Psyche made a childish face in response to Ren’s comment about her European tastes. However, when Ren asked about her family, her playful expression disappeared and was replaced with a blank look “No.” She answered plainly, looking back at her menu. “I am an only child.” She never did like talking about her family. It wasn’t like she was on bad terms with them…they were just..rather distant. She was not particularly close with them and hated it when they were brought up in a conversation. Closing her menu, she quickly diverted the convo. ”Well I think I know what I want. How about you?” She asked, smiling slightly.
Ren paused, noting the change in Psyche’s facial expressions. It looked like she too had some family issues, which the brunette was all too familiar with. But for the sake of courtesy, she pushed them aside, setting her menu at the edge of the table. “I think I’m ready too.” She smiled politely. “Family was a bad place to start, anyway. Who needs em, really.”
“Yeah. I guess so.” Psyche smiled wryly. She quickly flagged down a waiter to take their order.
Waiter: “What can I get for you ladies?” (Guy is hawt)
Psyche replied with her order.
Waiter: *looks to Ren* And what can I get you?
Ren places her order with a smile, and as soon as the waiter has gone, gives Psyche a sly look. “Well?” She glances at the retreating boy, and then back to the Italian.
The dark haired woman quirked an eyebrow at Ren’s sly grin and shook her head. ”He’s cute.” Instantly knowing that it wasn’t a good enough answer for the girl, she shrugged. ”What do you want me to say?” The hint of a smirk evident on her face.
Ren shrugged. “He is.” She grinned. “You’re single, aren’t you? I’ve never heard you talk about any dudes, and your desk is pretty bare of photographs.”
Psyche rolled her eyes. ”I wish it was that simple to say. But needless to say, you are not the only one with relationship problems.” She then smirked “Don’t deny it. I see the way you and Kaiba act around each other~” Winking at Ren, she took drink of her wine. ”If you really want to know, I’m sort of caught between two guys. It’s…complicated for lack of better words.” She sighed. ((OOC: Dumb Billy and Holden BC))
“It’s not a relationship problem, it’s an occupational hazard, and as pretty as he is, he’s a fucking asshole. I’m not going there.” Ren rolled her eyes, scowling at the thought of him. He had made life pretty rough for her over the past year, and though she loved Mokuba and the perks that came with nannying him, she could think of nothing more infuriating and frustrating than working for Seto Kaiba.
“Date them both.” Ren offered, sipping at her wine. “That way when one of them pisses you off, you’ve got another guy to have your back.”
Psyche’s response was a blank look. ”Are you kidding? They hate each other…I’m actually surprised one of them hasn’t murdered the other yet.” She replied rather nonchalantly as if murder was a normal occurance, which in this case, it was. “No. My situation is like your’s: fragile and extremely volatile. But at least you only have one to deal with. I have two dumbasses to keep in line.” She snorted. Ohhhh the stories she could tell~
Ren snorted. "At least they don't hate *you*." She shook her head, smirking behind her hand. "I'm pretty sure he'd have killed me and hidden my body beneath KaibaLand by now, if not for Mokuba. That kid is my own personal amnesty."
She raised an eyebrow, tearing a breadstick in half. "But tell me about your boys. I always like hearing about drama that's not my own."
