 (  get  his  digits!  )  [  'his  number?'  hise  bit  back  her  amusement,  she  was  far  from  the  type  to  do  such a  thing.  especially  not  while  at  work,  regardless  if  she'd   want  them  or  not.  it  was  not  to  say  she  wasn't  bold  enough  to  do  such  a  thing,  more  so  too  refined  as  to   /  throw  herself  /  towards  a  man,  for  something  trivial.  she  didn't  even  know  his  name  yet.  though  she  was  curious  to  know  anything  about  him,  his  name  would  be  enough  for  her.  she  wasnt   greedy.   ]   i'll  ask  for  his  name,   that's  all  though.

[   fawn  gaze  flickered  around  for  but  a   moment,  gaining  her  bearings  and  looking  at  the  notes  hung  up  for  the  cook.  the  kitchen was  fairly  in  order  although,  the  floor  seemed  a  tad  slippery.  a  hazard,  she  wouldn't  want  anyone  to  slip.  walking  over  to  the  man  in  charge  in  the  back   she  politely  pointed  it  out  to  him.  hearing  his  comment  about  her  'being  a  peach'  had  a  smile  fluttering  to  her  lips,  it  wasn't  that  big  of  a  deal  but  everyone  here  seemed  to  find  the  smallest  things  pointed  out  as  such  a  big  deal.  was  it  just  her?  the  blonde   couldn't  help  but  brighten  as  she made  her  way  back  out,  grabbing  the  table  from  earlier  check  and  heading  over  to  greet  the  lady  and  her  child  once  more.  clearing  up  a  few  tables  as  she  meandered  around  the  floor,  rumi couldn't  help  but  feel  today's  energy  was  a  bit  more  different.  perhaps..   it  was  the  stranger  who'd  caught  her  attention  and  slightly  paraded  her  mind.  though  she  wasn't  the  type  to  get  distracted,   collected  as  ever.  the. female  flickered  a  polite wave  of  her  hand  and  a  smile  to   the  two  who  now  left  as  she  handed  off  the  dirty  dishes  towards  the  kitchen  help.   hip  slightly  pressed  against  the  counter,  arms  crossing,   she  gazed  about  for  a  bit.  then  her  gaze  turned  curiously  to  her  colleague  who  seemed  just  as  eager  to  make  another  comment  or  conversation.   ] 

@V0IICE   ͙͘͡★                         [  with a slow lean he seated himself further into the cushion behind him,  an arm draping on the divider of the booth as he held his gaze.  it wasn't an innapriopiate one,  but rather nosy for sure.  not that th eman had any shame in his body.  a low hum left his throat as he saw the mug placed on the tray,  almost excited now for the treat coming to visit him   --   the coffee too.  bringing his arm back in front of him,  he crossed arms on the tabletop as the blondie left his drink on the table.  ]   thanks,  doll ..    [  the appreciative name tumbles off his lips before she seemed to have come to a halt,  eyebrow raising just slightly with interest towards her uttered words.  a smug expression tugs at his own lips and he's of no shock that she seemed to notice his eyes.  he noticed hers too but a small part of him was a gentleman not to comment on it.  well,  at least he thought himself to be until it turned out to be this little game.  a look of interest decorates his features and within a moment's notice she was up and away from his reach.   hot damn was that confidence sexy.  his smile graces even the rim of the mug as he held the glass to his lips,  taking even the smallest sip.  it was a pretty good brew.  ]   keep an ear for me,  babe.   [  with no effort to raise his voice or tone,  he makes the comment to no one in particular but himself.  maybe the morning wouldn't be so boring after all ...  perhaps he'd stay a while.  there were clearly a few hidden gems among the town.  for now,  it was the sipping of his coffee and watching the slow ticking of the clock that kept him company until he could catch glimpse of that sweet girl who had caught his eye.  no need to flag down another waitress,  fortunately he was a man of patience.   ]

@mmeitantei    ͙͘͡★       [  narrowed eyes hold a certain emotion as the stranger had a point.  whoever this person was knew what they were doing and wasn't trying to be the "good guy".   the magician stays in place,  not necessarily convinced by such an offer.  there was places to be,  people to see—  a chit chat wasn't really on the table.  ]   as much as i am one for show and granduer,  your jokes are falling rather flat.  a chat and snack?  [  it's almost amusing.  the idea is far off his agenda,  especially if he couldn't decipher whether they were friend or foe.  ]   curiousity may entice the cat but the fear of the unknown keeps it smart.  [  he bows,  an apologetic stance.  ]   —  not enticed.

i  never  stated  whether  it  was  a  colleague.   [   the  detective   commented,  hands  shifting  to  in  their  pockets.  a  thought  then  came  to  mind.  as  they  walked  a  ways  past  the  other.   ]   perhaps  i  can  get  you  to  release  said  person  over  a  chat.  on  me.  we  can  go  wherever  suits  your  fancy.    [   a  lopsided  grin  takes  over  his  regular  smiley  expression.  he  wasn't  as  sneaky  to  try  and  take   the  marble from  the  male,  nor  did  they  care   to  try  brute  force.   they  were  smart  enough  to  know  words  could  carry  plenty   of  weight.   ]   what  do  you  think,  fair  deal  right,   besides  couldn't  hurt  to  hear  me  out.  even  with  the  mask  i  can  see  your  curiosity.   

