Haruka winced at the man as Benji went silent. "Benji, it isn't like that--" "A...waiter? Is that honestly how you speak to the part owner of this establishment?" the man's face darkened, "We don't need your money badly enough to be disrespected in such a way. You can show yourself the door, Lieutenant." the man said. Haruka shot a glare at Hikari before she tried to make amends. "Jiji, he didn't mean it like that. I'm sure it was just a very, very bad joke...right, Lieutenant?" she looked at Hikari and urged him to just play along.

[I]Looks like the guy can dish it out but not take it, typical[/I], Hikari said as the man continued talking. They obviously didn't need nor want his money in the first place if the first impression he gave was acting as if Hikari didn't exist, so his words didn't faze him in the slightest. The man obviously disrespected him first, it was like someone stabbing you then getting upset because you stabbed them back. Of course it was a bit childish the back and forth, but Hikari was never really known to be mature on off time either. He saw the glare Haruka gave before she began speaking, obviously trying to make peace. Hikari rubbed the back of his neck with a nervous chuckles, "Uh, Y-Yes, a bad joke! I'm terrible with them, Haruka knows that. They either come off too serious, or I joke about the wrong things. Apologizes if I offended you, it was never my intention." Hikari then gave a bow.
