As the tram stopped, mercifully gently, the student group had filed out. He had waited until most everyone had gotten off before moving.<em>No need for more.. accidents,</em>he thought, noting the little looks the two girls had shot him as they moved.<em>Great, now I'm the local 'sukebe' to these two. Of course the Brazilian gets off easy..</em>he chided himself as he stepped off the tram.<br/><br/>In the slight milling about of the girls and the small cell of boys, he saw Zaraki-san beginning to walk away, after speaking with a local.<em>Was he trying to impress someone?</em>Alfred thought, and looked to Takeda-san for incoming guidance. He knew nothing of the area, so it would be wise to stay with the group for the moment.<br/><br/>Arriving at the restaurant, he was relieved to be so efficiently served by the staff, once again his head on a swivel, taking in the sights of the place. He was secretly glad the girls ha had bumped into were sitting at another table entirely, but that was quickly changed as Takeda-san sat beside him. It was weird: he felt like he had stepped into an anime movie, every time he looked at her.<br/><br/>A waitress came over, and Takeda-san made our group order with seemingly practiced accuracy and speed.

He had enough presence to not look her in the eye for very long, though. "I.. um.. I play chess, and videogames.." he started, silently kicking himself for that. It made him sound so.. immature. "I also.. practice.. swordsmanship, and I do a lot of.. archery. I believe the words for them are..<em>kendo</em>, and<em>kyudo</em>, right?" he said, with a small grin fighting its way out to his lips.<em>I really need to get over this if I'm going to study here..</em>he thought as he waited for her response.
