Naturally the room that Saeki has claimed for himself. He has kept the theme much like he is used to at home, with the exception that this Futon is a permanent fixing. The colors are on the darker side but warm and there are no appliances or electronics other than a clock, making it the perfect environment to fall asleep.
Master Bathroom:
The bathroom that is mostly used by only Saeki. It's spacious and there are several oils and fragrances about. They are mementos from home and he is regularly sent a new batch.
Office:
Mostly an empty room since he uses it to for self training and keeping up with his Kendo when he can't do so outside.
Second Living Room:
The living room that has all the entertainment. It has a television, several consoles and radio. Saeki doesn't really watch much television nor does he play many games. So he kept this for when he has people over.
Bedroom:
Kept simple but clean. The rooms are hardly touched so far since Saeki just came to Soleil. Nor does he expect to need them, but it's better to be prepared.
Bedroom:
See above
Bathrooms:
The bathrooms for the guests. Luxurous but quite simple.
Living Room:
The room where Saeki relaxes when by himself. It is more focused on relaxing and calm than anything. It is also one of his favorite places to meditate. The table has almost always incense burning on it.
Kitchen:
His kitchen where he spends enough time experimenting with recipes. Though it is mainly for cooking his meals as he likes to be outside as long as weather allows.

"Yes, it is. I don't have any other form of transportation really. No driver's license or anything. Perhaps it is time I would look into it." he replied to the other's question and smiled gently before leading them outside of the aquarium and through the streets to his house. Saeki didn't mind having the other in his house at all. The young man just hoped it would all go well in Lumiere considering. Patrick saw his address though and he didn't seem to object to it so it should be fine. It took a while to get to the house as it was in the most fancy district, but it gave them time to get to know each other a bit more. As he heard more of the other's past though it sounded very outlandish. Saeki didn't even want to imagine having to eat soil at any time of his life. But then, he was no elemental. Perhaps it was normal for the earth ones.
"I can imagine that." he said with a chuckle about them wanting to try all sorts of food. "Well, I don't cook with dirt nor soil and always make sure the ingredients are well prepared and washed before I cook. It is something that is important where I am from since rice needs a thorough cleaning before you cook it as well." he explained a bit about their cooking habits. As they walked he thought to himself what he would make for lunch. Of course he was used to family meals so he wouldn't think in just one food. Instead he was thinking of what would go well together and what might be considered good for when you were with someone that wasn't used to Japanese cooking. He didn't want Patrick to have a sore stomach after if the lunch was to heavy.
When they finally reached his home, Saeki took the keys from his pocket and unlocked the door before opening it and walking in. He kept the door open for Patrick as he smiled and welcome gestured him in. Once they were both inside he would first wipe his shoes before taking them off and putting on one pair of the slippers at the door. As per habit there were at least 6 pairs at his door, all the same white except his own which were black with a koi on them. Of course Saeki would not enforce the Japanese rules of household on his visitors but it was good to be prepared for those that would stick to them. "You can make yourself at home while I make lunch. Feel free to explore the house. Of course you are just as welcome to join me in the kitchen." he said to Patrick with a calm smile before he walked to the kitchen.
It was important for Saeki that the other felt at home. Nor did he have anything to hide so he felt no need to bar them from any of the rooms in his home. But if they preferred to be with him while he worked on lunch that was no problem either. Saeki though was going straight to the kitchen. Since he planned to cook lunch it wouldn't be done in a flash. Instead of going for premade or bread or something, the young man walked to his filled fridge and started to take out eggs and other ingredients like oil and vegetables. His first was Tamagoyaki, a rolled omelet that was done quick so it could help tide the other over until the rest was done in case they were really hungry. Since that was such an easy dish, it was done with 10 minutes so he placed it on the table, letting Patrick know he could eat, either by calling out or by telling them if they were near him.
