'Yeah, both of us at once,' Ketsu elaborated, 'let's see what we can do to her if we work together.' Apparently, Mika had chosen to chat with the woman running the counter whilst her boyfriend was out with Grant... and from the look she had on her face as he approached, Himehana was already getting excited. Or, maybe it was left over from her conversation with the shopkeeper. Either way.

'Why, hello there, Miss Himehana-san,' Ketsu greeted her cordially, bowing politely as he mixed the prefixes and suffixes of two different languages together. Multiculturalism or something, his mother was always interested in that. 'Or should I say [i]Mrs.[/i] Himehana-san, if you're lucky enough to have married your partner already? I couldn't help but notice you chatting to my associate and superior officer, a Mr. Grant... Wesley.' Bugger, he'd nearly forgotten the guy's surname. He hoped his mental slipup wasn't too obvious.

'And, well,' he continued, putting a bit more surety and suaveness into his voice to cover his hesitation, 'I supposed that if he is willing to engage in conversation with a... well, they don't call you "Flower Princess" for nothing, beauteous as you evidently are - then reasonably, I ought to talk to you as well, to see what caught his interest so - though I say again, that is perhaps as obvious as your great fame.' And yet he had no idea what any of her songs were about. T'was never his interest to listen to music save in passing, let alone J-pop.

'If you don't mind me introducing myself, I am Bisuto Ketsu. I'm sure my friend here is more than able to take credit for herself, if she so wishes,' he concluded, glancing over to Yuno to confirm his words. Or, if not, then whatever worked for her. It hardly mattered either way; the goal wasn't to make friends, but to see just how intensely the idol reacted to flirtatious behaviour when simple conversation apparently got her going rapidly. If nothing else, it'd perhaps give him an idea of how well his facade of humanity was holding up.
