and on time. She looked up surprised that he was sounding eager about the bagels and she smiled a little satisfied that he was actually loving bagels. She smirked and bit her lip as she shook her head and fixed the rest of the bagel stuff and put it on a plate and made sure that he would not let her drop the knife or anything as he kissed her hand. She put the plate in front of him, indicating that he could take a seat at the sort of bar that her kitchen formed. She would finish her own and went to sit on the barstool next to him.[break][break] She was a little hesitant to start her bagel, it felt weird. Everything still felt strange, she could not put her finger on it. Maybe it was just that he asked her to spend the whole day together after she agreed to his dinner suggestion. It was strange, too strange but what to do about it now. Everything was arranged so to say. She was surprised as she was on her third bite that he already finished his bagel and she opened her mouth to say something, "You don't have to exaggerate it's just a bagel?" Was he just trying to be kind, what was going on here. "Do you want another bagel? I can make a new one." He must be exhausted and hungry, did he work all night and not had breakfast until he got here and it was already towards noon? Hm, sometimes she wondered how good Antonio took care of himself or if everyone else came first, she wanted to ask and yet she did not dare. So she took a quick bite of her own bagel to hop off and put the bowl with strawberries in front of his nose.

"I wasnt exaggerating it." he said as he licked his fingers "It is delicious" he indeed was incredibly hungry that even this simple bagel was a godsend. Narcissa then asked would he want another bagel. He looked at her and thought for a moment before answering "Well, I mean... I dont want to bother you."
Funny thing is that his answer actually answered another question she had. One that he didnt ask. Everyone came first. Even her. He didnt want to bother her with making more food. He wanted her to rest and he didnt want to waste her resources. He was a tool people would use. So with that mentality of course he put others before him.
And with that Antonio watched her as she took a bite of her own bagel. He smiled as he watched her. Antonio had to restrain himself from kissing her. He had to keep his lust at bay and just appreciate her for who she is and what she is.
He was so into her and daydreaming, he didnt notice her hopping off, but he did suddenly notice strawberries.
"Aw, you shouldnt have" he said. After all, he didnt want to use her and always felt bad when he would. He already asked Narcissa to help him with one thing. He didnt want to abuse her kindness. He wanted to do something for her and return the favour.

[attr="class","grHeaderB"] [attr="class","grBody"]She made a soft chuckling sound, "You must be really starving then, poor thing." She couldn't help but touch his cheek and she had to make another soft chuckling sound as she noticed he licked his fingers. I mean, it's not much to make you another bagel," But first she wanted to work or at least eat some more bites of her own. With the cream cheese still lingering on her lips, she hopped off her chair to get him at least the strawberries that she had cleaned and prepared this morning so she would just get the bowl from the fridge and put it in front of him. She swiped the cream cheese of the corner of her mouth and licked her finger before quickly with her free hand grab a strawberry and push in his mouth. "Don't be such a weakling, I offer you something, just take it." She shook her head and leaned over the island to grab her bagel and take another big bite before turning to get another bagel and put it in the toaster. "Maybe I will let you put the cream cheese on it yourself so you work for it." She brushed her hair over her shoulder. She would also brush off the crumbs from her dark red dress and climb back on the stool that was next to Antonio.[break][break] She put her bagel down and took a strawberry herself. "I can't remember the last time I had nothing to do." She leaned against his shoulder. "What do you do on days off? I imagine I would go back to sleep or take a long soaking bath but you said we would spend time together, so what will we do?" She moved her finger over a dollop of cream cheese and proceeded to put it in her mouth. She wasn't sure what to do at all, she would maybe go to the garden but again was that fun if Antonio did not care and so on, what to do about it? She really wondered what he did on his day off. That's why she looked up before quickly getting his bagel and just get him the cream cheese and just looked up at him. Wondering what to say, it was not even that strange that he was in her house, she shouldn't believe it but she could get used to this and she bit her lip and looked at the plate that she pushed forward to him and quickly get another strawberry. Maybe she should get him away from her, ask him to leave so she could prepare for tonight and not just spend the whole day together, but it was already too late for that.

