[ Just as Yoimiya is getting ready to bring out her card to pay for her drink, Ajax beats her to the punch. She's momentarily stunned, taken aback by his sudden courtesy and before she even realizes it, their coffees are ready. With her beverage in hand, she gives her thanks to Arouet and quickly follows after him. He continues to surprise her, pulling out a chair for her in a most cavalier manner of politeness.

Huh, who would have thought the man behind the kidnappings could be such a gentleman? Still, she's not going to rule out the possibility she's being manipulated. She smiles at him, nodding her head in appreciation as she neatly takes her seat. ]

I'm feeling much better now, thank you for asking. I was lucky to get out with only minor injuries, it didn't take long to recover.

[ Physically, she's doing fine. Mentally on the other hand... she's worn out, the trauma of that evening has been a never-ending nightmare playing in her head as she sleeps. Watching her coworker brutally murdered right in front of her is an image forever burned into her mind. Regardless, it's kind of him to ask about her current state, sending him a small smile of gratitude.

Likewise, Yoimiya wants to check up on his condition but first things first, his charitable gesture cannot be ignored. ]

Thank you for paying for my drink. You didn't have to do that.
