“How do you feel about having dinner at some expensive restaurant?”
“Your treat? Or shall I say, the share holders’ treat?”
Namie smiled with a hint of cruelty and tossed his long hair over a shoulder.
“The stock market is nothing but legalized swindling so I see no moral issue in applying that same logic on them.”
Izaya swung back and forth on the killer heels, hands laced behind her back for balance and effect.
“I hope you never end up hating me or you’ll take my home from me along with everything else I own. But that ‘I take no prisoners’ attitude is so sexy! Can I pick the place?”
“Fine by me.”
Izaya chose a fancy French restaurant which called for Namie to get a black suit and tie, much to Izaya’s joy. Namie did not look at expenses but he did lift an eyebrow at the escargots. Izaya giggled as he watched him pick a snail and soak it in sauce.
“I hate interior decorators.”
Izaya did not exactly see the point of ranting against them but she enjoyed it whenever Namie was in the mood for venting his many hatreds. Normally Namie was rather tight lipped and not eager to go into her opinions but just like Izaya was more willing to tell Namie many things in their present situation, Namie too found it much easier to unwind.
“Why? Do tell~”
“We had one of them redecorate the main branch. A frilly guy, went around the place like a headless chicken. In the end he presented a preposterous bill to purchase some abstruse furniture and for his ‘services’, whatever that was. And what did the board do? They financed the whole deal. Do you have any idea how many laboratories I could equip with that amount? It is ridiculous.”
Izaya propped his chin on his hand and planted an elbow on the table. She was close to sighing like a love sick girl.
“Ah, Namie. Such fancy vocabulary you use. ‘Abstruse’, heh.”
“A complete waste of money.”
“Wine?”
Namie sipped from a tall glass. Merely dipping his lips in the rich red liquid. Izaya found it very sensual. Much more so since Namie himself was clueless about it.
“Drink some too.”
“Are you trying to me drunk?”
Izaya smiled around her words. To her surprise Namie gave a curt nod.
“I am interested in the effects of alcohol in different genders. Females tend to be more susceptible to its effects. I would like to know if that also applies to you at the moment.”
Izaya pouted.
“That’s not very nice…you make it sound like this is just a science experience.”
“And that’s precisely what it is.”
“But Namie, science isn’t all that fun! Sure, it produces all sorts of useful things, I’ll admit that any day. But it’s not fun.”
“‘Fun’, as you put it, is highly overrated.”
“Hmm…what do you do on your free time? I’ve always wondered.”
“I catch up on breakthroughs in my field and read peer reviewed articles.”
“Namie, I said ‘free time’. As in, leisure. Not work related.”
Namie seemed to give this some thought. Izaya thought he looked absolutely scrumptious.
“I suppose there is that as well. Making sure that Seiji doesn’t stick his fingers into electric sockets.”
Izaya laughed.
“Oh come on, that can’t be fun!”
Namie nodded gravely.
“You’re right. It isn’t fun. At times I enjoy watching endurance games and the Darwin awards.”
Izaya nearly choked and after some spluttering, that unfortunately was not at all womanly, she gasped.
“Oh my god, me too! Do you vote for the Darwin awards?”
Namie’s smug smile was priceless.
“Vote? I submit stories.”
“That’s hardcore.”
“You’d be amazed the quantity of idiots one meets in the pharmaceutical profession. From idiots who plug their ears with suppositories to cure earaches to idiots who wonder how they got pregnant when they were using coca-cola as a contraceptive. It is very obvious that these people should not be allowed to live. And then they have to nerve to accuse us of ‘complicated’ instructions.”
Namie tossed his long air over a shoulder again.
“Heh, well humanity is comprised of everyone. We have smart people, normal people, stupid people, and Shizu-chan. They’re all part of mankind.”
“And let me guess you love them all?”
Namie sounded mildly curious. Izaya toyed with a straw.
“I wouldn’t go that far.”

"And then, of course, there's Izaya," Namie deadpans at the bookshelf. Then pauses. "Excuse me. Uzaya."

[s-sorry, anon could not resist.]
