I have business to attend to, and tomorrow will be all the more irritating if I'm trying to navigate a city for the first time on top of actually accomplishing my tasks. Learning the terrain means less wasted time, so unfortunately if we stay here, I'm not working.
[and that's not anything she can accept! there's the slightest wrinkle of her nose when he tries to hold onto her hand, but fine, whatever. she's going to keep trying to head for the door then, pulling him along if possible.]
And if you're broke, shouldn't you avoid biting the hand that'll feed you?
[ "pulling" is the operative word here. he keeps ahold of her hand if she doesn't wiggle out of his grip, taking his time as he follows her at his own pace.
This really isn't a job for someone like him... but Yang is nothing if not capricious. The idea of escorting her around the city sounds amusing, so he'll play along. For a while, anyway, until he gets bored. It's that simple. He half-listens to what she says. ]
Think of it as the pleasant kind of bite.
[ should he tell her that he lives here and can easily navigate... no. he'll let her get lost first, and then he'll maybe think about helping... that sounds more fun. ]
[annoying...... something in her expression is so obviously withering and annoying when she looks back at him but - fine. at least they're headed out.]
Don't be in such a hurry to get your teeth knocked out...
[should she be arguing and threatening her bodyguard? no. but listen, sometimes some things escape her. can't be perfect miss tohsaka all the time.
at least they make it out to the town itself though, and she'll begin to head down one street, pulling out her phone because... she thinks... there's a gps on there... in theory......
well if she heads in the direction of the bright lights of town, she's sure it'll work out!]
[ he looks around idly at their surroundings as they go. Yang absolutely knows exactly where they are, but he says nothing, even as she pulls out her phone, because he's a little shit and wants to see her struggle a little. ]
Is that a threat?
[ he's still speaking in that lazy tone, but he seems excited by the suggestion?? please try and knock his teeth out, Rin. She did say she wasn't defenseless... He'd better find out what she meant by that. All part of being a thorough and chivalrous bodyguard, of course!! Making sure he knows his client's limits!! He's such a good employee. ]
[given the fact that every single mage in fate/ is absolutely terrible with any type of technology, he's going to see her struggle.... more than a little. she seems to not even be entirely aware of what app she's supposed to press in order to find the maps.
it shows in the little furrow of her brow but - she keeps looking up to make sure they're headed toward the lights of the city. it's fine. it's cool. she's got this. (she does not got this.)]
Are you really trying to push your luck with me this early?
[even though it seems like she's somehow fairly confident about her ability to handle herself - she won't protest a bodyguard, but it seems like she's got reason to be satisfied with her own skill level too]
[ he's laughing internally... and also externally, a little, judging by the shit-eating grin on his face as he glances over at her phone. But he continues. ]
I am curious about how well the young master can take care of herself. Taking care of you properly is my important duty, after all. [ his eyes narrow, catlike. ] You're so eager to clash with me. Is having a bodyguard so terrible? Or do you just resent him that much...?
[ he means kirei. he's sensing some animosity. . . ]
What you consider your important duty is something that I consider unnecessary. I've been able to take care of myself this long, after all.
[though as the words leave her lips - it's not as though she sounds like she's particularly mad about it? just self-assured. like she's very aware of how much she can rely on herself, and when she might need someone else. maybe tomorrow she'll rely on yang some more - but tonight it's just another mouth to feed.
. . . she pauses at a street corner as she looks back and forth, trying to determine which way to go. left? yeah, okay, she goes left. even though she's bad with technology, she's still fairly smart at least - and it won't be long until they find themselves downtown.]
But I'm not interested in showing all my cards either - you don't exactly seem like someone I should entrust myself body and soul too, titles aside.
Body and soul? This is just business. There's no need to be so intimate.
[ so passionate already, Rin. But he can't disagree with her statement. It's just common sense not to trust him - if she'd said otherwise, he'd only be disappointed. Yang is still curious about her capabilities, and her confidence only makes him moreso; however, she has, unfortunately, dragged both of them out of the house, and it would be troublesome to start a fight in earnest out in public. Instead, he'll focus on food. And her navigational prowess, or lack thereof. ]
Hoh... You managed to find your way downtown. I thought that was going to take another half an hour. [ lightly: ] If you'd like, I can give you a hint on where to go next.
[she makes a face when the word 'intimate' even leaves his mouth. sometimes you're from fate/ when you form literal pacts with servants that you summon and they're bound to obey you if you order them to - which she has absolutely tried to do before.
she's rather sure this partnership is going to be nothing like that, given the slight twitch in her brow when he points out that she absolutely nearly got their asses lost on the way here.]
What hint - is it going to be your favorite type of food?
[in which case that is NOT what they're going to be eating tonight]

Just some directions from someone who lives here. I'm trying to help. Or would you rather continue wandering around aimlessly?
[ trying to help while also not giving her actual directions and making her go out to feed him. it's yang-brand help. ]
