I can't fault that logic. I'm just a pushy, nosy sort. Doubly so for people who I'm interested in.
How about lunch with no frills, then? I still want you to try this dish. I tastes a little funny with all the synthetic ingredients... But I think it's okay.
[ He makes no comment on her employer. Not yet, anyway. It's definitely worth clocking. ]
[ Power ratings... It's a topic that comes up more often in Kaito's home life than he'd care to admit. Much like politics, he tries to keep well away from it all. ]
And I wasn't planning on leaving base. Neo Tokyo's interesting, but I'm a little wiped after everything that's been going on... Cafeteria at... whenever? Before or after twelve, I don't care. I'd just prefer to dodge the lunch rush.
[ There he is, also in long sleeves loungewear... and a pair of leather gloves! He's drawing something in a notebook with an orange pen sporting a little kitty on the top end.

Chunks of white 'meat' sit mixed with some sprinklings of greens. A wide spoon sits next to the cup, alongside a small dish of crackers. ]

[ ...Why does he sound like a professor reading off his prompter? Kaito gestures to the cup with his pen. ]
Please, go ahead.
[ Fortunately, this isn't all poisoned. Or laced with laxatives. In fact, it's delicious—like the ingredients were freshly gathered this morning.
[ the last thing she wants is being mansplained to while eating. this guy is so weird...
but like most sinners, she can't say no to free food. so she takes a sip, her eyes momentarily lighting up. it's not the most amazing thing she's ever eaten so far, but it's good, and she takes a couple more spoonfuls before noticing kaito's intense staring. ]
