Entering the restaurant, everyone was inside already. Umichi looked in, and could see that it seemed there was concern over Suki. Walking over, he could see she said something, she gave off a slight melancholic expression to him, before she shrugged. He could hear her say "Its nothing, really, don't worry." with a smile. Seeing that little bit of melancholy, he felt he needed to do something for her, but he didn't know what this was all about. Instead of approaching them, he handed in the quest first.

Closing the window, [i]Well, that's all nice and all, but what about Suki. What can I do for her?[/i] was all he could think. Walking over to the table, "So what are you guys talking about?" he asked, getting a chair out to sit down. Getting a message from someone else he read it. It was nothing important. Just a casual greeting to check up. One of the people when he was in line, wanted to compete. He had just reached 7, and seemed to be boasting. Umichi laughed in his head a little, replying with a short message. "Level 9 =P". Realising he could have a more private conversation with Suki this way, he decided to send one to her to ask her about what she said earlier.

Umichi sent the following message. "Suki, is something wrong? Did something happen? You looked sad for a brief moment when I came in. If there is anything I can do to help, please let me know. Did you know you've given me a reason to stay here? If it wasn't for you, I probably would be just charging into the dungeon and trying to clear the game as fast as possible. With that I might be gone already. I still want to clear the game now, but, I want to be able to enjoy it, with you. So if there's something wrong, please tell me."

"Sorry about that, just someone I met briefly PMed me. Anyway, have you decided what to eat yet?" he turned to the group after sending the messages. "I wonder if we will party with a blacksmith at some point. The quest in Citadel I want to do is interesting, and will get us quite a bit of exp." he explained his reason for wanting a black smith and why he wanted to go Citadel.
