[ tea is nice— it's perfect for satiating one's mind, and it's a common conversational tool; despite its inefficiency to settle break's mind, it's at least tasty and, of course, his go-to excuse for having a chat with people. it's also classy— unfortunately, though break might give off the appearance of class, it's something he lacks.

maybe that's why he's taken over a whole corner of the plaza to himself— though not intended for use of himself only, as he was waiting for a guest. should the guest arrive, they would be presented with the view of a table that looked a tad different from how your normal café tables within vatheon appeared— in fact, it stands out quite a bit!

sitting on one end as if this were entirely normal is the most abnormal man alive— smiling, as if he were perfectly normal.

but normality is so overrated, normally— wouldn't you agree?

let's be mad this afternoon. ]

Don't call him a specimen. [Her voice is a growl, a tone of warning.] You don't know anything—anything, about him or me.

What I wanna hear, who I am...

You don't know anything!

[Except that's clearly not true. Clearly he's pushed some buttons already...and the fact he can sense anything at all about her Persona is pretty telling.

...But she won't admit it. She can't.]

[nonsensical]

[ he really only called minato that to spite her, so he's grinning like an idiot at how well that worked. he sets down the bowl of sugar cubes against the table's surface once again with the lightest of thuds, only to pick up his cup of tea once more. he tosses a few of those sugar cubes into the tea itself this time, picking up an antique spoon to stir it with in a less than elegant manner— the sound of repeatedly hitting glass as he stirs. ]

Repetition will not persuade me to the same denial that you have achieved, Miss Yukari.

[1/2]

[tsundyne]

[The clinking sounds from the stirring of his drink do nothing to calm her. In fact, it may even annoy her even more; but at this point, she can tell he's getting more and more satisfied with her reaction.

Ugh. The best thing she can do is to not get worked up about this kind of thing, isn't it? How else is she going to think rationally...

Get out of this?]

[2/2]

[tsundyne]

[Suddenly, she wonders if there's anything to get out of at all. Heh, things like the kraken, not to mention being a part of the Defense Force...

In a sense, plenty of people are already aware of their abilities here. Certainly not everyone--but definitely more than back at home. and though she hates giving in, perhaps there is something to be done here after all.

Some opening...]

So you really want to see her that badly?

[nonsensical]

[ oh, well now we're getting somewhere— she wasn't denying it anymore! ...and was this an offer to actually show him what she had hiding? well— ]

I highly doubt the plaza is the time and place for such a thing, Miss Yukari— but thank you very much for admitting it!

[ a clink as he sets down his teacup. he leans in from where he's sitting on the table toward yukari's seating; the table isn't very long, either, so he's able to stop just a foot's distance from her face— undoubtedly casting a bit of a shadow over her. he seems really pleased, if facial expression alone is anything to go by. ]

I would still very much like to discuss Mister Minato with you, however.

[tsundyne]

[Hahahahaha—

No. Words. NO WORDS for how much that infuriates her. Oh my gosh, she could kill him, or at the very least punch him in the face. It's a lucky thing for him that he's actually right, about the plaza. She'd thought the same thing, after all; but a reminder, no matter how nasty, never hurt anyone.

She shoves her chair back to put more distance in between them, because personal space is something she happens to value.]

Yeah? ["Too bad."] What about him?

[Still looks pretty angry, obviously. He'll need a lot of luck to get her to answer...well, anything else.]

[nonsensical]

[ he wants to ask something along the lines of 'you've never noticed?' to dig the knife in deeper, as her irritation is very clear, and people talk more when they're flustered. but! he really doesn't have any further interest in yukari for now, sans for her reaction post hence. yukari might have distanced herself from him, and she might be ready to finish this farce— but her chesspiece won't be leaving the board until he knocks it off. ]

He is not among the living.

[tsundyne]

[He doesn't have to ask, to dig the knife in deeper. His words are already enough, as is obvious from her flabbergasted expression. Yukari never has been good at hiding her emotions, and it's been ages since she's thought about Minato and his fate...

This is hardly the way she wanted to be reminded.]

...

Did he tell you that?

1/2

[nonsensical]

[ oh well that catches his attention. really, really wasn't expecting that, of all the information to accidentally acquire—

'did he tell you that?'

why would she say that...? was she taking him literally, when he meant this in a purely figurative sense? in that case it meant that somewhere in this odd little group of childrens' timeline, mister minato was deceased.

HM. ]

[nonsensical]

Not at all! It's written all over his face, you see. [ break taps at his temple, red eye narrowing once more. he won't be attempting to get anything further out of yukari for now; especially considering they would most probably spin the wheel of denial once more— round and round until one of them surrendered to the other, and it most certainly would not be break. ]

Where is he, I wonder...? [ and he does so wonder in more than a single way, now. ] Perhaps it is an inquiry I should propose to him myself.

[ break sits up, adjusting himself fully to the right edge of the table in the process, and thereby closer to yukari once more. he picks up a nearby fork, popping one last piece of vanilla iced confectionary into his mouth before adjusting his sleeve— ]

Good day, Miss Yukari! I thank you so kindly for your company this afternoon.

[ with that, he reaches forward to catch yukari's hand with his own, offering it a single kiss with a smile.

he lets go immediately after, giving a slight wave before gripping the edge of the table with both hands. ]

Be seeing you!! ♥ [ his tone is a far cheerier voice than before; and with a laugh he lets himself fall backwards off the table, legs kicking up as he ducks beneath the tablecloth headforemost— it's quite a comedical representation of a backflip, but it gets the job done.

he's disappeared from sight quite well beneath both table and tablecloth by now— yukari should know well enough by now what she would find if she looked. ]

[tsundyne]

[Oh ew. Ew ew ew.

She's immediately getting the sense that she's said something she wasn't supposed to. Always saying what's on her mind, she's got to learn some restraint sometimes...restraint on her emotions, keeping them under control. It doesn't help when Break moves to kiss her hand; she flinches and tries to pull away, disgusted, but he releases it before she can even manage.]

H-Hey, wait!

[She reaches after him, as she sees him duck beneath the table, knowing what comes next...

And is left staring, flabbergasted once again, as she stands up abruptly.

She sighs, and looks under the table anyway, despite knowing what she'll find (nothing); and after confirming that he's gone, she sits back down with a shake of her head.

...It certainly didn't feel like they were done talking, but...maybe this is for the best. She decides to finish the rest of her tea, utterly annoyed, before leaving.

Xerxes Break.

Not a name she plans to forget any time soon.]
