Nakidori Sensaina x Hawks
Part 12
"I say we dismiss this meeting for the rest of the day." Endeavor spoke, looking around the large gathering of top pro-heroes. "We'll reconvene tomorrow around nine in the morning."
With that, the meeting was dismissed and Nakidori sighed. This mandatory hero meeting was such a drag. Ever since the new ranking had been announced Endeavor was placed in charge of these meetings.
In the past with All Might, it'd be a friendly talk among peers over new techniques, possible issues, and anything that didn't sit well with the heroes. But with Todoroki Enji, it looked like his handling of these meetings was much more strict. A long four-hour meeting, and mostly with statistics, recounts, and logistics. He didn't even buy any food to munch on, nor offer anything to drink. Even if you had brought food or drinks, the new top hero wouldn't allow you to bring them in.
He may be a good hero... but Endeavor truly wasn't a good or charismatic leader. No wonder faith in heroes was dropping a little bit, because this man didn't know quite yet how to bring a sense of peace to his allies, let alone the public.
But now it was over with until tomorrow. And by tomorrow, this weekend's meeting would be done. The mandatory two-day meeting for agency heads and top pros was boring, but at least she could spend it in this nice hotel. If Endeavor was anything, he at least wasn't cheap.
Nakidori yawned, starting to gather her things, daydreaming about what she wanted to do for the rest of the day. It had gotten late, seeing as it was past eight in the evening. Her day had started with an open welcome banquet around noon and then dove straight into meetings from around two in the afternoon until now.
Her stomach growled, so she'd for sure need to get something to eat. Nd lucky her, this place had a nice bar and restaurant. So, she'd head there right now. Gathering the last of her things and dodging anyone who was looking to make small talk, Nakidori was soon in the elevator and entering the lobby.
The smell of food made her almost lick her lips, but she composed herself. She had colleagues here, she had to act professionally. Soon she had a seat in the restaurant and was sipping a cocktail, enjoying this feeling of not having to listen to anyone else rambling for a while and just enjoy herself.
"Is this seat taken?" Someone asked, pulling out the chair across from her at her little two-person table.
Nakidori's lips curved into a smile as she recognized the male and his red feathers. She shook her head slowly, motioning for him to get comfortable. Hawks did so, smiling gently towards the female.
"As bored as I am?" He sighed, picking up the menu and taking a look at it.
"I'm too young to be stuck in boring business meetings..." Nakidori let out a frustrated breath. "But then again... the life of a hero isn't always so glamorous, huh?"
Hawks cracked a smile, motioning for the waiter to come over. Nakidori was also ready to place her dinner order. The waiter asked what it was both would like and both heroes replied. It was clear from the smile on the waiter's face how ecstatic he was to be serving two well know pro-heroes tonight.
"I'll do the chicken parmesan." Hawks spoke, the waiter nodding.
"I'll do the hot soba. Mild dipping sauce." Nakidori responded.
The waiter hurried off to get the meals started and the pair were left to talk among themselves once more. Hawks seemed to have been here and ordered himself a beer before noticing Nakidori and joining her. He idly sipped his drink, and then looked towards her.
