Mina set down the tray between them and took a water bottle. "For the lovely lady we have..." She looked over the tray critically, "a lot of delicious-looking Swedish crap I can't pronounce." She grinned and snagged one that looked like a log filled with cream. "Down the hatch!"

Julie laughed and took one of the pastries for herself. She took a bite, her eyes widening. "Dude, this is awesome!" She exclaimed, going in for another bite. "Where do you get this stuff from?" Whatever they were, they were certainly were delicious.

"Home-made," Mina said around her bite of pastry. Oh god they were just as fantastic as she'd hoped they'd be. Egil really did well with baking scrumptious treats for people. "By our own Egil Mednick, your big-brother's bestie's beau." And wasn't THAT a tongue-twister? "Real sweet guy, you'd like him." Basically everyone liked Egil. You had to be a monster to not like the big Swede.

Julie listened to Mina as she ate. "Wait wait wait," she said. "Donny's got a boyfriend?" And Keith failed to mention it? She hadn't gotten to see the full blooded Italian in the few days she'd been in town, and she knew was that he was here. She laughed. "Oh yeah, I've gotta meet him sometime." She wanted to see what kind of person was actually capable of handling that guy.

Mina grinned. "Well he left here a little while ago, but whenever ya want I do just happen to know where he lives, Don's staying with him last I heard." Mostly because the Ookami hadn't had anywhere else to go, she was pretty sure they had hit being datemates after he'd moved in. At least it had worked out well for the pair. "We'd kill two birds with one stone," and there'd probably be more goodies there. Mina picked up a chocolate-iced one and popped it into her mouth, restraining a moan of delight at the flavor.

Julie smiled wider and nodded. "Yeah that'd be awesome." Don was just as much her brother as Keith was, and it was a little sister's JOB to know what was going on in their siblings' lives, even if they had spent more than a few years apart. That just made it all the more important for her to find out!
She ate another one of the pastries, smiling to herself as she thought. "So that means Keith and Don are both dating someone that works here." One just happened to be the boss, but still. Funny how that worked, and… well she couldn't get ahead of herself here, but maybe if she was careful enough she could manage to joy in on the party.

"Mhm, seems like it," Mina said, taking a swig of water to wash down the sweet treats. Maybe, just maybe, if she played her cards right Julie would join in on the party. Might as well make a set out of them all, right? Gunslingers and Italians? If Julie didn't mind, Mina certainly wouldn't.
Now how to bring up that idea without coming on too strong too fast...

Julie leaned back a little, putting an arm behind her to help support her. Soooo, Mina thought she was cute, she thought Mina was cute, they had that much out of the way. What would Keith do at this point? Wait, scratch that, what would DON do? THAT mindset seemed a little more appropriate.
"Hey, um," she started, running a hand through her hair and holding onto the ends as she spoke. "Would you like to hang out some time?" She felt her face start to heat up all over again. "I-I don't really know what there is to do around here just yet, but we could think of something… If you wanna, that is." She shrugged a little, stay cool just stay cool.

Mina blinked twice as she processed the proposition. Oh. Kay. Okay. This was good. This was VERY good and she was definitely going to say yes when her mouth started to work. So for the moment she nodded dumbly. "Y-" She cleared her throat. "Yeah! Sure. I'd love to, we can grab some lunch at the Wok and I'll show you around some, my treat." They could catch a movie or go to the park or the beach or the arena, it was getting warm out so it would be pretty comfortable...

Julie sat up straighter and giggled. Awesome, this was great! "Sounds like fun, I can't wait." She said, managing to keep somewhat calm while inside she felt like dancing. She got a date! SHE got a DATE! Oh this wasn't so hard after all, maybe she did have some of that Alabaster charm after all!

Mina smiled brightly, "me too, uh, I do have some classes though." She decided to warn. "So I'm free on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Sundays. Any of those work?" The others were for work and school, those were all she had to spare (and really only two of them MAYBE), Engineering was fun, but it was one hell of a workload.

Julie nodded quickly. "Oh yeah, yeah whenever's fine for you." Wasn't like she had much to do anyway, so she would be free anytime Mina was. For now at least, she'd like to get a job soon. Guess it was a good thing her brother owned his own business, maybe she could try asking him for work. He did mention how they were getting more people lately and that Frankie was gonna have to start picking up some tattoos of his own pretty soon. If that was the case, they might need a new piercer, and she was ready to learn if the spot was available.

Mina grinned. "This Sunday, then?" She proposed, it was presently Friday, she could finish up an assignment tomorrow and not have to worry about accidentally forgetting to do something while out with Julie.

The blue eyed woman nodded again. "Sunday sounds good." Oh my gosh a DATE! She had a DATE! Oh she still couldn't believe it, this was too good to be true.

Mina was brimming with excitement, "Then it's a date?" She asked, just to clarify. Just... Just to be ABSOLUTELY CERTAIN that when she inevitably spilled the beans to Egil or Toru she'd be certain of which kind of beans she was spilling. There was a big difference between 'buddy beans' and 'datemate beans.'
