"Hah, very good Hinata. Very good"
The waiter comes and hands over the bill. Nade takes a few minutes to put her credit card on the tray for the waiter to take away and charge.
"I am really glad we had this conversation Hinata, I feel a lot better now. This was just what I needed"

"Same here. It's nice to have a normal conversation for once."
She looked at the bill and frowned.
"I didn't cost ya too much, did I?"

"Mmmmmm, it's okay. My parents are very generous with me. Only child syndrome. I'm given a decent amount of leeway with spending. Also, I think the meal could have cost 3 times as much as I'd still think it was worth it to have the kind of conversation we did."
The waiter returns and takes the tray, leaving the pair alone for a few more minutes.
"If you ever wanna just talk, you have my number. You can come by my room or we could find a place to hang out or I can treat you to lunch again... or I could dress up as a maid and bother you at work~"

Hinata chuckled.
"Please don't, I'm hoping I won't have to work at that dreadful place much longer."
She rubbed her temples and sighed.
"At least I met Yoshinobu out of it. That's worth it, in my opinion. As for your other offers, I'll gladly take you up on 'em."

"If you need a better job.. or just want another one I'm sure I can help you? My family has been running our breweries for centuries and now we make a large portion of the speciality booze market in Rokugan. Nearly every liquor store owes us so if you're okay with that I could probably get you a decent job there. It's still retail but there's no costume and the customers can be a lot more high class."

"I think I'd be okay with that, but...are any of your stores close to the school?"

"They're as close as your maid cafe. Samurai love their booze so they build a lot of places to buy it. Now it's still hard work, stocking shelves, doing inventory, cleaning up a bit but it's honest work. The pay is decent and you don't need to be all cutesy and nice to customers just because. Well I mean you still need to be nice but not as nice?"

Hinata smiled.
"I would ask if I have ever had a problem being nice, but then I remember how we met. I'm sure I'll be fine, though. I'd be grateful if you'd put a word in for me."

"I'll see what I can do, it make take a day or so but I'll definitely let you know as soon as I know." Nade leant back in her chair, pondering for a moment, unable to comprehend the chain of events just put into motion or where they might lead.
The waiter returned with her card and the final receipt which she placed back into her wallet. She stood then and brushed down her uniform.
"Shall we head out for dessert then Hinata? Don't want to be late for class."

No honorific at all? Hinata could deal with that, she supposed, though it did feel a bit uncomfortable. She would just accept it as part of the wonderful oddity that was her friend Nadeshiko.
"Of course. What were ya thinking for dessert?"
Hinata stood up and pushed her chair back in to the table.
