"A serial killer!?!? No, absolutely not, if Richard were deraigned he would have killed me a long time ago I promise you."

The notepad was a bit surprising but decided it made sense given what she knew of Yori so far.

"What do you wanna know? I won't betray my closest friends confidence but I have no problem with helping you get to know him. Sweet stories, embarrassing stories, general trivia; I've got it all."

"I see, well that rules out a reasonably sized group of people as potential killers. Good to know."
Pen poised to take notes.

"What does he enjoy most? It is important that both participants in a date have their wants catered to to a reasonable level."

"Well if you mean in general he loves a good joke or funny story. He is super into comic books as you well know. I would say he's a bit of a foodie, he's had more of cooking than anyone alive so he's sampled all kinds of dishes from around the galaxy.

If you mean intimately then I couldn't really answer that, we've never really discussed his bedroom tastes.

If I had to guess what he wanted out of the date I would guess that he mostly want's to get to know you better and maybe geek out a little. You've been reading that manga right, he probably wants to chat about stuff like that for a while."

"Oh, I did not intend to ask about bedroom taste. But, he does enjoy manga...."
Yori shrugs as if that means everything.

"So, humour, good food, his manga. That is an easy list to work with."
This is all neatly scribbled onto a page
"And dislikes?"

"Hmmm. Well he hates messy people. Actually hate is a strong word, he dislikes when people are needlessly or thoughtlessly messy. Like the kind of person who spills something on a counter and doesn't clean it up or if their room is a trash heap. he can't really handle spicy food so don't expect him to be ordering curry for breakfast and he isn't a fan of gloomy weather. He's a big sunshine and flowers guy, oh yeah, he really loves flowers especially the fancy exotic kinds."

"Excellent, I cannot abide mess. Although it is a shame about spice, I suppose he is from the Commonwealth."
Tut tut

"He enjoys flowers? I know nothing about them, but I assume there is someone present in the company who does. All of mine seem to die very quickly."

She nods a few times before closing her notebook and looking up.
"This is all very helpful. Would you be willing to continue to assist?"

"Yeah, black pepper is about his spice limit unfortunately. I've tried to feed him all kinds of stuff but in the past and anything spicy is a no-go which rules out a lot of the stuff I grew up eating.

Yeah I would be happy to help if I can, what do you need? Nothing would make he happier than to see Richard happy and you seem like a great person so I will be rooting for things to go well."

"You clearly know how to be 'dangerously sexy'. But it is not something that comes easily to me. The dangerous is not so hard, but...the rest is more difficult. There may come a time where it would be nice to be such."

Unusually for Yori, she looks away for a moment.
"It is kind of you to say you are rooting for me, it is unusual to hear that."

"Why the hell wouldn't I be rooting for you? No, don't answer that it doesn't matter but I am rooting for you. So you...want advice on being sexy? Am I understanding you right?"

Yori blinks twice
"Well...now that makes me sound crude. More, what should I dress, and what mannerisms should I put on? I've viewed adult entertainment before and the messaging was both mixed and over the top. I do not understand why he would have to be delivering a sausage pizza to me."

Mei laughed so hard she had to grab herself. "RIGHT? I mean I like sausage but that is unnecessary. But I meant clothing and stuff like that. Well, what were you going to wear on the date, have you picked an outfit yet?"

Mei looked Yori up and down looking more analytical than normal as she tries to take her measurements.

"Yes, we agreed on something casual. I will a hoodie over a shirt and jeans. It is not dangerously sexy...I hope. We might have problems if it is."
Yori goes to the wall opposite the fish tank and starts opening drawers, her clothes all stacked and organised with military precision.

Mei walked over and joined her host, looking over the clothes but keeping her hands in her pockets for now.

"Nope, nothing dangerous about that but that doesn't mean it can't be sexy. My first thought would be to ditch the shirt and a bra and just wear the hoodie. If it's a zip up you could leave the zipper down and show some cleavage or it it's a tight fit the cool are will help you make a bit of a show for him. Jeans make sense especially if they are skinny jeans."

Yori blinks again
"Skip stage 1 of getting dressed? Is that allowed? Doing only stage 3 seems experimental."
Was breaking standard dressing procedure the key?

"Umm yeah it's allowed. Clothing may be mandatory but there are no rules regarding how may layers you have to wear, not on a date certainly. Especially undergarments, bras are annoying as hell to wear and are just one more thing getting in the way when it's time for some fun. If just the sweater is too much for you though then I would say wear a thin but not sheer tight fitting top, the hoodie over that but ditch the bra and if the weather is nice think about taking the hoodie off at some point.

Beyond that there isn't much you can do clothing wise on a casual dress breakfast date. I'm guessing you don't own many flowery sun dresses do you?"

Yori just looks at her.
"No I do not."
She steps forward and, like it's killing her, puts a bra back into the appropriate space before selecting an appropriate top and hoodie and holding them out with a critical eye.

"Like this? The hoodie is quite warm and the shirt is old and has no holes."

"That's fine, you probably don't own and ripped up jeans anyway. So a hoodie means no need for a hat, what about shoes? I've got some fur lined boots that match well with that hoodie if you fit a size 5."

Mei turned back towards the door to see what shoes were lined up there beside hers.

It looked like Yori had actually one of each kind of shoe laid out, although nothing fancy and probably not that far off a size 5

"I have boots...or...trainers?"
Turning to also stare at her own shoe collection as if it might suddenly have answers.
"I do not have fur lined boots though, are they best?"
