"Well... I figured if we're going to a nicer place I probably shouldn't wear something too casual," Jericho said with a bit of an awkward grin. He didn't think he was overdressed... at least he hoped he wasn't. Scratching his head at the thought, he soon gave a shrug. Too late now in any case.
The dragon went on and followed her out to where the limo had been parked. Fancy indeed. He never rode in one of these before. Then again, his usual transportation of choice was by flight anyway.
He was about to open the door, but Riyo had beaten him to the punch. Raising an eyebrow for the moment, he grinned before climbing in, carefully tucking his wings in so they didn't smack against too many things.
"Sweeet," he said as he looked around the inside.

The inside of the limo was, as one would expect, extravagant. The interior was made out of some sort of leather with soft carpeting at the floor and... Was that a mini bar? And a stereo system? And... A DVD player?
Well hell, it had just about everything.
Sliding in next to him, Riyo noticed the driver glancing back at them with a raised eyebrow. "What?" It was obvious the man was of demon origin. The horns and eyes gave it away. "Oh, nothing ma'am. Are you two ready?" He asked in the smooth, silky voice one would expect.
Closing the door, Riyo nodded. "Get us out of here." When the limo started moving, she turned to Jericho. "Feel free to use whatever." Folding her arms behind her head, she sat with one leg over the other and relaxed. "Or stick your head out of the sun roof. Or don't. It doesn't matter." Riyo personally enjoyed watching the scenery go by the windows whenever she had to ride somewhere. "It's not a really long ride."

Settling down in the vehicle, Jericho took a moment or so to look everything over. It was all pretty impressive really. Once they started to get moving, he nodded to Riyo and looked over at the DVD player, wondering what movies this thing was stocked with. He didn't really plan on watching anything since she said it was a short ride, but he was curious.
"So what's the name of the place we're headed to?"

Noticing Jericho eying the DVD player, Riyo sat up and reached under the seat momentarily. "It's called Skreegis. Ritzy little place downtown. Sometimes I have business meetings there. Lots of upper class demons and such." Pulling back her hand, the ghoul retrieved a DVD holder and handed it to Jericho. Lots to choose from. "... Unless you don't want to go there."Her eyes widened a little at the revelation that he might not care for such a restaurant. "If you'd like to go somewhere else, we can." She'd made reservations, but as far as she was concerned they could always be canceled.

"Nah that should be fine," Jericho nodded. He had no problem with demons for the most part. It was just the elitists that grated his nerves. Though.. he supposed a restaurant like this could end up with such elitists. Well, they'll deal with them when they get there.
Looking over the dvd's, he tilted his head, just browsing through. Interesting title selection for sure.

It took about fifteen minutes, but the two finally arrived at what appeared to be a rather expensive looking establishment. Rare and unusual flowers led the way up to the entrance, which was serviced by sharp-looking demons. This time, Riyo gave the driver a chance to open the door.
"Go ahead and hang around the area. I'll call you when we're done." She nodded to the driver before handing him a small tip. Hey, he had done a much better job than the gnome. For that, she was grateful.
Stuffing her hands back in her pockets, Riyo waited for Jericho patiently. "Whaddya think?" She asked when he got out of the limo.

Once they arrived, Jericho climbed out of the limo and stretched out his wings. The ride was nice, but it was a little cramped for someone with large wings like his own. Staring at the restaurant nearby, he took a moment to look it over.
"Looks pretty damn snazzy," he commented. He never really went to any sort of fancy restaurant before. It wasn't that he couldn't afford it though. He just... kind of didn't.
"Ever eaten here before?"

"Yep, but it's never been leisurely visits. Just business." Pausing, she added, "Always business." It seemed that anything she did that might be the slightest bit fun for someone else was for the sake of... Business.
Following the pathway up, she nodded to the demons who opened the doors, just barely missing their raised eyebrows as she looked towards the greeter. "Ah, well if it isn't Missss Riyo. It is an honor to be in the presence of such gracssse and beauty." The greeter hissed, his forked tongue slipping out momentarily as he sounded out his s'es.
The feline didn't look impressed. "I don't care what Lyle told you. I don't give tipsss for flattery." She mocked and folded her arms.
Though the demon in front of them didn't seem to mind, though the fact that she had known the situation had shocked him a little bit. "Erm, yesss. Very good then. I have your resssservation for..." The man paused as he raised his slitted eyes to look at her company. "Thatssss not Mr. Lyle." Lyle was the one who tipped well as long as they serviced the table properly. Miss Riyo... Was usually not so generous. Wait. This boil wasn't a demon, was he?
"No, thank Jack." Riyo immediately responded. Her face grew more annoyed each passing second she had to speak with this snake of a demon. "Is our table ready or not?"

