Who: Frau and Hattie
When: Valentine's Day, Noon
Where: Frau's Apartment then to the city
Summary: After an annoying day of 'work', Hattie goes to blow off some steam.
Warnings: None yet, if you know what I mean. AND I THINK YOU DO.

Hattie had a rather aggravating morning; she had spent so much time envying Ella for getting to work for Byakuya, and when the opportunity showed itself for her to step in, it had to be one of the most unsatisfying experiences she had ever gone through. She left the university in a sour mood, and took a ride toward the mall- But then an idea struck her, why go by herself when she had perfectly fine resources to access?

Should she call Larry? Not a -bad- idea, but that wouldn't do today.
Keigo? Not him either, that'd be -too- good a deed on her end.
Frau? Yes, he'd be the perfect person to be seen hanging around with on Valentine's Day! And, knowing him, he was at home doing nothing. Terrible.

And so she had the driver head off to his apartment without even calling. Hattie didn't bother to change, so once the car arrives, she's tromping up the stairs, in black slacks and white blouse under her winter coat, then knocks hard on his door.

Hattie wasn't exactly insulted, because Frau did pretty much hit the nail on the head. But that didn't mean she had to be happy about it and so she crossed her arms, and glanced to the side as she tried not to look guilty about it, "S- So? Maybe I would for the greater good or something like that!"

Though the 'greater good' in Hattie's case would likely be getting to the last pair of shoes on sale before her opponent.

She then looked to him, almost pouting. Almost, "Well, then what -can- you see me doing then?"

"It would depend on the situation," he admitted.

Frau's version of a time when Hattie might pick up and fight was a lot more than just the "greater good." He might be able to picture her doing something dangerous and strenuous if her life or the life of someone she cared about were threatened to a certain point. Other than that, he doubted it.

He had to think for awhile about her last question. He knew a lot of answers, but she probably wouldn't like any of them. It made it a lot more difficult for him to come up with one.

"I could see you trying to help with the coordination of supplies during a fight."

"I'm listening." was Hattie's reply, the moment he said it would depend. While her gaze wasn't scritinizing, she was honestly curious how Frau envisioned her. Though statistically, there wasn't any way he would say anything demeaning as he seemed intent on staying on her good side.

On the other hand, why fix a method that isn't broken?

The answer she gets, she isn't entirely sure how to react to, but it starts off as disapproving, "Oh what does -that- have to do with me de-" pause.

Pause. "Actually, that doesn't sound so bad. I like that. I also would have accepted 'cheerleader'."

Frau chuckled.

"I hadn't thought of that one, but I could certainly see that too."

And he could. She'd probably be really good at it too. Frau could easily picture Hattie screaming her head off to cheer on the people she liked. Like being the key word there. It wouldn't technically be related to sides.

Frau is so very very right, sides would hardly be a factor. Hattie seemed rather proud about Frau's agreement, though takes a moment to take care of the bill.

"Hmn, I should start heading back home," she pondered aloud, though added directly to Frau, "This was a rather interesting trip, we should to it again sometime don't you think?"

"I'm up for it whenever you are, unless I'm working that night."

He didn't think Hattie would do well at Purgatory. More importantly, he couldn't see her wandering around alone after sirens. It would likely get her killed.

Hattie almost squealed. There aren't many greater things in life than compliant man. Even if Frau is a little difficult on the conversational side. She supposed she'd be able to fix that over time, though, Hattie was used to men tripping over their own feet for her so could use a good challenge.

She wasn't very interested in Purgatory, mostly because Ella worked there. However she's already come up with a hair-brained scheme to go there and get him to show his powers so chances are she is going to try to get herself killed soon. Have fun with that! "All right, let's take a cab back, shall we? Oh, and by the way, you'll have to buy lunch next time."

Frau almost laughed at her demand for him to buy lunch. He certainly wouldn't mind doing so at home. Here he was a little strapped for cash though. Purgatory didn't exactly pay a lot, and he had no intention of getting another job.

"As long as it isn't somewhere expensive I can probably manage that."

Not expensive being really on the cheap end of things. He was almost broke after needing to buy all of the heating packs during the colder months.

And bam, there is her reason to go to Purgatory. While she hasn't the slightest idea what -kind- of food they serve there, she does know it is served- she also assumes that hey gets a discount there.

But she wants it to be a surprise so she doesn't tell him her idea, "Well then I think we have a deal." said with an almost catty smile.

And with that, they were off!

(OOC: And we can just handwave it from here? :o)
