First date? [Vava/Lagi/Unity corp training]

Lagi walked into a restaurant and sat straight to the back and  offered Vava the seat across from him. “Ok, let’s check the menu here. “ Lagi would say as he lifted the menu up and casually eyes the place. “Well, Vava, be sure to order your fill. This isn’t the  usual that you would be treated by the king himself. What exactly do the Immuchak eat anyway? A fish strictly diet? It’s like all Fanalis ever eat is meat, so  I kind of wonder  what they …well.. you know..” Lagi was striking a conversation and the place appeared busy, so even though there have been eyes on him, they knew the king was a socialist at heart. However, Lagi had other reasons of being here in the first place “I do have a guessing game to play with you, but only till after you eat, ok?” Lagi would then use his increased hearing to listen in very specifically on all of the conversations going on In the inn like restaurant.   There was a specific one about ten meters away from where they were currently
“Hmph, so you got the shipment?”The rugged man nodded his head, showing that he had a few missing teeth. “Yea, I rounded up quite a bit of the “Merchandise…. We should be pulling out soon. Right now, we are waiting for just one more contact. I’m surprised that we haven’t had any opposition as of yet, I knew going by sea was the right choice.

Vavantine had been led to a restaurant by King Lagi. Around her were unfamiliar smells, people, and furniture. All she had eaten was the gruel of the inn, a shabby and worn place that was all she could afford. But this? Wow. Even while Vavantine’s blue eyes looked at the menu through her mask, she was stunned by the variety of dishes. There was more than what she was accustomed to since back home, they ate fish, wolf, bear, and other things (though fish seemed to be the norm given that they were a fishing nation).

The young Imuchakk mulled over the choices that were in front of her before finally choosing a salad, water, and a main dish. Then, she was able to answer Lagi’s questions. “We ate whatever we caught or killed. Of course, our diet did have an abundance of fish and other meats, I will not discriminate against food from other countries. I have always wanted to try new experiences and see new sights so I can’t cling to the customs of my country.”

“A guessing game?”

"Mhm....." Lagi would say as he clapped and called a waitress over as he continued sustaining his increased hearing. Lagi seemed to be focused on something, but he didn't say much of anything for the time being while he continued working on the case. Soon after, the waitress brought back an entire table full of food. "Please enjoy!" Lagi would say with a smile and gestured towards the food. "I didn't necessarily know what you would prefer, but please have your fill. All of the food is luxurious cuisines that mostly nobles get a chance tp enjoy on a daily basis. Consider it as a sorry for early, you forgive me?"



After a while, Lagi would sigh and adjust himself as he took a sip of the dumpling soup. "Looks like its happening now. Ok, about that guessing game. It's convenient that we came here for food, but as a member of the Unity Corps, it's important to be aware of your surroundings. Is there any group or anything here at all that stands out to you? Lagi took another sip of his soup and smiled at Vava. He was truly enjoying his company, and she also lasted as good cover for Lagi. The king and being with an exotic woman was only an excuse for people to second guess his purpose here. If he was only here to entertain Vava, who would expect Lagi to be onto them?

The Imuchakk frowned slightly at the mention as Lagi’s guessing game. She nibbled on her salad thoughtfully. Anyone who stood out? Everyone here did. There wasn’t really anyone who wouldn’t because she was unaware of the customs of other countries. “I’m sorry to say that almost everyone here does. I’m not sure what you want me to notice. Everyone here is having what seems to be a casual conversation and a meal.”

Through her mask, her light blue eyes scanned the area. Nothing was out of the ordinary per say. Was this another one of his silly tests for being part of the Unity Corps? It probably was given the circumstances. However, what more was Vavantine expecting? He was a king and a general. Any act of supposed kindness was merely a ruse to outsiders. Given how nobody took much notice to her interaction to the king, she suspected that he probably took a number of girls, both subordinates and probably others, to have a meal together. Was he some sort of ladies man? A player? “What are you wanting me to see?”

"Two guys, to the left of the bar. One of them has a tattoo that belongs to the black hand. They seemed to have been a bit low key with everything that has been going on, but a lot of hidden agendas were weaving their ugly heads here and there. " Lagi would then tap his ears. There is a shipment that's supposed to be going on tonight, but they didn't say what. " Maybe it was apparent that Lagi had some sort of ability that he was using in order to figure out how he could sense their conversation. But how? Maybe it was body manipulation? this is something that Vava had to ask later, but this was a learning curve overall. "Look at his arm, get used to the tattoo, I'm not too sure if you consider them out main nemesis, but new members seemed to be tagged in more than likely obvious places.

Lagi would then start to eat as well. "We will be here for a while, i'm figuring, after you finish..they should probably start moving.

