(( sorry for the wait. >< I thought I had responded to this thread but it turns out I wrote it but didn't save it. ))

Niaz just laughed. He pushes his way into the bakery and gestures at the two other employees. His second baker next himself and his cashier. “Alright, this is Jennifer, and that is Roy.” He said the man holding the baking pans nodded before unloading his sweets into a few racks. He came up to Niaz and took the cookie pan. Jennifer grinned pushing back her square rimmed glasses. Jennifer politely cleared her throat turning her attention to Yuki as Niaz slipped into the back. “Hi.” She grinned showing a mouth full of braces. “Friends of the boss man? That usually has sweet perks.” He laughed at her own pun. “Are you sure you don't want something, every thing is fresh now.”

[Yokuutsu]

Yuki just nods a bit. As the anti-social moth essentially...he isn't good with new people, but he has learned compared to when he was a little kid at least. He just nods a bit. "Hello. Nice to meet you." He snorts and chuckles a bit at the cheesy pun. Funny, but still very cheesy too. He kind of eyeballs the sweets. He does have a sweet tooth....that he tries to ignore...and this time he's going to fail at it. His sweet tooth (or teeth) demand(s) satisfaction. "What kind of things do you got here?"

[Poggio]

“hmm” Her eyebrows went up with interest and her mouth elapsed into a grin. “We have cupcakes doughnuts and cakes, we sell some cake by the slice.” She went on gesturing to the display areas, smoothly talking about the different types of things they made. All of which were Niaz's recipes. “The orange spice cup cake is the best. It has this coke-a-cola icing.” she said pointing out an orange brown cup cake with sprinkles.

[Yokuutsu]

Yuki falls to temptation easily sometimes...and it's hard to ignore his sweet teeth (there's more than one) when there's this many sweets around. He just listens...and looks at the sweets as she talks. "It. Has coke icing?" He doesn't know if that's actually possible. Can icing actually taste like coke? Hell, half the time coke doesn't taste like coke. If it actually tastes like coke....he has to try that sometime.

[Poggio]

Niaz snuck from his office behind Yuki. He was tall enough that he could rest his chin on the top of his head as he eyed the cupcake. Niaz couldn't help but laugh. He had seen that type of face on many a child that came into the store. He rested his arms on Yuki's head to. He couldn't help it, Niaz was just the touchy type of guy. “Ah the coke cup cake.” He said eying it himself. “Do we have any more red velvet?” Those happen to be his favorite and long with cinnamon bun muffins.

[Yokuutsu]

Yuki kind of flinches/jumps once the other appears out of nowhere. That's his story and he's sticking to it. "Why do people always appear out of nowhere?" But after a moment he gets over that and snorts a bit. "Coke used to actually have coke in it." Almost everyone knows that, but he still finds it amusing that they had a really addictive substance in the drink. "Sooo...I'm supposed to be doing something now?" Other than eyeing cupcakes that is.

[Poggio]

Niaz laughed lightly, pointing at a cupcake he wanted in the display case. “Of course, You'll have to forgive me Yuki. I have a memory of a fish some times.” The girl handed him the cup cake and he bit into it. His eyes quickly turned from mirth to something dangerously dark. “What ever you do, don't let Adrian come back here, I want proof that money has been going missing.” He grabbed Yuki lightly by the wrist leading him to the back of the shop. Inside a small room there were two desk a computer and a file cabinet. “Alright I am not sure what you need, because honestly I am not sure what we are looking for, but here...” He pointed to one pile.” Are receipts, deposit slips, and that.” He pointed to the computer.” Is our database that pretty much has everything. We have a paper version to if you prefer that.” When he finished talking he gobbled down the rest of his cup cake and gave Yuki a seat.

