A quiet night out for once [Nejiko, Tentsuke]
Tentsuke settled the bill quickly and ninja-like, leaving Nejiko at the table (under the bullet proof story of having to use the bathroom) to avoid any potential argument over how to split the check. He wasn't trying to be overbearing but he had offered to take her out. And this was a bit of a celebration, now that he was pulling in a jounin's salary he had even more money that he had nothing to do with.
He also felt a wee bit guilty. Coming back from jounin exam had been rough, made even rougher by the fact that he was thrown a genin cell almost right away. The kids were all right, Sachiko was the one he worried about. He wasn't egostical enough to believe he was that far ahead of her skill wise so keeping things interesting was a challenge. He still needed to meet with the Hokage about taking a trip outside the village. Maybe a vintage bottle of sake would help his argument.
He wandered back to the table and smiled down at Nejiko, looking about as innocent as a five year old with his hand in the cookie jar. "Ready to go?" he asked.
