Yuu was flattered, much to her surprise. It didn't sound like an offer for a date, but more an invitation from someone of liked mind. She welcomed the changed. 'Definitely, I think that would be lovely. There is quite a bit of Nachton that I would love to see. In fact,' Yuu had been told about a social function that the Mayor was planning. A charity dinner and having a handsome stranger on her arm would do well with her reputation.
'I've been invited to a charity dinner at the Mayor's mansion. Dignitaries from the city and a few from out of country will be there. If social snobbery isn't your bag, well come for the food and company?' She gave him a small grin, hoping he'd accept.
Jet Lag
[FONT=Arial][FONT=Verdana]Tai stood in the lobby of the Grand Piazza, suitcase in hand, carryall slung over one broad shoulder. A bellhop had offered to take his bags but he'd declined. He hadn't even checked in yet.[/FONT][/FONT]
[FONT=Arial][FONT=Verdana]He'd barely arrived in Nachton. Customs had taken forever. Fortunately he'd been able to catch a cab quickly; the cabbies had been lined up outside the airport like vultures at a kill. [/FONT][/FONT]
[FONT=Arial][FONT=Verdana]Now, finally at the Piazza, Tai wanted nothing more than a hot meal, a good drink, a shower, and a bed. Time enough tomorrow to get down to business and start some real research.[/FONT][/FONT]
[FONT=Arial][FONT=Verdana]He was torn between going directly into the restaurant on the ground floor here, or checking in. Checking into his room won out, so he approached the counter and gave his name to the concierge. His superiors had booked the room for him, so he didn't know what to expect, but from the looks of the place there was probably no such thing as a shabby room. [/FONT][/FONT]
[FONT=Arial][FONT=Verdana]Glancing down at the number on the room card, he surveyed the lobby once more to get his bearings.[/FONT][/FONT]

Both sides of Tai were glad for Yuu's acceptance... and her offer. Very rarely did he feel anything but detachment for the world around him, and this was turning out to be one of those times. His colder, more mercenary side caught the phrase 'out of country' and latched onto it; perhaps he could take this opportunity to observe this CEO his contractors were so eager to be rid of, if the man were in attendance.
But what he thought of as his human side was looking forward to Yuu's company and her outlook. Her confidence was appealing, because she had a keen mind and wasn't afraid to employ it. Her somewhat acerbic wit suited his own personality, and he found the prospect of employing both of those tools against whoever they might meet at such a place.
"Sounds like a deal." Tai's eyes rarely reflected his smile, but in this case the sentiment was genuine. "I look forward to dragging you through some very stuffy old buildings, and in return you may drag me through a crowd of very stuffy old politicians. An even exchange! Although, at least my buildings won't spout political nonsense at you."
Tai sat back as the waiter arrived with their entrees. He was feeling quite satisfied with his arrival in Nachton so far. There was just that small matter of an assassination to deal with, and that would be that.

She raised her glass again and laughed, 'Well, they can spout all they want, but that doesn't mean we have to listen!' With a healthy gulp of her scotch, the waiter brought their food and she heartly dug in.
Yuu looked foward to spending time with the cryptic Mr. Ichiro. He would be an interesting ally against the stuffiness that her trade is well known for. All she needed now was a good murder to open up with. How lucky would she be if someone reputable died. Eh, she thought. That's just wishful hoping.
((OOC - The camera pulls back and fades on our young, ambitious friends - Yuu out))

Following Yuu's lead, Tai raised his glass and drained it. He could get to like this city.
