Kichou Asakura

"It’s all you, Ms. Asakura."

{ღ} —— "You sure? It might have more of an impact if we both go. He kind of abandoned you, after all."

"Back to square one, huh… Guess I’m not winning this one. Should’ve known better than to try and argue with you. I give."

{ღ} —— "And there we have it! Now which one of us should be the one to grab Raidou?"

"How many times do I have to tell you we don’t traffic in information before it gets through that pretty little head of yours? Take a hint."

{ღ} —— "You'd be willing to help a dame if she asks enough, right? Just think about all the info I've given Raidou to help out with his cases! Okay, why don't we put it like this: You can either pay me back by calling me for jobs or free coffee. Your pick."

"… You’re kidding. No, Tae, this isn’t how this was supposed to go! You can’t keep treating this place like your own personal cafe! I’m trying to run a business here!"

#lazydetective #{Why must you try and make her pay for your coffee?#We're pals aren't we?#=) =) =) }

{ღ} —— "I'm not kidding! It's not like I always treat this place like a cafe, either! I drop by to check up on you guys and give you info, too!

"And you're not the only one trying to keep a job here! If you called me, maybe I'd have some spare money to pay for your coffee, huh?"

"… Jeez. Well, if you’re not pulling any punches, then neither am I. Let’s talk business! Raidou and I got into an argument. We reached an agreement and decided that you need to start paying for your cups of coffee. Oh, and this isn’t actually open for discussion."

{ღ} —— "Yeah, I don't think so. I'll start paying for your coffee when you start calling me for jobs. I've got articles to write, y'know, and you guys are the ones with all the juicy tidbits. Quid pro quo.

"You're right, though: This isn't actually open for discussion. I'm making my coffee and that's that."

"I’m hurt. And anyway, isn’t that a problem? If he’s being sketchy, shouldn’t you be a little more concerned about him? Go and see what’s up. After all, it’s not like him, right?"

{ღ} ---- "Oh, I think Raidou's fine. If there really was something wrong with him, you would've gone after him by now, right? I think it's better to deal with the lying sack of honey in front of me."
