[ He shares openly, sensing there's a reason Nishikiyama asks, but not sure what part really interests him. Mine doesn't say how much more of his afternoon will be taken up by that meeting, for example. Details are imprecise, but mostly innocuousβ ]
[ Nishikiyama remains equally vague and, stranger than before, he's not as obsessed with the mention of Hiyoshi. He laces his fingers together beneath his chin, resting it on the webbing. ]
[ He tries to gauge the response for something that asks him to elaborate on specifics. Nishikiyama doesn't clearly say, or even subtextually, and Mine stays without leaning forward or back in his chair. Not his entire day. ]
[ Their food arrives after he says so, each plate set down across from them. The waitress leaves with a polite bow, but Nishikiyama isn't assed to even notice. ]
[ Mine's much too focused on his answer as well, eagerness burns in his eyes. After a moment he takes fork and knife, like automated, but even then he doesn't start on his meal. ]
Alright, I'll make sure of that.
[ Everything about his invitation seems tensile. ]