Narcissa chuckled upon hearing his compliment and indeed arrived to the correct solution that he was hungry and starving. He smiled to her and felt his heart beating a lot due to her warm and welcoming personality and the kind gesture of putting her hand on his cheek. Oh how he couldnt wait for later. He didnt have the guts to say it now. He wanted it to be special and memorable. Now he focused on food and licking his fingers. Mmm tasty.
She said its not much to make another bagel
"Very well. Then I require seconds!" he said asking for more food. Although she had to eat hers first which he remembered and thus patiently waited. After that she hopped off her chair to get him strawberries that she had cleaned and prepared this morning. She got the bowl out of the fridge and put it infront of him. Gosh, it took him everything to remain civil. But he felt his mouth was watering. He then noticed Narcissa was ready to feed him?? GOD, she was PERFECT!!
He smiled and happily took the strawberry in his mouth. He wanted to protest on the weakling comment, but his mouth was already strawberry stuffed. After that gesture, she ate more of her food. He did look at her when she spoke. Nodding and putting the cream cheese. Meanwhile Narcissa got back to the stool next to him and he was just happy she was there
The two conversed more, Narissa said how she cant remember the last time she had nothing to do "Oh?" Antonio asked curiously. But soon just stopped talking to enjoy his time with her leaning against his shoulder. Although he did have to think what he does on days off "I used to do music stuff and taming animals. Now I dont do much. Just collect trinkets. I dont know, I havent exactly found a good pass time in Japan, honestly" he said and then continued to eat.

[attr="class","grHeaderB"] [attr="class","grBody"]It was funny and yet very strange. It was difficult to actually fill in what she felt. She was okay with this, that was what it was. It was a strange thing and she could not help but laugh when Antonio said he required seconds, how he smiled and how he laughed, it was just... calming, nice even. It was something she had not felt or seen in a long time. Everyone felt so fake, so hostile and she had felt very lonely and insecure, feelings that miss King did not like to feel for sure. But she could be just her, he accepted her grumpy moods, probably did not love them but at least he did not push her away for blame her for something she never did. She got the strawberries and a second bagel and ushered him to fix the rest of his food himself, forgetting to ask for drinks or anything. Even though the whole thought behind being in Japan was hateful, this was her safe place, she loved her house. She loved the red and white kitchen cabinets, she loved the big kitchen and the kitchen sort of island or bar, whatever you wanted to call it, which they now used as their breakfast table.[break][break] She leaned against his shoulder with her head while nibbling on the rest of her bagel and watching Antonio spread the cream cheese on his. God she needed to eat better, well at least she had fruit and bread, so she was doing relatively okay. "music stuff and taming animals, now you sound too Spanish. How long have you been in Japan?" She asked curiously, between her bites and munching on her food. "I mostly go for sports or a walk, I am so deadly boring for sure. There is this garden not too far away and it's very pretty." But she was sure today would be very busy there, so she would rather not go. She thought about it, "I love love love going to the beach." It was out of her mouth before she knew it, Barbados was an island as well and god did she love to swim in the ocean, sunbathe on the beach and just enjoy the lavish, relaxed atmosphere of it, with cocktails, booze and well that. "I work for the government in daylight and work on the Garden at night. I don't think I ever had a moment that I could do nothing."

He laughs "Too spanish? I didnt even mention the siesta and the fiesta" he teased and winked. He didnt mind poking his own stereotype for laughs. But now she asked how long was he in Japan. He stopped with the laughing and thought for a moment "Maybe 2 to 3 years. Maybe 2 years. Hrmmm... I remember Semper Fi was a hot topic when I just arrived. I forgot what year that was in" he said in a more calmer and serious tone.
She said she mostly goes for sports or a walk. But she is boring for sure. There's a garden thats pretty tho "Hah! You boring? Well if you're boring I guess we're both boring together!" after all, ever since coming to Japan, he had a hard time picking up hobbies. Well, theres his collecting and well, there is one sporty thing now that she mentioned it. "Altough, if you talk sports I do sometimes practice football. Like the real one, not the american one. A few tricks with the foot and the ball. Purely recreational fun." he said, but he doubted she did as her sports.
Narcissa said how she loved the beach very much. He smiled "Sii, I love the beach too! Maybe we can go together one day?" he suggested almost shyly. Later Narcissa said how she works for the goverment at day, but for Garden at night, so she doesnt have a moment where she can do nothing. Antonio raised his brow and curiously asked "Garden? You... treat plants at night?" he was confused because he had no idea what she meant by that. He didnt know about Narcissa's group, so to him, he thought she was talking about her garden that she previously mentioned, how it was close and apparently very pretty. Antonio didnt take Narcissa as the botanical garden type. Although with the name... he should've seen it coming.
Talk about stereotypical