“The Black Hand? And how are you able to hear from that distance?” Her eyes observed the tattoo on the man’s arm carefully. The design would be simple to memorize, but how many of them were there? “Are there many people like them outside of Imuchakk? I’ve never heard of this organization before. Are they that much of a threat?”

Vavantine thought about how troublesome such an organization could be to the peace she so desired. People like them had no right to torment others or control other people’s lives with their crimes. If they were really doing something shady, then she was glad that they would investigate, but why couldn’t they do anything now? The Imuchakk nibbled at her food.

“One would think that a common girl such as myself being with the King of Reim would call for curious eyes and side whispers,” she added nonchalantly, “I would assume that you normally take girls out for some meal and that perhaps, just a wild guess, that there have been multiple in the past with you?” Her statement wasn’t one that signified jealousy or curiosity, just a fact that she had observed. She didn’t hint at whether or not the unknown girls mentioned were of romantic relation or not since she would see for herself later on.

The Imuchakk took off her mask to look into Lagi’s eyes when he would speak. Her bright blue irises never strayed from the king’s face, but she also made sure that the conspiring pair mentioned earlier were discreetly within her peripheral view so they would not be alarmed.

Like I said before, if you want to learn body manipulation, I’ll teach you everything I know. One of the more important tricks involves singling out a specific body part and enhancing it to a certain degree. “Lagi would then flick his earlobe. your ears, or even enhancing your sense of smell with your nose, you get it?” This was a learning curve, and if Vava wasn’t guessing now, this was an intelligence assignment of getting some information. “They are definitely a force that has been causing me such trouble. If you never heard of them, it’s because only me and the unity corps ever heard of them to be begin with, they aren’t outwardly known, due to the fact that it makes them easier to operate with people not necessarily knowing who they are and what their objectives are. Another thing about the dark hand is that they use special potions to change their appearance at a moment’s glance. It’s a lot better than my little trick because its permeant. “
Lagi then saw Vava’s face for the first, staring quite a bit. “Oi, youre quite the cutie. I wonder why you like hiding your face all the time? Some sort of warrior’s code or something?” Vava was quite attractive indeed. “It’s happening tonight, we got all the information that we need. It's best to be highly skilled, there are multiple ways of doing your job, one of my favorite is doing your job while not looking like you are.

Body manipulation, the young girl thought. Maybe I should try it sometime. She finished her meal when she began to poke at it with her utensils. This fine food fit for nobles was filling indeed. Did they all eat like this three times a day? What did they ever do to the excess food? Toss it aside? She tilted her head as she thought until her cheeks burned red with embarrassment. “C-Cutie?!”

Vavantine hardly got such a compliment before mainly because she always wore her mask. She didn’t want people to like her because of her looks alone, but the flattering was still appreciated from time to time. Her hand placed her mask back over her face quickly and looked away, stammering, “Th-this is hardly the t-time for such p-praise, King Lagi.”

He had answered her question, but not in the way she expected. Was he saying she was right but that all those times were just for work, like now? She didn’t understand at all. Everything outside of Imuchakk made no sense. At home, they did their work and looked like they were doing work. there were no illusions as to what your task was.

Vavantine cleared her throat. “It’s just a personal preference of mine to wear this mask. I don’t want people liking me only because of my looks… Plus, it was a gift from my mother when she gave me my uniform for the family templar… I treasure it and don’t want to part with it….”

Her fingers lightly caressed the metal of her mask as she sighed. Those days were long gone now.

A present from your mom? This pretty nice, I don’t think I have anything that’s serves as a reminder of my mom, other than myself that is. “ Lagi would say with a small smirk, but his mind drifted away for a short time. “You should always treasure that mask then , it’ll give you strength in the long run. “ Though Lagi disregarded the notion that her looks are the only reason why people would pay attention to her. “Trust me, I felt your kick, you have along way to go, but you are simply brimming with potential. I’ll make you strong, mark my words, your looks have nothing to do with that. It makes covert missions more easy when you pose as a beautiful princess. “ Lagi then continued to eat.

“P-Pose as a b-beautiful p-princess? I can’t pass as that, sir. I lack the manners and training of one. I’d be found out instantly. B-besides, what use would that be? There’s be no way I could pose as a princess anyway.” She chewed on her lip as she felt her cheeks burn even hotter. “Unless I am misunderstanding…”

Vavantine wasn’t sure what to say now. “I need to earn some money to pay for the room at the inn I’m staying at… I hardly had a coin on me when I came and it was a miracle they let me stay for the amount of time that I have. Unfortunately their kindness is wearing thin; they’ll soon demand payment… I’ve heard that the Coliseum offers rewards and I’m sure I can some jobs to do. It’ll be a good way for me to get a layout of Reim and its customs I think. Am I right to assume that?”

She noticed the pair from earlier get up to leave. “Looks like our friends are leaving now. Shall we be off too?”
