"Tuiki..." Phyll checked the paper again, the most bare bones information on his date. There was a letter to imply a last name, but I guess they didn't want to have people finding more information on their dates, it wouldn't make it very blind now would it?

It would have been nice if the names came with a pronunciation key. Not that "Phil" could talk.
"Tuikiyama... Wonder if she'd be annoyed if I gave her a nickname..." he said quietly to himself as he scanned the restaurant again. He had held off on ordering wine for the moment, since he would like to pair it with the meat she would choose for dinner. While a Korean BBQ place was not the most upscale place, he liked the freedom it allowed. Pick what veggies you wanted, and meat, and flavour. It was all up to you to cook it, and he found it could be a lot of fun with the right people. Besides that it was fairly upscale, the servers were professional and cheerful, and the dining area was large, clean, and tastefully decorated in... Well he would assume it was Korean. He could not be sure of that.

Man, he really must be worried about getting stood up if he was overthinking the setting like this. Phyll found himself straightening his suit jacket and adjusting his cuffs, a nervous habit, before he scanned the restaurant looking for somebody who seemed at least a little unsure about what they were doing. He really had not thought he would be this nervous!

This whole thing was really out of her element, it probably didn't help that the whole "dating" thing mystified Kiya beyond words. Still there was a job to be done, and she'd let the fox woman talk her into this. The beginning of the evening had gone fairly well. She'd put on the outfit Ayami had picked out, and had even begun making her way to the restaurant when the normal course of her life had happened. Ennis had called her with the news that he was closing in on the devil they'd been hunting, he was a block over from her current location. Of course she'd rushed off to help him, however things had gone awry the moment she'd gotten there. The devil had escaped them, leaving Kiya and Ennis to fight off two of its minions. It had taken the pair over thirty minutes to dispatch the minions, making Kiya fifteen minutes late for meeting her date. In the wake of the battle, Ennis had taken her sword and two of her knives claiming she'd likely scare the poor man she was set to meet.

She finally arrived at the Korean BBQ, looking quiet a bit underdressed than she'd left her apartment looking. Her black lace and velvet shirt had not survived the ichor well, and now exposed her stomach though it didn't smell badly thankfully. Her jeans had ended up shredded through the thighs and down the sides, and her leather boots were a little scuffed now. Still Kiya wasn't the least bit worried about how she appeared, after all she was currently acting as a lure for the devil they'd lost.

Stepping inside the restaurant Kiya looked around the place and found herself slightly alarmed. It was fairly populated with people, that was bad if this devil decided to show up. Her alarmed and slightly confused look searched across the room, she wasn't even sure who she was looking for. Pushing a strand of black and bleached streaked hair out of her face, and then fixing her long ponytail, Kiya found one of the wait staff. The man indicated in the direction of a fairly well dressed guy, causing her to blink a couple of times. Now she was definitely out of place when compared to her date, not that it bothered her in the least. Instead Kiya strolled up to the table and dropped into the chair across the table from him. "Hey there." She put on her best smile, hoping he wasn't going to make too big a deal of the way she looked.


Bottles smashed, I raised my hand
How can you all even stand?
And why is there joy in this poison? Oh
Faking smiles and confidence
Driving miles to capture this excitement
I can't take anymore

You're never gonna get it
I'm a hazard to myself
I'll break it to you easy
This is hell, this is hell
You're looking and whispering
You think I'm someone else
This is hell, yes
I am in hell

Phil looked like a businessman. A businessman with a colourful blue and yellow striped tie, but a businessman with his brown hair kept short and combed. He really did not look half as exciting as his date. Damn, he had not noticed her in time to pull out a chair for her.
“Hello Tuikiyama,” there was no uplift of her name to make it a question, but it was there in the slightly unsure flick of his orange eyes, “glad you made it out, are you alright?”

He could notice a certain amount of damage to her clothes that did not look manufactured for style, nor all that old. He was much more interested in making sure she was alright and what happened then he was in being offended that she was late. He was rarely on time for meetings when he was working, it was wild what unplanned shenanigans would occur.