[attr="class","grHeaderB"] [attr="class","grBody"] "And you sometimes combine the fiesta before the siesta?" She said with a smirk and again got up from the barstool and moved towards the coffee machine, "Do you want anything?" She said while preparing the steamer for the milk, as she did that by hand and prepared the fresh-pressed coffee beans. She would like to call herself a woman of style though it was more about luxuries and being able to afford it. "Oh, I heard about Semper Fi. Not too much as it's about two years ago but it's still some black spot on the Government's image. It's fun to pretend to be stupid and poke a little harder." She had read about it often, easily found on the internet after indications of this Lady Scandal. She shrugged about it and continued making her cappuccino before turning her attention back to Antonio and leaning against her kitchen cabinets to look at the pretty man in her kitchen. "It was in 2072 I believe." She mused out loud, crossing her arms waiting for the steamer to warm up and so on before turning her back to him and speaking about the rest.[break][break] "Maybe, we should call ourselves workaholics." She wondered if Giovanni worked as much as she believed Antonio did or was that the luxury of being the crime boss. She believed herself the crime boss of her own institution but she wanted to do all the work because what was an informant if she wasn't working. She came a little closer, leaning on the kitchen island opposite him, looking at the bright green eyes and just wondering. "Football?" Hm, not such a big thing from what she remembered in her country. It was very popular that was true but not for her and her family, her father loved Cricket and rugby, her brother the surfing part and she believed her mother found nothing interesting. She probably forgot because she avoided her parents home and the tv that was always on the sports channel as her father had to stay up to date with it. Boring much.[break][break] She looked up surprised at him as he seemed a bit shy, "Why not? I could use someone to put sun block on my back." Though well, let's not talk about it. She turned around without looking at Antonio to fix the steamer and make the fluffy milk before adding the coffee and turning back, if Antonio wanted something she would made it before moving it to their little spot and remain on the opposite side, wrapping her hands around the mug. "We could make a beach walk today or go to the park, with that lake." Tokyo Park? She wasn't sure, too many names. She opened her mouth to make a snarky comment when she realized she did not tell Antonio much about her job. "Garden of Whispers. It's how I gather my intel and my favours to work in the nasty work I do." Nasty indeed, cruel as well but sometimes things simply needed to be done. Else she would never become Secretary of the State. She was still waiting for that phone call though, to hear she was the new one.

He chuckles at her joke. Narcissa then asked if he wanted anything. Antonio nodded and said "Just a coffee" nothing special, but if she wanted to spice it up and make something different, she was free to surprise him.
The two then spoke about Semper Fi, Narcissa said it was two years ago. Antonio chuckled when she said she pretends to be stupid and pokes the goverment. Bless her.
"Ah 2072~ What a year. Man time flies" he mused as he thought about the years that have passed.
Narcissa heard what he said so came to a fun jokey conclusion that they should call themselves the workaholics. Antonio chuckled and nodded "Si si. Truth. We indeed are workaholics" he agreed with her. He did work a lot.
They talked more and Antonio mentioned football "Si. Football. My favorite clubs are Real Madrid and my lovely underdogs Málaga" he then muses "Maybe if I wasnt a criminal I would've been a football player. I'm a good striker. I'm pretty sure" he said
After the sports stuff, they talked about the beach. He asked a bit shyly if he can go once with her. Shy, because he expected Narcissa to be grumpy and just say that he wants to look at her in a swimsuit. But surprisingly no, she was nice about it. He was happy
"Oh nice" he said, happily. Thinking to himself how dreams do come true.
She suggested they could go to make a beach walk or go to park. Antonio said "I prefer the park" for some reason he doesnt want to go to a beach, he belives it will exhaust him before dinner. After that they talked more but Antonio asked about the Garden because he didnt understand why Narcissa would do that at night. Thats when Narcissa mentioned the Garden of Whispers. Now Antonio was really interested and leaned towards Narcissa due to the interest.
Once she explained, Antonio said "So, is it like a league of informants?"
He was curious how this nasty wasty work is being done. He wondered what kind of people were in that group and dare he say it. Can he join her group. Well... he doubted. The group sounded like stealthy ninja spies. Nothing that was Antonio, who was the muscle and brawn. Narcissa was intelligent and had a way with words. Thats how you get intel. He meanwhile wasnt as good that much.

