[Well, if that isn't tsun, Dino doesn't know what is. Okay, he doesn't know what "tsun" means, but whatever. He looks between the two men and sighs, like he knows he should have expected this.]

There's not a lot to admire....? Does this look suspicious or something?

[sharktrash]

[ IT'S NOT TSUN COME ON. ]

Thanks. We know.

[ Makes a shooing motion with his hand despite of (probably) talking to his elder. ]

[psyvampexperiment]

[A gentle, even reassuring chuckle and an equally gentle shake of his head.]

No, no, nothing of suspicion: if anything, it's rather charming.

[Now he's really trying to keep a straight face at that shooing gesture.]

[alleato]

What's charming about two guys sitting out on a nice day having--

[He facepalms with both hands, then pushes his hair back and chuckles.]

This whole thing is way out of hand. It's just lunch.

[psyvampexperiment]

[A graceful shrug of one shoulder and a tilt of his head.]

Oh, it doesn't have to be a romantic meeting to make it charming. I just find it delightful to see folk out and about enjoying nature.

[sharktrash]

[ Yeah Squalo doesn't actually say anything but the expression of utter disgust at the word "romantic" is probably telling enough. ]

[psyvampexperiment]

[Eyeing Squalo, but not bothered by that stankeye.]

Hmmm, it's not for everyone, I'd be the first to admit: friendship can, at times, have a leg up. Less social pressures for one thing.

[Turning as if he might leave, taking an e-cigarette from his breast pocket.] Well, don't let an old interloper intrude for long...

[alleato]

It's-- It's not romantic! I barely know him. We're just talking and eating, enjoying a nice day... I don't see anything weird about that.

[Frowning.]

People jump to a lot of conclusions around here...

[sharktrash]

Don't let the door hit you on the way out~

[ Back to Dino. ]

Seriously. It's like everyone and their mother decided to show up and tell us we're going out.

[psyvampexperiment]

[A half chuckle.] I'm not the one who'd consider it weird: I merely found it delightful. Methinks someone doth protest too much, but I'll leave you to your conversation... [And lighting the e-cig, he takes a hit off it, blowing a plume of smoke over his head as he walks away, holding up one graceful hand over his shoulder and waggling his fingers in farewell as he walks away.]
