Ro blushed a bit at the comment, but hid it behind the menu. 'Okay, I'm on a real date, how the Hell do I start a conversation?? Ugh! I'm so lost and I've only been here for five minutes!' "So how did your day go so far?" she threw out there, hoping it would start up some small talk. -- Shikamaru waved an assuring hand. "It's fine. With economy these days it's difficult to find decent prices, or decent people..." he said, leaning on the sofa.

Deidei giggled. "Oh, by the way, you don't feel awkward about sharing a bed right, un? This couch is an uncomfortable mother fucker, un." she rolled her eyes, stretching out and grabbing her sketch book.
Gaara smirked. "Nothing has happened since last night. So, what do you want to order?" he asked, treating it like the date was just like last night, a casual conversation. why work it up to something different?

shikamaru shook his head. "I'm fine with it," he said, trying not to sound sleazy or anything. -- Ro tilted her head. "I'll get the Haddock," she said. "What're you getting?" she was trying to compare what happened last night to what was happening now. Last night wasn't so semi-formal. Last night was half-buzzed bantering... Still, she differentiated this as an official date, as most Virgos do, and was trying to put on a good image.

Gaara looked at the menu, "My normal." he said to the waiter, handing the menu back. He rarely ever got something different. "So, what ended up happening with deidei?" he asked. ~~~ Deidei smiled and stood up, hugging him breifly. "Ok, I'm going to go take a nap though, un." with that she waved and headed up the stairs. She didn't have another job for a week anywho.

Ro handed her menu back as well. "She got with Shikamaru, apparently, and didn't rejoin the Akatsuki..." she smiled. "I'm glad she did both. The Akatsuki was bad for her, and Shikamaru's going to have a good effect on her future..." -- Shikamaru nodded and waved her goodnight before he picked up the dropped newspaper and searched the classifieds for available jobs..

Gaara nodded, "Yeah, and it's good for me as well. Means that I now have the oppertunity to take her on as a full time shinobi." he mused aloud, shrugging he looked to her, "But let's not talk business right?" ~~~ Withing moment, Deidei was asleep on his bed, having kicked off her leather pants, optin to sleep in her corset and lace undies on top of the sheets. He'd have a shock if walked in soon.
xDDDD

Ro nodded. "Right...So, uhm..." she tried to think of something to talk about, "What've you been up to lately?" 'COUGH COUGH. YOU'RE GOING TERRIBLY.' 'AAH! JIHARU!' 'Invading your date. I may just take over and speed things up.'

Gaara felt Jiharu's pressance in the shift of Ro's features. "Tell you're bijuu I said hi." he smirked leaning back in his chair comfortably.Ro-chan really did get nervous over nothing didn't she?

Ro blushed and looked down, fidgeting under the table. "Sorry, I've never really been good at holding conversations and things like that...or making small talk in general." Jiharu was laughing at her. "Jiharu says "Hey Shukaku"." Ro replied nonchalantly. Finally the food arrived. It was only then that Ro found a subject. "So, what's it like in Suna?" she asked, curious as to how people could live in the desert.

Gaara smirked, "It's hot." he said bluntly, after a short pause he decided to expound upon that. "We wear long clothes to keep the sun from burning our skin, but all the fabric is extremely light because of the heat. At night we normally sleep under heavy comforters because it get's so cold that you can see your breath. It's amusing really, the desert is a land of such extreme opposites that it's rather interesting to watch how one can change to the other in a matter of minutes." He looked thoughtful, like he was remembering things before continuing, "The people there are rather conservative, voting to keep things the same then change, but if they like the Kazekage, then it's easier to deal with them. Also, we have underground water sources, there's not much there, but it gets us through the days when the stored rain water starts to wan. Another way we collect water is with cactus farm, the plants soak up all the water in the surrounding area and store it in thebranches, when extra water is needed, you cut open the base and drain it."

Ro listened intently as Gaara explained life in the desert. She was relating a lot of things he was saying to her own thoughts and philosophies. How she would love to visit the desert...Such a vast proportion of sand and horizon would be a wonderful place to sort out her thoughts and find her inner self. A very artsy, almost isolated place. "The heart of a Desert Nomad," she said quietly, almost interrupting him. She shook her head and continued to listen until the end. "Wow," she said with intrigue, her warm eyes looking into Gaara's from the seeming distance, "The desert...it sounds so...spontaneous." she commented, cracking a smirk. Spontaneous, right. Was that the right word. "Spontaneous, yet calm at the same time, like the gentle ocean...I suppose that's why evolutionary theory says that the deserts were created by oceans dried but, I ramble. The city is much different, much more furious..."

Gaara nodded, "The city is much different then where I'm used to." he chuckled, "And I don't mind the ramble, it gives us something to talk about after all, Ro-chan."

Ro smiled warmly, looking down into space a bit with a dazed expression, her long eyelashes shaded her deep eyes. "The city...Back in Boston..." She began to explain, and with the more she recalled a memory, the more dazed in thought her eyes would turn. "...Well, where I lived anyway...It was pretty rural, but everywhere was close together. Everyone knew each other. We were basically one giant family if you grew up around the Area. East Boston, the outskirts, had a lot of trouble though. In the city, you're not to be too friendly with strangers...You don't look as them, or talk to them. Everyone just passes you by, like rain. You see the same drop again, eventually." She tilted her head a bit. "The occasional gang fight broke out, but nobody inside the houses were hurt...but the city is such a devil's nest. Just next door some lady was selling Heroin." She shrugged and looked up, smiling almost instantaneously. "But it was different for those living in North and West Boston. Rich areas. Lots of wealthy people."

Gaara nodded. "You find places like that a lot now..." he said. After a moment of comfortable silence the food arrived. "Idikimatsu ((IS PROBABLY SPELT WRONG >.<))" he muttered, breaking apart his chop sticks. ~~~~ Deidei groaned, rolling over in her partially awake state, trying to breath through her nse, but to no avail. Great. She was sick after all. Sneezing as she sat up, she reached for her leather pants, slipping the cool fabric on over her abnormally warm body and slouching down stairs, flopping onto the couch and across Shikamaru's lap, pushing the news paper he was reading out of the way so she could curl up comfortably, seeking comfort in her horrid state.

Ro nodded and smiled once the food arrived. It smelled heavenly. "Itadakimasu," she replied. -- Shikamaru had left Deidei to his house for the day, as he had gone out job hunting to earn a few extra Ryo. surprisingly, he found a job catering at some restaurant called Giovanni's. He didn't mind it, but he couldn't stand that slut waitress Bianca.... [[SHE IS EVERYWHERE...]] He had left a note on the stand beside Deidei before he had left.