As for the actual lunch Saeki continued to make some onigiri and Teriyaki chicken with a side dish of Kinpira. Of course it all amounted to quite a meal, that said Saeki was used to such quantities. but he was well aware that his new friend might not be. So once he was ready he looked at the table and nodded with a smile. For himself he had placed his own chopsticks but for Patrick he had placed both one use chopsticks as well as the usual utensils in case they didn't know how to eat with the sticks or didn't want to. "Well lunch is served. Feel free to tuck in. Now I am not sure how much you can eat, so if you feel full before the meal is finished please do let me know. There is no reason to overeat yourself." he said to Patrick, in the hopes that they wouldn't push themselves to overeat just because he cooked a lot.
"I'm fine about it. I prefer to walk or use one of my abilities to travel. Don't know why, but I don't plan on changing that part of myself. The last thing I rode on was a plane to the US for the very first time when I was kid" Patrick replied honestly. The way he gets around hasn't changed for a very long time now. Put away the journal after looking at it for a moment and had found what he needed to see. He listens to what the other talk about his cooking habits. "How much water are we talking here? A gallon or less?" he asked, curious about the washing the rice part. The only thing he did with cooking rice was boiling a pot of water on the stove. He wondered if lunch will be like he has seen in movies. Hadn't seen a example of Saeki's cooking skills, but he believed he is very good at it based on what he has heard so far. Took a moment to look over at the house he was approaching. He has visited two other homes in the history of living in this city. Went inside through the doorway that was left open for him. "Nice home. Thanks for inviting me over, Saeki" he thanked him. Copied what Saeki did with his shoes after making sure the front door is closed and locked then put on a pair of slippers. After hearing that exploring the other's home was optional he decided not pass up such an opportunity to do so. "Besides not watching the process will make the result even more of a surprise for me in the near future" he thought after the host headed for the kitchen. Slippers were a sensation for his feet that was something he wasn't used to in this unfamiliar footwear. As he looked around he assumed the interior design was influenced by the culture by the country Saeki is from. All of it would have been much more foreign to him if it wasn't for the horror movies he watched in the past. Didn't linger in one room no more than a couple of minutes. He thought the training room look to be more spacious than he originally imagined it to be. His finally stop was the kitchen and promptly went about to washing his hands. "I'm in a good mood and my consumption is a lot so there is less of a chance to be leftovers" he boasted smiling widely. Took a seat at the table taking in both sight and smell of the food and soon enough the taste also. Picked up the chopsticks without hesitation because of his previous practices with them through Chinese cuisine that he can use them without a problem.

Saeki had shook his head a bit and smiled at Patrick. "A gallon? That would be way to much. It's just to make sure all the outside influences are gone from it." he explained. Once they were at his home and well inside, the young man smiled when Patrick followed his example. It was a very considerate gesture. Once he went to the kitchen he noticed the other had decided to explore the house so Saeki instead focused completely on the food. Since Patrick was his first guest since he lived on his own, he wanted to make a perfect lunch and he was glad he didn't mess up anything. Once he placed it all on the table and looked at it he was pleased enough with the result. It looked good and the extra he made to try the taste had tasted well too.
The young man smiled when Patrick entered the kitchen and once he finished and set up the table he washed his hands again as well as he had before and in between the cooking and sat at the table with Patrick. "I'm glad to hear that. Feel free to eat to your heart's desire. Or would that be stomach's desire?" he said and chuckled. It didn't escape him that his guest took the chopsticks without hesitation which surprised him a bit, in a good way though. "What a pleasant surprise to see you know how to eat with chopsticks." Saeki said as he picked up his own and after giving thanks, even though he didn't really revere to any gods anymore, he picked up one of the Tamagoyaki and started to eat.