[attr="class","grHeaderB"] [attr="class","grBody"]She actually started to relax a bit. Which happened mostly when she spent more time with someone. Though for some people there were still lines, lines that should not be crossed. She did have that for example with Sonya, the woman had too much power to be able to relax near her. But just how he chuckled made her relax and smile a bit and she looked at him and crossed her arms and nodded and would make his coffee in a bit. First, her cappuccino so she could clean the machine when waiting for his coffee. Once done she would put them both on the kitchen cabinet and lean over it on her elbows to look at him. Talking about semper fi and all the other things. Time did fly indeed, it was already June and she was here for about 9 months already. She took a deep breath, it was shit. Everything about Japan was stupid and shitty but she would never be able to lust up and leave. It made her sigh, she wished she could change the past and just go home. But alas, dreams did not come true.[break][break] She would explain about what she did and listen about his hobbies, listen to them doing a lot of work and calling them work Catholics. She smiled at him when he did and agreed with her. Another moment to just let this moment pass by and not think too bad about it and so on. She would just enjoy this and took a sip of her hot coffee. She made a face as she probably burned her tongue in her eagerness to get it and took a strawberry and quickly put it in her mouth. Asking him about sports and again making a face, but she laughed. "I am not really a person that knows about football. So tell me something else, like what do you collect?" After all, he spoke about trinkets and the like, so what did people do. It was obvious she did not care about such things as her home obvious showed the lack of such things in the decoration. It was modern and static with not much to go around when it came to paintings, it was mostly a plant here or there. Their beach talk made her wonder if they wanted to go there now. "Well we could go to the park. I am ready to go." She took another strawberry, offered some to Antonio before putting it back in the fridge and clear the empty coffee cups and getting to the hallway to check which jacket would fit with her dark red dress. "Hm. No, I am the only one, though I am trying to work together with the Oracle. It's more like making a list of people I can use to get my information, such as Niso or ehm SilentShadow. Some are interested in the stealthy part and the eavesdropping, others do the dirty work for me." Such as killing the minister or kidnapping him, she explained that all to Antonio without an issue, even if he had his own group to worry about. They were partners, sort of, an informant had no real partners, she was there for everyone in her own opinion. It was just sometimes a lot harder to figure out what was a gossip thing and what was the truth.

Narcissa asked what does he collect. He was a bit too embarassed to say what he does collect so he said something more vague "Well, trickets. Pretty things. Baubles, antiquities and that sort of stuff" he said, but than added "Nothing interesting, really"
Music boxes, he loved them, but at the same time no. He didnt know what he wanted.
It was funny actually, their homes both lack decorations and such. Moden and static. Its something you'd see in a generic architechure magazine. They both were the same. The two talked about other stuff, beach and park. Antonio preffered the park. And Narcissa said she was ready to go. Antonio smiled "Nice. Well Im ready to go as well" he took another strawberry and put it in his mouth "Mmmm" it was so tasty
They talked more, the Garden of Whispers was the next subjects. Antonio has not heard of it, so he asked about it. Narcissa explained, so Antonio who didnt fully understand asked if it was like a league. Narcissa said she is like the only one. But she mentioned the Oracle and that Silent Shadow person
"I see I see. Hmmm, I doubt that place has a place for people like me. I'm not stealthy in a way that gets information. I'm more stealthy in a way that focuses on when and how to kill someone" he said and suddenly got an urge to smoke, but he had no idea if he can do that at her place "Do you smoke?" he asked. Just so he knows if he's out of line at her place.
Antonio was interested to join her group. But he doubted he'd be of any use, he'd love to be though. He can always add on to his vast list of skills. It was never too late to pick up a new interest