Kiya laughed softly as she nodded, "Only my parents call me Tuikiyama, just Kiya works better. And you're Phil, right?" After a moment she checked herself over, making sure she had no ichor on herself still. "Oh, I'm fine. Just a last minute bit of business." While Kiya was fairly proud of what she did, and even loved her job, she knew it sometimes wasn't a topic to discuss. Instead she gave the ragged edge of what had been her best shirt a hard look over, well that was why she didn't buy expensive clothing. Instead she glanced around, taking in the smell of the place.

Thankfully Kiya was almost always hungry, which was probably a good thing. Despite her petite frame and slight build, she ate frequently. "Smells good in here." She wasn't familiar with this sort of place, but food was always a good thing.

His smile grew a little warmer, “Kiya, I am such a nickname person, so Phil would be just perfect,” also his full name was sort of usually deadly to say for mortals.

“I know about that, haha, I had to book the whole day off just to be sure I could make it out,” And even then it was a close thing, but he was here for food and fun. Food, right! Kiya mentioned the smell and Phil jumped, looking down to snatch up a menu to pass to her. It was heavy, the covers made of heavy card and wrapped in a soft faux leather dyed a maroon with the restaurant name pressed into the cover.
“so I don't know if you've done this before, but we cook our own food... But there's different arrangements of platter depending on your tastes. I didn't want to be presumptuous and order for you, but there's platters based around common kinds of dishes, or food preferences.”

While Phil spoke he opened his menu and quickly directed her around.
“And I feel like it goes without saying, but dinner is on me since I picked the place out. So don't worry about any of that, same for drinks. I'm a wine man myself but you can have whatever you like. A friend of mine gets bear and cooks with it, for example.” Phil laughed and shook his head, what a card, also it had definitely not been him no way.

(( Example Menu if you want to use it. ))

In her business there was no such thing as a day off, if all three of them weren't on the clock things were too chaotic to handle. Instead Kiya laughed, "I'm glad, because I really couldn't figure out how to begin to pronounce your name." She really wasn't the least bit embarrassed to say that, which gave away her nature more than Ennis would have like. "Honestly, a few hours is the most the others could spare me." She took the offered menu and looked it over several times, trying to decide which sounded best. "So...we cook our own right?" She'd never been to something like this, at least not on her own. After all Ennis wasn't a stupid man, and he knew better than to simply allow Kiya to play with fire and knives unsupervised; clearly he hadn't checked this out much. "Mmm...squid." She murmured to herself as she looked it over.

Kiya had to admit that she was a bit surprised that he was paying for the meal. She and Ennis had assumed she'd pay for her own food, while Ayami had insisted that was out of custom. "Oh, are you sure?" She frowned slightly, showing her lack of knowledge with dating norms. Still Kiya wasn't about to argue with him, especially not when it seemed he was serious. Shrugging her shoulders, Kiya scanned it once more. "Then I guess I'd like the squid with mushrooms, and a Taro bubble tea." She couldn't afford to drink anything that might impair her abilities to fight well, still a little wine sounded nice. Smiling some, Kiya remembered that she'd tried to cook with beer once before, it had been a pretty big disaster on her part, then again she really couldn't cook. "I won't dream of trying to do that." She was also laughing at the thought.

"Yeah, my name is an oddball, I would suggest not even trying, haha. Phil is great for me, Kiya."
He had been surprised when he saw his full name on the form. Had anyone been hurt saying it? At least it was the mortal alphabet, and not in his native languages alphabet. Whoo boy! Actual disaster.

Phil looked up from his menu, eyebrows raised.
"If you want to pay for it, you may, but I'm happy to pay for it. Whatever you're most comfortable with, I just... Hmm..." Phil considered his words carefully, "I think experiences that are new or challenging much easier when I don't need to worry about the cost. So new restaurant, new person, it's easier to enjoy when you don't need to pay for that experience."

He was glad she was just picking stuff out, though squid... It was hard to cook.
"I'll get pork strips, onion, mushrooms, and perhaps... Pepper, red pepper. Maybe two servings of pork. If you're not drinking, I'll have a single glass of red." He stuck his tongue out at the list of them though, "Whatever the waiter recommends, haha."

With the food plan out of the way, "So I only have you for a few hours? I'll take what you can offer. What are you doing that keeps you so busy?"
