"Ah, I'm sorry. I'll try to go back to sleep next time instead of waking you up so early," she said, frowning a little as she retracted her hand. The waiter placed their food before them and so she turned her attention to her plate, as well as her hot chocolate, as he picked up her fork and knife and began to munch contently on her food.
"It is indeed very good," she commented after swallowing. She was quite for a few moments, taking several bites of food to help silence her growling stomach, but eventually looked apologetically towards Yoichi, "maybe sometime I can make you something to eat..." She softly suggested, her bright eyes watching him intently while she simply continued eating while waiting for a response.

He smiled at her "No no it's fine" He told her, Patting her head when she apologized for waking him "I'm just not used to waking up really early that's all" His smile continued as he continued eating. Hearing her say maybe she could cook for him he smiled "I think that'd be pretty nice" He told her earnestly.
"So, What do you want to know exactly?" He asked her, she said she wanted to get to know him better so...why not start now?

Riley smiled at him in return, giving a soft nod as she returned to eating her food, "well, when we get back home, just tell me some things you like and I'll see what I can do for you," she said, smiling broadly as she now took a sip of her hot chocolate, which she had to admit was rather tasty.
"Oh, well, a lot of things, actually," she chuckled a little, feeling a bit anxious that she knew so little about him, she was somehow craving to know a little more about him, "how about you tell me a little about your family?... If you have one..." She added in a mumbled, wondering if she was being insensitive, and perhaps he did not have a family at all. This caused her to frown a bit, but she waited for his response before allowing herself to feel too bad about the question she had asked.

"Well...They moved away, A long time ago... To a place where I cant get to them, Sadly" He told her, Not wanting to reveal that they were actually dead, Rather, Wanting to make it seem like they were alive, Just somewhere else that he couldn't get too "But when I was living with them they were really great, My mother and father were always smiling and cheerful, So I try to keep that persona with me" He said, putting on a mostly forced smile this time.

Riley's eyes narrowed the slightest bit as his response to her question was a rather... odd one. He was suggesting that they had moved far away, but the words he used and manner that he spoke in suggested they were dead (after all, her own family having been in the business of death, she had heard it referred to in many different ways.). As he announced that they were happy people, and forced a smile, she did the same, offering him a somewhat meek smile.
"Well, that's... Well, it's nice that they w-... are nice people. I guess you get that from them," she replied, stammering over her words a little, she decided to shove some food into her mouth to quiet herself before she managed to say anything too stupid.
When she had swallowed, she looked to him once more, pondering what question she wanted to ask. "Hmm, well. When you were a kid, what did you want to be when you grew up?" She wondered, tilting her head a bit.

He rubbed the back of his head "Ah well....I didn't really have any goal's or anything... You see, I was born into a rather rich family so I didn't really need to do anything" He muttered slightly, Glad she hadn't pressed the previous question any further in asking about his family. It wasn't exactly something he liked talking about."What about you?" He wondered "What did you want to be when you grew up?"

"Oh?" Riley asked, as Yoichi pointed out that his family had been somewhat rich. Naturally, she was not a person enticed by material possessions or Jewels, but she was a little surprised that someone hailing from a rich family seemed so down to earth. At his question, she paused for a moment, giving a bit of a smile, "I wanted something very simple," she replied, allowing her eating utensils to rest on the table for a moment as she did so, "I just wanted to be free," she released a soft 'heh' sound, followed by a soft statement that she should perhaps find some more goals now that she had achieved that much.

He chuckled a bit and nodded "That seems rather reasonable" He said with a smile at her saying she merely wanted to be free "I guess...After my mom, dad and siblings left I just sorta took the money they gave me and moved into the cheapest non-rat infested place I could find..." He said, rubbing the back of his head as he finished his pancakes and began sipping his coffee

"Oh? Why did you do that?" Riley wondered, slowly bringing her elbows to the table as she folded her hands and allowed her chin to rest on them. In truth, she wanted to ask about his siblings, but judging by what he has said they were 'gone away' as well. Licking her lips a little, she watched him intently, "did you just want to make your money last longer, or was there another reason?" She wondered, at which point her voice trailed off for a few moments before she spoke up again.
"What brought you to Onibas, anyways? I don't think you told me, but things have been moving so fast that my mind is kind of in shambles right now, anyways..." She mumbled the last bit, her cheeks a bit red.

