Summary; Greed takes Haydee out for a bit of dancin' and romancin', true to his word.
Log;

Greed knocked softly on Haydee's door, waiting for the exotic woman to greet him. This had certainly been a fortuitous event. It wasn't often that he went out with someone so skilled in the cultural arts.

"Sup, babe?" he said, knocking a bit louder, "Come to the door, Haydee. It's me, Greed."

"Ah... No matter how antisocial one may be, they have to seek someone out...That ticking is enough to drive anyone mad. The deities are rather clever."

Haydée looked over the food with great interest. The scent of the tea and sight of the colorful fish reminded her how hungry she was.

She picked up her chopsticks gingerly, not quite used to them, and picked up the roll, taking a nibble. "...! It's really good. Which one is this again...?" She asked before finishing it off.

"That's..." he trailed off, picking of a menu, "Fatty tuna, whatever that is."

Greed poured some sake for himself and then plopped a few Eel rolls into his mouth. He chewed and swallowed the food ravenously, quite pleased with the taste.

"I'm glad I found this place. It's got some good stuff in it!"

"It's delicious, I guess that's all that matters, mm?"

Haydée took a sip of tea before settling into the meal. It really was unlike anything she ever had, she found herself fond of the tuna rolls and the salmon rolls the best, finishing them off quickly but as politely as she could.

"It does!" She said in agreement. "I'll have to come here again, it's really unique...but it is good."

Greed took a deep draught of sake, licking his laps afterward in satisfaction.

"Yep, yep," he said, gulping down a few more rolls, "I know how to pick 'em. I range all over this city in the pursuit of finer experiences. I consider myself quite the authority."

He extended the sake bottle in case she wanted a taste.

"You want?"

"So you've been to all the resturaunts around here then...? What other resturaunts and stores are there?" She nibbled on a flounder roll before setting down her chopsticks and dabbing at her lips with a napkin.

"Ahh...certainly. Thank you." She took the bottle and poured a bit out for herself.

She took a small sip, caught off guard by the strong, but sweet flavor. "Sake...was it?" She finished it off and passed the bottle back. "It's very sweet."

"It's rice wine, babe! Alcohol changes dependin' on what you use to make it. Different fruits, especially."

The catalogue of places he had been to flashed through his head for a moment as he pondered her question.

"Well, it depends. What do you like?"

"...Wine? Mm...wines in Paris didn't taste anything like it. Must be another thing unique to here."

She thought for a moment, wondering exactly what she needed..."Well, I'll need to find a good grocery store, a clothing store, a book store, a few good cafés...and..." She paused. "A music store would be of great use as well, if there is one around."

"Certainly. I know good places for all of the above. I'll show 'em to ya' sometime."

Greed soon finished his food, wiping his mouth with a napkin. He emptied one of the bottles into his mouth and swallowed, then set it on the side, along with his plate and chopsticks.

"Woo! I do so love that stuff. Nothin' like a cute date and a good meal."

"Again, I would appreicate that...I'm still very not used to going out around here alone."

Haydée finished hers shortly after, setting aside her own chopsticks and napkin aside. She felt content, and much more at ease.

"I agree." She said with a miniscule blush. "...Oh, is this where you'll teach me how to dance as well? Or is there...somewhere else where we'll be going for that?" She asked, since it had been on her mind for quite a while.

"The temple is better for that, as they have wider floors. Care to go?" he asked, placing a tip on the table, "I'm givin' piggy back rides!"

"A temple...? Mm, that sounds fine with me." She blinked as the term. "What...a piggy back ride? I've never heard that before."

Greed knelt down beside her, exposing his back to her.

"Hop on. That's a piggy back ride."

Haydée couldn't help but blink for a few seconds before awkwardly placing her hands on his shoulders and climbing on.

"Last time I've done something like this...I was still little."

"Well, don't worry about me. I'm really strong," he laughed, rising to his feet with her one him and walking out the door of the building. After walking a few feet, he broke into a run, rushing past buildings and street lights.

"I can see that." She said, clinging to him. A gasp escaped her as he broke into the run, making her instinctivly hold on tighter. Lights flashed in front of her, but all she could do was close her eyes tightly and bury her face against his neck. "Mhn..."

Within ten minutes, they had left the city limits and hit the cleared forest path to the temple. He hurtled the rocky walkway quickly and stopped to left her off at the temple door.

"Kick your shoes off once we step in. We need to keep the floors clean or I get chewed out."

He stepped in, holding the door for her.

Haydée climbed off of his back, trembling slightly and dusting off her dress. "That was...r-rather interesting." She said, running a hand through her hair, smoothing it back to normal.

"You live here with someone else...?" She asked, stepping inside and slipping off her shoes.

"You noticed from all the shoes, eh? Yeah, we've got lots of people. They live all around the place. I was the first here, so I have seniority."

"And when you said you'd be chewed out. Plenty of residents, mm? Are they here tonight?" She said, looking around at the surroundings.

"Dunno. It's a big place, with multiple floors, so it's difficult to tell," he said with a shrug, "We won't be bothered."
