Mio Hongo is in a bar. Or perhaps a restaurant. Or a mall, or a theatre, or--anywhere really, but the point is that she is not in her office for once. She's taking the night (or afternoon, or morning) off and doing something that would be construed as

Cassie is waiting in the Mall for Mio. She hasn't been in a while since she doesn't always have that much money to buy things and now she's at work most of the time. But it's nice to finally go again, besides it's shopping with Mio! So that makes it extra special. She's always cooped up in her office, which does worry Cassie a little - she seems to work way too much!

So yes, it is definitely nice to go violin shopping with her. Cassie might have a poke at keyboards and microphones and such for herself while she's at it too. When she's saved enough, she plans on buying recording equipment.

Mio gives Cassie a little wave as she comes up to where Cassie is waiting. It's been a while since Mio's been out to the mall too, although not because of lack of money--she actually makes quite a lot, by Wanderer standards, she's just too busy working to spend any of it.

"Hi Cassie! How've you been?"

[starryeyed_cass]

Cassie turns her head she catches the wave and grins, waving cheerily back. "Mio!" She greets her with a tight hug, "I'm good, thank you," she says with a smile.

As good as you can be in Chicago.

"Glad to see you out of the office. I take it you've been busy?" she says with an amused but sympathetic look.

"Always," she says with a sigh. "Sometimes it seems like for every project I'm able to complete, there are another two more waiting to take its place." She sighs. "A lot of it is clearing the backlog of stuff I had to postpone doing during the couple of months when everyone was away. But, slowly but surely the list is getting shorter, so we are making progress."

She smiles at Cassie. "But, this is supposed to be break for me, and I'm sure you don't want to hear me talk about my work anyway, so... What have you ben up to lately, Cassie? Anything exciting?"

Cassie has just returned from work when she finds Uchiko-chan in one of the halls. She stops, arms full of more pop-quizzes to mark and gazes up at the walls now covered in brightly coloured and very pretty little leaves. She's amused at the glitter everywhere and it's rather adorable.

It reminds her of when she was decorating for Christmas last year and reminds her how happy everything was.

"That's so lovely," she says with a smile.

[Ooc: Takes place before Josef's death, only thoughts on timing. Otherwise, it is generally sometime probably shortly after her entry. :).]

They agreed to meet for something non work related so while Sonny rarely ever leaves the Crowbar (he has gotten better about this), he is making an exception because his work is the Crowbar. It's more than the Crowbar because the Crowbar is more than it seems, but he knows that unless he's outside of it, it doesn't really count as taking a step away

[ Works for me! ...speaking of Josef, they're probably in one of the private rooms at Josef's club, since Mio and Sonny are both friends with him. ]

Mio grins. "It really is. I was beginning to think that you incapable of leaving the Crowbar," she says, not entirely joking.

Not that she was really any better about leaving her office, to be honest. Both of them were really bad about stepping away from their work, which was why they were making a point of taking a night out where no business talk would be allowed.

A waiter brings in there drinks.

"Thanks," Mio says, taking her iced tea.

"Well, now that our drinks are here, I suppose its time to start into the stupid teenager stories.

Mio takes a deep breath for dramatic effect. "So, as you have probably figured out by now (since It can be really fucking obvious from my mannerisms sometimes), I grew up in a wealthy family. And by wealthy, I mean filthy stinking rich. Of course, when you have that much money--especially if your family's had it for generations--there are

[Sounds about right! :)]"Sometimes I think I might be too," Sonny says with a smirk as he looks across at her, folding his arms across his chest. "How often is it that you leave the office anyway

Mio smirks right back. "You mean, for something not work-related? ...Far longer than I'd care to admit
