Touta Konoe     After the events transpiring within the sewers there were those of the Elites that lingered within the streets of New York City. While the hour was surely late, those unfamiliar with the Big Apple would have found that its fame as being the 'City That Never Sleeps' is no joke. Even now the city lights illuminate the town in a bright radiance, the city streets still brim with the sounds of cars traversing the streets and horns blaring as drivers do their best to deal with an abnormal pothole that had appeared in the road...At the very least it seemed that the local authorities were guiding traffic about.

    "Alright, So I was asking around and I think this is probably the spot Stelle got her slice from. If anything peaks your interest on the menu, let me know. On me tonight. I can also grab the wifi password from here too if anyone just wants to hang around."

    After taking some time to freshen up after their little adventure in the sewer, Touta made it a point to look into a certain pizzeria before reaching back out to the L Corp crew. Hearing Shajo's remarks about never trying any before, it seemed like something that had to be rectified, and NYC definitely seemed like just as good of a place as any for them to do so. Admittedly, he wasn't one-hundred percent certain if Moku would want any, or if Betty! could even have any. That still didn't stop him from offering to take the group out on the town all the same as a couple of genuine tourists. He's been at L Corp. enough (once) to know these guys deserve to have a nice break. Still, the location of their touring was rather...Tiny.

    While Touta had been hyping such pizzerias up as this slice of heaven, in truth the moment that they arrived at the pizzeria in question, it could only be described as a hole in the wall. Its physical location is no more than what appeared to be the side of a building. There was an entrance inside though looking in it seemed it was already filled to capacity of the two or three tables that were placed within and even then it looked smaller than even the rooms some of the Abnormalities the Agents tended to work with might be provided. However, there also seemed to be a window hanging out from which there was a single person working to take orders, and a group of tables and chairs lingering around the outside. Still, it must have been popular enough considering there did appear to be a bit of a line that had formed at the window.

    Even with all of this, their 'tour guide' for the evening didn't seem the least bit detoured as he kept their place in line. "So if this is your first time trying it I'd recommend if we get a pizza with half of it just regular, and the other half pepperoni. That way you get a taste for what it's like on its own, and then one of the more popular toppings. Oh, and anything to drink while we're at it? They got water and sodas if you want any."

    All the while he's bringing this all up, his eyes are still scanning the streets a bit while waiting to hear if they have anything in particular they want to try.
Angela Shajo and Nonon both enjoy eating and they both consider it as part of their job when dealing with Outsiders to eat with them. Frankly, neither of them particularly care that they're dirty and would be happy to eat like this if Touta hadn't suggested cleaning up beforehand. It's probably up to Touta to decide how they go about doing that because otherwise they're just going to jump in a river and call it a day. They don't have any housing here after all.

Nonon remains a large muscular lady wearing the King of Greed's EGO Gear, Shajo wears the Warm-Hearted Woodman's EGO. They haven't had reason or occassion to change. Shajo is typing up a report to Lobotomy Corp about the Teenage Mutant Ninja(?) Turtles the whole way through. He has a lot to say about it, a lot of which is him trying to complain in a way that won't get him called out for complaining.

A car nearly hits Shajo as he moves along a crosswalk. He slams his axe into the hood of the car and says, "I'm walking here!" before following after Touta. This is a complete coincidence, not an intentional reference on his part. Either way, the fact that he's a weirdo with a bloody axe discourages people giving him grief but does encourage people calling the cops so it might take a few tries to find a spot where they aren't going to be given shit.

"Woaaaah! You can get FISH on your pizza...!" Nonon exclaims in genuine amazement as she peruses a menu while wrapping an arm around Shajo's shoulders.

Neither Nonon or Shajo seemed to find anything weird about the quality of the joint. Shajo actually mutters, "This place might be a bit too fancy for me."

"Ahh it's not THAT fancy," Nonon assures him. "But I think I'll have a pizza that's half everything and--what do you want Shajo?"

Shajo scratches at his cheek. "Ehhn.....Pepperoni? Sure, pepperoni."

"Okay one half 'everything pizza' and one half pepperoni." Nonon tells Touta, apparently missing the whole point of his suggestion. "You said it was your treat right?"

She beams sunnily.
Touta Konoe     Touta imagines if they went into a river that'd probably be a problem. For one the rivers in the city are probably just as filthy as the sewers honestly. So Touta probably would have told them about a nearby gym or someplace that provided showers to the public. Not that he imagines they'd be too out of place, but even he's not trying to have them come off too repugnant. Shajo's call to bring in Nonon also works out pretty well as she ends up bringing the trio a set of spare clothes. Though now that Nonon's arrived, he's certain he's seen her about a tad as well. So the towering lady gets a proper greeting "Hehe, thanks for coming again. I'm sure Shajo told you already, but we ended up in a bit of a mess..."

