This is totally not a lazy log
Who: Melaka and Haruka
What: That lunch Haruka won
When: ??? probably during or after Soulfasting
Where: A somewhat upscale diner and The Lucky Punch
[ So Melaka had issued an open challenge to people a while back with the offer to buy a meal for anyone who won against her. And theoretically for them to buy one for her if she won. Either way, it's been delayed a fair bit over all, but... Well, either way, time for the lunch with Haruka.
So Melaka contacted her, told her to place, and they would meet up there for a lunch. Simple. Easy. Not a date. Not going to be complicated by something or another. Hopefully it won't be awkward for her. Could even be fun. ]

S-sure. [ Wait. She- okay whatever... ] Yeah, that sounds. Nice. Nice-like.
no subject
And sipping this drink like she belongs here, too. Despite basically being a shiny human... ]

But now, there's a lull of silence. Melaka would fill it with more, but she doesn't know what to say. It's not necessarily an uncomfortable silence though, which is what stands out to her more than anything. Either way, if Haruka doesn't make conversation, then it'll pass, and their food will arrive, which Melaka greets with a "thank you" for the servor despite not making eye contact ]
no subject
It doesn't take long for the food to arrive, and Haruka grins, breaking the comfortable silence. ] How's the Excadrill?
[ Sky will want to hear about her friend. ]
no subject
[ Wait, oh, she means for the bear! Melaka blinks, and then clarifies ] 'Ctually, we went and trained in that Dream World, her and I. Well, and others, but her.

[ But she smirks at that seeing that expression, before she digs into her own food. She knows this place is good - id she ever wanted to treat as high as she felt comfortable with doing, it would be this place, and she smiles, putting a free hand on her cheek as she chews after her own first bite. Aaah, just as good as she recalls ]
no subject
...but she doesn't want to fall too deeply into her own thoughts while out and about with someone else, so she swallows. ] You've got good taste. I'm excited to see where you'll take me next.
[ Miss Holds the Door for People. ]
no subject
[ Still... she will try. And it gives her a little bit of a smile to hold onto the idea that she's impressing this person ]
no subject
...but even unlocking secret powers probably wouldn't help Gold overcome himself, huh. ]

Great. Always great here.

So she pulls out a few bills of her own. ] Can I make a donation?
[ If this is a matter of pride, she'll back down. But hey - the food was good. Haruka wants to support that. ]
no subject
Melaka isn't above using charity. You need to have enough pride in yourself to have it overweigh your sense of survival to be like that, and she's not stupid. She'll accept that money and use it if it helps her get by. But right now, she is honoring a loss of a duel, and for the purpose of it, she;s not going to let Haruka foot any part of the bill for the lunch itself. But after frowning at the bill for a moment, she nods. ]
Only enough to tip the staff.
[ And she counts out the proper percentage for it (aiming high, as she always tries to) before making to try to hand back the change ]
no subject
[ We cool if you cool. ]
no subject
Don't thank me yet, Sparkles. I'm still doing the tour thing, right?
1/2
2/2
Haruka smiles and falls into line behind Melaka. ] I'm right behind you.
no subject
...
Melaka will notice that might'e been a little weird in a while.
Either way, let's rock. And she sort of knows this neighborhood in the way one knows where you aspire to be, so as they set off, right off the bat, she does point out some shops, some of which are owned by people she knows. Also which ones are prone to discounts... but realizes that's tacky after only a moment. So she instead opts to zone in on this place she doesn't recognize, which... ]
S'this import goods?
[ Form Caldera? She didn't remember a glass blowing shop here ]
no subject
Haruka listens as Melaka begins her tour, liking the way she can tell these are places her guide frequents and is fond of - it gives her a good sense of her companion - then pulls up behind her when they stop in front of the new store. ] The Point makes it easier...
[ It's probably easy for her to peer over Melaka's head into the storefront. Looks interesting. Maybe they should check it out. ]
no subject
[ She's not buying it. Plus she's not seen it drop to a price she can manage, not yet. But yeah, glass blowing? she didn't even know one blows glass. So she glances to Haruka, the door, and then nods to herself. She'll get it for the other woman.
Shall we? ]

As a result, if there's anything in here that's equally or more decorative than practical, she'll gravitate thataways. Particularly if it has a sky or sea motif. They have their schticks. ]
