Ethan looked up at the stranger, lips curling up into a charming smile, "I don't mind at all, have a seat."

If Keiko sat down, he then said, "Names Ethan." He offered his hand for a handshake.

She smiled, and sat down. Keiko shook his hand, "I'm Keiko."

The shadows seem to shift a bit, watching the pair with a soft magenta glow.

"Nice to meet you, Keiko." Ethan grinned, then glanced at his menu again. "What would you recommend?"

Ethan noticed the glow, turned his head and looked. Seeing Tori, he waved.

"Have you tried ramen?", the vampire said to Ethan with a friendly tone. She turned to look at what Ethan was waving at then smiled at Tori. "Tori, if you wanted to join, you just have to ask", Keiko said.

"I have not, but that sounds good so I think I'll try that." He nodded, "Thank you." He ordered Ramen with just plain ol' water to drink.

"What she said." He grinned at Tori, agreeing with Keiko's offer.

"I'm fine, simply making sure you're safe" the daywalker said, using her job to disguise her jealousy.

(i think trauma has made her a bit over protective.)

(Its all good. Ethan's a cripple in human form, 'tis why he walks with a cane)

"Ethan, this is my bodyguard and romantic partner, Tori", Keiko said as she ordered two beef ramens. "Why don't you join us? I can't eat two ramens by myself", she said.

"Nice to meet you, Tori." Ethan grinned at her. Then he nodded in understanding to Keiko, "You're a lucky woman."

Tori reluctently walks over and sits down.

"I suppose i am lucky, but she keeps getting into trouble and making my life difficult. Im still find gears and burnt scrap metal from my last body." she pouts a bit.

"It's a tape recorder, wanna see how it works?"

He chuckled, "Sounds a little like my brother and sister." He said, making a mental note of what Tori said about scrap and body.

“I am sorry, darling”, Keiko says as she kisses Tori on the cheek. Three bowls of steaming ramen arrived on the table, and Keiko’s mouth watered.

Ethan dug in and he was glad to have ordered it. The Ramen is delicious.

“Umai!”, Keiko said as she grabbed chopsticks and practically gobbled up the ramen. A tray also arrived to the table; it had a glass of water and a bottle of sparkling lingonberry juice on it.

📖 Translation - Umai: Delicious in Japanese

Judging by the way Ethan saw Keiko gobbling up that Ramen, he had to assume the word 'Umai' meant something positive. He was not sure what it meant or what language but it was not hard to guess. He chuckled, grabbed his water and took a sip, "Now I know why you recommended it."