    He doesn't labor the point too much unless asked about it, but otherwise keeps Nonon company as the three take the necessary steps to make sure they're left without any sewer stench. Though once they've finished up, Touta's actually taken a bit of time to offer any advice he can regarding writing up reports for Shajo. Nothing too crazy, but trying to temper the complaints into something more objective. "Not sure what you guys have to do for your reports, but believe it or not, I'm kinda used to something similar when I do missions back home." Despite Touta's ruffian appearance on occasion...He's actually got quite a knack when it comes to being knowledgeable on paperwork with making things seem more objective and business professional. This professionalism does fade though when Shajo ends up causing enough of a ruckus for phones and cameras to start getting pulled out. To which...As they pass by a nearby gazebo, Shajo has now acquired +1 Hat and +1 Jacket to his wardrobe courtesy of Touta. It's not much of a disguise but better than nothing. Albeit with how crazy this city is, who's to say this wasn't too normal?!

    Nonon's genuine responses to the place actually has Touta smiling just as genuinely. He even snickers a tad as Shajo remarks on it. "Don't worry Shajo, it's nothing too crazy. So feel free to spoil yourself a bit. And yeah, Nonon, go wild. I don't have Concord money, but I can handle getting a few pies no worries. Also you're really going for the pizza connoisseur stuff with the fish! If you're talking about the anchovies just a heads up they're really tiny fish placed whole. But apparently you can eat'em bones and all no issue."

    Seeing her just beam about the whole situation actually doesn't throw him off at all. If anything, seeing how curious and eager she is to indulge is just as much of a treat for him to enjoy. He can only hope the others can have as much of an experience with it. "Here, I've got the orders. You guys find a spot for us. And uh...Just in case, no using your weapons to get tables or what not. Capiche?" At this point he's actually looking not just at Shajo, but Nonon, Moku, and Betty! as well. It's not a stern shout, but still has a little reprimand to it. He's seen what the other two have done so far so he's just trying to be a responsible 'tour guide' and not leave the place in more disarray!

     By the time he's come back, not only does he return with half 'everything pizza' and half pepperoni, but he's also brought back a half regular pizza and half pineapple pizza as well. He places the two pizza boxes down for the group as he takes a seat himself. "Alright Agents, you're free to dig in."

    As if making sure they know he's not poisoned anything he takes one of the 'everything pizza' and starts munching down on it. From there...He's just taking his time to look about the group to see what kind of expressions they might have. If this was their first time eating the stuff, he's just sincerely curious how they'll act!
Angela Moku, of course, still doesn't talk at all. She slinks in a little later in an orange jumpsuit. BETTY! literally cannot fit inside and is going to have to wait outside. Pigeons flock to her and use her as stationary. Even in new outfits, Shajo and Nonon still wear their EGO gear on top of it. They don't seem inclined to remove them. He does wear the disguise, though, which works because this is a world where giant turtles can get away with wearing trenchcoats and fedoras to escape notice (and indeed that's what Shajo is wearing) but he's still holding onto that axe so it might be wise to not linger TOO long.

But he isn't swinging it at any cars anymore.

"Oh it's alright I got a particular way I want to write this report." Shajo says, maybe a little uneasya about letting someone he doesn't know TOO well do his job for him. "Nothin' too fancy, just have to describe what happened and complain about being sent on a wild turtle chase."

"Well, /we/ don't have Concord money either." Shajo grunts. "Just so you know."

"Yeah I think we're officially seen as 'assets' rather than members, ha ha!" Nonon laughs. "But we are paid pretty well considerin' we're working for a Wing. Enough to afford the food here probably."

Shajo nods once, "She knows 'bout fish, she used to work on the Great Lake."

Nonon's smile widens. "Don't worry, i'm just wearing gloves, you know? Heehee!"

Yeah hopefully nobody runs into trouble. Most of them aren't holding their weapons by the handle at least. Shajo seems to be a little uneasy about doing anything BUT holding the Axe with his hands but maybe once they actually sit down...

"BETTY! would like a slice of pizza too!" BETTY! shouts from outside.

"..." Moku agrees.

They eventually sit down around a round table (this isn't a Round Table) outside since the interior is all filled up.

