"I'll pay for you we just have to choose a café to go to." Yuri looked down at her as he spoke, "Also please do me a favor and don't over do it just because I'm paying." He knew what kind of girl she was and he defiantly saw over doing it if he didn't say anything.

— I'm paying this time. — Takumi smiled at the hungry girl and Yuri.
— It's up to you to show us the best coffee shop around, then.

Being from the stratum of society called "hyper elites" in the cyberpunk literature of 1980s visionaries, Takumi didn't really consider small expenditures like that. Getting spending money on that scale was trivial for any Arms Master, even in training. People with physical abilities usually rented out their skills or sold bits of their body for study. Takumi usually took on mediating and spokesman jobs for local businesses when his bank account needed a boost — he didn't consider calling on whatever access to zaibatsu resources he still possessed worthwhile, at least at this point.

Nishka frowned. She was an opportunist not a jerk. Though when people said things like that she was tempted to be. Of course she couldn't even began to fathom why someone would pay for someone else. Pointless really. Still she wasn't about to complain. "Don't worry about your precious wallets, I only buy what I can eat." Nishka got her feet and tapped her foot impatiently, "Well I've got no idea where anything is so one of you two money bags is going to have to lead the way."

Yuri glanced at the small girl and how she frowned, "I'm sorry I didn't meant to offend." He genuinely didn't but he understood how his words could have. "Well I know a few places. There's this really nice coffe shop on the north side of the academy, we could go there just follow me." As Yuri spoke he gestured for the three to follow him. "I wonder what I'll get maybe a nice Cioccolata Calda." He thought to himself as he lead the small group.

"You are Ms. Claire Leroux correct? I am Alexsis Shorbrooks and if I'm not mistaken you are my partner."

Claire whipped her head around at that mention of her name, facing her new partner. Her face lit up with joy and relief, her chestnut eyes sparkling with glee.

"Finally, I have found you!" she exclaimed, speeding towards Alexsis. She grabbed the girl's hands, a wide grin spread across her face.

"Indeed, I am Claire Leroux, sixteen-years-old and France-born! It is nice to meet you, Alexsis!"

Releasing Alexsis' hands, Claire put her hands on her hips. "So… I am actually not familiar with this place, so… any ideas on what we can do for the time being, Alexsis?"

Yuri lead the group to the coffee shop, the sweet aroma of honey and berries drifted from the small shop as they grew nearer. Yuri had only been to the shop a few times but they had some of the best food and drink he had ever tasted since he left Italy. The shop was decorated with red wall paper and a large mural of a palace sitting in the mountains. There were tables next to windows and a bar with stools. The staff was formally dressed and very quick to help any new customers. When Yuri and his small group grew nearer a cute petite girl wearing a black dress bowed to them and escorted them to one of the larger tables by the window. "What shall I get you to drink?" She asked in a soft voice her British accent stronger than most, She laid four menus on the table as she awaited a response.

Yuri smiled at the girl as he spoke, "I'd like a Cioccolata Calda, please" He was quite surprised they actually sold them here since he hadn't found a shop in the Philippines. The owner was a true master of the fine arts he hadn't seen him be unable to make any dish or drink.

Nishka looked over the small shop critically. It was alright. Kind of cute little thing, much like their waiter. Some sort of accent, Nishka didn't know or care where it was from. "Waters fine." She said to the girl curtly. She seemed like a total wimp. Probably curtsied, said please and thank you, and wouldn't stand up for herself if ordered to. Hopefully the food here was decent, just because it was free for her didn't mean Nishak was willing to accept slop.

Alexsis was taken a bit off guard when the girl rushed her and grabbed her hand but forced herself not to recoil when she felt the contact as a sign of good will. "It is a pleasure to meet you Claire" she said as she let go of her weapon and let it fade back into whatever dimension it had come from.

When Claire asked about what they could do Alexsis's stomach grumbled loudly, "Personally I could use something to eat, how about you?" she asked.

The girl seemed tolerable enough but she was a bit to enthusiastic for her taste.

She was drained, washed out of energy like the sound of his muted footsteps. Her calves shook with every step she took.

"Going a bit hard there, aren't you?"

Her train of thought was interrupted, losing her footing on the moving platform, her eyes widen in shock as she fell forward. Her torso fell on top of the treadmill, her hand reached out for the black string of the magnetic emergency break and her arms stretched. Successfully, the machine came to a full stop when her body hit the ground as her arms comfort her fall.

"Crap..." Catalina whispered under the irregular breathing, her teeth clenched as pain shot through her wrists from landing on it while her muscles spasms in protest from the intense workout. Giving up, she rolled onto her back for the second time for that day.

Catalina's gazed sightlessly over at the newcomer, her lips part to provided passage of oxygen to her lungs. She had not heard him enter until he spoke.

She was thankful that she still had ran a mile, still had her wits about her. If Catalina had shouted at him as she’d often seen some girls do for not minding his own business, she would lose her bit of dignity. There was nothing that she would like to share with him. He was a stranger, and her life, though simple, was full of secrets.

" It's either this or," She laughed, and then a tear escaped her eye, she roughly brushed it away.
