She still wasn't certain what it was about Gipo that caught her curiosity, other than his insight and her gut feeling that he could be useful or entertaining in some way, but Okuni had still agreed to go out with him. After a quick look in the mirror to check on her makeup, she grabbed her purse and opened the door with a grin.

"Good evening. I hoped you celebrated the new year nicely."

He smiled at her as she opened the door realizing again how lovely she was with her raven hair and long lashes. "You look quite lovely this evening, an exotic flower in the dead of winter."

Her greeting turned his thoughts to the days following the New Year's Eve party where all sorts of things had happened. "After the excitement of the last night of the year the first day of this was actually quiet and relaxing. Since then I have...well let's just say some business has occupied my time for now; and how has your year started?"

He offered her his arm.

He had a very good way with words, she had to give him that much. Okuni smiled and pushed her hair behind her ear. "You look good as well. My year ended and started quietly, which for me is a bit strange. Nobody seemed to want my company at the parties I heard about and going alone isn't as much fun."

She rested a hand on his arm, curious to see what dinner would end up being.

They walked out into the mostly cloudy, low-50s evening and he wondered if she was warm enough with her bare shoulders. He had always admired a beautiful woman's body but he wondered that they would so often put up with discomfort to be so enticing. "Aren't you chilled like that?" He ran his index finger across the top of her shoulder and half way down her upper arm but just barely avoiding actually touching her.

There was a still moment as he waited to see how she would react before he went on to lessen the tension.

"The restaurant is a small place someone showed me the night I arrived here. Plain simple local food and a family atmosphere. Does that work for you or were you looking for something more exotic?" He pitched his voice to project a mysterious tone and wondered how she would react.
