Elric looked as Mikoto suggested to use the rest room engrossed in his story he shook his head slightly and looked at the girls together nodding. “I guess it’s that time again. . .” making  a slightly sarcastic remark about the ladies standing up. As Bry looked at him Elric placed his hand on the back of her thigh as she stood discretely. It was only there for a brief moment as they stared at each other before she swayed herself out of his grip towards the rest room. He saw both women, Mikoto and Bry shift their pace together as they walked. Bry, always coy, turns to give one final flirtatious moment of bliss. Her face had “you know you want me” written all over it.<br/><br/>“Ahhh they are beautiful aren’t they?” Elric said taking a sip of his drink setting it back down shortly after. “That is quite the catch you’ve got there” Elric said tipping his invisible hat to him. Elric looked down at his menu with his hand on his chin. He flipped the page shifting his head to the other side studying it intensively. Elric mumbled to himself” . . . stuffed shells. . . .  lasagna? Pasta… “ in a questioning manner.” Fuck if I know” Elric said “She will like that . .” he said pointing to the menu and closing it. “Have you decided? “ Elric lengthened his neck looking around for a waiter. He saw one catch his eye as he made eye contact waving, almost seemingly impatient but just hungry. “ I will have the pork chop laboute, and she will have the stuffed shells.” Elric folded the menu and smiled at the waiter. As he handed back his menu a small bill lay tucked between his fingers.<br/><br/>“Where are those women, “ Elric looked around and then back to Arch “Getting to know each other” Elric said using his fingers as quotation marks. Elric got a small chuckle even though if his jokes were crude and simple, he got a kick out of them. Elric pulled out a cigarette quickly and started to inhale deeply and quickly. Elric seemed slightly paranoid as he did so. “Bry doesn’t let me smoke, let me know if you see her.” Elric peeked around his shoulder as he took another quick hit. Elric wanted more so he kept it lit, trying to suck it down before she got back. He checked his pocket for mints but he knew she was going to smell it. It was worth a try, Elric said in his head as he took a drag offering one to Arch.<br/>
