You were on speed dial.

[ Putting the tonkatsu on their plates! ]

... Good a reason as any! Thanks for thinking of me.

[ Sort of. But free food and Yata bonding, it's definitely a good day. ]

[ She's on speed dial in case he gets trapped in the ladies' room or something. ]

Wh— I-it's not like I wanted to text you, jeez. I wanna gonna call other people... [ But he trails off. ] Eat!

[ Because he's already sitting down and getting a few spoonfuls of his fried rice on his plate. ]

You could've! I don't mind sharing space.

[ But yes, she's grabbing everything and popping a spoonful into her mouth, making a muffled happy noise immediately after. ]

[ Oh, she likes it. He keeps an eye on her as he takes a bite of the meat. ]

Totsuka-san's busy... Saya's in school. I dunno if Oz likes tonkatsu. Do you know what Killua's favorite food is?

Chocolate.

[ Typical kid. But she pauses after another bite to consider a more helpful answer. ]

But if he's like most guys I know, he'll eat anything.

Haha, what a kid!

[ Yata, Killua is a kid. ]

But yeah, I just figured I wanted to do something for you since you help me out a lot... Whatever.

[ SHOVES A SHITTON OF RICE IN HIS MOUTH ]

Awww, you made me gratitude food! [ Yata, you're precious. ]

[ Well, now that she says it like that, he kicks her foot under the table, but not too hard. ]

Hurry up and eat! Or I'm getting this all.

[ DON'T TALK WITH YOUR MOUTH FULL, YATA... ]

[ If he thinks she's not going to kick back, NICE TRY. ]

Geez, don't kick a girl for telling the truth! [ and fine, SHE IS COMMANDEERING DAT FOOD. ]

[ Yata swallows and kicks back harder! It's a scuffle under the table. ]

Oi, you already had half, didn't you!?

[ He scrambles for more rice THAT SHE WAS SUPPOSED TO SHARE. ]

[ HE JUST TOLD HER TO EAT WHAT MORE DO YOU WANT-- ]

I'm a growing girl who needs her gratitude!!

[ YOU WANNA GO, YATA'S FOOT. ]

[ He's using two feet. IT'S ON. ]

And you ate it all! You're out of tonkatsu!

[ The meat-to-rice ratio on her plate is horrendously off. ]

[ AIMING FOR HIS KNEE, because Yang fights fair. ]

The rice is just as good, it's fine!

That's not—

[ Ow, that hurt. He uses his other foot to do the same, but he ends up hitting the edge of her chair between her legs. ]

[ And Yang is going to serenely pull her legs up and settle so he can't reach them anymore, so HA. ]

Not what?

... I forgot what we were talking about.

[ Score another one for Yang Xiao Long. His foot settles back onto the floor as his CYbuddy flies up to perch on the backrest of a chair. Maybe it's time for a change of topic. ]

How was yesterday?

... Kind of boring, honestly. Bargains aside.

[ What a shame, though. ]

What about you?

[ Although she knows the gist of it. ]

Nah. Killua got us into a fight. But these guys were givin' me lip, so I played with 'em a bit.

[ "Played"... A bit... ]

[ So he really did punch a guy for her... bless her little brother thing. ]

... So I missed all the fights and you guys got into all of 'em.

[ SHE'S KIND OF ENVIOUS. ]

[ He shrugs. ] It was alright.

[ Just dealing with human drug dealers. Nothing new. ]

Killua fights really good for someone who ain't got powers and stuff.

[ Former assassin-- but she won't mention that. ]

Gonna recruit him to help fight crime? Am I being replaced?

No, I was just sayin'...

[ But speaking of partners... ]

Who's Blake?

Blake? One of my teammates from back home.

[ He plays with the remaining food on his plate. ]

Teammates...?

[ What does that mean? ]
