"Yo Vipes! We're going out to eat, you gonna come with?"

Viper turned around from Ezela and to a pair of men bouncing towards them. Before she could even speak, Skull had already answered for her, "Of course they do! Viper doesn't let pass free food!"

Ezela crossed her arms over her armour, raising an eyebrow at her ex-pupil and the blinding purple that was the resident Immortal.

"I didn't hear anything about this?"

Sean grinned arrogantly, waving his hand at her, "This is ex. clu. sive. Just us buddies. And definitely no girls.

Ezela's right eyebrow twitched.

Beneath her hood, Viper expression turned flat, "You say that, but you don't even know if I'm male."

The idiot twins shook their heads, Skull said "No way. You're definitely a guy. There's just a vibe around you."

...She should feel offended at that, right?

The only other female snorted, "Vibe? Are you psychic to determine the gender of a vibe?"

"Maybe cause we stick to Viper so much he'd rub off on us." Sean said, nodding to himself, utterly convinced.
"...that's not how it works idiots. Now leave this topic be and tell me about that free dinner."

"Free dinner? I vote Italian."

"Denied!" was the consensus. "You always vote Italian! There's being patriotic and there's just being boring!"

"Besides! No body asked you Renato!" Sean sneered, his fist meeting Renato's palm.

"How about Vietnamese?"

Viper's lips curled. It was an instantaneous reaction at this point. "No. We had that last week. And also, none of the taverns anywhere would get us that. We're in Europe."

Li Jie pouted, sidling up to her "We're eating out?"

A pout should not look right on a man his size.

"No! No! No! No! NO! There's no We, just Us!" Skull whined.

"How about Malaysian? Some spiciness. Don't you like that Viper?" Li Jie asked serenely, completely ignoring the younger boy.

"That's the same issue." What's with his insistence? Was he feeling homesick?

"I want Italian so that's that, who gave you the right to deny me that? Who died and made you leader, stupid?" What's with that righteous tone?

"You're contradicting yourself bastard!"

Right on cue, Luce trailed in with Verde to her right.

"Oh, hi Sean, what brings you here?"

Verde scoffed, "More like, when isn't he here?"

Renato smirked. Skull sighed, seeing the expression. Sean attempted to body tackle him but he was a second too late.

"We're going out to dinner, we're deciding what to eat. I say Italian."

Luce blinked.

The crash when the pair of adult men landed echoed in the room.

Ezela looked at them as if they were the disappointment of her life. Viper lips twitched.

Skull, knowing everyone well enough -petty man childs basically- he could predict what was going to happen next, said, "Sean and Renato were fighting over who would pay for everyone. They're just too gentlemanly and wants to take it up themselves."

Everyone looked at him.

And you wonder why, Viper thought, that you're always on the other side of their harassment.

They didn't go Italian, but they did have turkey. And Skull had to hole himself up for the whole week in his room because contrary to popular assumption, Luce wasn't an angel and was more than happy to leave the bill to the two.
