"Nn!" Ayaka nodded and hurried off. Just how long had she been on break!? Now, to get these dishes to the kitchen, and fetch some tea... For a moment, Takeo just stared after Aya-chan. It was hard to believe this was the same person: from 'manipulating' a Jounin into 'fessing up (which probably only worked because he allowed it to) to wearing normal clothes to pulling her hair back, it was almost like a different Ayaka. The rest of her was the same, though, especially the way she tried to avoid attention at every turn. The heck was she doing working as a waitress, though!? "Y'know...." he observed once she had scurried out of earshot, "maybe it's just me, but I don't think I've ever seen her move so fast." It wasn't long before Ayaka made her way back to the table - empty-handed for now, except for a large bin - and began clearing away the rest of the dishes. "Sorry I ran away so quick," she explained a little embarrassedly, "but I kinda forgot how late it was getting. Ryuurei-san, your tea is almost ready. It just needs to brew a little longer."

"She is....very enthusiastic about the job, it seems..but..That is a good thing, yes?" Utsuro remarked, thankfully finishing before she returned to clear the booth. He did what he could to help her, carefully stacking dishes to hand over. "There is no reason to apologize, Ayaka-san. Work is important, after all. I should apologize if we distracted you any.." For his part, he simply smiled and nodded, watching the trio interact. There was no need to rush on his account after all, and really, they were quite...amusing to observe.

"Ah! No! You shouldn't apologize, Tstomegi. Actually..." She paused a little, slipping into one of her genuine smiles. "It... makes me really happy that you guys came to see me. So don't worry about it, okay? "I'm still learning how to do this anyways," she explained after a moment, finishing up clearing the booth, "and I think obaa-chan was glad I sat down for more than ten minutes. I think she might start sending me home sooner if I don't cut back myself... "Ah! I've gotta take this back, but... is there anything else I can get any of you? I think Hikaru-kun made dessert..."

"It is good that she ensures you do not work yourself too hard. In my travels, I have heard many a horror story of peoples' employers, so you are very lucky to have found such a place, Ayaka-san." Utsuro replied with a small, but very obvious, smile. "But I am fine, thank you. I would not want to wear out our host's hospitality." Grinning a bit in self-satisfaction at some of Tsutomegi-kun's words, Ryuurei just relaxed in the booth and shook his head. "No thank you, my dear. Just the tea will be fine."

"Actually," Takeo-kun began when Ayaka looked in his direction, "could I have some of that dessert? Oh, but I'm gonna pay for it, so don't worry about... y'know...""Got it," Ayaka said with a nod, shifting so she was carrying the bin a little more securely. "I'll just take these back and-- whoa, that's weird. I've never seen a bird stare in here like that before. It's kinda creepy. Well, I better get these back. I'll be back soon!" A bird? Staring into a cafe? Maybe Aya-chan had just happened to look at just the right time and... .... no. No, that bird was definitely staring. Perched upon the branch of a nearby tree, there was a huge black crow just staring in through the cafe's large front window. It didn't even move that much. Just... stared. At him. He gave an involuntary shudder at meeting the thing's eyes. What on earth was up with that thing!? "Jeeze," he muttered, breaking eye contact with the crow and returning his gaze to the other humans at the table. "She's right. That thing is creepy."

Blinking, Utsuro looked out the window. Prior to this point, he had actually not seen that many crows in Konoha. Which was, in his mind, rather ironic. This particular specimen WAS rather large, and staring quite intently into the building, and it seemed to unnerve Takeo-sama quite a bit. "Maybe...it is hungry?"

"Maybe," Takeo mused, risking a look back out the window. The crow cocked its head at him. Takeo blinked. Was he seeing things? "Yeah well," he sighed, turning back to the table, "it's not getting any of my dessert, so it can just go beg somewhere else."

"I doubt it would be very healthy for the bird, anyway." Ryuurei commented, paying the situation little mind. A crow staring into a cafe currently containing a Uchiha. The irony would be almost palpable, if he bought into such ludicrous speculation. Which he didn't. "I...do not think that is either.." Utsuro remarked as he stared out the window. Following his gaze, the Jounin sighed. " Kyousei-kun..." "GO ON! SCRAM!!" That HAD to be the biggest crow he'd ever seen. And that was saying something. Probably the most stubborn, too. Chucked rocks hadn't even phased it, scaling the tree had done nothing. There was only one course of action left. "I wonder what crow rotisserie tastes like.." The energetic young man grinned as he lunged across the branch and all but tackled the over-sized featherbag out of the tree. It finally got the message, though, and took flight after a dazed moment on the ground and a few angry parting pecks. Getting to his feet and dusting himself off, Shichuumaru nodded in satisfaction. "Good riddance."

