"Chinese" wasn't exactly something they had going on on Auldrant, and so naturally under normal circumstances, he probably would have avoided the place entirely. Unfortunately, these were not normal circumstances for Asch. It was his first afternoon off since the DG virus had abruptly ended, an Liquid decided to treat him to that promised meal.

Of course, "treat him" meant dragging him here and then leaving him confused by all the food at the buffet... not to mention with the bill.

Stupid paranoid soldiers. He'd never say it enough.

And so, that was what led to Asch the Bloody grumbling and poking around a Chinese buffet table in the afternoon, throwing anything on his plate that looked remotely edible and not really watching where he was going.

"Hey." An arm reaches out before that last deep-fried crab ragoon is scooped off the hot tray, and there's a silver-haired boy stilling the tongs in place. "Buddy. Why don't you leave some for the girls?"

(... never mind that 'the girls', AKA: Maya Fey, the happy medium on his right is pretty much demolishing the fried rice, and will be back for more rounds.)

"Hn...?"

Asch snapped out of his irritation to look up at the white haired boy, before glancing down at his... rather stuffed plate. Oops. He let out muttered, "Sorry," trying to save what little dignity he still had at the moment...

...well, until he saw Maya stuffing her face.

"...don't you mean she should be saving some for the rest of us?" he muttered, making a face.

Maya heard that comment, but it had been a while since she'd last seen Asch, so she decided to let it go for now. This time. Maybe.

"I'm just keeping up my strength in case bad guys attack!" She said through a mouthful (Actually, this was probably the first time in the past few days or so she'd actually felt like eating, so she took the opportunity (plus, this stuff was good)

After another swallow, she waved at Asch. "Hey, it's a been a while."

"Yeah." He smirked, mostly humoring her with a chuckle that made his shoulders bounce. Elbowing the grumbling stranger in the ribs, he winked. " 'In case bad guys attack' "

C'mon, lighten up. Isn't she pretty cute? Aren't you jealous?

But then Maya waved, and he did a curious double-take.

"You and him know each other?"

"She helped me out when I first arrived," Asch explained. He didn't comment on the 'bad guys' remark, not entirely sure what kind of 'bad guys' someone like Maya could confront. She didn't exactly look like the kind of person that would attack others, and the mental image of her trying to do so brought a smirk to his face.

"It has been awhile, Maya," he said, turning his focus to her, his smirk broadening. "It's been quiet without you around."

Joe backing her up just heartened her, but it really was a nice surprise to see him here. "That's right!" She wasn't quite sure what to make of the smirk, but he seemed happy to see her, so that was always a plus.

"It has been, huh? That's why we need to hang out more, duh."

"Maybe you should be a greeter, Maya!" he suggested "Like Himawari- if you like helping the new people."

He reached over for another set of tongs, but stopped when he looked up across the buffet and saw the lady at the hostess stand looking like she'd just caught sight of something horrible outside in the parking lot.

Joe followed her gaze. A pair of large, walking garbage bins? Weird.

Asch didn't notice. In fact, since Liquid ditched him, he'll be pulling a seat up at your table. Don't mind him.

"I'm always at the police station, you know," Asch replied blandly, setting his plate down. "Any time you visit, you're too busy bouncing off the walls to notice."

Now then... what were these wooden sticks for? Where was the fork?

Maya puzzled briefly over the Greeter idea. "Hmm, maybe... It could be fun. I'm practically part of the welcome wagon anyway!" Making time for it was another thing. (And then the dangers...)

Asch pulling up a seat didn't draw any objections from her, but on the other hand... "I don't bounce off the walls!" was the immediate indignant response, followed by an eye-roll. "You're probably too busy cleaning the toilets or somethi-"

But as Joe's eyes followed the hostesses's, so did Maya's, and she paused mid-sentence to stare off into the distance. "Woah, what's that?"

"Dunno." Joe frowned, setting down a set of tongs to wander around the buffet bar, leaning to get a better luck.

Sure enough, a cluster of-

"Did someone enchant some garbage cans by accident, maybe? It looks like?" Because that would be typical, for Siren's Port.

Asch glared at Maya for the insinuation that he was a janitor, mouth open and ready to give her an epic bitch fest. The distraction saved her from it however, and Asch followed her gaze, frowning.

"I wouldn't be surprised," he muttered at Joe's question, quickly getting up from the table and heading over to the check in rack to get his sword. The hostess could bitch at him for bringing the weapon into the establishment proper all she wanted, but if those things decided to come into the place, he was not going to be unarmed.

Maya just flashed Asch an innocent smile at the glare, but as he jumped to his feet, she did too. It wasn't like she had a weapon herself or anything, but...

"Maybe as a prank?" she briefly thought of Sirius (enchanting garbage bins seemed like something she'd do), "They'd better not try to eat people or something."

Well, if Asch was going to go for his sword, Joe was going to pull out his own blade too, moving in front of Maya.

"Maybe we can toss them some take out, and they'll buzz off?"

There was a crash at the front glass doors.

"Then again, maybe not!"

Why can nothing in his life ever go well? He can't even eat in peace! Asch glanced down at Joe as he pulled his sword, a bit of a smirk coming to his face; well, maybe this wouldn't be too difficult.

"Maya, stay back!" he barked, advancing toward the front door slowly.

The way Joe moved in front of her instantly made her pause for a second, uncertain (she should really be used to that by now), but Asch's sharp tone brought her back to reality. "H-Hey, I want to help too!"

Not that she had any weapons or anything (Well, she did have pepper spray, but that wouldn't work against... whatever this was), but still.

She wasn't about to rush in blindly or anything, though, so she looked around for any potential weapons. Let them start off the fight - she'd finish it!
