Callista: *speaks loud enough for them to hear past her soup bowl* Get in line. I've got dibs.

[Abillioncats]

Natsuki's ears twitch as she overhears Callista mumbling in her soup. She blushes as Gina offers to attack anyone who pesters her. "Thanks, that's really sweet of you. Hopefully we wouldn't have to resort to punching anyone if we could help it."

[Whatevr89532]

"Eheh...sorry, it's just that ah.." Gina leans back in her chair a bit. "I got a little brother, see, and everyone's always pickin' on him. I'm used ta going for the nuclear option when I wanna protect someone 'cause for awhile that was the only thing that worked."

[Abillioncats]

"Awww...that really sweet of you, looking after your brother like that."

[Whatevr89532]

Gina blushes brightly at the compliment, her confident air evaporating for a moment. "Err..it's just, uh..n-nobody else would, y'know?" She leans forward again and sucks on her drink a bit in an effort to compose herself. "M-maybe we should order food soon, y-yeah?"

[Abillioncats]

"Oh right..." Natsuki looks down at menu again, there are so many kinds of sushi that she has no idea what to pick, so she just puts a checkmark on a random one.

[Whatevr89532]

Seeing this, Gina takes the sushi menu and looks it over. "Uh, just one a' these won't be much of a meal. You want me to just order some for you?"

[Abillioncats]

"Sure..." Natsuki blushed, apparently unable to order properly at this restaurant. But having Gina take care of it feels kind of nice for some reason.

[Whatevr89532]

"Okay.." Gina makes a few marks on the paper. "I'll just, uh, get a samplin' of the ones I've tried and liked, I guess.." She puts it down on the table, and then picks up her own menu. "Uh..yeah, teriyaki steak dinner for me." By the time she puts her menu down, the sushi menu has disappeared from the table, as well as Natsuki's regular menu. "What kinda music do you do? Like, poppy stuff or some rock or somethin'?"

[Abillioncats]

"Well I do sing some pop music...but I really favor rock over everything else. Pop music is way too mainstream to be honest, it's mostly synthesised anyway to make it sound sleek so it can sound catchy enough to sell before people realise it's actually not that great to begin with..."

[Whatevr89532]

"Haha, right on," Gina grins. "I listen to all kinds a' rock, mostly. I'm not too bad with a guitar..I mean, nothin' special, but I can play it."

[Abillioncats]

"Oh really? That's very interesting, I've been doing a solo career so far but the idea of starting a band has always been intriguing..."

[Whatevr89532]

"R-really?" Gina's blush returns with a vengeance, and she leans forward again. "I, uh, I dunno if I'm really good enough to go onstage with a star like you or anythin', but we could jam sometime if you want."

[Abillioncats]

"I'm sure you would do great, but if you just want to jam that's fine too. In fact sometimes I like jamming better than being on stage, no one cares what if I mess up."

[AmbushCat]

*Having had enough of soup-speaking, Callista drinks down her meal and goes about leaving, pausing to pay for what she ate. Before she goes, she stops next to where the two of them are sitting.*

For the record, I don't know whether I should like you or be jealous of you right now.

*With that said, Callista leaves the restaurant.*