..... what..... the...... Whatever the heck just happened, it had to be one of the funniest (and most relieving) things Takeo had ever seen. Which would explain why he was now laughing so hard he was having trouble breathing. Ayaka had just been on her way back to the table with her friends' orders when an ordeal outside nearly made her drop her tray. .... what on earth was Shichuumaru-san doing!?

That kid...has some issues."I...think he was protecting his partner..." Utsuro softly rationalized, answering unvoiced questions. "It is some sort of beetle larvae, correct? I imagine that would be quite to temptation for a bird...especially one that size.." Now then..what was he doing. Walking....somewhere. Catching that creepy crow eying Gabu had thrown him WAY off track.. " Buh?!" As if summoned by his thoughts, the larva popped back out of his hiding pla-...carrier...and promptly took to looking around curiously. "It's gone, don't worry!.....What, something else? What's up, buddy?" His partner didn't answer, instead crawling up to the top of his head and continuing to peer about, a nubby appendage shielding his eyes from the sun. " BUU!!" Crying out suddenly, and rather exuberantly to Shichuumaru's ears, Gabu propelled himself through the air... ...and smack into the window of the cafe with a heavy thud. " Gaahhhhhhh..."

"Here's your tea, Ryuurei-san!" Ayaka said in her best happy waitress voice, "and your dessert, Takeo-kun. Hikaru-kun was really excited people are ordering it already. Are you sure you don't want anything, Tsuto-" THUD."Gyah!" Ayaka exclaimed, nearly dropping her tray before snatching it back up again and whirling around to face the direction the noise had come from, brandishing the tray like a weapon as though she expected to be able to accomplish anything (or need to, with a table full of ninjas right behind her). ........... "Ah. Ah!" she exclaimed, understanding at last, lowering the tray as she lifted a hand to point. "It's Gabu-kun!" "Gabu... Gabu..." repeated a somewhat out-of-breath Takeo-kun. "You mean the bug from the other day? That time with the tree?""Nn." But what was he doing on the window of the cafe?

"Perfect timing, Ayaka-chan.~" Ryuurei sighed, pulling his head up from his hands. He definitely needed that cup of tea now. Taking it up, he savored the warmth and flavor, because he knew what was coming next. " Yes, Takeo-sama, that one. I hope he is alright, that could not have been pleasant.." Utsuro responded. "The heck are you doing? Gonna knock your brains out doing stuff like that!" Shichuumaru chastised as he peeled his partner off the window, knocking on the surface softly "It's glass, you can't go through it! Man I can't wait for your eyes to get a little better. I-...ehh?" Peering into the window, a broad grin swept across his face. "So THAT'S why!" Darting into the cafe, he waved across the room. "Oiii! Aya-chan! Sensei!"

Ayaka grinned, trying not to feel a little overwhelmed by all these familiar people showing up all of a sudden. Well, at least they'd chosen to wait a few days. Had they come to pay a visit during her first day on the job, she likely would have fainted with embarrassment at being seen in her uniform. It sure felt nice, though, having friends who could just appear like this. "Shichuumaru-san!" she exclaimed softly. "You too? Seems like everyone's here today... Ah! Can I get you anything? We have menus if you've never been here before..."

Ah, right. That was why Shichuumaru didn't go into restaurants much. He could see people balking at Gabu already. Still, he grinned all the same and moved closer to his friend. "Good to see you too, Aya-chan! 'Me too'?..Ah, it's that Tsutomegi kid and Uchiha-san too!" Laughing, he smirked a bit. "All we're missing is the tree!" "But I didn't know you worked here!...Actually, I didn't even know 'here' was here! That's really cool, though. I was just wandering by when this wicked huge crow started giving Gabu the hungry eye, and then Gabu threw himself at the window...and...well..here we are!"

"I just started a little while ago," Ayaka explained. "I actually haven't seen you since I stared, so that's why I didn't say anything. But..." She tilted her head a little, seemingly considering something before she continued speaking. "I'm not sure the tree would fit in here, Shichuumaru-san."
