The sake level declined precipitously. Kurenai wasn't keeping track of refills; it was far more entertaining to watch Kakashi struggle to keep his wrist angled for the pour.

He was holding his alcohol well, all things considered; a slight flush above the mask, an intense focus as he recaptured a sliver of mackerel that had slipped from his chopsticks. He flicked a triumphant glance up at Ryouma, as if hoping he'd seen.

Ryouma grinned headily back. But he didn't, Kurenai noticed, lean away from Ginta's easy slouch against his side.

She met Ginta's eyes across the table, and raised her brows. You're still going for it?

Ginta cut his eyes toward Raidou and Genma, and grinned at her. Aren't you?

Well, so they were both capable of reckless decisions. Or reckless keeping-one's-options-open, Kurenai supposed. She certainly hadn't made anything like a decision yet.

It was easy to be tempted, though. There on the dance floor, pressed between suppleness and strength; here under the izakaya's hazy lights, with Raidou relaxing slowly at her side, and Genma leaning generously around him to offer Kurenai the last of the takoyaki— "Since you seem to like octopus," he said.

"I'd have ordered takowasa, if it weren't a bit slimy for this company," she said, smiling back at him. "I remembered Tousaki's reaction to sea-snot."

Ryouma shuddered theatrically. "It tasted like snot too."

"More for us!" Genma said cheerfully. He told Kurenai, "You should get some if you want it. I like takowasa. It's more crunchy than slimy, anyway."

"Octopus always makes me think of this art print I saw one time," Ryouma confided to Kakashi. His voice was probably a little louder than he meant. "Y'know, the Fisherwoman or something—"

Kakashi looked blank. Ginta looked like his birthday had come. "The Fisherman's Wife!" He pushed his cup out for a refill. Kakashi scowled, and sat back; Ryouma obliged instead.

"That octopus put her husband out of a job," Ginta continued, fondly reminiscing. "Where'd you see it? On a mission? Or in one of Genma's books?"

Genma said repressively, "How much have you had to drink, Ginta?"

Kakashi asked, "Are you talking about a sexy octopus while we're eating octopus?" Kurenai wasn't sure if he was scandalized, or just mystified.

"I'm not eating it," Ryouma pointed out.