"How long have you been here now Patrick?" he asked the other in between bites once he swallowed his bites. It was pure curiosity really. Besides where he came from conversations were always held during the meals. He was genuinely interested in Patrick. So far he had felt good in their presence and he was curious to them and how they ticked. The day had promised to be a lucky one for blind dates. At least Saeki felt so. Of course he had no way of knowing what Patrick was thinking, but it wasn't negative at least. They seemed to enjoy themselves as well.
Patrick laughs a little, "Oh okay. I guess it would be a rice if it had been that much water" he replied. He was thinking of it giving it a try some time since it doesn't involve a lot of water. Made sure to jot that down for a reminder when he looks back to his journal. He thought following other's way of doing things was important and the polite thing to do when you're in someone else's home unless told otherwise. "The stomach, of course" he said chuckling along with him. He copied once again in giving thanks before sampled the food a bit while listening to the other talk. "I am efficient in using most eating utensils" he responded. "What are the names of these dishes? They taste really good" he asked him. Finding it hard to believe that he is getting this chance in reality to eat someone else's cooking for a change. "I'm confused on what you're referring to? Do you mean how long I've been living in the Ombre district? Or long did I live in the Lumiere before moving? Or the city in general? I think I've answered that one in a creative way. Or maybe the country in general? because I didn't travel straight to Soleil" he asked a string of questions seeking out clarity of what was being asked of him. "Do you have a guilty pleasure when it comes to food? Something you know you're not supposed to have, but can't get enough of when you get your hands on them" he asked him and explained to what he was talking about. "Mine is crisps from my home country" he answered his own question. "Hmm, compliments to the chef" he said smiling after ate some more and swallowed.
--:::------::------------------->⛥<--------------------::------:::--- Where: Home, Lumiere ☯With: Patrick ☯Status: Eating lunch with Patrick ☯Wallet: $241 ☯Profile:Konosawa Saeki☯Address:1521 Lumiere --:::------::------------------->⛥<--------------------::------:::---
Saeki smiled when Patrick answered his joked question about heart or stomach. It was good to meet someone with a sense of humor. It was so much better than the stiffness he often met at home. Saeki was really enjoying spending time with this man. He noticed them copying him but he didn't comment on it. He thought it a great gesture of the other once more. Or perhaps they were just used to it that way too. "It's good when you know how to eat with different utensils. You never know when that comes in handy. I'm impressed." the young man said to Patrick and smiled gently before taking a bite from his Teriyaki. When he heard their question he swallowed his bite and pointed at the dishes in turn.
"That is Tamagoyaki. It's an omelet that you can make in layers. I have put herbs between each layer as I rolled it up. That might actually be known to you as I have seen it is popular here too but in case you aren't we call it Onigiri, I have seen shops sell it as Rice Balls which...isn't to bad of a name I suppose." he explained the first two and chuckled a bit at the letter. "The main meal for lunch here is what we call Teriyaki, or Teriyaki chicken. chicken mixed with sauce and rice" he said to the next though the Teriyaki was obvious that it was chicken, no one could confuse it for anything else. But now Patrick knew the official name too. "The side dish is known as Kinpira. I made it with some vegetables, herbs and some seaweed. I hope you'll enjoy it. Though I can understand it isn't for everyone." Saeki ended the explanation and smiled.
If his companion didn't like the Kinpira, it was fine to Saeki if they didn't finish it. After all, food is all about enjoying it. You can't enjoy eating something you don't like. Soon after the conversation changed to the question he asked and it would seem that he confused Patrick. Saeki chuckled a bit. "I'm sorry. I meant how long you lived here in the area. For me this is my first complete day on the entire continent, though that probably was easy to guess." he clarified his question. He was just curious how much longer Patrick had been in this part of the ocean. "Oh that is an easy one." he said with a grin and pointed at the Onigiri when they asked what his guilty pleasure was. "Not exactly a guilty pleasure which I can't really come up with now as I don't think I have one. But I absolutely love Onigiri I have grown up with it as a staple in all my lunches.
