Hisui's own plate is less impressive. And certainly less piled up. But there's still plenty of meat.
"You know, I almost thought of asking Aiko-chan here," she says as she sits down. At some point, she'd managed to grab them some sweet drinks. "But then I told her something a couple of days ago that might make being alone with her awkward."

"Hm? Funny you mention that, I actually had lunch out with her yesterday. Lucky me having beautiful women taking me out for food, hm? Even if they're spoken for."
She smiles, "Did you want me to talk to Aiko-chan about the situation maybe?"

"Well, you do make eating such a joy," she says, grinning. "And no, I don't need you to talk to her. But I suppose you should know what I told her, too. Might make for interesting conversation between you two."
Smooth, Hisui. No way she'll think you have an ulterior motive.
"I told her that, at the time she was talking me into dating a sensei, I was more interested in dating her." A pause. "She was a little shocked."

"Eeeeh? That... hm... You know, that kinda surprises me too! I mean, not too much cause Aiko-chan is pretty and awesome and the best. But I certainly never got the impression you were interested in her in that way."

"I was very good at hiding it!" she cried out. "I had to be, because she was pushing me to date someone else. It took me years to realize the subtle approach was never going to work and I should have just told her."
She picks on some of her food.
"But she's all those things you said and more. Even if she did give me bad advice all those years ago."

"Hai, you had mentioned that."
Akane eats as she talks, though somehow she manages to do so in a way that neither gets food on her clothing, but doesn't look gross either. A practiced art of fitting words in.
"It is unfortunate... Still, you're happily with Fuyuko-san now, right?"

Hisui watches this. She's seen it before and she marveled at it then, marveled at it still. She never did manage to figure out how Akane was capable of doing that. She also suspected that it took years of practice to master.
"I am," she says, her smile bright. Even through the barbecue sauce. "And in case you're wondering, no. I don't feel that way about Aiko-chan anymore."
Even if, once in a while, you did wonder what it'd be like.
"But yeah, I'm in love with a tiny little Crane woman that I can carry in my arms like a blushing bride," she says, all too happy. "I'd rather not keep a secret from her, but I will. Because I agreed to and you're my friend."

"The Aiko thing? Well, if you agreed to then stick with it I suppose. I'm not one for hiding things myself, not on purpose at least. I'll forget about things sometimes, but I try to give a straight forward answer if I'm asked about something."

"Oh, she knows about that one. I don't think she really minds. It's the...Kuneho thing that I'm keeping from her."
She picks at her food again, perhaps trying to avoid being too closely scrutinized by Akane.
"Though I'd appreciate it if you did tell her. She deserves to know."

"You want me to? This afternoon fine?"
Akane says this somewhat casually, but then prefaces it, "...you're not still angry about that, are you? Cause, I mean, it's cool if you are. I'm just wondering."