"Well I guess this is a first for both of us in a way," Jericho said while moving up to the door. Hearing the demon greeter speak, he raised an eyebrow momentarily while waiting for them to be seated. Furthermore, Riyo had pretty much bit back. That didn't seem to be particularly necessary.
Well, aside from that... did... Riyo put him under a different name.
"Mr. Lyle?" he murmured towards the feline, a little confused. It didn't seem to be particularly necessary to do that if she had done it.

Riyo hadn't even mentioned Lyle's name in passing when she called to make the reservation. The bastards at the front always seemed to assume they were connected at the hip or something. "I'll tell you later." She mumbled while she waited for the demon to seat them.
Nervously, the greeter glanced back to all the tables, realizing some of the patrons were already glancing this way with raised eyebrows and narrow stares. "Um. No, it'sssss not." The demon tried to sound tough as he folded his own arms to match the ghouls. "We don't particularly enjoy catering to brutissssssh ssssspeciesss sssssuch as your overgrown lizard friend over here." Was he trying to get a rise out of her? Oh yes. Then he'd have an excuse to kick the both of them out and give the table to someone who probably wouldn't destroy their establishment.
Riyo appeared taken aback by the greeter's rude and off-color comment. She'd never been treated like that before. Then again, she was a demon. A wealthy demon with a 'charming' vice president that generally accompanied her. "I don't appreciate your tone." Instead of annoyance, there was rage written all over her face now. If the next words out of his mouth weren't an apology, Riyo wasn't sure what she'd do.

Rather than being taken to their seats, it seemed that something was a problem here. Frowning, Jericho looked at the greeter, wondering what the hold up was. He soon made it all too clear what was going on.
"I'm not a lizard," he growled, "What are you, racist?"
Ugh, as he sort of expected, this place had some of those elitists abound. Well that was just great.

"Racisssssst? No, sir. I just call them as I ssssee them." There was a cruel grin on the man's face as he spoke, gaining a couple of laughs from the demons sitting close by.
By that point, Riyo was positively fuming. Both the hands in her pockets had balled up into fists, while her eyes gave her face a hint of red with their soft glow.
For a moment, the ghoul turned around like she was going to leave, until she heard the demon's mouth open to say something again. Immediately the ghoul turned around to plant her tightly wound fist in his face, her eyes ablaze with anger.
It hit. The sound of her knuckles striking his bony face confirmed that. Even moreso when he fell back into a table. "YEAH. WELL. I HIT THEM AS I SEE THEM."
... The adrenaline did not affect her speech skills well.
A loud, echoed gasp, followed by a blanket of silence covered the room. Oh wait. That might've been a bad thing to do.

Jericho's hands balled up into fists at that comment. Oh ******** this place. Though he noticed Riyo walking off, he glared hard at the greeter, wondering how worth his time and effort it would be to jack him right in the face.
Thankfully he didn't have to think about it for long because the demon girl had beat him to the punch. Staring at her in surprise, his jaw dropped slightly for the moment.
"Damn..." he murmured. That... was quite a hit.

"Uh.. Haha... Lets get out of here." Riyo mumbled as she noticed two rather large men storming through the crowd in their direction. Carefully, she gave the sleeve of Jericho's shirt a tug as she moved towards the exit hastily.
"The limo hasn't left yet!" She shouted as she burst through the doors and spotted the driver sitting on the hood of his car. "HEY. GET IN THAT LIMO AND BE READY TO SLAM ON THE GAS!" She shouted to him, adrenaline still rushing. She'd punched that guy, hadn't she? Holy s**t. She'd never punched anyone before! What the hell?!

Feeling the tug, Jericho glanced over at Riyo and saw her burst away. Well he supposed it would be good if they got out of here. Though it was a bit of a pity they wouldn't stick around for a good brawl. Not wasting any more time, he ran on out towards the limo and quickly got on in.
Once they were inside and moving, he let out a breath, shaking his head in amusement.
"Damn that was a pretty good hit you got in there."
