"Ooohh. Looks like [i]someone's[/i] had a bad day," Aiko mumbled with an eyebrow raised and her menu lowered ever-so-slightly. That had been kind of surprising, but not particularly offensive. It took a lot to seem offensive to Aiko. Aiko's eyes followed Shion as she sank into her seat, looking like a pouty kid and everything. How cheery. Something must've been bothering her, but even Aiko knew where to stop pressing. People stopped being interesting the moment they became seriously angry.

After a period of predictable awkward silence, Kenji put forward a different topic. Shrugging as she put down her menu with a flourish, Aiko put her foxy smile back on and decided to forget about Shion's last statement. "Hm, are you interested?" Her fingers tapped on the menu's plastic cover as she spoke. "Heehee. Well, okay, I'll tell you. I like to sing, play the violin; musical pursuits like that, mm?" She sat up with her back straight, hands poised on her lap like she was posing for a painting. "And of course, socializing has its own charm, doesn't it?"

"Oh, too bad. You mustn't be used to compliments then. Shame." Crisis Sonata sighed dramatically and shook her head, waving dismissal at her spears. They vanished into mist like the corpses of the Negatives scattered everywhere around them. Now that Crisis really looked at them, they looked quite disgusting, faceless piles of mush disappearing into nothing way too slowly. Crisis scoffed and turned away from them to look at Breaker instead. "Me?" She said with mock incredulity, placing a hand on her chest and giving out an expression of hurt. "I was only trying to help, Breaky!" Crisis picked the pet name that seemed to get the most reaction out of him, and told herself she'd use it more often.

Crisis Sonata nodded to Riot Lily next. "No, no, sweetie, it's no problem. There's nothing else to do in this godforsaken forest, so you don't have to pretend you owe us, or vice versa, mmkay? But yes, there's that. That entire fight was pretty draggingly boring in itself." Crisis punctuated with a fake yawn. "And I told you already, didn't I, Breaky? Any way is the way out, if you walk in a straight line." The Alter Ego crossed her arms and winked. "Probably."
