*Due to some unexpected interruption, Sirdan was unable to meet up with Hu Lang about the hiring of Orphiel - Or it canonically occured after that trip in the restaurant. Who know what he did.*

*Sirdan popped into Hu Lang's restaurant, heading toward the nearest waitress that appears - or Hu Lang herself* 

"Hello! Where's Hu Lang? I got business to talk with her"
John
*A brown haired Oriate spots Sirdan, bowing once she sees the elf.*

"Hello, Sirdan-san. Ms. Hua is right this way."

*It seems that Hu Lang's taught her summons to memorize the elf's name. He did come here twice already.*

*The oriate brings Sirdan to the bar, where she's pouring some silvery alcohol into a cup.*

"Enjoy! Oh, hi Sirdan-San! How may I help you today?"
James
*He winked at her and strided forth.* 

"Was going to ask you for a date - but I have important business." 

*He giggled.* 

"I came back from Keguntan with a Pale Oni chef. Her name's Orphiel, and she made a lot of delicious Runran food back. I recommended she follow me to Salvainia and look for work - because it is more lucrative here and there's plenty of people around."

"I was wondering if you would like to hire or interview her. If you want, I can bring her here within a few days - maybe today if she's ready."
John
*The oriate's tail wags once Sirdan mentions a date, but her ears perk up once she hears possibilities of a new employee.*

"Oh? Runran cuisine? This is perfect, I've needed more employees ever since I expanded!"

"I'll just judge her skill and how good the food tastes, then introduce her to the menu. I might even incorporate some more foods into it."

"Just a little worried about the Oni part. Not for my sake, but for hers. Oni aren't exactly liked in certain places."
James
*He nodded.*

"She was commandeering a rather big salary - I think it was almost twenty-two silver a day when she asked me. I am not sure if she can provide that value - maybe some sort of internship - like, she get a regular salary early on and if she proves herself to be worth that much, a promotion." 

*He nods.*

"The food there was great - I think it was a strange thing called Pho, a broth that was delicious, and she added her own chicken stir fry if I recalled to the menu."

*He grinned.*

"This is a city full of elves and all kind of weirdos. Not exactly liked sure, but this district is one of the more affluent and cosmopolitan. Just one problem though... She is a bit short."
John
"Twenty two? That's a lot. I definitely can't afford that at the start."

*Hu Lang raises an eyebrow at the mention of the foods Orphiel had cooked.*

"Ah, Southern Runran? It's a bit easy to make stir fry-I'll need to test her skill with something a bit more challenging."

"Oh, short? Shouldn't be too much of a problem... Unless someone decides to mess with her. Will you be able to stick around close by? Recently I've been getting some bad feelings as well, particularly from Brayers for some reason."
James
*Sirdan cracked his hands together.* 

"Mhm - She can tell you more about the food she make when she is here." 

*He nodded.*

"I am usually busy at New Sunlight training newbies or assigning quests nowaday. Have to earn my keep anyhow. Today is my free day, so I can stick around close by - I'll bring a few books with me to read if you have a well lit lounge you can stick me in."
John
"Oh, damn. Guess I'll have to take up an old hobby of mine."

"Well, today seems alright. Dinner tonight? I can have Hana prepare us something."

*Hu Lang's tail visibly wags back and forth, silver fur becoming a blur behind her.*

"And maybe do something else afterward?"
James
"Yes of course, as long as you don't mind my reputation." *He chuckled.* 

"I'd love to prepare the meal alongside you - but I am sure I am no match for you when it come to culinary prowess... Still, let me contribute to the dinner one day." 

*Sirdan nodded.*

"You can come visit my house afterward if you like - She is living there for now in one of my spare room. But it will be us time." *He winked.*
