"I'm no good critic for my own stuff, but I did get top marks in art class back in high school." Nisa jabbed a thumb at herself. "Barely even tried. I guess it's a 'natural talent', as they put it. But I'm not really the biggest fan of painting... I just do it 'cuz I can."

She shrugged. "Well, there are up times and there are down times, but I'm still living with my parents, so they provide most of the time. Only reason I'm working at all is 'cuz I don't wanna feel like a waste of space."

As the waiter walked over, she waved him up. "Heey! We got a new guy here! Got a menu or two?"

Desmond waved a hand. "Just tell me what the specials are. If there's less than four, I'll take all of them."

Turning back to Nisa, Desmond inquired deeper. "Your parents? They nice folks? Must be, to keep their daughter in with them when most would shoo her out."

As the waiter walked off, Nisa tilted her head. "Eh, they're decent guys. Get on my nerves sometimes, but don't all parents? All things considered, I guess my parents are pretty normal. And it's not like I fight 'em a lot or anything. Hey, I'm an only child, I'll take all the attention I can get."

She waved her hand. "But enough about me. Ya like talking about yourself? Or is that taboo? If it is, I won't bug ya. Just curious."

Desmond shrugged. "Not much to say, really. Got into major shit as a child, and got conscripted as a result. Wasn't too bad, Ikarugans are nice folks in general. Got my Armagus from them, at any rate. I could go on, but I don't want to bore you or anything."

"Ain't boring," Nisa insisted, shaking her head. "It's fun just listening to people talk. If they don't mind talkin' about their past, then... all the better."

She folded her arms over the table and rested her head atop them, leering out at random passersby. "Ya know, even from what I've heard about you, you're a pretty interesting person. Wouldn't mind getting to know you better... if you got room in your life for friends, of course."

"Well, I wouldn't mind having friends, just never really put any effort into making them. Too much other stuff going on, you know?"

Desmond sighed. Of course she doesn't know. She's a goddamn social butterfly.

"Well, you sure aren't a bad place to start. So...where was I? You wanted to know more, right?"

"If you don't mind," Nisa stated. "Not gonna pry if you don't feel comfortable about it."

Desmond shook his head. "Nah, I don't mind. Gets a bit dark from here on, though, so be ready."

After giving her a couple moments, Desmond continued.

"Well, I was trained for a while. Ikaruga's got some damn fine ninjas, though they get loud sometimes. Turns out I've got above average seithr manipulation ability, which was why they gave me the armagus. Turns out I was supposed to be some kind of super assassin, but never really got the chance to do much, war being over in an instant."

Desmond shrugged. "Unfortunately, it got a lot harder to keep food on the table after my sponsor kicked the bucket. Went into vigilantism, got a lot of shitty assignments. Political opponents, not criminals. People that have no reason to die besides speaking out of turn. Probably because I'm damn good at not leaving traces. I still do that, but only when I need food bad. Feels wrong, you know?"

Desmond coughed. "Sorry to go on so long. You're probably tired of hearing me talk by now."

"...Huh. You're something else, I'll give you that."

Nisa grinned and lifted her head, shaking it once before settling back down.

"Nah, I'm cool. Was fun hearin' aboutcha. Not every day you see an Ikarugan turned vigilante."

For some reason, she couldn't help but feel that there was some irony in her statement; waving it off, she eyed the waiter as he approached with their food.

"Anything else ya wanna hear about me?"

"Just one I can think of, and I hope you won't punch my face in for it. Why an electrician? Not something...well, it's not a job that a lot of women get into, ya know? And that Ars...fits you damn well for it."
