❛ are you always this straightforward with strangers ? ❜

To the question of this hella cute-looking of young man, Susanoo chuckled. He could not say it was the fault of the red wine in his hand after just a tiny sip of it, nor he could he blamed the refined food that was customized to indulge his taste by the very chef that had just asked him.

"I only have my nature to blame, " there was his mischievous smirk, the trademark of a god who knew nothing better than being his very own self. "You have not answered my question though. Do you want to un-stranger us, by going on a date with me?"

“I could’ve handled it myself, you know.”

"Wouldn't it be weird if I just walked away?" The rhetorical question came along with an easy smile, while he was looking down at all the bags that had just successfully brought to the door of Viggo's apartment.

Typically, Lio would not satisfy the common standards of being the friendly and sociable guy next door. Yet, since today hadn't fouled his mood and Viggo looked like he didn't wish for a round trip back downstairs, Lio figured out he could offer some help.

"Oh and, I've wanted to tell you this," Lio stopped his pace and turned around to seek the chef's attention once more; sharp eyes got softened with genuine affection as he said, "I'm quite a fan of your carbonara. Can't wait to come back to Noona for more!"

“ great . just fucking great . ”

As his ears caught the words, Lio's hands paused midair as his obsidian eyes shifted from the shelf, half-full of blades and such from from the Daggers and Rose' newest patch, to look at the source of the voice.

He recognized this man, a face he had run into here and there along the common hallway of the apartments, but that was basically it. As a neighbour, Lio was definitely not a very good one. As a store clerk, he played his role decently, but never with the annoying enthusiasm one could often be bothered with. So instead of saying anything, he kept his mouth shut, eyes remained open and fixed on the customer, waiting to see if the other demigod was just talking to himself, or was about to seek assistance with whatever he was choosing right there.

“ i can’t get any signal out here . ”

"Well, then that may be a signal for you to move a bit closer there," Ayden said pointing at the black wifi router hung in the corner, with beady dots occasionally blinking like the indication of the unstable connection it brought to this floor.

"But seriously man, if you have 5G or something, use it instead; the wifi is just there for fun." The Japanese demigod added, genuinely not wanting this stranger to be disappointed like he had been fifteen minutes ago. The Internet connection could go wrong anywhere anytime, even on a magical island, apparently.
