Log;

He was usually a good deal more punctual, but a call to rescue someone from the Underground had unfortunately caused him to be a good fifteen minutes late. Thankfully, the bike cut off a good chunk of walking time, so there wouldn't be too much for Aya to fuss about, if he even said anything. Once the bike was still, he climbed off of it, already dressed for the fight other than the long gloves he already had strapped to his legs. After a quick look around, he pulled off his helmet and crossed over to where his 'opponent' and friend were waiting.

"Sorry! I got a late call."

"Do I want to hear what Ken actually used to call it?" She had to laugh inwardly at the obvious speculations going on inside her head, though it all was quickly forgotten at the odd fascination Umi found upon looking at how casually Ken took care of his blades.

Then she snapped back to reality at Aya's question. "Not really. I wanted to be timely for this and get everything ready. Are you guys hungry after all that exercise?"

Umi might be shocked at how in-depth that care would be later on. His gaze flicked over to her at the last question, not really caring about the first. If Aya wanted to tell her how well they got along in the early days of Weiss, he was more than welcome.

"Starved, but I'm fine for now. I think Mara's got something planned."

Aya gave a little knowing smile at what Ken had to say. However, he didn't actually say anything on it aside from... "If Mara has plans maybe you should go see what they are. Umi and I will go and get something else."

He was hardly blind after all.

Her eyebrows rose with a bit of surprise. Mara... The lady who'd been there for Ken back when Euphie had---? Yeah. Had to be!

Umi seemed to recall Ken had always mentioned this woman fondly, so it came as no surprise that he remembered her as well --memories seemed to be all but back to him, after all, at least most important ones. Something like nosy curiosity tickled her thoughts at the idea of Ken having dinner with this lady, but she pushed it aside for now. Come to think of it... what had happened to Ken's relationship with Euphie?

Smiling over at Aya, she let the matter slide for good. "That's an idea! We wouldn't want to get in the way of your plans, Ken. Definitely not!"

There was a pinch of teasing there, too. But it could be easily shrugged off as nothing but silly girly humor. Ken and Aya must be used to that by now.

He didn't miss the smile from Aya, but he didn't bother to say anything about it. He knew Aya was smart enough to put two and two together. Smiling, he just shrugged and sighed dramatically.

"Oh, the life of a soccer star. Women just throw themselves at me. Besides, I think it's just a bite to eat and a little relaxing."

Of all people, Aya would know just how unlucky he was with relationships, but he left it unsaid.

"Just don't change the story around and make yourself the victor," Aya reminded him as he took a cloth from inside his coat to quickly clean off his blade.

"Come on, Umi."

He gave Ken one more nod...this time for good luck...before turning to walk away.

"Yeah, you make a point out of that, soccer star."

...Alright, this sort of confirmed matters a bit. So something might be in the works, if not happening already. In her heart Umi couldn't help but feel so happy, as she gave Ken her own wish for good luck: a quick hug, before following after Aya. Still, a little pang for Euphie's sake lingered with her for a moment.

Then she smiled back at her friend and waved as she walked on. "See you tomorrow or something!"
