*A few people close to Shark might know that "Shark" is just a fake name that he uses-- be it out of ego or wanting to make a name for himself separated from his family, no one's sure.
But family obligations always end up rearing their head, no matter how much one might be focused on, instead, tracking down people to murder.
Shark is not one to really go along with the social obligations required of him, but he undeniably cares deeply enough about his parents to at least make a token effort when it's pushed hard enough... enough that he's willing to at least take an hour or so of his time to do a Marriage Meeting that his parents have set up, once in a while.
This does not negate his absolutely bored expression as he waits for whatever girl was arranged to meet with him at a fairly upscale meeting room reserved for this purpose, already uncomfortable enough in the formal clothing expected of this, instead attempting to idle away the minutes by going over his current process of elimination for his own situation.*
... pretty sure the company must be situated in Domino or Heartland at this point... none of the shops in Maiami have barred me, since they're all owned under LDS as a majority... And Den City is quartered off by SOL and focuses more on the digital aspect...

Serena, similar to Shark, barely deals with the social obligations expected, but even while her brother and younger enby sibling don't put much pressure, there's been concerns and questions about the appearance of the vice president being unmarried and wanderlust driven.
So to avoid further shock to the company's prices due to the disaster involving the strange unearthly Tower that formed in Domino, she's putting up with trying to find the least shitty husband she can get, or at least the motions that she's taking the matter seriously and not becoming a Cat Lady.
She looks near unrecognizable from how she does in TV, wearing a red frilled dress mean to make her a showpiece. Hair has bee clearly washed and cleaned and pinned up to make her look more like a doll. White gloves.
You can tell she has zero interest in the clothes and wants out immediately.::
Excuse me, sorry for being late.

*Shark is snapped out of his thoughts by the arrival of the girl he's meant to be meeting with, and he stands up and tries to give as much courtesy as possible--
But then stops and stares at who exactly just walked through the door.
He has to take several seconds to decide how to respond to this, knowing exactly how Serena dresses for the Fancy Party scenario, so he recognizes her almost immediately. He finally settles on a response after swinging between "be a gentleman that's the intent here" or "cursing out loud".*
... is someone holding you at gunpoint to do this?
no subject
... Would you believe me if I said "The shareholders"?
no subject
... He sits back down at the table, feeling more awkward now.*
Since you didn't immediately turn around and leave at seeing me, I guess this is the room you're supposed to be in, huh.
no subject
And I assume you're the one with the stuffy as hell name. Kamishiro Ryoga.
::Snorts.::
And they're metaphysically holding me at gunpoint, not literally. So unless you can kickbox concepts...
no subject
So, what do we do here? Do we... Actually try to do this marriage meeting?
no subject
But, you're like the best possible case I think. So. Let's see how it goes for five minutes, and go from there?
::Crossing her arms, eyes closed, head tilted, hrming.::
no subject
*not that he disagrees-- this might not be the worst set-up, but...
... he hates that he's having to do the marriage meeting in the first place.*
I'm going to have to gather my bearings here a moment. Usually when I end up having to do these meetings, it all gets started by vapid courtesies and introductions...

Kamishiro Ryoga. "Shark". Valedictorian graduate of Umiirukademia, currently pursuing a Pro Dueling career, reigning champion of the biggest Riding Duel circuit around right now.
I also like punching things.
no subject
Barefist or do you prefer additional weapons?
no subject
... I did take fencing for a while when I was younger, though. *appropriately rich kid sport that his parents probably signed him up for.*

::Yeah, you seem pretty normal in terms of what's expected, just. A lil' off.::
