[ maya amano. amano. maya—that beach chick? that was with magato? or rather, is with. outside. in the heat.
all it takes is a look out the window at the still golden sun to worsen her mood.
this is why weather doesn't exist anymore back home. ]
Just what kind of information can I get from a social gathering celebrating a gossip magazine, Giovanni. You have three chances to convince me.

[ he knows, okay. sweating it out in a suit is not fun.
but Maya did invite him and he feels rather foolish making the trip out there by himself. ]
There is information to be gathered wherever there are people, wouldn't you say? Some of them have been there far longer than even I have.
At the very least, you could loosen your sour attitude with a drink. Do you have some prior engagement?

[ inhale, exhale. the heat is not going to overpower her. it will not.
but she still won't openly accept his extension so easily. ]
You're doing well pointing out a need for me to loosen up.
[ you should know better that her meeting people in person isn't something to encourage, especially if she's going to carry her sword around. ]
Whether or not I am available for such a field trip, I am not attending a children's party for those motives alone when I can do very much the same through this device.

[ ...haha! he can sense the vitriol even in her text.
it seems his first try had failed, though considering the recipient of his offer, that was to be expected. he'd hoped to avoid any measure of humbling himself but unfortunately, that has presented itself as the next best option. ]
Children's party? It's no such thing. Don't you remember the requirements of this place? You'll have to be on your toes for a suitable encounter.

You insult me thinking I'm not already. [ meaning: business done. at least... for one side that hadn't been hers... ] You insult me more attempting to make this seem beneficial for my adaptation to this place.
But elaborate on your "personal interest."
[ because that is more interesting. ]

[ ...my, she works fast. and in hindsight, it certainly had been thoughtless to expect they would have similar experiences in that way. it makes it all the more defining how poorly he'd been functioning here. ]
Very well. I'd enjoy your company. How much further can I elaborate?
[ don't make him. ]

Even the most vile company can be preferable to attending a gathering alone.
[ probably not the most persuasive comment to make but it at least absolves him of any strange vibe of friendliness that was tacked onto his request. ]
I made some mistakes in settling in here.

Old news.
[ touché. vile company that she is, she believes she's at least better than that sloppy-mouthed girl her brother was playing with.
but all right. all right. as he's being so insistent—plus his words are becoming more taxing to read than to extort—finally: ]
Fine. I will do you this favour, on the condition we make no associations with each other. I believe it would benefit the both of us to pretend we're strangers.

[ is it necessary to be so stringent? he'll play along for a lack of other options, but the effort does seem to be wasted. ]
As you say.
[ at least, he wouldn't make a show of it where anyone could listen in. if she'd still chastise him, then so be it. ]

[ well this is an unexpected bird call. it's late enough that frühling can respond to her message with little delay. she tries not to sound too pleased, but interest lies in her vocal timbre. ]
You'd like to take it up now, little girl? To what reason should I owe recognition?

[ a part of asami isn't even certain why she's doing this. she hardly knows fruhling, despite the woman having provided her with a ton of good, useful information, for virtually nothing. but while asami knows it'd be foolish to trust her completely, here she is... ]
I'm not a little girl. [ already, she fails. words spat out with more frustration than she would have liked, and she berates herself. struggles to keep calmer in the next line. ]
Something's come up. You don't need to know.

[ revenge? it sounds nice. lovely, even. it's easy enough to put the blame on amon for all her father's sins when the man himself isn't here to take full credit of them. but she knows her father had made his own decisions. no one had twisted his arm about all of this. ]
No.
[ revenge... is too simple. that satisfaction would only be temporary. ]
I want control.

[ a better answer. frühling can finally hear evidence of asami's potential. however, despite her offer and eagerness to attract this girl, the actual prospect of teaching befuddles the assassin slightly. what she knows and does had been developed by force. does asami feel the same pressure? would it be in her to abandon some of the humanity people seems to so cherish?
well. if she's taken this much time to come to her, then she must be prepared.
frühling breathes quietly; then, with a hard edge, like the turning of a blade. ]
We may continue speaking on this private line, or we may commence your training in person.

[ that actually surprises asami. she hadn't thought it'd be that easy. but then she's quick to remind herself that the true hard part is just about to begin.
with a breath not nearly as quiet as fruhling's, asami responds. ]
...in person, please. [ it's more out of respect and courtesy than a plea. but there is still a hint of a plea there. ] I don't know how much time I have to waste.

[ every other moment frühling is secretly doubting herself, not because she doesn't believe she can't teach this girl a thing or two, but because it startles her how much she's changed, how much she's interacting with others without cutting them dry.
it's different, but nothing frühling can't digest with a straight face. she sends asami some coordinates to a bar in the fire district. ]
I will be expecting you in no more than ninety minutes.
