Time: Jan 16, Nighttime
Description: Anise spies Kratos and enables him to buy her dinner


Anise hated waiting. She would much rather go out and do something than to just sit around. With the recent events, she really wanted a weapon to help her out but she can be picky. She was use to having Tokunaga, her doll, do most of the work but what can she do now? She was use to being in the background and dish out spells, she wanted a staff. However, there wasn't much she could do. She had to try out different weapons.

With a sigh, she mumbled and went out to get some dinner. There was no use in getting upset on an empty stomach.

"But wouldn't that mean you'll get wasted?" Although she wasn't sure how high his alcohol tolerance was. If he was of rich heritage, he could handle it...right?

[flamberge]

"Two glasses of wine is hardly enough to result in intoxication." Now six or seven could give him a pretty good buzz, but no need for such a thing existed. This wasn't some fancy noble party which required alcohol to keep him from losing his sanity; it was dinner with a young girl.

[tokunagas]

"How about 4 or 5?" She smirked at him before taking another bite and shoving it back to him. "If you don't eat anything it will make you slightly buzzed."

[flamberge]

Anise certainly managed to be persistent. Quite fortunately, Kratos' stubbornness matched her own. "You needn't worry about me. I am well aware of my own tolerance."

[tokunagas]

"If you say so..." She smirked before asking the waitress if she could have a box. "Well, I'm stuffed, are you sure you don't want to eat anymore? It's not going to taste as good when we go back home!"

[flamberge]

"Yes, I'm certain." He replied right before finishing off the glass of wine.

[tokunagas]

"All right then! Don't come crying to me when you regret it!" She said before placing her food in tomorrow. Then she stared at him. "I'm not going to have to give you anything in return right?"

[flamberge]

He momentarily raised an eyebrow at her. Did he really seem the type to want something in return for all this? "I'd never expected anything of the sort."

[tokunagas]

She eyed at him for a moment before smiling. "All right but you have been warned!"

[flamberge]

His eyebrow remained raised. "Warned of what?"

[tokunagas]

"That people might take advantage of you."

[flamberge]

Again with that sad face. His voice sounded a teeny bit kinder when he spoke up. "My generosity does not impact my better judgment. I will not be taken advantage of easily."

[tokunagas]

"I'm not so sure, there are those who are a lot smarter than they look." She sighed. He was sure optimistic too...

[flamberge]

"I'll be careful, rest assured." Really, he was a decent judge of other people's character. At very least, someone shady could be easily spotted so no need for worry existed.

[tokunagas]

With that said, the waitress comes back with the check. As Anise looked at it, the price of the fish was...well...

"Jeez...I didn't know it was that expensive!"

[flamberge]

Kratos took the check from her and didn't even flinch at the price. Actually, the amount was less than he'd imagined, but that felt something better left unsaid. He set it down on the table and pulled out his wallet, placing several bills inside the black case with the bill.

[tokunagas]

Meanwhile Anise just stared at him like it was nothing. Damn those rich bastards! With a sigh, she waited for the check to come back. "So how rich are you again? How can you pay like it was nothing?!"

[flamberge]

"It is impolite to ask another's financial status." Came his calm reply. The waitress came back with his change fairly quickly. Kratos placed it back in his wallet before taking out another $20 and leaving it on the table for the waitress.

[tokunagas]

As Kratos left a 20 dollar bill, her eyes widen. "Are you serious? You don't need to give a $20 tip! 5 dollars or so should be enough! The price isn't even over 100!"

[flamberge]

He stared at her for a moment. How tips work wasn't something overly familiar to him. Usually he'd just leave around 2000 gald, which $20 seemed the equivalent of and thought nothing of it. Maybe being an raised an aristocrat really did impact his behavior. "A job such as this is typically a low paying one with the employees obtaining a majority of their pay through tips. Leaving a twenty seems only courteous."

[tokunagas]

"But that's not how it works." She simply said. "Besides, do you do this all the time?" Can you see the look for disapproval? You're still too nice, Kratos, she thought to herself.

[flamberge]

Oh he saw the look, but just politely chose to ignore it. "Whenever I go out to eat, yes." Can you see why he doesn't go out much? He'd be broke.

[tokunagas]

"But you'll run out of money quicker! You need to manage it more carefully and especially in a place like this!" Although he could probably cook some food on his own. However, she wasn't so sure since it seems like more people ate out more.

[flamberge]

"Money is hardly as great a necessity here considering a majority of things are provided by Shibusen." Which was nice. Money could be spent on other important things, like books or the occasional nice meal or whatever else.

[tokunagas]

"But you could still save it up..." That 20 bucks...going down to waste for a tip! Anise honestly couldn't understand that at all.
