Konnichiwa, Finn-san

[Muramasa]

"It's amusing, right? The places we can wake up in suddenly. And here I thought those times would be over as we aged. I'm partly as clueless as you are, but I've been told we're in... America Freeport. Right next to Liberty border."

He let the silence help with the next bite. He didn't sip from the glass of water since their conversation had begun. Damn, this guy feels like a box full of surprises, hah?

"Whatever, judging on your opinion about research and monetizing, I'm inclined to think we are almost... on the same page, mister McCool. Trust me when I say that I'm sure you will like our on-going projects. It's just up to signing a few papers, or a toast, if you prefer."

Hideo motioned at the robotender, ordering a cup of sake to match Finn's whiskey for the sake of aiming for the toast. Finn's order was served together with the sake minutes later, leaving him enough time for further meditation.

"Feeling better now, mister McCool? Perhaps you may want to sip some water before we celebrate your possible addition to the Company with this meal and a toast after?"
