But this invitation, it had looked legit and he had even sent her a limousine, trying to sweeten the deal.

There was a live band, honestly, it was a little corny but she was a /princess/ as she liked to say. It was time to treat her like one.

It was set up in a celestial theme, twinkling stars everywhere, in the middle a table set for two. He was there in a suit. It had to work.

📲 Not getting rid of me that easy.

Been working out a bit more?

I know.

You also don't have to say please.

"Would I do that? Come on now, you know me... I wouldn't be that mean. You know I follow through." A smirk on his lips. "And maybe I'll take a drag of your cig, later."

"Ya want some SOLDIER, come get it." Raking one more drag, he blew the smoke towards the approaching man as he held out the cigarette.

"Let's just say that not everyone has good upbringings." A shrug, as if it was something normal. "I guess I just got good at hiding from my problems. It's why I joined ShinRa, after all."

Not entirely the truth, but people get awkward after the truth. It's better to just pretend.

"What is it you actually like to do when you're not being a SOLDIER boy?"

"Call me cautious, but you look like someone that would either give me a fake name or needs the right... motivation, to tell me." She was pretty quick witted, this will be fun.

"Perhaps, guess we'll find out. But, I bet you won't always see me. I won hide and seek as a kid, most of the time."
