[Thread] Not Your Afternoon Tea [Aki, Kureno, Rin, Tsurude]

Jun 12, 2007 12:49

[[OOC: Following immediately after this thread.]]Kureno knew Rin had told him he needed to take it easy on his mind and body, mainly in giving them proper nutrition and rest. The nutrition part was easy, but not so much the resting. Taking more breaks during work hours was difficult, but so far Kureno felt he’d been doing a good job. He even ( Read more... )

"Forgive me for saying this," Rin sighed, as they were both kicked into a booth by their boss and former-roomate respectively. "But, believe it."

Rin looked around curiously, not exactly the bar-hopping sort, and took in the very bizzare decor. He got the weirdest feeling he'd been here before a long time ago, but he couldn't really put his finger on why.

"Zelkova... where do I know that name?" he murmurred to himself, propping his chin up in his hand and gazing absently at the ceiling.

"Zelkova, Zelkova," the Hokage sang. "It sounds like a pretty foreign girl's name. Having a fling we don't know about ( ... )

"Sure as hell am not," Rin retorted lowly, pulling his eyes down from the ceiling to give the Hokage a sharp look. But still, the name rang a bell. Zelkova. He'd remember, it would just take a little while.

With sudden and shocking speed, Tsurude's order appeared at the table along with a blushing waitress in, what Rin belatedly realized, was a pretty short skirt to be wearing this early in the day.

Why was he getting he feeling he wasn't remembering fast enough?

Kureno was beginning to get a funny feeling about the place as well. Not really from memory but there was just something he didn't like about the atmosphere.

...Couldn't complain about the alcohol though, as a rather good quality of sake was placed before them. An rather pricey quality of sake. Kureno didn't forget that he was with the legendary sucker Tsurude-sama, and turned to ask one of the important questions.

"Not to bring down 'the party' with a tone of practicality," he said carefully, "but how exactly are we paying the bill?"

Aki was just beaming.

Partly because Tsurude-sama had taken to his idea so strongly (never mind that Tsurude's reputation. Aki was just soaking in the idea that someone that someone had listened to him for once).

He eyed Kureno. "If you're going to grouch, then do it quietly. Besides, you can get food if you want. This place has it."

True, most of those were bar snacks but they had appetizers.

...One or two. Aki wasn't concerned with technicalities at the moment. He just wanted his liquids and grinned broadly when the waitress returned.

Tsurude added his glare to Aki's, eyeing Kureno unhappily. "I honestly don't understand the younger generation of jounin. In my day, we took a chance at being with our friends as a gift not a chore." The waitress poured the sake and for a moment, Tsurude was too concerned with the way her cleavage seemed to go on forever as she leaned forward to pour.

When she righted herself once more, he suddenly realized he could think again so he continued speaking. "But then we weren't enjoying the luxury of peace at the time and going soft."

The waitress held out the bill and Tsurude took it. "As for money, I'll cover this as a thanks to humoring an old man. I suppose it's the least I can do." He pulled a purse out of his pocket that looked much too feminine to be his own. He paid with enough coin to cover the bill and give her a nice tip. A working girl like her should get a break every so often.

At the suggestion of food, Kureno arched an eyebrow at his luxurious choices of beer nuts and pickled eggs. Clearly this was a place to get drunk, and judging from the waitresses outfit and build, also a place to "have a good time". He was feeling less comfortable with this place by the minute. (At least Hokage's presence was drawing attention away from him for once.)

And then he had to be hit with some "friends and peace" speech that made him want to roll his eyes and feel guilty at the same time. He strictly resisted the first which left him with feeling a little bad about worry over such a thing. ...Until Tsurude pulled the money out and Kureno founding himself doubting and wondering just whose purse that really was.

...Maybe the other man was right and he should just enjoy this "gift".

"Thank you, Hokage-sama," he said humbly and accepted his cup.

medical_miracle June 13 2007, 18:50:44 UTC

Absent-mindedly humming assent, Rin took his cup and sipped. Two in the afternoon was normally way too early to be drinking anything, but hell, he was working night shifts and all manner of thing right now - he was sort of exempt from the 'normal hours' rule.

Leaning back in the booth, he looked over at the other three men and smiled brightly. "Ah, life is good," he sighed cheerfully. "Thanks, Tsurude-sama I..."

And then it was as if a light went off over Rin's head (in actual fact, the dimly shaded bulb flickered just a little) and he snapped his fingers triumphantly. "I got it! Zelkova! I have been here before. Working, upstairs there was a ( ... )
