Ra laughed as Aaron declared he had dessert. Well, at east they hadn't gotten anything disgusting.
"Some raw fish thing." He said struggling to use the chopsticks with his left hand. "Want some?"
Pushing the bowl into the middle of the table he looked around the cool interior of the restaurant and then back to the table.
"What did you say you liked to do?" Ra asked thinking back to the day they had met. "I remember something about games, but I wasn't concentrating too well?"

"Sure, let's share. That way we both get dinner *and* dessert." Aaron pushed his plate to the middle of the table, with three anpan left on it. He tried not to make a face for how cute Ra's left handed fumbling was. Aaron was as used to chopsticks as to a fork and knife, but he wasn't sure he's be able to use his left hand either. He leaned over to eat some of what looked like raw tuna. "I like fish better raw than I like it cooked," he said after swallowing.
"You were concentrating well, just not on what we were saying. Looked like some bad flashbacks or something." Aaron ate another tidbit. Ra's head and his, when they were both eating from the bowl, were only inches apart. It made his chest fluttery, so that he was glad the meal was light. With Ra's left handed chopstick usage, and his own nervousness, they would be lucky to get half of it down. "I do like games. The mental kind, not sports. I'm so out of shape it's sad. I like video games, but only if they have some plot to them, or include puzzles. I suck at fighting games." Probably because I never had anyone to play but the computer, and that got old. "I like normal stuff too, clothes, music. I can't wait to go shopping around here, get some J-pop CD's and one of those HeM bags I've seen people walking around with."

"Raw fish is suprising." Ra said as he placed his chopsticks down and picked up an annpan. "I didn't think I would like it, but I agree, I prefer it to some cooked fish. He listened to Aaron and nodded.
"It was an anxiety attack." He said with a small smile, "A bit like a flashback I suppose."
He took a bite at the ann and was yet again suprised at how sweet it was, despite his initial shock he decided that he actually quite likes the red bean paste that seemed to be inside a lot of sweets.
"I'm not too good at computer games, I know how to play chess though ... a little." He said with a smirk. He was definitely more of a sports person, especially when his meds made it hard to concentrate.
"HeM?" Ra asked, not sure what Aaron meant. "Maybe we could go into Tokyo one day, it's not far by train I don't think." He said finishing off his pancake thing. It would be nice to get out of the suffocating Aquila atmosphere for a day.

Aaron perked up at the mention of going to Tokyo. He had begged his parents to take him before school started, but they had been too busy. He was a bit afraid to go by himself, but going with Ra would be fantastic!
"We should totally go to Tokyo! How about this weekend?" He was too excited to eat now, so he put down his chopsticks.
Unable to smoke, he needed something to fiddle with. He pulled a journal out of his backpack. It was spiralbound with an elastic strap that went around it and held it shut, so he often stuffed things into it - scraps of paper, business cards, or ads that he liked. He opened it and flipped some pages. They were unlined and seemed to mostly have tattoo or logo-esque designs sketched on them. He found, among the scraps tucked into the pages, the ad he was looking for.
"HeM is just a brand name, but their bags are pretty cool," he held the scrap out to Ra. He didn't mention that they made mostly women's bags.
While he had his journal open, he put Makito's card into it for safekeeping.

Ra smiled at Aaron's enthusiasm and nodded.
"Ah, I have to study this weekend, and I'm going to visit my Aunt in New Zealand for a couple of weeks. How about when I get back?" He said with a warm smile. He was sure he would need an escape soon after returning. So that Aquila didn't get to claustrophobic.
Watching with interest as Aaron flipped through his journal. He took the scrap of magazine and looked at the camo bag in the picture.
"That's cool." He said looking up and smiling again. "If you know where they sell them then we should definitely keep an eye out when we go."
