Her compliment

"Pardon?"

Ryuu was at a loss for words. Lauren slapped his master? "Quite a bold woman, but at least she is loyal. I am glad you chose the right one" Keiji poured the liquor into his glass. "Ah, I am sorry on her behalf" Promptly, Ryuu bowed. Causing Keiji to laugh out loud. "I don't mind!"

"But-" "She did what she should. It is a shame I did not get to meet her earlier" Somehow, Keiji's choices in words hushed down the man. Met her earlier? Did that mean he had taken an interest in Lauren? Was it a wrong decision to let them meet? Ryuu pondered.

"She is not feeling well today. Is it okay if we return right now?" Ryuu asked out loud. Using the excuse the woman gave. "Sure. I knew this kind of excuse would come up" A soft chuckle escaped between Keiji's lips. "Thank you, master" Ryuu bowed his head as gratitude.

He then waited for L in the car.
