Tessa's words made Naoki smile. Truly, he didn't know what to do without the tiny fire elemental at times. It was like having Rei around again. He knew Tessa would get along famously with his youngest sister. He actually wouldn't have been surprised if Rei turned out to be a fiery herself. "Thank you," Naoki nodded.
Leaning back, he watched Tessa's lips move and just raised an eyebrow. Funny how "good" for a fire elemental involved a casual relationship and blowing stuff up. It made him roll his eyes and shake his head in a brotherly way. At least he couldn't chuckle to himself over it. "I don't know if it's a good thing or bad thing that you haven't scared him off yet," Naoki teased as some appetizers came their way. He had ordered them one of the party sized platters that had a little of everything. Why not? He had some money to burn that wouldn't make Liliya raise an eyebrow over. "As long as you're not trying to blow each other up, then I'll just nod my head and say I'm happy for you." He took a bite at one of the toasted raviolis before going on. "I take it Troy is all cool with this new boytoy of yours?"
