So you wanted to meet me in private then...

"Glad you agree," he said, even though internally Nan was sad about having essentially ruined the milk shake. At least he got a sip before he 'fixed' it.

As Hikari started drinking more, he motioned for her to pass over the other one. If she did, he would give it the same treatment. He taste tested it a few times, including before the addition of ingredients, so that he could test it at different stages. Eventually he would mostly replicate the first, at around the time Hikari had finished drinking about half of the other.

Hopefully she's not too much of a lightweight. Otherwise this'll be a boring wait while she naps. Though taking care of someone during a bad hangover after NOT taking advantage of them can go places....

He of course did not let these thoughts display in his body language. Instead, his body took on a questioning one. No, not questioning. More... inquisitive. "Well certainly I can describe her, but it really was just hunches. It's been so long, she may look completely different. But if I had to guess, she'd be average height of a bit short. She had this fantastically blond hair, similar to yours but more... stringy and platinum. Her eyes were a fantastically bright blue, and her skin was... not far off of yours, though a bit paler. Then again, I saw her when she had no tan at all, so maybe she was just pale from lack of sun." He would list off his sister's details. There really were not many more to state, since last he'd seen her was when she was less than a year old.

Hikari would pass over the other one before continuing to drink from the milkshake. Listening to Nan, Two things sort of caught the girl's attention. The first thing was that she noticed was that Nan for some reason didn't give the name of his half sister out. This seemed strange to the Jounin, but Hikari just wrote this off to the man being a little bit out of to because of all he went through today, and now being made to talk about his sister. It would probably make anybody a little shaken up and forget the details.

The other thing of note that Nan said that made the Fuinjutsu specialist do a double take. 'Pale, long string platinum hair, and fantastically blue eyes.' There was something wrong about what he just described. It sounded.... it sounded very similar to that of the royal family's physical discription. But surely... that had to be just a coincidence, correct? After all.... there was no way that his sister could be a member of the royal family? Could it?

Suddenly, as Hikari started to speak of this, she felt her head get wobbily.... some sort of brain freeze? No... that wasn't what this was.... she felt... a little bit dizzy and out of it. Holding onto her head for a bit, she would attempt to shake off whatever was effecting her.

"Sorry... I just... suddenly felt a little sick... but I am sure it will pass. Anyways, I will keep an eye out for your sister. There aren't a lot of people that look like that around these parts. Anyways, I just asked a lot of questions...... Do you have any for me? You know... the I ask you a question, you ask me a question deal?"

Nan smiled dully towards Hikari. She had some nice words, and certainly they interested him. But what annoyed him was that she truly did seem to be a lightweight. He'd have to finish the second shake himself (he could take it just fine), and hope the first shake wasn't too much for her. Luckily, most of the alcohol settles, so by this point she'd probably had about three fourths of the alcoholic content of the beverage, even though half of it in totality remained.

"Yes, it would be nice to see Sara again, even if only for awhile. And I guess you have had a few turns! Well, hmm. You've gotten a bit personal, so I'll be personal right back, though hopefully a bit more lighthearted!" Nan was positively brimming.

"Alright, so. Hmm. Well, tell me about a time you were embarrassed." It was a simple enough one, though could surely go interestingly. Luckily for Hikari, it would only be about thirty seconds after Nan had spoken that their food would arrive. If she wanted to, she could certainly derail the conversation and possibly get him to ask something else later.

Hikari took another note of something Nan said as he spoke, 'Sara' The name of the sister. Hikari would to the best of her ability take a note of that, and continue to drink the milkshake.

As he continued, Nan would say something kind of scary. "A time I was embaressed....." Of course, if any other guy had asked the chestnut haired teen about this, she would laugh it off and refuse to answer it. However... Nan had been so open to her about his past life, it felt only fair for the shinobi to do the same.

"So... it is kind of a funny story." Hikari would say. "I had just been beaten.... BAD... by the friend I had been talking about before. I didn't even know what hit me for a while. And as a bit of a punishment, my friend kind of forced me to... Um... go out of my comfort zone lets say. Anyways... by complete coincidence, there was a fair going on in town. So... as  I was saying, my freind, Her name is Shiroi by the way, thought it was a good idea to strip us both down into bikinis and basically go out and just mingle around. I grew up in a house where.... um... lets just say the term "Modest is hottest" was never even spoken about, but just presumed. So being out in public basically wearing nothing but my underwear was kind of... well.... embarrassing.

"If that wasn't bad enough Shiroi had me participate in a bikini contest in front of dozens of people! It was insane! The craziest part of all that was though that I some how ended up winning! I Don't know how.... I seriously suspect that Shiroi some how bribed the judges to make that happen.

But yeah... that was kind of the most embarrassing thing in my life." Hikari would say, blushing slightly, at that point, the food would arrive. Hikari would wait for the server to place the plates on the table (Once again, golden plates) before looking up at Nan, waiting to see his reaction and let him take the first bite of food.

