Welcome to Gaia! ::

Makoto chuckled softly, nodding. Arashi, that would be the sister of mine with the mental disorder, he said with a grin. Europe, huh? I wanted to go there once, but my dad wouldn't let me. Who knows, maybe that was for the better, he commented, smiling softly. He didn't realize where his hand was, as it felt strangely comfortable, after all, he was used to his hand being there on a woman, even if only in a platonic fashion.

She didn't seem to have a problem to me, Giovanna said with a slight pout. She was very nice, and quite upbeat. I thought she was delightful. She couldn't help but continuously glance at Makoto's hand, trying not to blush for the umpteenth time. And Europe is... very... lovely if you go to the right places, she finished with a nod.

I think my dad's been to Europe...Riley offered as a poor attempt to contribute to conversation. He pushed his plate of ravaged chicken bones aside and took a long drink from his drink, slightly regretting saving the hot-hot wings for last. And Toshi would probably go spend a week in the ghetto if that's where you were to take her...he laughed, shaking his head. But you're right, she does love Paris.

Makoto blushed softly upon realization that his hand was still on her leg. He took a deep breath, smiling as he was comfortable to keep it there. He nodded to Riley. Your sister is amazing, he mumbled happily, eating a potato skin.

Giovanna grinned. You're getting married? she asked Makoto. Weddings are so lovely! She wanted to gush about the different weddings she had been to and the details, but decided against it so that she wouldn't annoy them.

Riley snickered inwardly at Giovanna's joy over mentioning the wedding. I'm sure that if you're closer or are getting close to Ashili, you'll be roped into joining whatever planning goes on. he offered the lovely lady as he pulled his plate better to himself, pausing to frown at what'd been ordered for him. He went about removing and adding condiments as he absently spoke to Makoto. Well, hopefully you guys figure that out...because I'm getting a little bored with waking up in the middle of the night to her voice from the game room while she babbles to her dad about what you guys want to do. He pushed aside the plate of chicken bones, onion, and pickles after a moment, and stared to his plate once more. He reached for the steaknife that'd been rolled in his napkin and cut his burger in half, the portion far too large for him to finish while they sat there.

Makoto sighed happily, smiling to Giovanna briefly before beginning to eat his sandwich. He glanced to Riley, narrowing his eyes playfully. You're going to have to get over it, because I think it's absolutely adorable when she gushes over our future! And... I hope you get married, too. You're far to beautiful to stay single forever, he said with a smile.

Giovanna looked to Makoto and then to Riley as she took a bite of her steak. I don't know if I'm beautiful, she said, looking to her plate. But thank you nonetheless. I wish I could hear that more often. She glanced to her left ring finger and sighed. Why would I be married? she laughed before looking to Riley. And why can you tell her yourself? Is something wrong?
