[sorry to say that their cheesecake factory date is now the stuff of legends? from reim running low on funds to reim's cheesecake list to—well, you know. reim is a funny guy, hence kaeya's laugh as he—you guessed it!—files that away for later reference. you can ask. hmm! maybe he will.

but for now—yes, yes, heading back down the street with no real destination in mind. it is kind of nice to just Wander while chatting about everything and nothing; it's, like, a refreshing change of pace from exploring sumarlok's shadier areas, so stumbling into this (admittedly gaudy) park? love it. finding a quiet little nook within it? really love it. another thing to file away for a rainy day, just Because...]

[a secret rendezvous... ooh la la... or: he's just after a reaction.]
