Interlude

Leana: *arrives at the luncheon with Virto and Lalu* It's been so long since we did this together.

Virto: Yeah, I guess we have all been busy with...things. *Thinks about Vargas and blushes as he sits down*

Lalu: Soft things…. *does the same with Issia* ...does feel nice to be black again. Less acne.

Leana: Things in...small packages… *thinks about Mortoii*

Virto: Yep. So, did we all bring food or…

Lalu: Right, yeah uhh, Issia made me a sandwich

Virto and Leana: *start at Lalu*

Lalu: What? We get our food from the castle. Besides, She knows I like sandwiches.

Virto: Well, I have been eating lots of fruit ever since I've been "going out". Yokai have a lot of offerings being given. Shame you can only keep food fresh for so long…

Leana: So you went Vegetarian?

Virto: Oh no, I just help eat our way through the food at the Minka. I still eat my fair share of proteins and sucrose….

Leana: Oh. I just thought, since your skin actually has color now, and you know...you're talking…

Virto: I get it I was a shut-in ;-;

Lalu: You know what? I think I might, if I see any more human guts from bounty hunts…*bites into the sandwich* So, how's college?

Leana: Alright. *Takes out a tupperware bowl full of pasta.* How's vocational school?

Lalu: *Gives a thumbs up* I got my certification. Not like I'm gonna be using it as much as I thought.

Virto: Nice, but uhh Leana...what are you gonna do with your degree? Now that you're married and all.

Leana: I'll figure something out. *Takes out a fork* If worst comes to worst, I can always just make a small garden in our backyard. Like your brother did Lao, with his house and all.

Virto: I like Ola, his house is empty. *takes out a banana* And quiet, and fully paid for and on private property.

Lalu and Leana: Hiding from the government?

Virto: Hiding from the government.

Leana: To be fair, you prove that interdimensional travel was possible. Speaking of which, I should get back to my adventure at some point…

Lalu: Be careful out there, you do have a bun in the oven, amirite Virto? *shoulders him*

Virto: *whistles innocently…..*

Lalu: …..Dude aren't you both guys?

Leana: Exactly how much did I miss before I knew about...all of this?

Virto: A-a lot. Me and Vargy agreed that uhh, it would be nice…I mean you say "homiesexual" all the time!

Lalu: I'm talking about my niggas from work though. And I'm not fucking them I'm just joking around!

Virto: *Sighs* …..Is it really that bad?

Lalu: Nah, it just caught my off guard. Guess you can do anything with enough spirit energy. *takes another bite of my sandwich* Is he cute?

Virto: She actually!

Leana: Awww, a daughter! What's her name?

Virto: I'm thinking of using a name from the periodic table! Maybe Francia or….

Leana and Lalu: *Stares at him with poker faces*

Virto: What?

Leana: Lao, explain to this idiot.

Lalu: That sounds lame bro.

Virto: Just trust me. *winks* I'll make it work.
