>Throw an arm around Eagle.
>Dragonhawk even notice us beckoning her?

>That catches all three of the Manari slightly off guard. Eagle recovers first, and grins ferociously at Lynx. "Boss Miko'd keel over if she could see us now." Both of her fellow Manari nod, Dragonhawk more grimly than Lynx.
>She did not, until now. She quirks one of her eyebrows, and points to herself in curiousity.

>"Yes, you. There's no reason to hide over there, is there?"

>The taller Manari gives Eagle a questioning look. The brown-haired Manari thinks for a moment. "Why not. Ain't the letter of the deal, but, I'm a flexible bird."
>Dragonhawk emits a sound halfway like a grunt, and pulls herself to her feet.
>"We'd best move back a bit, into the hall there." Eagle advises in her accented tone. "Give us a bit of room for my Sister there."

>Are Lily or Kiku showing any interest in this?

>With the practiced skill of a model before a camera, you spin, stride and pivot. Your skill, however, seems to elude the shorter Manari, as Eagle follows you with less flourish. Dragonhawk, however, watches you for a moment, and then moves out from behind her table, taking up a position to your left. You note some of the other restaurant patrons, specifically the green-haired girl and her oni friend, watching this display.
>Kiku shows only a hint of disapproval. Lily, now back on to you, hasn't moved from her position of resting her head in her hands.

Hello Purvis · « **Reply #219 on:** September 22, 2012, 08:34:57 PM »

It's probably better to use actual dialogue for things like that anyways.

>"Hey Lily, think you could take a decent picture of us?"

>"Hey Lily, think you could take a decent picture of us?"

>Lily does not reply immediately, then jumps in her seat. "Hm? What was that?"

Hello Purvis · « **Reply #221 on:** September 23, 2012, 02:32:06 AM »

>Snicker.
>"If you think you could hold a camera steady, could you get our picture?"

>"If you think you could hold a camera steady, could you get our picture?"

>She sniffs. "Uh... Yeah. Yeah, I can do that."
>She stands a bit slowly while the Lynx, looking a bit puzzled, asks you, "What, don't trust me with a camera?"

Hello Purvis · « **Reply #225 on:** September 23, 2012, 04:14:19 AM »

>"You're the odd one out, and there's no reason for that."

>"Uh..." Lynx mutters, the looks to your right. "Eagle?"
>"Eh, room for one more."
>As Lynx hands her camera to Lily, Dragonhawk says, a touch wryly, "Perhaps you'd like to invite that waitress, as well."

>"Would you like me to? I wouldn't mind."

>Dragonhawk snorts, and shakes her head in a negative.
>"One for her side." Eagle observes, which draws a scowl from her taller Sister. "But you have got me curiousity aroused here, Byakuren." Eagle continues. "Deal was for a photo of just you'n me."

>"I don't think so. But at the same time, I won't force you if you're feeling camera shy."

>A half-sneer half-smirk spreads across the face of the feline youkai. "Camera shy, my tail. Get behind us, Dragonhawk." she commands, marching forward. The tallest Manari grunts and takes a step backwards, allowing Lynx to take her place at your left side. Dragonhawk takes up a position behind and between you both.
>"It's different fer us, she means." Eagle says. "Ain't a lotta folks around would give a damn whether or not any of us felt bad, 'specially in a situation like this."
>"That or be afraid of us." Dragonhawk rumbles. You have to admit, it DOES sound a bit ominous, hearing that deep voice resonate from right next to you, flanked on either side by her fellow Manari.

>"So I see." the taller Manari rumbles.
>"Told ya." Eagle repeats her earlier sentiment.
>Now totally surrounded by Manari, which really isn't nearly as bad as the Demon, if perhaps not 100% comfortable, Lily holds the camera up to her eye. "All right, girls. Say 'fuzzy pickles'!"

>Flinging your arms around the two Manari flanking you, you smile and speak the requested line, followed shortly after my the click of the older camera. Flash and all.
~~>$7500 bucks for a tumble-down shack? Highway robbery!~~
>"One more for luck!" Lily announces, so you and the Manari hold your positions, Dragonhawk doing so only after a small nod from Eagle.
>Lily cranks the camera over, and takes another photo. Both times, you note Eagle shut her eyes at the moment of the flash.
>"Happy now?" Dragonhawk grumbles at both you and Eagle.

>Glance to Eagle. "Well?"

>Eagle grins. "I'da been happy after one."
>"Good." Dragonhawk rumbles, moving out from behind you and heading back to her seat. She barely acknowledges Lily, forcing the blonde to move aside.
>Lynx fills you in, "Dragonhawk doesn't consid-"
>"Shut it, Lynx." the taller Manari growls, drawing a chuckle from Eagle.
>Lynx moves out from your side over to Lily and extends her hand. "Thank you, Lily." she says simply.
>"Yeah, no problem." Lily answers as she hands the camera back to Lynx.

>The Eagle then produces a small set of scissors from one of her jacket pockets. "And that just leaves one- Oh!" She interrupts herself. "Be rude of me not to ask. You want a copy of that for yourself?"