@mmeitantei    ͙͘͡★       [  a grin flashing on unknown features leaves an interesting taste on his own tongue.  who was this nosy-body to lurk about in his presence and whereabouts?  it was folks like this who irked him in this business and often made easy issues complicated.  ]    how unfortunate.  for you— that is.  modern justice really is a finicky thing.  [  shoulders shrug and he turns to properly face the intruder,  taking note of the mannerisms he can see.  ]   and if i work alone?  you seem awfully sure of yourself. 

& ,, i gotta figure out how i wanna reply to this...

& ,, i passed out goodnight BUT HIII i've missed them and your company <3 YOUR REPLY HAS ME KICKING MY FEET

&   ,,   yeah I fell asleep LMAO... when im fully up I swear I will this time I need it..

@cutesthimi    ͙͘͡★      i am here for reasons you are aware of,  toga.  [  the conversation topic is quick to be changed,  but expected nonetheless.  ]   im afraid not ..  he is rather busy these days.  we musnt get in the way.

   don't   apologize.   i  can't  exactly  know   what  you're  feeling  but...   i'm  sure  what  i've  said  is..  less  than  pleasant  for  you  to  hear.    [    her  tone  teetering  on  regret,  an  almost  silent  apology  but  she  held  true  to  her  words.  rumi  couldn't  help  but  feel  a  tad  bit  as  if  he  deserved  more  than  she  could  currently  give  him.    a  silent  question  coming  upon  her  being,  ]    you  think  of  me  that  much..?   [   rumi  felt  her  heart  race  slightly  more  than  it  had   been,  but  this  time  not  out  of  anxiousness  or  any  sort  of  worry.   to  say  she  was  flattered  was  beyond  an  understatement,  hise could  somewhat  align  her  own  feelings  with  what  he  said.  she'd  wonder  how  he  was  when  he  wasn't  around,  hoping  to  see  him again,  longing  even.   hoping  his  smile  was  just  as  bright  as  it  was  in  their  last  interaction.   but was  that  where  love  began?  or was  that  merely  just  deep  affection  that  being  with  another  could  bring.  perhaps  but  she  had  felt  this  with  no  other  man,  thought  of  them  all  not  at  all  after  just  one  interaction.  but  sako  forever  plagued  her  thoughts,  unlike  any  other.   ]     what  if  you  eventually  tire  of  me..     where  would  that  leave  me?   [   a  vulnerable  air  seemed  to  surround  her,   freely  speaking  what  she  thought.   perhaps  also  allowing  him  subtle  insight  into  where  this  fear  was  rooted.    ]    i  know  i  trust  you.  but  myself..   i'm   unsure.

@V0IICE    ͙͘͡★   [  he had to calm down.  the way he was speaking to her was beyond what he initially felt..  perhaps he just couldn't bear the weight of her thoughts.  atsuhiro breathes a sigh,  reeling in his mind to piece together what he wished to convey.  ]   im sorry ..  that was insensitive.  [  his tone,  his demeanor —  it wasn't what she needed right now.  eyes soften to her words,  the feeling that festered in his chest just.. heavy.  rumi was no burden.  her existence was his saving grace,  how could that make sense?  for how many years did words plague her mind in such a way?  who hurt her from the beginning?  or perhaps she was just scared ..  it mattered not.  ]    love means ..  i adore you.  not just looks but your humor.  your smile.  how you tease and grin ..  my chest beats wildly at the mere mention of your name.  I think about you when my brain has no task.  i wonder how you are,  what you're doing.  i long to be with you.  my hands feel lonely without you in my grasp and my poetic words have nothing to admire.  i would give the world for you.  when i cannot find the words to express how much i care for you .. i tell you i love you.  that's what it means to me.    

