It hadn't taken Kagetsuya long to figure out how to get to the cafe. Though he had barely been on the ship for more than a day, he was a fast learner. After he had reunited with Chihaya and ensured that he was safe, Kagetsuya had immediately set himself to the task of figuring out where places were. For now he had the route to the food store, and had just been there, if the bag in his arms was any indication.

Standing outside of Class Act, Kagetsuya spotted a pretty-looking person whom he could only presume was the owner. At first glance they appeared to be a woman, but Kagetsuya came from a planet where the men could be just as lovely as the girls. It was less common among the Earthian, from his experience, but not exactly impossible.

"Hello, I'm Kagetsuya," he said. "Are you the one I spoke with earlier?"

Seeing the man approaching, Maraich extended his hand.

"That would be me, and this is my cafe," he gestured behind himself. It was a small cafe but he had carefully put it together to suit the name. Flowers, fancy tables, and some large windows that let the light from outside brighten up the room.

"The kitchen is in the back," he headed inside, "I'll show you. Most of our available ingredients are for the pasta dishes, though."

Kagetsuya took the hand offered, smiling as he did so. Good first impressions go a long way, he knew, and in a foreign place like this, establishing himself in a stable, steady job to support himself (and Chihaya too whether he wanted it or not) was key. "Pleasure to meet you."

Following him inside, Kagetsuya looked around the place and liked what he saw. It reminded him of some of the cafes he'd seen in Europe, but even more than that, it brought him back to evenings spent drinking tea with Lady Gabriel in her garden. He hadn't realized it until that moment, but he longed to see Eden again.

"I stopped by the grocery earlier to pick up the ingredients for the dish I have planned, if that's all right," he said, indicating the bag he carried, as he was led toward the kitchen.

Maraich nodded, "That's perfect. Our kitchen isn't very big, but it should have everything you need."

He lead him to the back where, indeed, the kitchen was small to medium. Despite the messes Feliciano tended to make while he worked, Maraich had it all cleaned up. He gestured towards the counter, "Go ahead and use whatever you need. The chef I have here right now is Feliciano... He's extremely messy and a bit ditzy, but he's a good cook and easy to get along with."

That and Maraich was occasionally suspicious of his unhealthy love for pasta.
But that could wait for another day.
