"Yeah.. sure. Since you said aunt, I would imagine her sister is here as well." He said. He supposed now he had a freeway into the funeral, an easy opening to target Nina. This might be over sooner than expected.
"Yeah, it is a shame isn't it." His grip tightened around the wheel. To think something like this would ever happen..
They made it to the restaurant. Orin parked in the front, and it seemed that it wasn't that busy at this time, but it still had some customers in it.
Orin got out of the car and opened the door for Diana.

"You know my mom, too? How do you even know her? She's always on business trips and handling businesses. You know, business stuff. That sort of thing. Well, then again, you are driving an expensive car, and a white suit."
Once they made it to the restaurant, Diana made her way inside, while the vehicle was being worked on.
"Well, enough of this depressing stuff, you don't tell me much about you. What do you do for a living?"

"Me?" He said as he looked through the menu book and placed it down.
"I'm a bartender back in Japan. Simple gig, nothing too exciting." He responded simply.

"Then where do you get all this money? How do you even know my family? Only rich people know them, not some guy who makes drinks."
Diana was very confused here. If he knew her family, then how would he know them. He's young, and he mixes drinks. And he's rich. Oh right, maybe he has a rich family. Inheritance money. Tournament winnings. Dude's rich.
"Actually, never mind forget I said anything. I was being blunt."

"Perhaps you were." He said to himself, thanking her naivety for getting the way of her thinking.
The waiter came by, asking for orders. "I'll have medium-well steak please. And water to drink." The waiter nodded as he wrote the order down.
"And you ma'am?" He asked Diana.

"I think I'll just have a grilled chicken sandwich with steak fries please." Diana said to the waiter.
Still it didn't make sense. Maybe he just happened to run into the two when they go out to the bar. Who even knows? Why does it even matter? He won't go to prom with her, only as a "friend", he says. And she was hoping she could show him off to her family at the funeral. But alas. Oh well.

As they were waiting, Orin knew by the time they started eating there'd be really be no time to ask questions.
"I already know the where the funeral is being held, but could you remind me? It's a little hard for me to remember right now." He asked her, hoping to be able to seemingly attend the funeral as a guest.

"I actually have no idea. I think it's some church. I don't know which one. Probably at a cathedral. I don't know. I was just thrown into the mix." She shrugs. "To be honest, I don't know anything about my aunt."

'Damnit.' He said to himself. There was a way to solve this though.
"Well, perhaps you can give me your number, and we can find out together at the service. You can just text me the address of it when you find out." He said to her calmly.
The food eventually came out, both orders being served to their rightful orderers. The juicy and meaty steak was well tenderized, sear lines over both sides as it sizzled and waft it's smell up both Diana's and Orin's nose.

Diana smiled. "That sounds good to me." She then grabs a napkin and asks for a pen. She jots down her number and smiled as she handed it to Orin. "This is my number. Don't forget to call me, okay?"
Finally the food came out as Diana began to dig in. She enjoyed her chicken sandwich, as well as her fries. It was so good. Plus, what really made her day was that Orin now had her number. There was still hope, and still time.

Orin ate the steak at a well pace, although he savored every bite. He hasn't had steak this good in a while.
"Of course. How could I forget to call a cute girl such as yourself?" He said to her, obviously trying to flatter her.

"Exactly." She smiled. "So, can you tell me how you know my aunt Anna? I'm curious. Unless... that's too delicate for you."
She understood if he was too heartbroken to even say anything.

She trapped him in a corner and got him right back out.
'There's no way it will be this easy. Don't loosen up too much.' He said to himself.
"Yeah... it's something close to my heart you could say." He said in response to her question.

"I'm sorry to hear that. Maybe I'll ask you later. And I'm guessing you knew Nina, too. Right?" She said to Orin. "That's no surprise at all."

"Yeah, another... friend of mine." He said with a pause. He finished eating and the waiter came by with the pay book. Orin put his credit card in the book and waited for it to return. Once the waiter did return he handed her a tip of $70. "Thank you for the service." He said as he nodded to Diana to leave out of the restaurant. He opened the door for Diana for both the restaurant and the car.
"Where to next? Maybe just drive around?" He asked her.
