Seth turned around to face Iris. He checked for the sister and shrugged. "Sure, why not? Where to?"
"Grapevine," came the voice of Sho's sister as she popped up. "My treat. Why? Because my brother needs moral support and I'll be glad to help." Seth raised an eyebrow at the girl. "You hardly know us to know if we are friends with him." "Yeah, but he had a picture of you and this other guy in his wallet in that worn down trenchcoat of his." She smiled. "So I knew you guys were friends at one time. And considering you care about the fact I may be bringing enemies over, that settles that you won't attack the poor boy." "Okay, but then why would going to Grapevine help him?" "Becuase he works there." There was a pause as Seth tried to comprehend the though of Sho working. "How?" "Chef, currently a waiter." She stuck her tongue out. "So, shall we go? You too, sir. I owe you for helping me out yesterday." The last part was to Iris. Ran could really talk when she wanted to. "And I won't take no for an answer." She dragged them in the direction of the resturuant before either could refuse.
The fact that Sho evidently had a picture of Iris in his wallet (?), combined with the sudden appearance of Ran, threw the boy off, so he didn't even realize he was going somewhere until Ran had grabbed Seth and Iris' hands and run off to the Grapevine. cheese_whine When he regained his tongue (which was about the time they were sitting down in the restaurant), the hacker managed to say, "I didn't really do that much yesterday."
/Good grief, I sound like a dating sim. One of those really geeky guys. Like Shinji Ikari. C'mon, it's Sho's sister. SHO'S sister. The guy who stabs people in the leg down flights of stairs for apparently no reason's sister... so sit up and pretend to be charming! Like - like Zelios or something./ The next thought that came to mind, naturally, was: /And that's really appropriate, since she is treating me to food, which is what Zelio's conquests usually do.../ Next thought: /Moron, she's not a conquest!/
At this point, Iris stopped contemplating what to do altogether and, thankfully, returned to being his usual self.

Dahlia headed down to the docks to walk around a bit. This was the last anyone ever saw of her. (Well, no, not really, but she's taking a five-minute break. Smoking. Snarfing french fries. I don't know.)
I really have no idea where that post came from... Iris' mind is a dangerous place. Zelios (Zelos?) is from Tales of Symphonia...