He nodded at her first question "yea...I don't exactly know how to make money or work so I was just trying to spend as little as I possibly could, So I was only buying meals when I absolutely needed them" He said softly "And I only bought the bare essentials...Like water and electricity" He said, looking away a bit embarrassed "I came to Onibas because I wanted to find something different.." He muttered softly looking up at her with a smile.

Riley actually began to chuckle at his words, having to bury her face in her hands to stifle herself a little. She cupped one hand over her mouth, her body trembling a bit as she contained her laughter. "I'm sorry," she whispered, shaking her head a little once she more or less had control over herself, though she kept chuckling a bit, "I just find it really funny," she went on to say, slowly allowing her hands to fall to rest on the table. For a few moments, it seemed like she was mocking him, but she soon continued, making herself clear to him.
"It's just, when I ran away, I also didn't have any means of taking care of myself. My... skills... weren't marketable ones, so I ended up having to pickpocket, though, since I had nothing to my name," her hand stretched across the table, gently folding over one of his much larger ones, "seems we have something in common," she pointed out, smiling at him.

He didn't seem to mind that she was laughing, Not very surprised at the fact that she found it funny. He'd been mocked almost his entire life since he started living on his own so it wasn't that odd really to hear the laughter. Regardless, He smiled at her and moved around to sit next to her, Kissing her forehead softly as he nuzzled her and pulled her close. "Well, The sooner you're done eating, The sooner we can leave for the next part of your vacation" He said with a large smile and gave her a thumbs up

Riley fell into silence as he came to sit alongside her, her eyes closing momentarily as he kissed her forehead, she smiled a little, faintly, nuzzling him back gently and letting herself lean into him slightly. "I'm done now," she assured, smiling up at him as she did so, "where are we going to go next, Yoichi?" She wondered, slowly moving her head to lay against his shoulder as she gazed up at him expectantly.

"Now that's a surprise" He told her with a smile, Patting her head as he stood, Laying out enough jewels to cover their bill as he cleaned himself a bit "Come, I'll show you" He said with a smile, Taking her hand and heading back upstairs to grab her some warm clothing. He wrapped his arm with hers once she was fully dressed in her warmest gear and began heading out, Somewhat towards the hot springs but leading her directly past them.
It took them about 3 hours before they arrived at their next destination, It was very chilly, However despite the cold air the place was a large open circular area that had plenty of flowers and one large oak tree growing in the center "I found this place awhile ago on one of my random expedition's. This spot right here" He said letting her go and moving towards the tree, motioning for her to follow "Is the closest spot to the biggest source of Mana in the entire world" He said, pointing to the tree which was massive in its own right, Far older then many would think "I think this tree is hundred's of thousands of years old" He said patting the massive trunk "And yet it's still perfectly healthy! And most Oak's only live a few thousand if they're extremely lucky" he said with a smile

"Aw, okay," Riley murmured, as he told her that it was a surprise. Naturally, she followed after him as he told her to come with him, all while wondering where he could be taking her after a relaxing night at the hot springs. As they dressed for colder weather, and linked arms, her free hand moved to gently grasp onto his arm as well. She wasn't entirely sure why she had done this, she just felt the urge to as they wandered away from the lodge and the hotsprings.
Her head had propped somewhat against his arm as they walked, her green eyes dancing as she was still wondering where on earth they were going. Gently, she rose her head as a large tree came into sight, which made her a little curious, though it didn't really mean anything to her until he spoke up about it and let go of her. Eventually, she stalked after him, seeming a little uncertain as she walked, like she was someplace that she should not be.
Giving a bit of a shudder at the odd feeling, she tried to brush it off an instead listen to what he was saying. "Is that... so?" She absently asked, stopping in order to look up at the tree - which was easier said then done, really, as she practically fell on her rear trying to get herself to stare all the way up at the top.
Raising a hand, she scratched lightly at one of her cheeks, "I'm not sure what to say..." She softly admitted.
