His finger felt warm against her own, comforting and soothing a tension in her she hadn't even realized was there. He told her about a storm he'd seen last week and she smiled imagining it in her minds eye. "it'd be nice to see a storm like that, the buildings usually block the view back in Chicago." She remarked idly feeling a sense of calm settle over her. She was here, and things were going just fine, no one was about to come and rip it all away from her, she had nothing to worry about.<br/><br/>His question about her family caused her to laugh lightly shaking her head. "I told them I was leaving and there were mixed opinions." She said with a light chuckle, "My mom, she was the one who helped convince me to come to the resort the first time, she thought it would be good for me, get out of my shell I guess." She said pausing for a moment the image of her mom coming to mind, her silver streaked hair and laughing eyes, "i told her I was coming here to work and I don't think I've ever seen her look so happy, nor pleased with herself." She said again with another chuckle. "My dad thinks this is all some youthful excursion, something I need to get out of my system. He's rather...old fashioned, I don't think he really approves but he gave me his blessing just the same. Though he might of been afraid of mom refusing to cook for him if he didn't." She said again laughing lightly, "and my brother older only comment was that now he couldn't visit to get his freak on because that would just be weird'" She quoted with a light roll of her eyes though it was clear she had a great deal of love for him. "And Lin..." She paused thinking about Lin who was even more old world then her father, "He just knows I took a job with a resort, I'm pretty sure he would disown me if he knew the type of resort. No one else would dare tell him either." She said and there was a hint of sadness in her voice for having to lie to him.<br/><br/>"What did your family think when you told them?" She asked tilting her head up to look at him as they entered the restaurant. The light changed from the soft sunlight to the harsh artificial light. Aki paused for beat but there seemed to be no one about so with a shrug went to find a table looking about for a waitress as they moved threw the room to take a seat. Aki picked a table that had a view of the kitchen and sat so she was facing it a smile of amusement just touching her lips as her keen eyes picked up little details she would need to address. Water spots on the silverware and glasses, dust on the light fixtures, little things in other eyes but for a perfectionist like she it was a Big Deal.
