*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...

If any of them are standing out there when we leave, just point them out and I'll take care of it later. *by which he means, he'll do a hit and run.

... 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.

Ayup.

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...

[deepseahunter_shark]

I'll think of it as a thought experiment if you don't call me by my full name ever again. *he'll figure it out*

So, what do we do here? Do we... Actually try to do this marriage meeting?

[lunalightlady]

I kinda have to, but you're welcome to leave.

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.::

[deepseahunter_shark]

... Yeah, sure, let's go with five minutes at least. Just to keep up the appearances here.

*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...

::Takes a breath.::

Barefist or do you prefer additional weapons?

[deepseahunter_shark]

Barefisted is usually what results.

... I did take fencing for a while when I was younger, though. *appropriately rich kid sport that his parents probably signed him up for.*

[lunalightlady]

Ah. I tried fencing when I was younger, didn't work out, found I was more of a boxing kind of gal. That and knives.

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