Back when I was still a young child my mother used to make them in shapes and appearances of pandas, filled with all sorts of delicious extras. We both like to experiment with cooking." he explained with honesty. He was never told any food he ate was not as good for him. But then, his family as well as their culture was quite set on healthy foods. "I love how you can do about everything with Onigiri, it just depends on what you prefer." he replied. "Crisps huh?" he repeated what Patrick said and smiled. "I'm sure it tastes great." he said, though when he heard Patrick on the latter he blushed a bit and rubbed his head. No one had said that before.
Of course his parents also found he was a good cook but where he came from it was to be expected to be able to cook. So it was kind of new to him to get such praise for his cooking. "Thank you, Patrick" he said and smiled. "You're welcome to come eat more when you want." Saeki chuckled and invited him. It would be nice to see them more often, maybe they could hang more too. But for now they still had the entire afternoon to hang out, provided Patrick was willing.
Patrick is glad he has met someone he joke around with in this city. He does it with Kenzie too, but it's not the same with it being through a computer screen. "Doesn't seem like I made a wrong move in copying in what I have observed of him" he thought very much pleased with himself. He smiled, "I'm very pleased to hear that, Saeki" he replied. "Amazingly soft texture for eggs and they taste just as great as they look. I've heard of them, but its the first time seeing them in person" he responded to the first half of the explanation. Finished off tamagoyaki first because he liked them so much and savored every chew and swallow. "This lunch got me thinking they should seriously have a Cultural food festival since they are so open to farmer's markets. I'm sure there are plenty of people are missing out on some good food from other culture and some just need an opportunity to find out for themselves" he openly suggested a city event. "Great choice. That is fitting for a main meal for this time of day" he commented and tries not salivate too much. "Kinpira? That's a dish I've haven't heard nor seen. It has a interesting appearance, but I like it" he said and he was half finished with his portion of teriyaki chicken. "Less than a decade in this continent and thee and half years by the coast. Speaking without my mixed accent can attest to that. When we first met I didn't have a clue you were a foreigner nor a new resident in the city" he responded. "Well, it would qualify as a snack unless you eat than the average person. I can only imagine about those edible experiments. Pretty cool over all" he said to the talk about onigiri. "They are the British version of potato chips with creative names and creative flavors and yes they do taste great" he stated. "No problem" he said to being thanked. He smiles happily, "I will happily accept that invitation" he said joyously. "Of course I will return the favor of your hospitality by inviting you over to my home soon" he promised.

Saeki smiled softly when they spoke so highly of his food. "I'm glad you like it. But let's not forget that half a great meal is the ingredients you cook with. The vegetables used are the ones I bought at your stand just yesterday. So you deserve just as much credit for this great meal." he explained his point of view and chuckled softly. His meal tasted great because Patrick's vegetables were first class and he didn't want the man to forget about himself. It were his hands that cared for the crops that later ended in this meal. He listened calmly as Patrick spoke of a festival idea and ate some while he did. Yet whenever he would talk, the young man made sure he had swallowed his food first. Ever raised to never talk with your mouth full.
"That is actually a great idea! I would definitely join such a festival with my cooking." Saeki agreed with a smile. The thought of a festival for food, or perhaps even a contest, piqued his interest just as well. It looked like his cooking sat well with Patrick. Soon after he got his answer to his question. It would seem that his companion was a large deal longer here than he had been. Though it surprised Saeki they hadn't noticed his Japanese accent which was still very clear in his speech. That said he knew he was pretty good at English because he always needed it at the hot springs. When they spoke of the experimenting though Saeki chuckled happily. "If you are feeling brave I could always try to experiment some more when you come eat here again." he offered and smiled.
