“Hey, Dirk!” Amber said cheerfully.
“What do you want?” Dirk turned back around and continued to star at the ocean.
Amber sighed to herself; this was going to be harder than I thought. Still with the smile, she spoke to him.
“I was hoping you’d join me for dinner,” she said.
Dirk had heard Fuuka talk about dinner with the captain. “Why do you want me around? You already have guests for dinner.”
“Well you got me…I was hoping to have even more company. Sometimes its better with even more people.”
“Why don’t you invite the all of the other guests then?”
Amber sighed openly, “Look…I want you to come and help me with something.”
Dirk turned around and gave her a quizzical look, “What is it?”
“It’s Azuri Fuuka… I’m sure you know her daughter, Hotaru,” Dirk’s heart raced at the mention of Hotaru’s name, but he motions for to go on, “Despite the fact that she seems uptight, I can sense a free spirit inside her. I need you to distract Hotaru while I work with Fuuka.”
Dirk thought about it: on one hand he could get closer to Hotaru, but on the other hand if this fucked up she was probably going to get pissed off at him. And on another hand, he still didn’t know whether he wanted to have another relationship or not yet.
Finally with the decision, Dirk looked at Amber with a grin on his face…
“I’m in.”