you're  right  in  a  way..   but  it's never  as  simple  as  i  feel  this  so   i  can  also  make  myself  stop.   [   hise  bites  her  lip,  trying  to  pin  together  her  thoughts  and  words  so  he'd  be  able  to  understand.  hoping  her  words  and  tone  didn't  come  off  as  too  offended  or  even  harsh,  how was  she  to  show  that  she  couldn't  just  make  this  go  away?    ]    i  have  never  said  i  regretted  you.  don't  take  my  words  the  wrong  way,  please.  [  her  heart  constricting  at  those  words,  had  what  she  said  really  contradicted,  her  previous  words,  for  him  to  think  that  way?   ]   i   just  want  you  to  live  without  such  a  burden..   [   rumi  wasn't  calling  herself  a  burden,  of  course  not,  but  she'd  not  explain  further  either.  her  words  were  to  come  across  as  she  spoke  them,  perhaps  it  was  the  way  her  mind  and  heart  were  racing  that  broke  most  logic  in  her  form  of  speaking.   ]    what  does  the  term  mean  to  you?     [   hise  asks,  perhaps  wanting  an  outside  perspective,  someone  who  was sure  of  what  they  felt.  and  how   they  knew  in  their  heart  it  was  love.  something  foreign  that  she'd  never  known  and  quite  possibly  feared  to  know.   her  voice  uttered  out  in  an  almost  unsure  whisper  but  her  heart  was  sure of her words,   you  could  tell  even  through  such  a  quieted  tone.   ]   you  already  have  it,  it's  been  yours.    
            
            
            
            &   ,,   she actually was facing him... BUT ITS FINE. not a big deal agsgddks  one factor doesn't change the heartbreak of the roleplay...

&   ,,   THE EYEBROW WIGGLE IM CEHGEKW STOP HEHE

☆  wiggles eyebrows ..  you'll see.  I didn't give up on this idea totally..

&   ,,   you know there's always what i said as a continuation...     he doesn't have to cry just you know, wake up in a cold sweat!!! hehe

    i  wouldn't  ask  you  to.   [    she  comments  briefly,  before  stopping as  he  finished  speaking.   he  was  such  an  intent  listener,   never  missing  a  word  she  said.   ]    as  i've  said  before,  i  wouldn't  dare  steal  such  a  thing  from  you.    [    for  his  words  were  always  utterly  moving,  special  and  held  a  deeper  meaning.    ]    i  hope  to  never  part  from  you..   [   hise's  earnest  words  say,  eyes  trailing  at  their  proximity.   mind  memorizing his  every  touch  and  affectionate  statement.   for  how  could  she  ever  wish  to  forget  what  he  says  to  her,  how  he  treats  and  cares  for  her.   ]   if  you're  always  with  me,  you'll  never  have  to  worry  about  another  man's  gaze  catching  my  own.    does  that  perhaps  make  me  the  greedy  one?  to  want  you  at  my  side  so  much.    [  her  body  almost  gravitating  towards  him  further,   fawn  eyes  gazing  over  him  as  they  always  did.  never  wishing  to look  away  and  making  no  motion to.   ]

@V0IICE    ͙͘͡★      [  perhaps that's something twisted in him.  he was typically kind and considerate ..  so why did it irk him so much to imagine her with another?  another's hand upon her flesh ..  what a painful thought.  the smallest part of him would be tempted to rip off the limb that dare soiled her beauty.  how violent.  eyea gaze upon their hands before bringing his attention back to her face,  watching her mouth move as she pronounced every word.  ]   no rating to suit me?  it sounds like someone else would rather assume the role of a poet between us ..  [  he teased beneath his breath,  subtle smile dancing upon his lips.  ]   hm,  no,  you haven't.  those words were purely from my own heart ..  I fear i can't share you.  i can't stand the thought of it.  but i needn't worry ..  your reassurance was more than what I could have asked for.  [  a spoiled one,  he was.  loving her,  cherishing her,  hearing her admit she wouldn't be with another ..  it made his heart giddy.  it made him happy.  ]  

never.  don't  even  bother  thinking  such  a  silly  thing.   [   her  light  brown  hues  flickered  over  their   connected  hands.  she  could   almost  still  feel  the  light  sensation  his  lips  seared  onto  her  skin.   ]   i  have  no  desire  to  be  with  anyone  else.    [   rumi  felt  her  chest  warming  with  the  honesty  from  such  a  statement.  though  she  knew  he'd  not  be  dishonest  with  her,  the  deep  truthful  feelings  that  could  come  out  in  his  words  always  left  her  feeling  more  than  satisfied.   ]    and  honestly..     there's  not  a  rating  that  could  suit  you.   and  i'm  above  something  so  childish,   [   she  shakes  her  head  almost  dismissively,  though  it  wasn't  a  jest  at  his  own  comment  from  before  of  her,   ]    did  i  perhaps  give  you  the  idea  that  i  would  allow  such  a  thing  to  occur  in  the  near  future?   [   she  inquired,  wondering  where  such  a  possessive  statement  came  from.  though  she  was  more  than  delighted  about  this  form  of...   could  it  even  been  called  greed  when  the  feeling  was  mutual  from  her  end  as  well?  though  she  felt  no  need  to  voice  such  a  thing  as  she'd  never  thought  to  question  him  becoming  disinterested  or  enamored  with  another.