"As for my English, thank you for your kind words. I'm from Japan but since my parents had the hot springs, English was a language I came in contact with a lot. My parents pretty much home schooled me, so it was mostly business English until I started to hang out with people more my age in the vacations they spent at our springs." he explained. "They did like pointing out whenever I was using words they considered silly and old and would teach me how they say it. It was a quite nice way to learn." Of course the pointing out was less nice, but they always had a lot of fun together nonetheless. Sadly though they would always be leaving eventually. Back to their own countries. At the latter he smiled and nodded. "I look forward to that. Both to having you visit again as well as visiting you." he said genuinely happy.
Patrick blushed a little at the mentioned of his vegetables were used in the making of this meal. "Very true. As a gardener, I feel very honored" he smiling. He didn't plan on sharing the credit with mother nature, especially after she almost over watered his garden with her rainy days. Hums some while eating the kinpira enjoying the bitterness and crunchiness. Both were an interesting combination for him to consume. "Yeah, I'm sure you would be the star of the festival" he said to him. Personally, he couldn't run a stall like he did at the farmer's market because there would be far more people present and be like that for most of the festival hours. "No way I could handle a festival. Heck, I was lucky the convention at the hotel happened on my days off" he thought. "Believe me or not I consume a lot of Japanese media when comes horror that I don't really notice if one of them speaks English because the accent is pretty much non-existent to my ears.unless someone point it out" he explained to him. "Not everyone's perception of the senses and comprehension works the same is what I'm trying to say. English is secondary language, but ever since to my adult appearance any accent around that language sort of filters out most of the time. Doesn't denote your efforts" he said making a secondary attempt at explaining and hoping he wasn't overdoing it. "Of course, I would love for that to happen" he said to food experimenting. "That's kids for ya and it is a practical way of learning and applying language skills and others involving the public" he commented. "My first few years in the US before boarding school was ball-up. A rubbish, wonky, backwater town stuck in the times when comes to how they treat outsiders especially if their from Blighty. Anything adults say gets twinkled down to the children. Bunch of wankers so obsessed with one part of history. Bitterness, so much miser and flaw and mistake picking" he ranted and grumbled the second half. He wasn't aware he had been using British slang words. Hearing the other male's genuine happiness soften up his mood. "That sentence is one of my top ten favorite sentences of today" he said smiling softly.

Saeki listened to Patrick as he spoke, using the chance between to eat more of his food as he wouldn't while talking. Besides he enjoyed listening to the stories of the other. Though they seemed to share a lot more of their history than Saeki had so far. Granted the young man didn't really have much interesting to tell, or so he thought. He was only human for one and his life had been quite an ordinary one. The only unique part was the hot springs, their perhaps obvious wealth and his exposure to foreigners which had been quite some more than most Japanese had. Only the businesses like their springs, hotels and such would really be actively working with tourists after all. Not just English speakers either.
He nodded when they mentioned the accents weren't perceived the same by everyone. Saeki knew as much, he was just surprised his English appeared to be so spot on regardless, even if it was clear to hear that he was from Japan. Different sounds and all that. But he would let it rest. Besides he was never one that was to big on taking compliments. He wasn't used to them as much since his parents, though they always meant well, hadn't been very big into that. Perhaps because their parents had been about as strict on them. Still it wasn't something Saeki regretted, he enjoyed his life. "That is true. It was a very practical way to learn. And we still had a lot of fun together along the way." Saeki smiled a bit.
The next he said though was quite confusing to him which was perhaps visible in his features. "I did not catch everything you said there. There are some words I never heard before. Ball-up? Blighty?" he asked with some confusing. At least the latter part had been easier for him to understand. "I did get the rest though and I have never been subject to it myself but I have seen it happen in Japan too. Foreigners aren't always looked upon favorably. In fact many who are not in the tourist business like us, tend to refer to foreigners as 'Iljin'. Which effectively means outsider." he explained and revealed some of where he came from. "I've gotten into trouble with them a few times after defending some of our guests. They weren't happy at all. But it never got out of hand thankfully. And some guests were a bit unruly." Saeki explained and offered some insight of his more recent years still working in the springs.
