Welcome to Gaia! ::

Slaine looked toward the stairs where Shinto made his announcement. Was that the boy that had cheated him out of paying his bill? he wondered, eyeing Rikuo. He certainly didn't look the type to ever purchase personal entertainment such as prostitutes, though he shouldn't have surprised by it any. Many unexpected people did just that act, though quite more often than not, in secret. So, he was to be a dishwasher, hm? Slaine was half expecting him to be forced as a prostitute himself.. A silly thought, though. It was unheard of, in his eyes, for Lady B to force anyone into that occupation.

In any case, Slaine was glad for Shinto that he had finally gotten ahold of the boy. He seemed torn up and angered about the sex-and-run so this could only be a joy for him. Smiling inwardly, he started back for the kitchen to place in some orders.

"Go with the second one...more or less. It is a name I picked up while in the business. And dont even try to get my real name out of me. I dont tell anyone it."

Devon shook his head. "I don't mean to pry, but you shouldn't be so quick to go on the defensive. Do I look or act the sort that would aim to hurt you?" He took a drink from his glass then let out a sigh. "Look, you have your reasons for keeping things to yourself and I respect that. If you're going to be in this house you'll be talking with other employees. I don't know how it was in your old house... Around here we don't just sit up in a room waiting for an anonymous stranger to barge in with fifty bucks." Devon spoke calmly. It wasn't any of his business to know Fate's past. His personality mattered to Devon, though.

"Heh...is that so?" Rikuo huffed as he dove right into the water and began to scrub away, "Should I feel special that I was the exception?" He let out a heavy sigh and turned to the boy next to him, "Well, with a debt as large as the one I have, I guess I better learn some people's names." Exstending a soaking wet, sud covered hand, he held it out. "I'm- Oh.." he grabbed a cloth and dried his hand, "there, sorry. I'm Rikuo"

"Ill talk to people...but there is a limit to what I will say. Yo will find me talking about others more than myself...as soon as I have more of a history here."

Domonique picked up the order, and took it to the table with haste. He was determined to make up for his lateness, by out working everyone else. He took the orders over to the pick up counter, before heading back to clean the open tables. He set down on a chair in a corner when everyone had been waited on.

"Oh god.. if only that was the case," he replied and continued washing dishes. "He was..." a little blush appeared on his face as he remembered the night before shaking his head, disposing of his memories, "I just didn't know he was a prostitute until the morning after. We met in a club, he got stood up by his date, and I took him. How was I suppose to know his date was really a customer? As for the money..." he drifted off, "I can barely afford the life I'm living right now. Struggling student with a dead beat job and bills coming out the a**."
