Uptie Story: Liu South Section 4

Kiya
Liu Section 4
...Right. So you're telling me.
Inside a bustling beef noodle restaurant once again, were two fixers trying to have a meal.
Most of their coworkers at the Liu Association have had an idea now about how certain people preferred some alone time.
Unlike Ishmael, this child had a bit of an actual aversion to large, sudden parties that were too loud for his liking.
So he decided to come with to her favorite spot.
It seems as though he's already finding himself on a phone call again.

...I have to deal with this on the day that I'm also supposed to be free?

Kiya
Liu Section 4
....

Kiya
Liu Section 4
Why don't you ask Ishmael to do it then?

Ishmael
Liu Section 4
Wh—Hey! Again?!
He signals her to shush, and momentarily lifts the phone.

Kiya
Liu Section 4
I'm kidding.

Kiya
Liu Section 4
Sorry, what was that?

Kiya
Liu Section 4
....

Kiya
Liu Section 4
I don't have all the time in the world, but fine. It better be quick.
Click.
And a sigh.

Ishmael
Liu Section 4
What is it this time?

Kiya
Liu Section 4
There's a bunch of losers planning to rob the restaurant near this one.

Ishmael
Liu Section 4
Oh, shit. I should probably come with.

Kiya
Liu Section 4
That won't be necessary. Especially not on your break.
Standing up, the fixer adjusts his uniform accordingly. He's beginning to feel frustrated, but it really can't be helped.
If they must rely on him, so be it.

Kiya
Liu Section 4
Can you keep my bowl warm?

Kiya
Liu Section 4
I'll pay for dessert if you want.

Ishmael
Liu Section 4
If you insist. Just be careful.
Be careful...
Kiya wasn't exactly the most careful in any sense. A beatdown was always fun, and protecting those in need felt more than a duty.
A vow he plans to keep for the rest of his life.

Fearful Thug
Argh! That uniform-!

Kiya
Liu Section 4
Don't make this harder than it already is.

???
Bold Thug
If you think...you can get us easily...!

Kiya
Liu Section 4
Oh, I'm thinking...
With determination to get this over with, he mindlessly thinks. Some jobs feel more passive than others.

Kiya
Liu Section 4
...Maybe some egg tarts for later.
He's confident he'll end the day with a full stomach after all.
