It'd been years since the Cadet had been at the age where he'd stutter and blush when a pretty girl looked his way, but the kiss Nadia placed on his cheek still almost short circuited his brain. Though Nadia was more forward than what he was used to, it still came as a surprise. A pleasant one, of course. It seemed there was still some red coloring on his face, even after Blazermate had graciously healed him. The Cadet matched Nadia's smile with a bright one of his own before following the feral back into the thick of the group.

Now that Sakura and Karin's battle was over, it was time for the Seekers to move on. First was finishing up those dinner plans, and it appeared that everyone was of the same mind. Karin was even planning to join them after she some business she had to taken care of, which seemed like it might take a while if the list of things she was bringing up was anything to go off of. Either way it was great news. It was good to see Sakura so happy for her friend as well. Geralt had come over for some light conversation and mentioned it didn't sound good, but the words "strike" and "cannon" sounded pretty cool to the Cadet. [color=salmon]"I think it sounds like it'd be useful,"[/color] he laughed. [color=salmon]"I hope she finds it!"[/color]

Everything else seemed more or less settled. While everyone was wrapping up the Ace Cadet fetched his armor. His treasure trove was easy enough to dump into his own cache, as it was all small save for the radio and the chest itself. He left the shell speaker where it was, still playing music. The rest was coming along with him. If it was really as valuable as Ms. Fortune made it out to be, he'd certainly be sharing, but that would come later. With some directions from Ishizaki, the crew got going to the restaurant. 

The establishment's aesthetic was very cool, with the open courtyard and the plant life. With orange sky overheard and a soft breeze, it was a delightful place. And, thankfully, there was space enough for all of them out there. Once everyone was seated, and fore-warned about a staff issue, they began to settle in. The Cadet glanced over the menu. With as large a group as the Seekers, their orders were going to put strain on the kitchen either way, so his usual order of 'everything' would just add more on top of that. So this time he'd actually choose some things, but it was hard when everything sounded so good. One choice was easy though, which was the beverage. The place was called "Rum for Ale," so of course we went for the rum. 

He'd stuck his nose back into the menu after Cerberus bounced off to get the other drink orders, but after hearing Blazermate's suggestion for entertainment he peeked over the menu's edge. Not to try and dampen the medabot's enthusiasm, but he had to at least try and counter her idea for his own peace of mind.

[color=salmon]"Party tricks are probably beneath their level,"[/color], he said hurriedly. At the very least he knew Kamek was some kind of advisor to her king, so she wasn't at the level of a court jester or something like that. It was a weak argument, but he went on. [color=salmon]"Besides, I bet our newcomers are as Quru- er, [i]curious[/i] about us as we are about them. We could just get to know each other better!"[/color] After all it'd been barely an hour since they'd met Rubick and Susie, and barely a day since meeting Karin (for most of them, though the person in question wasn't actually present at the moment). He wasn't seated particularly close to the casters so if they did start a magic show he could at least focus on something else in the mean time. The restaurant itself, the menu, Nadia when she got back, or strike a conversation with those on his side of the table if they weren't too enthralled.