The Agents, at least, don't seem to think that Touta POISONED anything. Moku is the only one with that level of imagination and she's not saying anything. They scarf the pizza down quickly and gush over the dish.

"Mmm... Tharff iffh grayhf..." Nonon quips.

The other smurmur their agreement.
Touta Konoe     Upon Moku's and Betty!'s arrival they're greeted just as well. Touta is especially curious that Betty!'s garnered the attention of so many birds especially at night. He thinks he even sees an owl! Though...He'll be passing her a few napkins, just in case. As for Shajo and his report, he just offers what he can, not taking too much offense one way or another.

    "Gotcha, guess you do have to tell the bosses what happened right? If I recall, the notice that was sent out first was that you guys were looking for Abnormalities, right? Ones to replace the ones that had been lost? Is that uh...Common for you guys?"

    Forget bringing up on whether or not they tended to find Abnormalities in the Multiverse, but he does recall on the previous job description something along those lines which has him kinda looking into the question a bit more. Though the thought is definitely cut off when Shajo discusses Concord money and Nonon remarking on them being more 'assets' than members. "Hold on, so..." Even through the laughing Touta has to stop for a moment, "So even though you guys could be considered Elites, it's still more as assets? Can you guys at least make requests of the Concord as Elites? That's..."

    "BETTY! would like a slice of pizza too!"

    Touta's thoughts are cut through as he hears the voice from outside. "Oh, right, coming!"

    At this point, it was just Touta who had ended up arriving after the others with those pizzas, taking his spot as he'd watch them begin to scarf it down. Touta's making sure that even Betty! can indulge if she wants to make the attempt. Though at this point it just leaves Touta less eating and more watching the group. In fact, for a few minutes he finds himself holding off from asking anymore questions. They honestly look like they're really enjoying themselves, so disrupting their meal with some questions just felt...Out of the question. So instead... "I'll be right back."

    He steps away for a moment only to return with a couple of glasses to be placed there and just as quickly brings out a couple of liters of different kinds of soda. "Sorry I can't get you guys any booze. I'm shy of the drinking age here by a year apparently. That said, feel free to drink what you want too."

    Again, he'll let them indulge as they see fit, but eventually Touta finds himself lingering at the table and the curiosity is starting to show. "So...Nonon used to work near the Great Lake? But what about the rest of you guys? Maybe it's just cause I'm not from your neck of the Multiverse, but I'd figure if anyone would be getting thrown pizzas it'd be the companies trying to throw an occasional pizza party or something."

    He says that last remark with very blatant sarcasm. Frankly the question should read more as, 'So what's going on in a world where you can't get pizza?' if anything. Perhaps it was just Shajo with such a dilemma, but well...He imagines that's not the case. So he's interested to hear more. Keen on listening if they're willing to share. As for if there's any potential interruptions, well, he's keeping an eye briefly on Shajo's hand making sure it's not as anxious as before, hopefully now that they've sat down.
Angela ''Is that uh...Common for you guys?''

"Never happened before," Shajo says. "Nothing There escaped which is real bad we haven't heard anything about a District vanishing in a surge of murder and devouring so we've still got a shot to not be murdered by a Head Strike Team."

"Haha, don't pick a fight with the Head," Nonon tells Touta. "You won't appreciate it."

"Regardless," Shajo interrupts. "The truth is is that we havne't gotten in trouble for it going loose yet so we might be able to salvage that particular Abnormality but by the sound of it the Magical Girl Abnormalities are outside our reach. That hasn't happened before but between you and me, those Magical Girls were way too dangerous to keep in the facility. Frankly too dangerous to let go. So if y'all found a way to keep them from wrecking city block whenever they have a bad day, you're welcome to 'em."

"..." Moku says.

"WE'RE REALLY LOW ON POWER NOW WE COULD BE ON TROUBLE ;o;" BETTY! says, the emoticons on her face providing the ;o; in question.

Touta seems confused by the matter of Assets versus Elites. Shajo's eyes glaze over a little as he has no idea where this conversation is going but Nonon manages to hold on here.

"Don't know what makes someone 'Elite' but we're just employees. A is the one who is a member of the Concord. We just work for him." Nonon says, scarfing down another everything pizza.

BETTY! takes a slice of peperoni pizza and smushes it into her face against her cybernetic frame. She seems to be happy with this result. "EHEHEHEH." She giggles.

"..." Moku eats a single slice of cheese.

"I'm from the Backstreets." Shajo says. "A lot of folks are."

"..." Moku says which is not helpful.

