Yeah, I probably will.

[ He nods, making his way up the stairs. Normally, he isn't really used to the bar and club scene but hey, it's for a friend. So into the pub he goes.

The minute he's in, Eno can't help but compare it to an izakaya. It's roomier, more about wood paneling and individual tables and a bar instead of the countertop and stools he's used to. Instead of salarymen, the place seems to have more foreigners in it. There's nothing on skewers but it's more about draft beers and pub fare. ]

...well this is different.

Very English. [The fact Izumo says it in English probably doesn't help either.

But he does take a good look around the room. He hums, it does seem to appear more as a pub than an actual bar that one would usually see in clubs or even just countertops in a restaurant.

Izumo glances at Enomoto.]

Well, let's try it out.

[ He only understands the barest amount of English but at least enough to get by -- and enough to agree with Izumo at that. It's definitely English.

But Eno's just going to shuffle over to the bar, eyeing the beer list. ]

It doesn't look so bad. Definitely a different sort of crowd.

[He follows after Eno, eying the crowd currently gathered in the pub.

Then he looks back at the beer list.]

As I've said, very English. [Izumo peers at the beer list more closely.] They really do specialize in draft beer.

[ He's just trying to look casual now, arms resting on the bartop. ]

So that's what's popular in the West.

[ Talk about a fish out of water situation though. He's staring semi-confused at the list, not quite sure what to order. ]

I'm.. actually kind of not used to this sort of thing.

[Izumo chuckles.]

The West does prefer their draft beers than orient drinks, I suppose.

[But Izumo studies the list a bit longer, finally finding something that interests him.]

Would you like me to order something for you then?

I guess so...

[ There's a frown though before a sigh, and a small apologetic smile. ]

Yeah. I guess I can have whatever you're having. If you know your way around places like this, I'm sure you know what to get.

[He smiles, a bit amused.]

I'm flattered you have such trust in me to order for you. [Even though he can't be sure exactly where this knowledge came from, but:]

Alright. I'll order then.

[He attracts the barkeep's attention, easily ordering something for the two of them.]

It's better than going in blind.

[ There's a well-meaning smile back as he rests his arms on the bartop. ]

I mean... if you're looking to look around bars, you probably know better than I do.

Sometimes it's fun going in blind, too. It'll certainly be a new world of adventure that way.

[He chuckles, grinning.]

What can I say? I take an interest in bars. It's always enjoyable to see what they have to offer and what's so different about each one of them.

[Don't let him start rambling. It'd be terrible.]

I guess so. I just don't want to get in too deep over my head. Like... maybe if I end up ordering something I can't tolerate and do something dumb.

[ There's a small sheepish smile back and a faint flush on his cheeks, like he's just confessed to something embarrassing. ]

So... you're the sociable kind of guy?

You're not a lightweight, are you?

[But the sheepish smile and faint flush has Izumo looking curious.

Until Eno asks him that question, anyway.]

Ahh, I guess you can say that. Not exactly sociable, but I do like talking to people well enough.

I... don't think so. At least I'm not sure. Haven't really done any serious drinking to find out since I got here.

[ He can't help but chuckle when he hears that bit, relaxing somewhat. ]

That's the kind of trait that can earn you a lot of fans if you pull it off right.

Maybe we should change that, just to see what'll happen.

[Not that he'll try and get drunk himself, of course.

He tilts his head a bit, the words being somewhat familiar as it's being said.

A smile.]

Personally, I think my charms can work just as well.

E.... eh?!

[ Momentary fluster there buuuut he'll just calm down. Clearing his throat. Nope, still kinda flushed anyway. ]

W... well. Yeah. There's that too. Both at the same time might earn you more than just fans.

[Heh. Cute.

Enomoto's reactions are only fueling to Izumo's idea that this might be the anon from the other day, but he doesn't want to make assumptions.]

What about you? Do you have any fans?

[ He is SO not cute >m< ]

Not... to my knowledge. I'm really not the type who gets fans.

[ And yet there he is, femininely tucking his hair behind one ear before it flops out again. ]

[eno, you're not helping your case at all.]

Really? You seem the type that would get fans unintentionally.

[ Nope, he never does. ]

I... it's not that I want to get fans. I don't even think they're called fans in the first place...

[ Making it worse for himself ]

[A twitch of the lips as he leans towards Enomoto a bit.]

Admirers, then?

[Why do you do this to yourself, Eno?]

[ Because clearly when the rest of Scepter 4 isn't around, he's a very easy target. ]

Ah... no. Definitely no admirers.

[ Clearing his throat. Gods does he need some booze. ]

Really now? That's a shame.

[Speak of the devil, and here comes the booze.]

[ Sweet sweet inebriation. But he's not going to drink like a desperate man. He's going to nod back at Izumo in thanks, taking a sip from his drink. ]

I... I don't really know why I get the attention to begin with. It... just happens!

[ ...well someone's a lightweight. ]

[Eno, you just took a sip. A sip]

Have you ever considered the fact that you're attractive?

[ It can't be as bad as mister one-cup-tolerance. ]

A... attractive? Me?

[ Quiet staring as he takes half a mouthful. There's a slight brace at the bitterness. ]

No.. I... always kind of thought I never stood out.
