[ this city continues to perplex him. not so much in that he's not familiar with large cities or technology, but more in the fact he's unsure what to be doing. vacations are for people who can afford them, and apollo's... definitely sitting here with a pen and a napkin and seems to be doing math of some kind while seated in a chair in the lobby.
A vacation's nice after everything, I guess, but couldn't it have waited?
nobody can see your thoughts, apollo, shut up. but he sighs, crumpling up the napkin to stick into the pocket of his slacks before looking up to watch the foot traffic come through. whether ruka is coming or going, it doesn't seem to matter. apollo watches her for a moment before he speaks up. ]
Uh, excuse me. Can I ask you a few questions? [ professional. he can do that for now. ]
[ Ruka has definitely been here. She's stepped through the same spot once, twice, thrice... She's circled around here for a while now, so when Apollo calls out to her, she turns her head. ]
If it's an interview, it'll have to wait until after vacation.
Huh? [ not like this!! he looks a little baffled that this is her first line of thought, but he shakes his head. ] No, not that. I was just wondering if you knew about this destination before we were invited here.
Huh? Nooooo...? But why would you go on vacation to a place where you already know? Be adventurous! Chase after the unknown! Look at cute girls! Fulfill your curiosities!!
[ apollo, who would much rather go places he's familiar with. but okay, he can be a curious creature, and he does look a little flustered at the idea of someone using vacation to scope out cute girls, also ruka what the hell why. ]
There's nothing wrong with vacationing somewhere familiar! You could go somewhere and really like it but not have enough time to explore the whole city.
Is that the only reason you said yes when they offered the trip? I've heard some people were told about other things that might catch their interest, too.
[ he is wondering if everyone really was just okay with this or if there was some light bribery involved in some cases. ]
Here you are. [ okay, well that makes sense. at least she told people where she was going, even if he thinks it's a little wild she came by herself when she seems a little young. but then again, age doesn't mean too much in these things. (at least not until people start dropping dead.) ]
You were the only one who got an offer then? What did you need time off from?
[ he thinks about this. vacations... friends... the people who actually showed up here with him aren't people he even really considered telling he was leaving, but now that she asks... ]
I would've brought my best friend if he wasn't busy preparing for his tests. [ clay would've made this slightly less stupid. actually, no, that bitch would have loved this and dragged apollo everywhere, never mind. ] But a few of my colleagues must've thought a vacation was a good idea, too.
I'm an attorney. [ he has zero qualms about telling anyone this. also his dumb little badge is still pinned to his collar anyway. ] From what I can tell there's three other people I work with who came here, too.
[ but he makes a face. ]
He'd probably like it, but it doesn't seem like there's much to it than bars and shops. [ not that clay wouldn't be satisfied with that for a few days, but still. ] I'm not planning another trip anytime soon until I see more of this place.

You should come back with your best friend some over time when he's not getting ready for tests.
