Cosmina's muscles gave out and she loosened her grip, allowing Kate's lungs to properly expand. "I love you and I'm sorry!" She wailed. Dan chuckled when Haruko was pulled off the ground by her eager friend. He honestly didn't know anything about Haruko's relationship with Leone. He was quite the outsider to all his supposed friend's lives. Being gone for years had just made his distant life even worse. He sighed and extended his hand when Haruko approached. "Ah... It was nothing. I'm sure you'd do the same." He shrugged after he shook her hand.

As Cosmina loosened her grip, Kate was finally able to inhale and fill her lungs with oxygen once more. She had never seen Cosmina this affectionate for her! It was an almost surreal to be in this position. "Uh...sorry I worried you! But hey, I am fine n-now!" Kate said, trying to sound confident. Haruko shook Dan's hand, giving a smile as she does so. "I would have, actually. I couldn't imagine losing either of these two...say, would you two like to stick around for dinner? It is the least I could do." Haruko asked, Leone giving a thumbs up. "Sounds fantastic. You in, big guy?" She asked, tilting her sunglasses down at Dan.

Dan stopped his half-turn to leave when offered dinner. "Well..." His stomach growled. He hadn't had a bite since Haruko called him up about Kate. Too busy getting over here. "I can't pass up free food." He shrugged. He quickly brushed as much sand as he could off his outfit. Not much he could do about the ocean he had stepped in and his sweat from fighting. "And don't call me that." He grumbled to Leone.

"Come on, learn to take a joke." Leone said as she rolled her eyes slightly, straightening her vest and beginning to walk toward Haurko's house. Haruko nods her head and motions toward the direction. "Great! The chicken's been slowly cooking all day, so it should be good by now. Let's head inside!" The seamstress exclaimed as she lightly prodded Kate and Cosmina to head inside. She was going to make sure both were inside before head in herself. Once everyone was inside, Haurko served the food and the group began to chat.
Later that night...
"Thanks for the food! I'll swing by in a few days to say hi before I go!" Leone called out as she put her shoes back on, opening the front door. She gave a small smirk as she looked back in the house. Haruko sure had changed since they were kids...even becoming a mother now! The mercenary soon waked out the door and turned on her phone to see what new contracts were in the area.

Dan rubbed his stomach as he left Haruko's house. Add "cook" to her "amazing traits" list, he thought. After fumbling to learn real cooking skills himself in recent months, it seemed rather impressive to know how to do it properly. "Thanks Haruko." He didn't look back, stepping off her front porch and pausing to look down across the beach. The breeze brought him the smell of the sea and pushed the waves slowly onto shore. He paused, thinking. The night air made him want to run, move. Fight. "I should find something else to do. That fight was too easy." His wounds still stung, but they were shallow. They wouldn't hold him back.

"Boring...boring...boring..." Leone scrolled through the contract list. Nothing seemed open in this area besides low level jobs like 'Disperse crowd next to store' or 'Beat up my ex'. She stops scrolling finally when Leone noticed a particularly interesting job; raid a gang hideout on the outskirts of town and capture as many members as possible. She smirked and turned toward Dan.
"Sounds like you're bored. Want to come bust a gang hideout with me? Sounds like they have some rogue mages in the mix." Leone offered, pointing to her phone. "I will even let you keep the reward for any members you knock out."

Dan grinned, ear to ear. "Now you're speaking my language." A little bit of him stirred at this gesture of friendship. He could certainly use more friends. And a connection to Haruko to boot. Not to mention he could use the money. He stepped aside to let her lead. "Just point the way!" The moon was high and the cool breeze felt good on sweating skin. It was a good night for a fighter.
