"What?" This was punctuated with a slurp of coffee. "You pimping me out to your girlfriend now?"
Beat.
"Wait, Shun? Kuroda? How the s**t do you know him?"

Chel's mouth curled in her crooked smile. "She ain't my girlfriend but damn if she was." She accentuated the thought with a sip of her own drink; reaching the bottom now.
She sipped through his pause and said, "Kuroda- s'at his last name? Shun's a ********' weird name so I feel like there's gotta only be one of him." She shrugged. "Cop guy? Grumpier than you? Always kinda looks like-"
And she made a >:C face.

Suddenly, while sitting at his desk at the precinct, Shun sneezes. He furrows his brow and lets out a huff, then continues his work.

The snorting laugh couldn't be helped. "Yeah, that's him. Nice impression. Actually..."
Motioning for her to pause, Jack pulled out his phone to take a photo. He had to.
"No but seriously, how do you know him? He's not the most social guy." Said the pot.

Oh ... that laugh. That was a nice laugh. Nice enough to make her pose for his picture. Hopefully it wouldn't actually reach Shun later or Chel was screwed.
"Uhh met him when I visited New York a while back. He moved in a couple doors down from Chris' apartment. We also hit up the same coffee shop and the same gym. Took him out t'lunch. Come t'think of it I've met him a shitton of places." That was ... weird. It hadn't dawned on her that they were stalking each other until now.

"You've been to New York?" She didn't seem like someone who would have been able to, honestly, sociable or not. "Wait. You took Shun on a date?"
He almost snort laughed again.
"Jesus, that must have been ******** boring."

Chel made her Shun impression again and said, "It's not a date." She cracked a smile and returned to being Chel.
"It was ... alright. He's not a bad guy. Kinda ditched me at the end though."

"What, your charms didn't work?" Jack looked absolutely, positively astounded.

"I KNOW," she wailed at him with the same joking expression on her face. "I think he's secretly a robot."
She giggled and wrapped her hands around her coffee cup tightly, turning back to the photographs, mostly staring at the one that was now hers with a quiet awe. "Y'know, I think this is the most you ever talked t'me without shooin' me away. S'impressive." She gave him a sideye. "Guess my charms are workin' on at least one." And a hair flip to accentuate.

"Sure, if you call me having to stand here as part of my grade 'working'," he countered. "I'm basically being held hostage to listen to that damn twang."
Beat.
"So does that make Shun Robocop?"

She felt a small drop in her stomach. Obligated because of school; right.
"Haw I guess so," she said. "I'll tell him you said that next time I see him." Because she probably would. For some reason they kept smacking into each other. "How you know him anyways?"

"Dad's a fancy a** guy and goes out of state for things all the time. He happened to meet the Kuroda family once in New York." In truth Jack didn't know all the details, but he didn't really need to: it was always the same wine and dine connection s**t that made his dad a know-it-all.
He took the last sip of his coffee and looked for a trashcan. "Thanks for the drink, though," Jack said. "And, ah. For not butting in earlier."

"What're friends for, my man," she said, holding up a fist for a fist bump.

After a moment, he broke into a genuine smile and returned her fistbump. "Thanks," Jack repeated. "I'll get you that photograph tonight if you want to stop by."

Stop by? Or stop by? She dodged the questioned.
"Y'should smile more," she told him as her hand dropped. "Looks nice on you." Her tone was the same that drunken men used to pick up women on the street during a late night.
