He can’t believe that he let them put him up to this.
Haise breathed a quiet sigh as he made his way down the street toward the designated meeting spot on the note that Saiko had shoved into his hands that morning, all smiles as she nudged him toward the door to his room to ‘make himself presentable.’
What exactly was the point of getting all dressed up for a coffee date?
Now here he was, standing outside of a small coffee shop feeling far too over-dressed for the occasion and really wishing he could have just made a nice lunch back at the chateau for Judal or something.
Now that sounded like a good way to spend a date, even if he couldn’t actually eat anything that he made. Haise pushed the thought aside and took a glance at his watch, lips curling into a small frown upon realizing that he was nearly twenty minutes early.

“That really is just my luck..” Hopefully he didn’t have to wait too long before the other showed up.
