Orin awoke as the plane landed, a dream of his loved one in peril. Guilt constantly overtook him during this journey. He almost completely turned back at the gate. He wouldn't be surprised if Nesta were to break up with him and hate him forever, especially since he never explained this to her.
He was dressed in his regular white and red jacket with matching white jeans with a dark red flame design. He put his white glasses back on and proceeded to unload his bags and exit out of the plane into his destination.
As he exited the airport, he breathed in and out in a long exasperated breath "The birthplace of Nina Williams.." he said under his breath in Japanese, a language he's so use to speaking.
A man in a black trench coat and fedora whistled. Orin looked over to where the whistle came from, and the man was standing next to more advanced version of an Audi R8. He motioned his finger for Orin to come over as he entered the car on the driver's side.
Orin came and enters the passengers seat. "It's good to see you Heckler, never though we'd get the chance to meet. The name's Dave." He stuck out his hand to shake. "I suppose you're uncle Dave. My dad told me a lot about you." He shook Dave's hand and they began to drive out of the airport.
"Me and your dad were very close buddies. Got each other out of situations every time. It was crazy how convenient one was for the other sometimes let me tell ya!" He laughed, and Orin somewhat cracked a smile.
"Broke my heart to hear about his death in a plane crash. I would've thought he would've went out defending you guys from the organization in a full on gun fight. But I guess the unexpected is still the unexpected. I'm sorry about your family, truly. When I heard that the only surviving passenger was a little boy named Jonathan Heckler, I knew I had to find someway to contact you. I waited a few years, waiting for you to grow up. And even then I kept hearing your name, even as you went under Orin in Japan. Winning tournaments, going to an extreme training regiment with monks, and even dating the Kazama daughter herself. You have quite a reputation to the outside world you know?" He explained as they continued driving.
"I would have no idea. I personally don't care for fame or reputation to others. And thanks I suppose." He said to him in response.
The tone suddenly shifted, to a much darker and bleak atmosphere.
"I know why you're here Orin. You've been training for this haven't you? Ever since you found out it was her." Orin nodded.
"I'll help you in anyway I can, but don't rely on me. I'm only one man, and I can only do so much. Now then, where do you want to stay for your remainder here in Dublin?"
"Somewhere that allows me to do what I need to do." Orin responded.
"I know just the place." Dave said with a smirk, as he drove to a tall yet private hotel called JAEGAR.
"Here." He held out 20 gold coins and put them in Orin's hand. "These will pay for your entire stay here however long that maybe. And by the way, this car is yours, I'll park it in the underground garage of the hotel. Enjoy, and good luck." He said to Orin before Orin exited the car and grabbed his cases of clothes and other things.
He went inside the hotel and the Bellboy at the counter was putting away a few papers. He was a white bald man with a gruff beard. "Ah Mr. Heckler. We've been expecting you." He said in a calm but pleasant voice.
Orin placed the coins on the counter, and the bellboy took it behind him and inserted it into a machine. He then took out a brass played key and handed it to Orin.
"Your room is 507. Enjoy your stay. " he said with a smile on his face. Orin nodded and went to his room. He put down his bags and cases and first got out the clothes and set them on his bed. He went to take a quick shower, seeing as it was still day.
After the shower, he put it a full white suit and black formal shirt underneath the white open white jacket. He then left the hotel to explore Dublin, get a lay of the land, on foot.

Diana didn't get too far, as her car had ran into some problems. She had to pull over as smoke came from under the hood. She then immediately recalled that there was a fire extinguisher where the arm rest is supposed to be. Maybe that was a hint. But either way, she's stuck, and she has to explain to her Mom that the car stopped working. She wasn't sure what to do at this point. Maybe she'll just use her good-looks and Williams' charm to win a hot guy over and convince him to go to prom with her. Sure. Maybe he can fix the car and get back before Nina notices anything.

Orin saw a car smoking, with seemingly a girl his age around it trying to fix it. He wanted to avoid the girl, but if she approached him he wasn't going to reject helping her.

Diana popped open the hood, after pressing every button that she could find and noted that the car was indeed smoking hot. Thankfully, there wasn't a fire, and she really couldn't see what was going on. All she saw was this big long block with some long tube next to it, and the smoke came from the block. Is that the engine? What is she even looking at? She turned around to see a guy of African-American descent walk by in a nice suit. Diana gawked at him. He's wearing some fancy suit. He knows money. She can probably convince him to allocate his "resources" to a girl in need of it.
She approaches him, careful not to appear to desperate. She had to play it cool. "Hello, sir. Do you think you could possibly give a girl... a little helping hand?"

Orin sighed inside his head, of course the thing he hoped for not happening actually happening.
"Perhaps, what do you require?" He said, although he said it in Japanese as habit.
"Ah!.. my mistake. I asked what you require." He said in English, apologizing subtly.

Diana couldn't let up, he has his full attention on her. Not to mention, she was surprised that he spoke in Japanese. Interesting indeed. Before she could reply in the same language, he finally asked her the same question in English. And she was going to answer him in English, since he insists.
"So, I'm driving this old car... and well... it just stopped working."

'Well I could tell that much..' Orin said in his head.
"Hm.. maybe I could help push it. Is there a mechanic somewhere near here?" He asked her. This girl was interesting, she seemed the same age yet younger. She looked like she belonged in Ireland. And yet when he spoke Japanese, she didn't look confused whatsoever on what he said, in fact she looked more... amazed.

Diana shook her head. "I don't know any mechanics... I was hoping you knew..." She tilted her head in confusion. "Well, um... I don't know where to go. Maybe we can look it up on my phone... and find the nearest shop.." She smiles nervously.
"If that car had a GPS inside, I would have used it, but it doesn't. So I guess I'll have to go look it up."
Diana then grabbed her phone to look up where she could find the nearest mechanic. "I hope it doesn't cost too much money. Mom's going to kill me. Like for real. I'm not joking."

He sighed, reluctantly wanting to say this.
"I can drive you wherever you need to go. I have a car back at where I'm staying. And perhaps we can call a tow." He suggested to her.

Diana's eyes lit up with joy upon hearing that he was going to drive her wherever she needed to go. They were also going to get a tow truck, but the driver better be careful. Very careful.
"That sounds really good. Please, lead the way. I could use a really good exercise... And um... thanks... sir."

He began to walk, leading her to the hotel. "No problem. I don't believe we've exchanged names at all." He said with a voice of optimism. With how he spoke it almost seemed as if he was happy to help this girl, when really he knew he could probably have her be his guide around Ireland, if she really is from here..
Although not knowing a where an repair shop is doesn't bode well with that image.

Diana nodded. "No, we haven't at all. Well, my name is Diana. I'm actually not from here, but my mom is. I wonder if my dad, is, too, though..." she muttered to herself.

"You aren't... but your mom is..." Orin said under his breath. He had gotten the idea but he disclosed it. Maybe he should become "friends" with this girl, get closer to her so she can reveal things such as her origin.
"My name is Orin. Nice to meet you Diana. And as you can clearly tell I'm not from here either. " He said, with a slight sense of humor put into it.

"My name is Orin. Nice to meet you Diana. And as you can clearly tell I'm not from here either. "
"Orin, huh? Name sounds familiar. You're from Japan, right? You're the airplane boy, aren't you? I remember that story! Well, that certainly explains why you speak Japanese, because you sure don't look Japanese..." Diana giggled a little. "But that makes, two of us. You're so big and strong! Quite handsome, too!"
