“Compensation? What kind?” He sighed softly, crossing his arms, he wasn’t truly used to underworld dealings…not yet, anyways.

He smiled softly, laughing. “Well. I can’t tell if you mean that that person if you know is a compliment or an insult…”

“I wouldn’t particularly call you very inconspicuous. You don’t look like the typical person. It’s pretty easy to tell people out from a crowd in my line of work:”

“It’s not that I intend to find him. He’s easy to find…I need to know more about him, he’s a constant thorn in my side…so I just kinda need something to give me some hints, anything I can use.” Terry sighed softly, running a hand through his long blonde locks. “You can get that, right?”

@geomijulqueen.bsky.social Terry was in Yokohama. Reason being was that…well, if what he had been told was true. One of the people giving him trouble throughout his life was from Yokohama…at least, that’s what he believed. He sighed softly, his mission had been through a rough patch.

“Good! I’m glad! Shall we then?” Terry asked, letting out a soft sigh as he walked with Mai.

I’M SURROUNDED BY MAI…

“I know. I know.” Terry hummed, walking over and flicking her forehead “Pao Pao?”

“I was kinda hoping you’d come to see me…but ah well, I guess if you’re around, that’s good.”

“Mai!? How’d you get here!?”

“I mean I know that. Dumb Dumb.”

“And that’s hard to hear why?”

“Sorry. Sorry.Still though, what are you saying?”

“Me? Ego? Ya know I’ve never had an ego…least not that I remember…Ya know how the ol’ noggin is.” Terry let out a laugh, the one he tried to stifle, he often found himself hilarious. “I was here for a festival and now I’m staying for a little. Heard you’re coming to my neck of the woods too.”

@tensho-kicks.bsky.social “So you’re telling me, that I arrive in metro city 4 months ago. Just as you go on a vacation!?” Terry looks slightly incredulous, before stifling a laugh, a smile on his face “Talk about bad timing, Huh?”

“Mai. The fuck are ya saying?”

He laughed, pausing as he kissed her forehead “You’ll get more too. Jenet.”

“I was gonna do it anyways! Geez.”

He ruffled her hair, laughing again “Ask nice, and I might.”

Terry smirked, laughing softly “You’re something else, you know that.l

“You’re always flirting with me, Jenet…ain’t gonna work this time.

“You’re asking me…why?”

“What with!?”

“Sure. You make the call on what we do though, I’m not the one who lives off of fun after all.” He grinned at her, that typical earnest grin.

“True. True, but at least I know you’re doing good, though I miss your face, you’ve been gone for too long.”

“You know we haven’t met up in years! I miss it.”

“You too. You look good.”

“I guess so, Chun, but I don’t mind that one bit…”

“What’s so funny?” He asked, chuckling

“I could say the same about you, Chun-Li.”

May as well try a bandwagon on here.

“Expansion. More money for Richard, I suppose.”

“So do I!” He laughed, walking with her.

He facepalmed, sighing softly “I guess I stepped in it, didn’t I.”

“Alright! Let’s go!” He grinned, running a hand through his hair “Lemme guess. I’m paying?”

“Hey! Hey! You’re saying you’re down!?”

“Well. Maybe. Whatever.”

“That’s just how I talk! You really think I’m thinking like that?”

“Ooooh. Not every person can hold a fan and look pretty like you, Mai.”

“So do you! It’s not my fault that we have reputations!”

“What do I do that’s outta line, hm?” He asked, grinning.

“You sounding like that makes it sound like you missed me, Mai.” He laughed, heartily “Came to metro city just to see my ugly mug again, didn’t you?”

“Good point. Let’s go!” He grinned, smiling brightly at her.

“I dunno. You think it’d be too spontaneous?”

He laughed softly, ruffling her hair “Pao Pao? I’d rather chat over a few drinks.”

“Rock’s good! He’s getting older, making me feel old, then I see you and I feel even older, ya gotta give me your skincare routine.”

“No. Not that. Just, Mary’s got her work and all…it’s tough. We’ve always been, ya know, friends.”

“I dunno…I just wanna. Y’know, be free.”

“We’re too busy!”