Thinking about crisps he had mentioned earlier got Patrick thinking about the different soda drinks from his home country too. Finishing off his portion of the main dish he moved on to rice balls and he was taking on those. "I didn't start to have any fun with other people until I had sent myself to boarding school" he said honestly. Looked up from the food when he heard the question. Rubs the back of his neck in embarrassment, "Those are British slang words. I was unaware I was using them and it is my way of cursing without actually cursing. I will speak in my first language Dutch if I'm upset enough" he explained. "Surely you've witnessed people who have done that avert back to their native or first language when they get all riled up, yes?" he asked him. "Probably happens in other countries too. Because of the harsh environment my abilities awakened except for the plant that happened years later. I was less than an outsider them I was titled as a nobody, someone who is looked down and shunned more than the school outcast. Since I was neglected and didn't want to end up in the system I use earth manipulation to start up a business and I would go to the junkyard or to a garage sale to find the damaged items and use my physical restoration ability or mechanical skill to restore them then sale the items at a pawn shop so I would have pocket money to pay for supplies. Gardening to save money on grocery shopping not just a hobby. Took defense classes somewhere and learn how to use a specific weapon. Learned how to read lips and observe others since I spent so much time alone. My treatment from my relative weren't really any different to how my parents treated and I'm happy to never have to go back to neither towns" he spoke of the first american town he lived in with more detail. "The whole guest story thing reminds me of my room servicing part time job at the hotel" he commented to Saeki's explanations. "Could I help with dishes? If that is alright with you" he asked him. He didn't want to overstep his bounds if a guest isn't allowed to help out on that.

Saeki smiled and nodded a thanks when Patrick explained the unknown words. "Yes, some do." he replied to the people reverting back to their native language if upset or angry. After that though Patrick seemed on a roll and started to explain more. The young man was curious to them enough to sit quietly as they told their story, picking up one of the rice balls he made and eating it in the process. The more he heard, the more he was aware that they weren't just new friends of each other, they were also worlds apart. Whereas Patrick had lived a rough, unwanted life. Saeki had always been wanted by his parents, same as his sister. His parents were also very wealthy. Something that at times had a few less savory moments with some of the worse foreigners that considered either him or his sister as an easy buck.
"Our lives so far have been widely different. I grew up in a wealthy family with never any shortage of money nor care. We were both very welcome to our parents. Though it came with it's own problems of course. Some people just try to befriend us for the money, there have even be foreigners that tried to earn a quick buck on my sister or me. Little did they know that even at a young age our father had already instructed me in the martial arts. They never got to either of us." Saeki explained and smiled a bit. Of course it wasn't a good time to look back at with the near kidnapping occasions, but the male was quite happy he had been instructed as he was. And quite frankly, touching his sister in a bad move was a good way to piss Saeki off.
After their history telling though, Saeki was surprised by Patrick's offer to help with the dishes. It wasn't one he was used to hear considering they had a very strict schedule at home for household chores. The young swordsman smiled and nodded. "You don't have to but if that is what you want to do, of course you may help me with the dishes." Saeki replied. Saeki didn't mind either way. Clean up alone or clean up together, as long as it was cleaned up. And together it would be faster too. "Thank you, Patrick." he said to the other, glad for their offer. Once they would be done with lunch and Saeki was certain Patrick had eaten enough and was satisfied as well, he would get up and start clearing the table.
