"I'll make sure I try and catch a forkful before it's gone, next time," Seiya promised with fake-solemnity, then added, "But you do eat like a girl I know. Not one of my bandmates, just someone I took out for a date to an amusement park one Sunday. I swear she ate enough takoyaki alone to make me split, plus four orders of Hiroshima-style okonomiyaki, cotton candy, sports drinks, a candy bar, some sodas..." Seiya paused, trying to remember it all, and added emphatically, "You have to understand, this girl is at least a head shorter than I am, and a little thinner too. That was over the course of a day, but still, I can't figure out where it all went." She hoped Wally wouldn't be too taken aback by the announcement that she'd been on a date with a girl. He seemed like a pretty modern kind of person, for Earth's standards.

Actually, weekly invasions sounded about right, too. She just widened her eyes again, then chuckled appreciatively after at the joke. His job sounded interesting, and his world had friendly contact with aliens? That was something. Even though Kinmoku had been aware of its closest neighbors beyond the system, relations had been at best coolly distant until Galaxia.

"Forensics? So, you mean you do police work in the lab? That's pretty impressive. You make me feel like an idle person, Wally." Seiya smiled a little wider, leaning forward. "So, what are the nice aliens like? Do they look human at all?" Could you take one to lunch and not know it? "I've never heard of the Justice League, either, although I guess the name explains itself. Were those the friends you were going to call?" Maybe it was some sort of police, forensics, detective and other types of 'justice' club. Something like that might come and pick this place apart, at least by daytime.
