Aila, in fact, did not know a word of Japanese and mistook the foreign interjection as a piece of Spanish for the similar pronunciation - not that she was much better with Spanish, but she was at least able to recognize the language now.
"I left you to meet with your client," she said coldly. "My goodness, count me the fool for believing this client existed. I'm not sure what sort of case you're trying to make for yourself, but it certainly isn't a good one." Nor was she sure what he was implying about rejection, though she assumed the machinery he mentioned referred to the woman's arm. That wasn't her concern, though; she was quite preoccupied.
At the sudden touch and request, she stiffened, leveling a gaze at the other Rocket could be described as no less than venomous. "You have until the count of three to take your hands off of me." Every hint of a smile had thoroughly fled her. "One..."

The ride with the caravan party was very much uncomfortable for Len, who had grown extremely inconvenienced with land travel. With a Charizard, human-Pokemon transport was always favored. Plus, it was nagging to see his bothered brother constantly keep an awkward glance on his girlfriend, as if one simple twitch would send him over a tumbling edge. His glass was practically overflowing with elation (to say the least, so was hers), but the molestation of certain unpleasant devices tickled her heart. Len felt as if she should be mad. Yet, there was nothing to be mad about. Had she not matured at all since being in Team Rocket? Scratch, at all in her life? It 'twas something to contemplate during the car ride and when they greeted the bar door, Len took the cuff of Lilith's wrist and attempted to drag her inside no matter what protest.
This action prompted a surprised double hill of eyebrows from the older Dinkley sibling as he raised himself from the car. A sigh escaped his lips as with a gaze following a blond pedestrian crossing a length from the bar, Purrloin hitched on her shoulder, he escorted himself after the duo. Music, the familiar smell of drench and those drenched in alcohol, the clink-clank of glasses . . . it felt too much like that one night. It disgusted him.

Izumi took a deep breath, finally starting to calm down now that people weren't crowding her any more; It didn't hurt that there was someone she knew, either. "N-no... I... just like to watch..." Truthfully she loved karaoke, but she never managed to get up and sing. Dancing in a club full of people was different than singing in front of a room of people who were all watching you. The blue-haired girl downed the rest of her similarly colored drink and sighed, mustering up a small smile for the small group standing around. "I-I'm... um... glad you all... like my arm..."

"I have a strong interest in all sorts of robotics." Faleen answered over the music. Pulling a hand out from behind her back and holding it out to the girl "My name is Faleen Ewell." She introduced herself in a very formal way, Hazel eyes never leaving this interesting individual. "I'm a robotics engineer and studied mechanical expect, Perhaps another time when we are not so preoccupied we could discuss out seeming common interest."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Jerome hovered, eyes drifting from Izumi to Faleen from over his beer, remaining quiet, but watching, finding he was uncertain about all of this for some -odd- reason. he shouldn't even care.
turning to look over at Inigo, lifting a brow as he followed his gaze toward Izaya and the Agent. "... s'up?" He asked, with a nudge of his elbow to the younger trainee.

"Oh- Um... T-that would be nice. I-I'm Izumi Watanabe... I own a shop, um. On Fourteenth and Easton." She tentatively shook Faleen's hand, a tiny smile on her face. "I-I build robots... sometimes... A-and I fixed Jerome's mp3 player- Oh! Jerome-" Izumi looked over from the blond woman to the tattooed man. "Your mp3 player is fixed, you can come pick it up any time."

Inigo had yet to notice the appearance of the two siblings and the brown-haired girl, as his attention was suddenly grabbed by Jerome at being nudged. While some people might not take well to being nudged, Inigo didn't mind in the slightest, and turned a curious look to the tattooed man. "Hey man," he replied with a lop-sided smile, then gestured towards Izaya and Aila with a shrug of one shoulder. "I think he'd better leave her alone before she beats the crap out of him." Despite Aila's small stature, he had no doubts that she could do just that. Or make her Metagross sit on him. Either way, it'd probably be in the other trainee's best interest to avoid provoking the smaller agent.
Izumi, huh? "Cool name," he said in response to the blue-haired girl's statement. He had to stop himself from saying it in Spanish, even though that was his first impulse.

Faleen's head tilted, returning the handshake with a more professional firmness, looking genuinely interested, Faleen didn't meet many who built robots outside of her clubs and classes, let alone another female. This very much pleased her to see. Perhaps this would turn out to be a good thing, this women seemed terribly timid though. "That's a nasty part of town to have a shop in." She commented, brow furrowing a little when she heard the address. Though her expression gathered a more interested look when she talked to "Jerome" clearly the name of the dark tattooed man. So he knew her.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Jerome studied Izaya and Aila for a moment when Inigo pointed out a future conflict. she certainly didn't seem like she was very pleased with the situation.
Hearing his name, he lazily shifted his posture to look behind him, Back at Izumi when she brought up his MP3. "Sweet, I'll drop by sometime to pick it up than. Manage to save any of the music?" he asked, though sounding like he didn't really care either way.

