Alright, that was sketchy. Soooo sketchy. Really, really sketchy.

Naoko squinted.

She opened her mouth to say something--probably something asking if the club was even legal--and then glanced over to Elias, catching his eye and deciding to play along, even if she had absolutely no idea where he was going with things.

"I wonder if they were even allowed to become a club. Maybe they're not supposed to be," she said, wondering if he was trying to... what, bait the club leader into giving them information?

Wesker chuckled as the two began to feign disinterest. "You are unsure of the legitimacy of my club and yet you intend to proceed with antagonism, is that correct? Are you curtain that is wise?" He clicked his tongue slightly as he allowed a pause between his words.

"Regardless, you may be more in need of my services then you know." He gestured at the sign, highlighting the part that read 'special discount today.' "Orders of simple tidbits and even some uncommon information are free of charge today. If you wish to test the extent of my abilities, you need merely tell me what you wish to know."

Wesker threw him a curveball, but Elias wasn’t going to be deterred. “Pah!” Elias spat after a pause, looking away from Wesker with a dramatic turn of his head. He opened his eyes into narrow slits, glaring out of the corner of his eyes. “I have no interest in your silly ‘free information.’ But, Naoko, you must have some sort of inquiry…”

His pretentious words and flashy reactions could be explained by one thing--Bad acting. Still, as the little game continued, Elias’s acting got progressively worse and progressively more cringe-worthy.

“Go ahead, I’m sure Mr. Whisking has the answers,” He crooned.

Naoko couldn't help but wince at the Pah. Who said pah? No one said pah, and the fact that Elias did made her wince.

He was a really bad actor, but then she wasn't all that good either.

"I... uh..." Naoko said, abruptly coming up blank. She had no idea what it was she was supposed to ask. After a few seconds she scowled, glancing back to Elias.

"You should have warned me ahead of time," she muttered. "Now I have no idea what to ask."

Dammit, maybe this was actually a bad idea. I shouldn’t have done that, Elias thought. In his mind’s eye, he saw himself spouting off the ridiculous lines and striking dramatic poses. Yup, in hindsight, it was definitely a dumb idea. He dissolved into a sad, slouching form and turned to Naoko, giving her a why-would-you-do-this look. “I mean, you could’ve at least tried coming up with something,” he muttered.

For a few moments, he just stood there, glancing back and forth, opening and closing his mouth as if he was about to say something, then decided not to. He avoided meeting anyone’s eyes. Eventually, he blurted out, “Maybe we should just leave. Can we just leave now?”

Wesker shrugged. "You may leave. There's nothing keeping you here other then your own interest. if that ceases to anchor you, then by all means move on."

"You should know better than to put me on the spot like that!" Naoko protested, firmly ignoring the poor club leader in front of them. She wasn't actually that bad about thinking on her feet, but that kind of sudden pressure combined with such an unusual subject just left her coming up blank.

Naoko quickly turned back to the club leader, letting out a little sigh and bowing her head.

"Sorry about him," she said quickly, taking absolutely zero of the blame for herself before turning away, hooking her arm into Elias's, and hauling him away before her own embarrassment could catch up to her.
