My Self-Summary
Weather witch temping as a wage slave. Spoilers: it sucks.
My Future PlansMaybe start up some studies between distractions. Academic minutae — real dry, you probably wouldn't get it.
My TalentsBaking, making it rain (not the money kind), cutting deals with spirits. Gardening, too.
Favorite Books, Movies, Music, and FoodRelaxed music, I guess.... you know, like acoustic guitar. The stuff they put on in coffee shops for background noise. What else? Uh. I like fresh fruit and don't care for spicy food all that much?
Books and movies are whatever. I'll read/watch it if it's not boring me to tears in the first ten minutes.

[it all worked out in the end! he feels pleased as he watches her dig into the pocky and bento boxes, unwrapping a sandwich for himself to munch on as they spend some quiet time together enjoying their lunch. he plans on digging into the sushi next, but the fact that she hasn't touched it doesn't escape his notice. . .]
Hn? Not a fan of sushi?
[valid if not. IT'LL BE MORE FOR HIM]
no subject
Oh, no. Just taking my time.
[ Dismissively waving off the silly notion she has no stomach for exotic fish dishes might even sell the act. Instead of doing something reasonable like just straight up asking for clarification (over her dead fucking body), Mayou's piling all her eggs in one basket. Whatever Akira does, she'll just mimic him. Easy, right? Genius. How could this possibly backfire.
She's assuming it's finger food judging from the handy bite size portions, but one can never be too sure... and admittedly the stakes are higher since this is a
dateMISSION!!!! ]no subject
Just taking your time, huh. . .
[he pops the plastic lid off of the tray with a coy little smile]
Do you prefer tuna or salmon? I think I'm more of a tuna guy myself.
no subject
[ That's... not just a convenient excuse when it's legitimately true, but hey. She'll take the deflection fodder where she can get it!
She doesn't really have a preference for one fish over the other, but... ]
Salmon. [ Primly unwrapping another melonpan, don't mind her. ] You can have my portion of tuna if you want.
no subject
[teamwork!! he plucks one piece of salmon from the platter before holding it out between his fingers, brows raised]
Say, "aaaah?"
[OPEN UP, MAYOU]
no subject
?!?!?! ]
Honestly...
[ Huff. She can't just give Akira the cold shoulder over something so playfully silly, now can she? It's a bit begrudging, but Mayou sets down the melonpan she was about to tuck into in favor of leaning forward a little instead, obligingly opening her mouth before she can get cold feet. ]
no subject
Well? How is it?
no subject
No idea, but Mayou catches his wrist (gently) before he fully pulls away, munching away thoughtfully on the piece of sushi while the flavors filter through her taste buds. Surprisingly mild... a bit of salt, a bit of sugar, some vinegar undertones——
Her throat works for a moment prior to her tongue darting out over her lips with a satisfied hum. ]
Not half bad. Pretty good, actually.
[ That hand she's holding hostage? Yeah, that gets a quick one-two peck combo to the palm and the pulse at his wrist before Mayou lets him go with the most innocuous expression like ~ nothing happened ~ . ]
1/2
[help]
no subject
Doooo you like wasabi?
[he is not going to call her out directly on never having had sushi before since she SO VERY CLEARLY was trying to pretend otherwise, but he does launch into a brief explanation]
It's the green stuff. You can put a little bit on your next piece.
no subject
Mayou gives the lurid green paste a somewhat disinterested glance (the hubris!) but does as he suggests, using one chopstick to scoop up a dab of the mystery substance. ]
Aw... you mean you're not gonna feed me this one too? No fun.
[ Both sushi and wasabi disappear into her mouth. So far, so good, the same flavors as before for the most part — ]
no subject
[ oh NO ]
no subject
...it's alright.
[ HER SINUSES WERE LITERALLY ON FIRE WHAT THE ACTUAL HELL ]
no subject
[casually, with a bit a playful glint in his eyes]
Oh. Right.
I forgot to mention it was spicy. Very spicy.
[it's fine. he offers her a calpico, which is not milk but is a cream-based drink. hopefully it coats her tongue just as well as milk would!]
no subject
You don't say... never would've guessed.
[ The sarcasm! Fortunately Mayou's both too lazy to hold a grudge and not petty enough to take it personally, so the most retribution he gets is a steady, suspicious side eye while twisting the top off of that calpico (strawberry flavor!) bottle for a cautious sip. ]
Some people get hexed for less, you know. [ Huff. ] It's bad luck to cross a witch.
no subject
Hm. I've never been hexed before. [Akira] What's your favorite one?
no subject
Mayou gives him an amused look over the calpico bottle. ]
Are you asking to be?
[ A deeper draught of the pleasantly fruity drink lets the question sink in a bit in the natural lull. She's reasonably certain he wouldn't be that foolish, but... it's tough to say with Akira. He's not an easy person to predict, even with Mayou's proclivity for reading between the lines.
After draining roughly a third of the bottle in one long pull, she continues: ]
Fylgan hex. In other words — unpleasant effects that "follow" someone for a set amount of time constantly. Very annoying, trust me.
no subject
Absolutely not.
[and then he pops the sushi into his mouth! it appears some challenges are not meant to be matched. . .]
[at any rate, he listens to her answer with genuine curiosity, head canted to the side when she says "fylgan" because. . . what the fuck is that mean]
Unpleasant effects like stubbing your toe?
no subject
Unpleasant effects like terrible weather. Bigger's better in most cases, but I like to make a cloud about... this big?
[ Mayou stuffs the salmon piece in her mouth and mimes a roughly circular shape with her hands, pauses for a moment to assess, then makes it a tiiiiny bit bigger — beach ball size — with a decisive nod.
Yeah, this big. Perfect for getting inside a building and hanging out over someone's head. Menacingly. ]
no subject
Cute. . .
[IS A HEX SUPPOSED TO BE CUTE]
no subject
You mean inconvenient.
[ Mayou corrects him primly - while one of "his" tuna sushi pieces gets stuffed in her mouth, of course. What's yours is mine etc etc. ]
no subject
[he grins a li'l when she steals that tuna piece. . . and snatches up one of her salmon pieces in return. turnabout!!]
Have you hexed anyone here yet?
no subject
[ Thief doing thief things... she'll get back at him eventually. Just you wait, Akira!!! For now, she's sufficiently distracted by selecting a piece of yellowtail sushi and parsing a 'yeah, kinda sorta' answer that won't sound like a total copout. How should she put this? ]
Real weird guy, that one. He has these crazy facial scars... and pointy teeth! Like a shark or something. Wild, right?
[ And he has a massive ego, but she's politely not mentioning it. ]
no subject
[who was brave enough to actually ask for it and not just joke around, like Akira had? well. . . apparently, someone he actually knows quite well!]
[with amusement]
Does he call himself the "Bandit King?"
no subject
[ She grumbles, chewing on that piece of sushi with a distinctly petulant furrow of her brows. Boss. Master. Great Bandit King. Mayou's reasonably certain Chobe's inflated self-importance can be seen from space with the naked eye at this point.
At least this yellowtail is nice? Maybe sushi's growing on her a little. ]
But... yeah. You got it in one.