[[ I have enough wordcount to train http://naruto-role-play-rpg.forumotion.com/t36728-counter-cold-reading so I'm gonna work off having it and just make the official claim at the end of the topic. I already basically assumed Ciel knew it. ]]

Nan started off interested, looking at Hikari. It did not take long for him to look away, his face blushing. Of course he was imagining Hikari in a bikini. Wide hips, but not super thick thighs, a... pear, yes, pear body shape. She would not need a very large top. Bonus. Plus, with ninja training, either she had a six pack, or was just very lean. The latter would look better (to Nan), but the former was more interesting. Nan would have licked his lips if that hadn't given away his inner thoughts.

"Wow. That's, yeah, I can see how that would be embarrassing!" he said, still barely looking towards her.

"Ooh, this looks delicious," he remarked as he grabbed a fork and knife.

Yes, a fork and a knife. This may have been a pizza, but it was not finger food. Well, it was. And it probably could be eaten with just your hands, but it was not really meant to be. It was meant to be cut using a knife, and then picked up using your fingers. So, it was partially finger food, but not really.

However, he realized shortly after that it was already cut into squares. Which mean he did not need his fork and knife, so he put them back down. Nan would start with an inner piece. Because who doesn't?

It really was good. You could feel the cost in some of the ingredients. The cheese, the truffles, the caviar.... what wasn't there to like?



So, with his mouth full, Nan would begin speaking. "But I mean, at least that contest wasn't as bad as this one I read about in the paper. At least I'd not think so." Around here he swallowed, but was very tempted to get a new piece despite being about to talk again. He held back, however, and looked up towards Hikari. "Some girl was wearing a bikini and running around in a building on fire. Just imagine how that one felt! What if it had caught fire! Even if she'd been fine, she's lucky she didn't end up streaking!" Nan had read about this incident while in the library. He had been going through old newspapers.

What he did not realize was that Hikari was the source of this story.

Hikari would blush, and turn away, trying not to show her face, for the look of surprise on it as Nan told the story of someone going and saving a bunch of people in a bikini....

Specifically, the time when Hikari had gone out and done that.

Honestly, Hikari had tried to forget about that incident, but of course, it was somewhat embaressing.

With that being said, The Chestnut haired Fuinjutsu user would quickly tryo change the subject.

"Yeah.... strange..... anyways, what about you, what was your most embarrassing moment?" the Jounin would ask, hoping to turn the tables.

Nan caught the girl's... reaction. There was like, only one thing that could mean.

And he found that fucking hilarious.

"Nonono, you're trying to deflect," he began after she asked her question. "I wanna kno- actually. I'll just answer, then ask my own!"

He took a bite of food, and a swig of his drink, before leaning back.

"Hmm. Well, it's not as bad as yours but... When I was a really young kid, I met my first black person. And I don't mean darker skinned, or shades of brown. Dude was straight up black. I think it was a KKG thing. I think he said that. But me being like three...

"Anyways, I'm with my dad, and I see this dude from across the room. And I'm just shouting 'monster monster!' and pointing at him and jumping around trying to get my dad's attention and it was really obvious. And I guess as a kid I didn't think it was super embarrassing, but looking back... holy shit."

Barely giving himself any time to breathe, he continued.

"My turn. Here's my question. Were you the bikini clad fire girl??"

Hikari... (who's head felt light and weird at this point) would take a few more bites of her food and listen to Nan's story. Thinking about it, Hikari didn't really understand the black KKG thing, was there a kenkei Genkai that alowed one's skin to become supper dark? The Jounin didn't know, but calling someone out on it? Specifcly a monster? Well, In hoshi, most civilians do that to Shinobi every day, so It wasn't that big of a deal, but outside of Hoshi... On second thought, yeah... that was probably very embaressing.

However.... that question didn't get Hikari out of the follow up question.

"Oh... well...." The Jounin would say, attempting to lie, however, she wasn't able to get the words out of her mouth. What was this? Usually, it was hard for Hikari to lie, but she could usually at least get the words out, so why couldn't she do that now?

Not being able to lie, Hikari would just continue on and tell the truth. "Guilty as charged I suppose... yes, that was me.... I saw the fire from my apartment while I was trying some one and I sort of bolted out without even realizing it....."

Hikari's blush on her face would continue to deepen as she was forced to confess this.

"Oh! You were rescuing people!" Nan was smiling. "That makes much more sense! I just saw a headline, I didn't bother to read the article." Nan had a bit more to eat and took a few sips from the second shake. "Well, you saw people in need, and you rushed in with no heed for yourself. That's the right thing to do, isn't it? So what if you happened to be in a bikini! You were probably the cutest rescuer they ever had!" He stuck his tongue playfully, just a little bit, at the end of the sentence. It was only out a moment. "That's not really something to be embarrassed about!"

Nan looked down at his plate. There was a little over half the pizza still (it was a personal pizza, not a huge one). He grabbed a few pieces, an outer one and an inner one, plus a few extra, and would carry them across the table to Hikari's plate. "Make sure to try it!"

He would have a bit more of the second shake before continuing the meal, waiting for her to ask a question.
