maid day mayday;

[ just how this is the first quest that he's picked up is anyone's guess.. actually, it's all stelle's fault, thanks stelle. it's just so difficult to say no to her!!

and with her help, dan heng is now.. well. he's a maid. face flushed and eyes averted, dan heng tugs at the skirt of his dress which is, by his estimation, far too short. the stockings don't help. are they supposed to be so clingy and itchy? from beneath the skirt his long dragon tail extends, its tufted tip snapping back and forth in mild irritation. the things he does for friends. and apparently for money, in this case.

adjusting his apron, dan heng sighs. so.. now what? how long does he have to endure this in order to get the payout? surely stelle will insist that he remains this way all night, but he's a good friend, and he endures all the photos she wants to take without (much) complaint. after that, he gets himself a drink from the bar - one single beer, because apparently they don't have anything non-alcoholic here - and slides onto a barstool, chin in hand, his tail swept around the stool to keep it out of the way. he's minding his own business!! but then comes a wolf whistle from somewhere beside him, and dan heng shoots an icy glare in the direction of the offender, though he can't tell who in the group is the culprit. ]

Mind your business, and I'll mind mine.

everybody's grudge;

[ okay thank the aeons he is back in his usual clothing!! the maid dress was, admittedly, very pretty, but it was also very constricting, and it made him feel incredibly silly!

stalking down a target is much more his speed. thankfully, this tonberry creature should be relatively easy to spot, given its size and appearance, though animal hybrid people are quite common here, perhaps it won't be as easy as he's expecting.. of course, a shriek from a small crowd is all it takes to grab dan heng's attention. the tonberry is exactly as described, lantern in one hand, knife in the other. ]

Get back!

[ the crowd disperses quickly, and thankfully the tonberry, in its incredible slowness, takes its time to move, and cannot catch up to any of the runners. lifting one hand, dan heng summons a ball of water, preparing, as he glances toward his partner in tonberry slaying. ]

We should try to keep distance, if we can. Are you ready?

[ A genuine smile graces her lips at the answer. She's well aware of how much grief she and March put Dan Heng through, but she never wants to truly make him uncomfortable, so she's happy to know he didn't have a terrible time. ]

You pick next time.

[ They can do a mission he prefers next time. Taking turns, as is custom on the Astral Express. ]

[menhulu]

[ well, that nice smile of hers makes up for his distress, he supposes. he's not sure that he would make a habit of this maid cafe business, but.. it was certainly an experience. dan heng nods, taking another mouthful of his drink. ]

Mm. I'll keep that in mind. Thank you for the invitation, at least.

[ she thought of him, even if it was, you know, for a maid cafe.... ]

[misstellaron]

[ It was just a one time mission, thankfully, so as long as the mission doesn't pop up again he doesn't have to worry about being forced to put on a maid dress any time soon. Stelle got plenty of pictures during this one time, so she's more than satisfied.

Still, she's amused at how easily he bends for her and March. ]

You can always say no, you know. I won't be mad.

[ March might pout and kick up a fuss, but Stelle doesn't usually. Not unless she was feeling particularly cheeky that day. ]

[menhulu]

I know.

[ and even if she did kick up a fuss, he'd know that she didn't really mean it, that she wouldn't really be angry. but dan heng nevertheless puts up with a lot for stelle and march, and he will continue to do so, because he's fond of them, and likes to see them happy. ]

It wasn't too bad.

[ the stockings are itchy, but otherwise.. it was nice just to spend some time with her. ]

[misstellaron]

So if I asked you to wear the outfit again, would you?

[menhulu]

For what purpose?

[misstellaron]

Because it's cute? It looks good on you.

[ That is not a shit-eating grin on her face. It's 100% genuine, she really means it!

...okay there might be an element of shit-eating to it. ]

[menhulu]

[ yeah no he sees that little flash of shit-eatery. ]

.. I'll hold onto it. But no promises.

[misstellaron]

Good.

[ It'll come into play again, somehow. No idea how, but it will. She's keeping her outfit too, because it's a nice one. Somehow, hers will come into play as well.

But for now, it's time to chill after a day of hard work. ]