"Blighty means Britain and balls-up means a messed up situation" Patrick provided definitions to the two words other had mentioned to him. Hopes he hadn't brought down the mood when he was talking about his background history. He accepted the thanks and pleased the other seemed to understand the explanation he had given. "My parents are wealthy too through their business separate from the family name. Which is why they can afford to travel all the time and own more than one property" he said about his parents finances. "If we had similar or the same background we would be pretty boring to others. Not having that much in common helps relationships flourish. After all, they are all about the give and take. One half fills in for the other half. This what I learned from observing people and personal experience in general" he said to him. "Just between you and me and I've no else this, but I contemplate letting go of control killing the bullies and their families and the rest of the town. Instead wrote down those feelings in the very journal you wrote in today" he shared a secret with him. "I find your stories about yourself to be far more interesting and they give more insight about you as a person" he proclaimed. Finished up his portion of rice balls and thus place down the chopsticks now that he finished his portions for lunch. "My pleasure, Saeki" he said smiling happily. He was happy to be of help and that his offer was accept. Stood up, "I'm ready" he said and start with helping to clear the table. "I could do the rinsing and drying" he volunteers for that part. He thought it was the best choice in case the other has a specific method of washing the dishes. "After we have washed the dishes, do you want to accompany on a walk around the neighborhood?" he offered an invitation in hopes a little more time with Saeki. He was confident he won't encounter that one particular person since he hadn't so far these past several months.

Saeki nodded with a smile when Patrick explained the words that had been unclear to him. Now he understood the sentences a bit better too. If all schools were as bad as Patrick made it sound now, then the young man was glad that he was home schooled. No bullies, no troublemakers and no peer pressure really. His lessons had been quite fun and eventful in other ways. When Patrick spoke of it being a good thing their worlds were opposites, Saeki only nodded. He didn't need telling that after all. He didn't mind what life Patrick hailed from, they had fun together so far, so he could see them both hang out more often. Of course it was a bit of a shock to hear the other contemplating as bad as murder, but it wasn't really the thoughts that counted.
"Well, murderous intent aside, what counts is how you deal with it. And I am glad it is by writing it down and not acting upon it." Saeki said and smiled a bit. It was somewhat hard to believe right now that Patrick would be able to kill anyone, it wasn't really as easy as it sounded after all, but they only just met. Either way, the male would just see how it goes. The other didn't strike him as the bad kind, so no harm in trusting them. Saeki didn't really doubt his intuition. It had served him well a lot of times. The young man chuckled a bit when they spoke of his history and he shook his head. "It's all about perspective I think. I don't really see my history as anything interesting myself." he admitted.
"But we both like to get to know the other better, I know I do." he spoke as he picked up a few dishes once they were both satisfied. With Patrick's help it didn't take long before the table was emptied and they could start the dishes. "Alright, I'll do the washing and putting away then." Saeki agreed with the other and smiled. While Patrick rinsed the dishes before they would be washed, Saeki quickly cleaned the table, it was easy since they had been eating quite neatly, and put the original cloth over it again before he went to the kitchen again and started to wash the dishes that Patrick had rinsed. "I don't remember ever doing this together with another. My sister and I always had separate chore-shifts. But this is quite nice as well." he said during their cleaning of the dishes.
Patrick thought for a moment back to what he was going to say back then they were walking to the aquarium. "Might not be necessary anymore" he thought to himself. He believed they are on the same page as to what the label of their relationship is going to be. Seems pretty clear to him since he shared so much with him. "Why thank you for being glad about that decision" he replied smiling. "Aren't least he doesn't seem scared or frighten by things I said about myself or my abilities" he thought. He had long gave up on the possibility achieving any romantic relationship through blind dating. Already decided to be taking a break on it since he had through it the first half of the week. Plans on quitting the room service job then something more of a public place with more foot traffic, but not as much as a club or a bar can fit in at a time. "That is what most people think of their personal history. You did share on your own and I appreciate that" he responded. "You're not wrong. Quickest way to find if there is a deal breaker in there than to find out later on down the line. I wouldn't want to waste someone's time. I believe in the potential of our friendship which is why I shared that secret" responded. Now that they're roles have been established, he got in position once the dishes made it to the kitchen counter. Diligently did his job and hopes to do his best performance for Saeki. "Usually home guests or married couples do it from what I seen in movies" he said softly. Didn't get a verbal response about the walk so he decided to pretend he didn't ask.