[Yokuutsu]

Yuki snorts and chuckles a bit. Goldfish actually have a memory span of about 8 months or so, but that is irrelevant right now really. "It's the sugar. It distracted you." And it'll probably distract him soon enough...except there is work to be done and he'll try to focus on that first. He sees that dark look and eyeballs Niaz a bit. For some reason, he doesn't like that look. He lets himself be pulled into the other room. "Okay then...this should be a good start if it isn't the finish too." Some people just aren't careful enough. And so, he sits down, before comparing the receipts and the like to the computer ledger. "Are both the paper and computer versions done at the same time? And does he do them both?" He wants to confirm because he may need to check them both. And if one has a discrepency with the other...

(What should he find? Maybe a discrepency between the paper and electronic versions? If anything? And you should go to my next class for me so i can go eat)

[Poggio]

( -sings- getting to know you, getting to know all about you! )

Niaz sat in a chair near Yuki. He was both eager and worried. He had known his partner for several years and was sad that it had come to this between them. But it was his knowledge of the man that made him paranoid enough to double check. He started to chew his nails while waiting and eventually started talking to fill the silence in the room. He decided to start with the only thing they had in common. “So how long have you been living in the apartment?”

[Yokuutsu]

Yuki sighs a bit before getting out the paper version of the records too. If he can find the discrepency quicker, even better. "Mmm..." He stops for a moment to think about it. He's never thought about how long he's been living in that apartment actually. So he has to think about it a bit. "Mmm....about 10 months now?" He's lived in the area for longer, but not in that building. "How long have you been living there?"

[Poggio]

He grinned “For about three or four years. I needed a place that was closer to the bakery. Its nice, except the winter. Every one in the lower floors turn on their heating systems and it just floats up. My apartment gets too toasty.” He couldn't talk with out gesturing, making spirit fingers with his hands. “Where were you before you moved?” He was curious about Yuki, he figured he had some Japanese in him but wasn't sure if he was fresh off the boat or American born Japanese.

[Yokuutsu]

"You could open a window or something unless that makes it too cold?" It's a simple solution or could be at least. He chuckles a bit seeing how animated Niaz is with his talking. "Well...before then I lived with my parents in this area....though we did originally come from Japan...but I don't really remember it there....I didn't even start school yet before we moved." He shrugs a bit before going back to the electronic and paper books.

[Poggio]

Niaz just chuckled, musing to himself. The boy seemed so analytical and logical about life, it was no wonder he was suited to deal with money. “Not when it snows. Though it does save me money on heating.” He sighed thinking fondly. “That sounds like me, though I lived in India for 3 years before my parents abandoned the old world values for capitalism. Though I am proud to say I passed the citizenship test with flying colours. You should go back to Japan once in your life. You might find it therapeutic.” Niaz pulled a book from a shelf, plucking a pen from his desk he started to write something.

[Yokuutsu]

"Well...yeah that would be a problem, but it isn't snowing all the time. So it can at least be helpful on the days it isn't snowing." Yuki shrugs a bit. "There is good in the new and the old. Just got to find the good parts of them and apply them while learning to ignore the bad...or change it, whichever." He shrugs a bit. "I dunno. From what I understand...I would be treated as an outsider anyway since I didn't grow up there....though maybe someday I'll go." He doesn't really see it as a going back for him.

[Poggio]

Niaz just shook his head and smiled. “Even if you are just a tourist, looking in from the outside it would shed some light of understanding for things you don't remember. It could be an adventure.” Niaz gave Yuki a toothy grin. He was all about adventure. The idea of back packing through Japan and exploring new flavors seemed like a wonderful idea that he kept to himself. He snapped his book shut. “I am going to show Roy my new recipe and see what he thinks, I shall be back in a little while.” He left Yuki to his searching but second later popped his head back into the door. “How much do I owe you buy the way?”

[Yokuutsu]

"I've thought about going there....but it's something I'll do later in life. Not so long that I can't enjoy it....but I have other priorities in my life." And he'd rather have more money, unlike many people his age....he's more worried about security than having the newest electronic or things...though he does give in a bit when it comes to video games. "Mmmkay see you in a bit." He waves his hand a bit at his question. "Worry about it later." If he finds something quickly, it isn't that much work....and he volunteered to do it.
