"Hm?" [b]The woman looks at Anri, then Vio. A glint of understanding reaches her eyes, and she smiles.[/b]
"Ah, I see. How romantic! This way, please."
English
-
[b]Genuinely confused, Anri follows. But not before looking at Vio.[/b]
-
[b]Vio shrugs.[/b] "I didn't know it was [i]this[/i] fancy." [b]The woman leads you both to a table for two in the middle of the dining room, right underneath the largest chandelier.[/b] "Hello, my name is Adalie, I will be your server today," [b]She says.[/b] "Here are your menus, I will be with you shortly." [b]Vio and Anri sit down, and Anri looks at the menu. It is full of confusing french dishes.[/b]
-
"Jeez..." [b]Considering that she's from another dimension, Anri has no idea what's going on. She looks through the menu, looking for something that she actually understands.[/b]
-
"Um... I don't really know anything... french... oh, there's wine. You know, wine experts aren't really experts, they just pretend. And nobody needs to know I'm underage...." [b]Adalie returns, bringing bread, and butter.[/b] "Would you like something to drink?" "Uh... can we have a Sauvignon, please?" "Sure. I will be right back."
-
"A Sau...what? This is way too confusing. But...bread. And butter. Good meal. Let's eat!" [b]Anri treats the bread like it's the actual meal. Considering what life she lived before coming here...it's not surprising.[/b]

[b]The waitress returns, carrying a large bottle of wine.[/b] "Are you ready to order?" "Uh... can I have a... Coq au vin?" "Sure thing. And you, miss?" [b]She looks at Anri.[/b]

Edited by Orn: 7/22/2016 8:02:25 PM"Oh, um... I'll have the Coq au...whatever it's called, too. Please."
-
[b]The waitress smiles.[/b] "Sure thing." [b]She writes it down, and walks away.[/b] "Sorry about this. I didn't know it would be this fancy, and it would be... french. Anywho, what does Patches do for his business?"
-
"Oh no, it's fine. Just new to this, I should be sorry.. As for Patches..." [b]Anri sighs.[/b] "He's a murderer. He kills off people that have valuable goods and the sells those goods on the market. He's relentless...maybe even heartless. I've tried making him a better person, but it doesn't work. Tell me Vio...should I just quit? Stop talking to him? He doesn't seem to change. He's a good friend, but these past weeks have been...awful."
-
[b]Vio blinks.[/b] "I'm pretty sure killing like that is illegal. I know you've tried talking to him... but I think it's time to stop him completely."
-
[b]Anri sighs.[/b] "But...how?! Without destroying our friendship."
-
"Hmm. Well, why does he like his business of... killing, then?"
-
"I... Y'know, I...I really don't know.."
-
"Do you really want to be friends with a mindless killer?" [b]Before you can answer, Adalie returns to the table, holding a platter with two plates of Coq au vin.[/b] "Enjoy."
-
"Thank you." [b]As the waitress leaves, Anri becomes much more serious.[/b] "I want him to change how he runs his "business". I'm trying to get him to actually act...innocent. To care."
-
"I don't know. Let's... let's enjoy this restaurant, and talk about it tomorrow, huh?"
-
"Yeah. O...okay."
-
[b]Vio grabs the wine, pouring some for both herself and Anri. She downs her whole glass in one, and pours a little more, before starting at her meal.[/b]
-
[b]Anri simply sips it. She starts eating as well, silent.[/b]
-
"So... uh. How was your day?" [b]Vio says.[/b]
-
Edited by Orn: 7/22/2016 8:42:49 PM[b]Anri takes a sip of wine.[/b] "Alright, I guess. What about you?"
-
"It was... interesting." [b]She says, looking at you.[/b]
-
"Oh..." [b]She goes back to eating.[/b]
-
[b]After finishing, Vio downs the rest of the wine.[/b] "Ahhhh... d'you know how much wine was in the meal itself?"
-
[b]Anri is close to done. But her wine is still halfway full.[/b] "Nope."
