[Fynn gets this 'little gem' here right after he leaves the shower. He ignores the 'fanfare' chime of his ringtone for a moment in favor of getting decent before reaching for his phone. Fynn stares at the unfamiliar number for a long time before noticing the name.]
[WAIT A SECOND! Isn't that the sexy Japanese chick with the brown hair and nice boobs? Oh man, talk about a killer figure.
Fynn was eyeballing discreetly during the meeting. She's a real looker, definitely Fynn's type. While he's been batting for the other team lately, Fynn would easily switch sides for a classic beauty like her.]
[Mariko's halfway through a sip of her drink when the message comes through and for a moment, there is a bit of confusion. Tatsuo almost never answers instantly like that - especially not when she's being so flippant about her prospects.
Then she catches the name and nearly snorts into her drink. ]
Let a girl breathe, killer.
[She'd heard about Fynn from Togusa, and everything so far seems to match all of the second hand descriptions - for ill or naught. Time to see what this kid is about.]
You're Togusa's friend down at the precinct, right?
[He nearly flips out when he actually gets a response from her. Thank you, Eden! This isn't some sick joke after all. He was hoping his lucky stars that this was indeed true.]
[Nice Bond reference, not like she's ever had that tossed her way. Still he seems energetic. Good manners too. All things accounted for - not the worst hit and quit prospect she's seen.]
You know there's a fine line between eager and thirsty, right?

9/13 MISFIRE
Convince me I shouldn't take home the next warm body that makes a good case.
1/??
...Mariko Kawaguchi?
[Who in the hell---]

But why is she texting me...?
[Reeeaaaads.]
3/3
I'm good looking, come from a rich family, and I know how to shoot!
I'm the best marksman in the force! Let's do this, baby!
Did I mention I can cook? Oh yes, I can~!

Izunia, Fynn Izunia.
[Yes, he just...yeah.]
The pleasure is all mine, Mariko.

no subject
Yep, I know! And hopefully I'm right down the middle.
no subject
Be careful on that tightrope. You know, I would have thought a young man like you would have a fleet of dates after him.
no subject
Married to the job and all.
[Hopefully 'honesty' gains him some more points.]
Well, that's not all true. There's someone I'm interested in but he's probably not so into me.
no subject
Sounds like if he's not into you, you shouldn't pay him any mind. I am curious about what you're into.
And for the love of god don't say 'whatever you're into'.
no subject
Not yet.
[She's going to have to work for all that.]
Riddle me this; how did you get my number? Togusa?
no subject
[It's cute that he thinks he has leverage. It's endearing.]
Nope. Happy accident, courtesy of our "friends" at Retrospec. I was making a joke to a friend, but I have to admit I like where this has ended up.
no subject
Same here but I have to confess that you got me a tad curious now. Just who were you trying to contact? I know I've sent a few misfires too.
I plan to give the Halloways hell about it.
[He means Jim & Janet.]
no subject
I'll let them know the issue some other time.
Right now, I'm trying to see if I should tell you the address of the bar that I'm at. Any reason why you wouldn't be able to meet me?
no subject
I mean, you already have my attention.
no subject
Maybe I'm hoping to get a little more...don't keep me waiting.]
