Josh looked at Akira and smiled. It was sweet that he chose something so nice for a dare, far better than what he was told to do when he first played the game.
Harumi nodded, clearing her throat and finally looking away from Sangre. “Okay.” She smiled, obviously still a little flustered after what had happened. Sitting back down, the gardener watched as Sangre sat down next to her, her eyes barely looking anywhere else.

“Truth or dare Harumi?” Sangre asked while glancing at her.
The young girl froze up, looking at the table and humming. “Ummm, truth.” she said, choosing the easy way out only because she wasn’t sure if she could handle a dare at the moment.
“Is it true you’re thinking of kissing me again?” he chuckled teasingly.
“No!” Harumi crossed her arms over her chest and flushed, looking at the table even more and slumping down into her chair.
Josh sighed and looked at the older man. “Stop teasing her Sangre.”
The chef grinned, putting his arm around her waist and sitting close beside her. “Sorry.” he whispered near her ear, still smiling as he did.
Josh glanced at Akira, cocking an eyebrow and then leaning back in his chair. “Maybe we should come back around dinner, finish off your birthday celebration.” Josh suggested. Those two seemed like they needed time alone, and he himself didn’t mind the thought of being with Akira, just to talk and maybe check up on Lady as well.