"BETTY! used to live in the outskirts but now BETTY! is a Helper!"

"Well, we do eat stuff but don't think they've ever served pizza." Shajo adds. "Lots of meat buns and sandwiches, stuff from the vending machine."

Shajo's still holding onto that axe with one hand but he seems pretty relaxed! Though, to be fair, he seemed relaxed up until he axed a car. This is a man, Touta might realize, who is very comfortable with violence and quick to move to it.

"This is pretty good," He says, of pizza. "Bit too much cheese."
Touta Konoe     "Headstrike team...Those are the ones that work under those Heads that are like the big honchos for those Wings, right? I was looking into that a little after the last time I was near you guys. Though, didn't get much time to check out the city." He seems to be following along with Shajo and Nonon as they explain the situation of the escaped Abnormalities, the potential consequences, and those words of advice.

     "Magical Girls, huh...?" Suddenly the mention of that phrase starts to leave a bitter expression on Touta's lips even as he finishes that next slice of pizza. There's a slow sip to his drink as he picks it up again, "Yeah, I guess regardless of what Multiverse they're from Magical Girls will really catch you off guard if you're not careful..."

    He could attempt to ask more on the topic, but even now he feels like his eyes were glazing over for an instant till Betty!'s remark brings his attention to her and Moku! only again to drift as Nonon adds to the conversation of their standing in all this. "A...That's not Angela, right? Not the manager either if I'm remembering right...So then does that make both of them assets as well?"

    The more questionable thought does again get pulled away as Betty! starts pushing the pizza to her face. To which, Touta again offers her another napkin. "Still, I mean, even if you're assets, I still think you'd technically be considered Elites too. Maybe not as named members of a faction, but if you had to be part of a faction to be considered an Elite, not sure what exactly I should be calling myself either."

    A part of him even wonders if they have ever considered that, though if they're not bringing it up he's not pushing the topic that far as of yet. At this point though, given where they had all been before...Even as 'Assets' maybe they still see themselves as better off from where they were before. Still, that thought alone does still leave a bitter taste in his mouth...

    "That so...Well, if you want, the next time I can make sure to bring you guys something a little lighter on the cheese, or maybe something a little different to try back at L Corp. If you guys and Angela were alright with it?"
Angela "Head Strike Team," Shajo clarifies. "Like, a strike team from The Head." He shakes his head. "Nah, there's only one 'Head', though sure there's like... 'heads' of Wings sure, but they aren't The Head. THEY come and go. The Head? Nobody knows jack all about them. Least not at our paygrade." He glancs over to Touta and gives him a longer look, a look that suggests this is the first time he's REALLY looking at Touta. He pushes up his glass and says, "Ah, you've had a bad experience with 'em or something?" He might not be the most empathic person around but that doesn't mean he can't see what's put out in front of him.

That's what the glasses are for.

''A... That's not Angela, right?''

Nonon bursts out laughing.

"Hey hey hey... Angela's fine don't--" Shajo says.

"Nah, nah, it's not really..." Nonon says. "It's just funny because there's no way someone like Angela could be the head of a Wing. Or L Corp even. Or anything. Not in our world." Nonon says. "Is it fair? Heck if I know, but in our world AI like her is outlawed. That's probably one of the reasons she can't leave the facility, you dig me?"

"May be other reasons," Shajo adds. "But they definitely don't want her going into the City. Could kill us all if other Cityfolk learn about her."

"A is the real leader of L-Corp. Short for Ayin." Shajo explains. "He's... in a situation. But he's the boss. Angela comes across as the boss a lot because she's usually the forward-facing person running things. But she gets her orders from Ayin."

"Hell yeah I'm an Elite." Nonon adds. "But 'Elite' seems like a bit of a loaded term eh?"

"BETTY! is Elite at Helping!"

"..." Moku says, using the conversation as distraction to steal another slice.

''If you guys and Angela were alright with it?''

"Heh...Isn't that proof we're not Elite, if we gotta get the droid's permission?" Shajo quips. "But I figure if you want to drop by you can schedule a visit like everyone else. Doubt they'd say no at this point, seeing as you lent a hand to us before." Shajo frowns. "...And uh. Got your head...bitten off."

The Agents quiet down a bit at that.
Touta Konoe     Touta starts nodding along as the clarification is made. "Right, head for the head of The City, and then the Wings are their own thing. Thanks for that." It's from there that he can hear the follow-up question and with it the gaze that Shajo puts on him that has Touta's eyes drift from his meal, to lock with him. Ultimately, the combination of his look and question finds Touta putting down his next slice.

