Sakura moved Yürei to sit in her lap, and she lay her chin on Yürei's shoulder. "This is nice dear."

/fade to cute

"Babe, you know not to tempt me." Maintaing eye contact she licks her own bowl in one smooth motion before popping it back on the table with a contented sigh "Did it match your expectations? I can roll you back to the embassy if you need." "Oh, but tempting you is so much fun." She extended an arm ...

"We've got eachother, and that means a whole lot. Almost as much as having dinner. So yes dear, you better get eating or I'm coming over there and your bowl is coming back with me." She grins happily before burying her face in her own bowl, which sounds disturbingly like construction equipment at w...

"They do remind us we're alive...and maybe that we can be a little stupid." Her smile is fragile for a moment but she nods, wrinkling her nose a little at the peck. "I-maybe, I dunno, maybe that's it? Maybe that's a good way to think about it." She leans into Sakura, although masterfully not lettin...

"Two years ago....kami, that's like another life, two whole other lives." shaking her head with an amused look "Scrambling just to get by, my BFF making sure we didn't freeze, not knowing the stuff about my family." She exhales slowly "Feels like a different me, a different us. But some changes are...

"Just means he has a worse taste in clothes." She stuck out a tongue at her. "Hai, it's...great. No bustle, no hustle, just you and some food." She glanced down at the food, her smile spreading. "Two years ago, this...I never would've thought about this. Never dared, I guess. I was just happy to mak...

"I know your fond of Fridge-san, but he's so cold, and blocks everything. I don't think he's the best roommate." She giggled, as she waited for the next course. "This is such a lovely surprise babe, you really outdid yourself, neh?" She sighed. "Hai! We retrieved the samples from the Desolation, fro...

"Showered by so much attention." Pretending to consider this "Probably thoos too tight pants, otherwise I think you're just out of luck Sakura-chaaaaan." With a last toss and swallow the bread is cleared and she retakes Sakura's hands, rubbing a finger up and down her palm. "This street cat is hono...

"Uh, yeah! Absolutely! Those are perfect. We can make a whole day of it. You know I'm a platinum member now so we could even go in after night for the nocturnal exhibits. I've been uh, more involved there lately. A good client loves her animals. I bet you love burrowing lynxes too." Glancing up as ...

Yūrei pauses with both her cheeks ballooning out from sheer bread and dip "mmmmhm!" Laborious swallowing "I mean, you do too babe. I like the more formal you. And I promise, more silly dates! Now that I have a little money we can do all the thing we've always wanted! Or, do them all again but not h...

"I think you sound like a cool mature samurai thinking ahead and doing some good along the way." Her eyes very soft. "And I'm so proud of you. The Firefly are so lucky to have you. And I'm pretty sure they've been good to you too." Pause "Like this entree is about to be good to me." And her hands s...

"Only because you bought out the best in me, mutual bestness. None of it would have happened without you watching my back." she squeezes Sakura back as the first course, a selection of broth and dips with freshly baked bread is bought out "It's just going to be a lot of work for a while. So I wante...

She motions to the pilot who nods and starts the boat off, the small craft gliding out onto the water and leaving the sounds of the city behind as Yūrei reaches out and takes Sakura's hands in her own. "Oh yes, a big time important businesswoman, one who can even pay for her girlfriend's dinner." S...

Yūrei kisses her back and reaches out for a hug before following her to the boat, signalling the pilot to make read as she ships opposite the other woman. "And you look wonderful. As for the occasion? Well I've got this exciting business plan that's going to change anything...but I also wanted to t...

"Hey babe!" Yūrei waves enthusiastically "I got a boat! Well, renting one for a little while anyway. You don't get seasick, right? Either way this is going to be romantic, just the two of us with the city bobbing up and down in the distance. Oh, and a bunch of food too." Sakura smiled as she leaned...

Sakura arrived at the location requested by her GIRLFRIEND. She was wearing the same dress as to the party (presumebly laundered by now), but her makeup was subtle...ish. Cherry pink rather than gold this time. She wasn't sure what to expect, but was still quite giddy. Seeing Yurei in the distance, ...

Sakura smirked, and was thinking of slinking back to Kiyoshi.

She did have Mariko's number after all, to perhaps discuss the things she gathered from the lovely staff.

Besides, best not to bother an artisan at work.

She exited the room for now.

Sakura let out a whoop at Yurei's dancing.

"Go babe! She smiled at Rei and Reki dancing, and took a sneaky (blurry) picture with her communicator.

Holding Yurei's drink as well as her own...she took another sip from both.