"Really? I keep hearing that, but it isn't bad at all..." Izumi shrugged, people in the city must have just been paranoid.
"No... The hard drive was pretty well snapped in two. Um- But I put a bigger one in there for you... Double the storage space. It just doesn't look very nice." Izumi chuckled shyly, a bit embarrassed that she wasn't able to save any of his music.
She turned back to Inigo when he commented on her name."Oh- Um- Thank you. M-my... um... parents... gave it to me?" The girl didn't really know how to respond to someone saying her name was cool. "U-um... wh-what's your name?"

With another soft incline of her head to the side, Faleen gave a soft smile, interesting. "Well, if you will excuse me." She said to Izumi, looking over to the Two Tranee close to them before turning and taking her way back over to Nyx's table.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Jerome watched her got for a moment, before glancing back over to Izumi. He couldn't help a small smirk, hearing that the hard drive was nearly snapped in two. But a bit surprised that she had gone out of her way to fix it. "eh, don't worry about it" He said, when she mentioned that it didn't look very nice "I don't either, so it works." He shrugged with a light Chuckle, moving to take the seat Izaya had been at before. Glancing back an Inigo when he was asked his name.

Wow, so she could fix mp3 players? He couldn't help but wonder what else she could fix, and made a mental note to go find her if something of his needed fixing. ...or wait, did they have people on the base that could fix stuff like that too? Probably. Definitely something he'd need to find out at a later date from someone, possibly Aila. Not that he had a lot of mechanical stuff that needed fixing or anything anyway, so it wasn't a big point of concern.
"De nada," he said with a chuckle as he took a step closer to the table. He wanted to sit but he was invited over to sit with Faleen and Nyx first, but then distracted, and he also wanted to make sure Izaya wasn't too mean to Aila even though he knew she could handle herself. He was better at being moral support than much else anyway. "My name's Inigo," the teen replied with another lop-sided smile. This girl really seemed a bit nervous.

[Xander]
He didn't want to be here. He really didn't. He knew how evenings like this went, he had relented to Dith's pestering to go out to a bar often enough to know that he was not going to enjoy himself. People would be drunk, singing off key, talking about things he had no interest in, pressed up against him in crowds. He was pretty sure he was wearing the wrong clothes too; a grey three piece suit with a pale blue cravat, and white gloves. He liked the outfit. It was new, and fitted him well. He looked very smart, but he was pretty sure that wasn't the point when you went to a bar. You were supposed to look hot. Hot was not something he had ever been good at, in any sense of the word.
Keeping his reservations hidden behind his usual neutrality, Frost nodded slightly to his companion. "Yes. I am ready." As he would ever be. Locking the car Frost made swiftly for the door to the bar, holding it open for Xander to pass inside... Should he have put on glitter too? Was everyone going to be glittery except him? Surely Xander would have said something if it was important. Even if it was he wouldn't have consented; he refused to sparkle. He refused to drink. He refused to talk about things he had no interest in. He wanted to go home. Why had he agreed to this?

"What? But you have cool tattoos- Maybe if you drew on it, the mp3 player would look cool too." Izumi giggled a little, "Actually, I could replace the case..." It probably would have been easier just to buy a new one, but at least with the engineer fixing it up, it wouldn't cost Jerome anything.
Izumi waved for the bartender to bring her another drink. "N-nice to meet you, Inigo. The girl seemed to be steadily becoming more relaxed- maybe finishing off that one blue drink had something to do with it... "I didn't think I'd see you at a karaoke bar." She said to Jerome.

He chuckled thickly at her comment about drawing on it "think everything would look better with a little ink on it" He agreed, this of course meant people to.
"Don't worry bout replacin' anything, so long as it works I really don't care." He added, finishing the beer he had been working on, and placing the bottle off to the side. looking over at Inigo when he introduced himself.
"don't come to places like this" He answered, propping a knee up, pressing his heel into his seat as he draped and arm over it and leaned back onto his free hand, relaxing a little. "Anyone who knows me knows better than to let me come to places like this."

Izumi blinked a few times at Jerome's reply about coming to places like this. "T-then... what are you doing here?"
The waitress brought over another colorful looking drink with some fruit impaled on a tiny plastic sword sitting in the glass. Izumi smiled and picked up the sword. "Oh- Anyone want some?" She gestured to the fruit, completely willing to share with either Inigo or Jerome.

Jerome paused here, wondering how he could answer this.... "ain't no one to tell me not to." He answered after a stilled pause. Eyes drifting over to the drinks that were brought over to her. Here he nodded, ordering another beer for himself, and glancing over at Inigo for what he wanted.
