[ Continued from here ]

Well I sure was, and she doesn't have hours today, [ Maybe. Does Cleo ever have days off? Well if all the police vanished... ] so I wasn't going to take no for an answer!

[ It's said with a bright smile, but there's an edge in her red eyes. Perhaps... no, she is genuinely hurt that Cleo's missing. She's genuinely irritated. Hurt. ]

[Minako hums softly, searching the woman's face before nodding.]

I'm sure she would've gone with you, if this hadn't happened. All the more reason to help Zee with those errands this month.

[Cleo's dating life is in jeopardy here.]

But in the meantime, I hope I can be a nice enough substitute. What was your name again?

Natalia Fairweather, my fine substitute!

[ Her prosthetic left hand remains at her side, but she offers out her right for the other to take for a moment. That said, she does glance at the packages she has. Is there... ah, right, that was one of the challenges. So that'll be their "Date" here.

.. Still... ]

But for not knowing me, that's a lot of confidence in Cleo's intentions!

[Minako gives her hand a firm shake.]

Are you related to Zack Fairweather, by any chance? I worked with him a lot at ReVA.

[And then a little laugh leaves her.]

When I first met her, she wasn't the kind of person who expected to keep friends. But it's been a while since then, and I'd like to think she's learned a little about herself. She's a very kind woman...she wouldn't turn you away if she realized you were earnest about it.

Zack's my dear cousin. [ Ah, that's right... that's where she recognizes the woman from. She's the ReVA woman. And more to the point, Cleo had... hehe. ] So you've got me, I'm one of his little relatives! I basically grew up with him.

[ That said... ]

But did she learn she'd fallen for me? That's probably the lynchpin for a serious woman like her.

Oh! I'm glad to be able to meet more of his family! And as for Cleo...I couldn't tell you. I think she's the kind of person that falls for someone slowly over time, so it's possible she knows by now. [She beams.] In which case, we'll have to fix the world so that you guys can talk to each other again.

[ There's a laugh at that. Honestly, she doubts it'll be the same. But brushing back some hair, ]

You make it sound so clandestine! Buuuut I can't say I disagree, even if I've got cute subs right now!

[She laughs as well, offering her hand out to Natalia.]

Well, shall we, then? I'm up for anything you want to do.

[ She'll take it, through she's taking it with her prosthetic left hand. It's not the most advanced or least advanced one ever, an acceptable model for the moment. But it clearly is not a bio-hand. ]

I get to dictate things?

[ Even with that mail collection? Fucking score. ]

[Oh. That's a little surprising, but only just a little. She's seen James' and Angela's robot hands by now, after all. Minako gives the hand a little squeeze regardless of whether or not she knows Natalia can feel it.]

Within reason. I've got a relatively squeaky clean reputation to uphold...but I do love pranks.

[ Far less advanced than either of those. This is just a mid-level one you can get in the real world - you can't move most of the fingers individually, it's clearly unnatural, she can't feel it. The simulated skin looks good, though?

Still, she smiles and, ... huh, pranks...

A finger on her right hand taps her cheek... ]

I'm getting a smoothie, first! But after that, pranks, huh...

To the smoothie place, then!

[She points the way forward and gently tugs Natalia along, throwing a curious look behind her shoulder.]

Any good ideas?

[And potential victims?]

Hmm... I suppose... no, Eren isn't a good butt for these things, he'd get frustrated.

[ Good.

Question.

She hums a little bit and seems to consider as she rolls her head from one side to the other. ]