[attr="class","grHeaderB"] [attr="class","grBody"]She liked his embarrassed face, it was something human, something not... not to explain and she looked at it and bit her lip. Maybe it would go away if she kis- nope, don't think about it. She nodded, funny but she did not know what to say about it, antiques but nothing interesting, okay then why collect? But if he did not want to talk about it, she would not continue to ask thus she simply nodded and looked at him, eating another strawberry, sipping on her coffee. That was all she could do, she would just look at him and wonder. So much to wonder, so much to learn about him and she turned away and cleared the kitchen surface, "I don't know much about you actually, so interesting." She would just finish her cappuccino and clean her cup in the sink. She would come back to talk to him before she would pull him away to the hallway and would say they would be ready to go. She would get her coat over her dark red dress and would just make sure he was coming with her. The sound of him as he took a strawberry, it made her bite her lip and she looked up at Antonio, "Sounding tasty." It was something to consider. But no, they should go. To the park.[break][break] She looked at Antonio as they stood in the elevator. "I mean the idea is that people keep their eyes and ears open to send me information that might be interesting. Because I can't be everywhere at the same time and everyone bumps into fascinating new people." She smiled at him and turned her attention to him again and stood next to him, before they would hit the end of the elevator ride. "Besides, I hire people to do the dirty jobs for me, so the dirty killing, the blackmailing and so on. That is exactly what I do." She shrugged and walked out of the elevator without further ado. She would invite him, if he thought that was okay and joining the concept.[break][break] Eventually they would go and spend their afternoon on the paddle boats in the park. She had to laugh a lot as the stupid swan boat was fascinating and dumb looking at the same time, they would walk around and so on for the whole afternoon and day and had lunch and everything. A stroll at the setting sun before they would head over to the restaurant. She was quite curious at the new place and looked around while she followed Antonio inside.

Narcisa said it was interesting, since they didnt know eachother that much "Siii, that is true. I dont know much about you as well" he said. He then took one last strawberry and ate it. He really loved it. And like Narcissa sure heard it. But yes, si. Eventually they went together to the park.
He noticed that she looked at him as they stood in the elevator. She spoke, saying that the idea is that people keep their eyes and ears open to send her information that might be interesting. Because she can't be everywhere at once. Antonio nodded. He looked at her when she said that she hires people to do dirty jobs for her. Dirty killing. Blackmailing and so on. She then shrugged and walked out of the elevator. He followed her.
"Do you think I can help as well?" he asked
Eventually they arrived at the park and spent time there peacefully and maybe romantically. They were even on the paddle boats. She even laughed and that made the spainiard happy. Together they would also walk around and so on for the whole afternoon and day and had lunch and everything.
After which they went to the restaurant which was in Shinigawa, called Quintessence. It is notable that it is difficult to reserve a table in the restaurant and has been listed as among the 50 best restaurants in Asia. All in all, it was a fancy place. He really tried his best to get Narcissa to a nice place. It was almost time and he would get to tell her how he feels.

[attr="class","grHeaderB"] [attr="class","grBody"]So they talked, about the small stuff, but maybe not directly about each other, albeit she tried. He just did not give her any information and Narcissa sort of stopped her attempt to talk and learn from Antonio about his private life. If he did not want to talk about it, she would wait for him to tell something n his own, questions clearly did not seem to work. It was fine, she was sure that not knowing much about his private life would only make it easier for her, in the long run, to separate him from the man sometimes found in her bed and the man she worked with. So they would go, dressed to the nines is what she believed herself to look like although no compliments she just let it be and waited for him to join her and go downstairs. They talked about the Garden of Whispers. She really needed to do better in explaining everything about her faction, her baby, her everything but for now she shrugged. "I don't see why not, that is if you or Giovanni, do not mind to have to do jobs for me. I could pay for that or you could get favours when you need it. It is also what helps me with finding doctors for you for example." Truth be told, his job she did on her own, one day she would meet this friend person.[break][break] But the garden was doing fine, in contrast to what some people thought. It made her grumpy but she would not talk about it and left it to Antonio. During the day, their walks and paddleboat adventure she tried to ask small things, but not too much about him personally until he himself told her.[break] Eventually, they would arrive in Shinagawa, at the restaurant that he wanted and picked, Quintessence. "Sounds fancy, what do they serve here?" She walked pretty close next to him, she wasn't sure what to think about it and she was sure she recognized some of the wives of her colleagues and even one of the secretaries, great. She wondered how in hells bells Antonio managed to get a last-minute seat at this restaurant and as they were brought to their spot it seemed to be quite ag good one. "Doesn't Shinagawa give you the creeps, they introduced Marine here." She walked close to him to whisper before sitting down and taking and thanking for the menu card. French? Oh, surprising. "Please tell me we don't get here to eat escargot."
