Day 7, Night (Closed) - Check Yes Hinata

Yoshinobu laughs from under the helmet, lifting the visor to reveal his familiar, grey eyes. They seem to sparkle at her playfully in the soft light of the lamps.

"Neko-ouji, the Cat Princess's older, more dorky brother. Only one girl I'm wanting to peep at tonight, and she just jumped on the back of this dork's scooter. I'm famished - hope you're hungry, lover girl." he quips back, closing the visor to his helmet as he does so.

"Alright, then. Hold on tight, Hinata-chan." Yoshinobu starts up the engine again, pops up the kickstand, and pulls out of the dorm area. It being a work night and somewhat late in the evening, the roads are fairly clear. This let's Yoshinobu push the scooter to its limits speed wise, which isn't very fast. Not nearly as much as Priya's bike, for sure. For his part, Yoshinobu tried to focus on the road like last time. A beautiful woman was essentially hugging him from behind, after all.

After around ten minutes or so of driving, the couple arrives downtown near the riverside. The restaurant is apparently one of the smaller ones - it can be found under some office spaces and apartments on the north side of the river. "This Shina. They have some of the best steak and seafood in the city. And tonight, the place is just ours."

"Well, I guess that one is on me. Probably doesn't help that the chef insisted when I told him my name." The place was pretty popular around town, frequented by businessmen for lunch and dinners after work. It wasn't cheap food by any means like yakitori or ramen, but it was far from the most high class of dining establishments you could find in Toshi Ranbo. Yoshinobu had been here a few times as a walk in and managed to keep a low profile, so he was familiar with the menu.

The Prince holds the door open for Hinata to enter, and the two are greeted by the staff nearly immediately. You'd be able to tell from the outside that the place was fairly small and intimate, with a friendly atmosphere - cream colored walls and wooden tables covered in white cloth. There was a bar where you could see everything the chefs did in the kitchen, and no more than ten small tables for two near the back and away from the chef area. The two were lead to the back after all the posturing and greeting from the staff, which Yoshinobu replied to graciously.

When they were seated away from the bar, the waiter left to fetch water. "Do you mind if I order some sake to share?"

Yoshinobu smiled at her playfully in reply to her own smirk.

"I much prefer a good night to an interesting one. On top of that, I have to drive after. Can't exactly get drunk and operate a moped safely." He looks to the menu, knowing a good Crane brew that he favored - light and aromatic, perfect for sipping. "This place gets its wagyu beef from the Moto lands. You can get a more traditional steak platter, steak sandwiches, or mix them with fish caught fresh from the river or shrimp brought over from the coast."

He gave Hinata a nervous look followed by a nervous chuckle. "I might get sandwiches and some seafood," he said seriously. "My sister has often teased me about my appetite."