    "It's a long story. Though I'm sure if you've got rumors in L Corp from Angela or Petra, the best way to describe it is that a magical girl is kinda the indirect reason that Petra hates me. Or at least, the original reason. I think she's been coming up with more since we've met."

    The remark alone finds him reaching for his cola as he drinks away the distasteful words from his pallet. It's as he sips does he bring up that question about Angela and receive quite the response from Nonon. It has him blink for a few moments as he tries to decipher what was said that was so hysterical. Though it's as Shajo says that he feels the need to ask a rather...Reasonable question. "Hey Shago, are you sure it's okay to be tellin--"

    Before he can even finish he finds Nonon's rowdy voice pop in regarding talks of Elite and with it well, he just finds himself smirking along.

    "Hehe, guess it depends who you ask. Most Elites don't think much of it, but the Common Wealth. Well, a lot of them really put their faith in them. Though, if you're the one thinking it's more a loaded term, you're at least on that Elite mindset." At that point he finds himself taking another bite of his pizza rather contently, or at least he was before Moku sneaks the slice before his hand gets to it. So he'll just grab one of the pineapple pizza instead, taking another moment to chew over his words as Shajo makes his quip. "Hey, hey, maybe the others will see it differently. But the way I see it, even if she's not physically there Angela's made a name enough for herself to be treated an Elite too. Nothing strange with Elites getting told what to do from other Elites. If anything, I'm probably more a weirdo in that my boss back home technically wouldn't be considered an Elite since she doesn't mess with anything in the Multiverse."

    The remark is just meant to reassure them if possible, to maybe give some sort of semblance that they're higher than maybe they give themselves credit for. At which point Touta's picking up one of the two-liter bottles and starting to pour refills for those who needed it.

    "But I figure if you want to drop by you can schedule a visit like everyone else. Doubt they'd say no at this point, seeing as you lent a hand to us before." Shajo frowns. "...And uh. Got your head...bitten off."

    Touta stops pouring, with only the sound of the carbonation of the poured drinks and the sounds of the cars rolling by the street picking up. Touta's gaze like before shifts to Shajo alone, seeing that expression on his face. "Yeah...That did happen didn't it? I suppose I haven't really explained why that's the case to Angela so it wouldn't have trickled down to you guys. Though I imagine it's an even longer story to explain than the Magical Girl. But...Shajo...Did that upset you all to see...Or did it perhaps make you feel something else...?"

    It's now that he finds his eyes looking back at the group as he once again gauges the expressions that once again might come along from their silence.
Angela ''Are you sure it's okay to be tellin--''

"That's why you hit us up for this chat right? To get some details?" Shajo says. "Nobody's watching us right now, I can speak freely but..." He leans in to Touta and murmurs, "If I get pinned for this I'll know who spilled the beans. It won't be BETTY! Certainly won't be Moku. Nonon? Please."

He eases back. "Just be careful of who you blab to, not that I suspect the knowin' will change much. I mean, so long as you're willing to help us finish the job we'll get there eventually."

"Haha, well, unless they fuck it up and we all get killed." Nonon adds with a kind of relaxed attitude about it.

Touta helps explain the nature of 'Elite' to Shajo and he seems only more anxious about it as a result.

"Well in our world she's treated as illegal hardware. Keep that in mind and we might get more pizza dates." Shajo quips.

"......" Moku adds.

Touta asks if Shajo seeing his head get eaten 'upset' him.

Shajo gives Touta a strange look. "Well it's not like it's the first time, eh? But that doesn't make it pleasant."
Touta Konoe     "Mmm...So that how you guys see me?" It's the first few words that spill from his lips again as Shajo makes his assumptions about their conversation. In truth, he wouldn't have exactly said that this conversation was meant to acquire /those/ kinds of details. If anything, just indulging in a pleasant meal learning about the Agents along the table was enough for him. He can't imagine a scenario where he'd be needing such information, or hopefully wouldn't need such information. But...It was his now, and the responsibility that came with it.

    "I got it, I got it. I might have had my flubs with trying to word things on the radio, but I'm not loose when it comes to others' secrets. Still...This is more so Angela's secret, right? Probably would have been better if she told me instead?" The question comes with a rather inquisitive if not somewhat concerned look. It was one thing if he was holding his tongue from those that shouldn't know...But was he holding his tongue from the very person this secret was about as well? That he was aware of this information so privy to her existence?

    "...You know, I got a decent amount of respect for Angela .So...Not like I'd want her ousted either."

    He looks between Shajo and Nonon again, then to Betty! and Moku next. It was one thing to just have Shajo tell him directly and leave it as a secret not to leak to the city. Though...Was this something that even Angela would permit? "How do you all see Angela, anyway?"

    This probably leaves another moment of silence again. Tension likely rising. Though, he does try to smile once more by bringing in more 'pizza dates' come in.

    "I can do more than pizza ya know? Though next time, I'll be having anyone wanting their share to put in for it. So that's fine."

    And finally, he waits to hear that response to the feelings in them. "Maybe, but well...I've heard that Abnormalities are sorta the same. You can beat'em back as much as you want, but they don't exactly die...Can make someone think you might have been thinking to--"

    Another unpleasant crosses his mind, but he cuts it off. Looking at all of them once again. Looking at the way they enjoy the food, looking at the way they look at him, looking at the way they've responded to his words this night and with it well...He takes in a breath and exhales.

    "Sorry, sorry, I was overthinking things a little. Anyway, it looks like it's getting pretty late ya know. So, you guys want a pizza for the road? Or want to see if we can find an ice cream shop for dessert?" It's a question that he imagines might make things go back a little more upbeat. Though as he does ask, he'll let one more comment slide as well. Just soft enough for that if any of them actually were listening properly they'd hear it. "Also, during the next pizza time...Maybe I can help you guys out on the job like last time..."
Angela Shajo frowns. "/I/ don't see nothin', just figuring nobody goes to all this trouble just to roll and smooze with the help."

Nonon admits, "Except maybe Outsiders."

But Shajo does not seem so readily movrd. He does nod at Touta's agreement of being careful with the details he's picked up from him but in truth he isn't sure just how much even matters to this day."

"..." Moku bobs her head just once.

"Well," Shajo adds. "Some of this I just figure you oughta know for the sake of not steppin' in it." Shajo admits. He is a little less in a rush to say what he feels about Angela.

"Well, not that I am a Devotee of the big Corpo Top Dog or anything, but not too sure. Feel like she,xs always holding something back."

"She picked up some EGO Gear for 'erself. She looks and avts just like any human which is the problem even if it shouldn't be," Is Nonon's contribution to the matter.

Touta compares HIMSELF to thr Abnormalities. Shajo is relaxed enough to add, "I won't tattle if you don't." in a quick careless quip.

"Fuck yes. Ice cream." Nonon's eyes sparkle as BETTY! squeals in excited joy.

They all nod along to Touta's offer to help casually enough but seem content to leave the topic at that.
Touta Konoe     Doesn't say anything for a while. Listening to their thoughts, their reasonings, their opinions for his actions. All the while, he's taken the pizza boxes and just begun throwing them away. By the time he returns he's just nodding to Shajo's admittance. "Heh, probably got a foot deep in it now don't you think? Hopefully this is just one of those secrets you take to your gra--" He stops realizing what he's about to say, and then reminds himself what he is. Then there's a small chuckle to himself. "You all know what I mean."

    "Well, not that I am a Devotee of the big Corpo Top Dog or anything, but not too sure. Feel like she's always holding something back."

    "She picked up some EGO Gear for 'erself. She looks and acts just like any human which is the problem even if it shouldn't be."

    "I remember her once saying on the radio that even though AI from your world aren't supposed to, she's able to lie. Knowing that, when I told her I had trust her, she just told me that she hasn't had a reason to lie to me..."

     At this point he's thrown away all the trash, cleaned up all the used napkins, and even attempted to help clear Betty! of any lingering birds upon her person. "If she's got her secrets, and things to her worth lying for...Well, just sounds like any other person you would have had up the corporate ladder, right?"

    He imagines there's more to say on that matter as well, but like the remarks of comparing himself to an Abnormality, he's completely fine to just not say anymore on the matter. If anything...There's that chuckle again.

    "You guys are way too easy for food, you know that? Anyway I think I saw an ice cream shop on the other side of the road...Shago, no axes this time! And also..."

    As everyone would begin to get up, Touta starts pushing in their chairs. His eyes scanning from Betty!, to Moku, to Nonon, and then finally to Shago before lingering for a moment. He pulls out his phone and when he does he pulls out a picture of himself in wait that appears to be some sort of server outfit like one would see in a fancy restaurant or hotel. "Just to make sure we're all on the same page. No reason that the help wouldn't want to roll and smooze with more help."

    With that he'd walk them across for another dairy treat.
