Not for the first time in his life, Satoru was infinitely grateful that the Alley and his range were only a few blocks away from each other. It made the trip much more bearable. Ditching Xavier's help as they neared the large building, he strode confidently into the building. "Welcome," He announced. "To my humble business." 'Humble' was probably a big understatement. The range was actually pretty damn popular, and with the loyal help of Mina and Egil as well as many lesser-known and equally helpful workers it had prospered.
The gangs that ran around the streets didn't hurt much either though, they supplied valuable income after all. The untraceability due to many connections was a nice touch.

As curious as Eva was, of course she would end up visiting the range after all this time. It had been... maybe a year or two since their little gang had spilt up(shattered, really). She use to come here often with Yusuke to stock up on more weapons for the gang, so she was pretty much use to the scenery around her currently.
She grinned that tomboy grin of hers at the sight of an old "friend" as she liked to call him. "Ey, Satoru, long time no see." she said before looking around once again. "You call this humble?" she then asked with a slight laugh. Oh, how she missed his sort of thing.

"Sure you okay old man" he jested before seeing the blonde girl come up to Satoru.He stood there in silence before checking his phone.Reconstruction began on Monday ... joy of joys.

"'M fine, not like this hasn't happened before." Satoru replied to Xavier. "Besides, 's not like I can let anyone see me needing help to walk. I have a reputation to keep." This last bit was said with a good bit of humor. He might be one of the current oldest clanmembers, but it didn't kill off his sense of humor.
Then he saw Eva, and he grinned broadly. She was a bit older than last he had seen her, and there was no Yusuke in sight. "Long time's kinda an understatement." The Tora responded with a smirk. "Good ta see ya, kid. How's the old gang?" Considering the varied uses for the term, it was a safe enough thing to say in public. He looked around. "And have you seen Mina around?" He asked, slightly wary, as if the woman in question would pop out of the woodwork to strike and fuss.

The blond gave him an odd look. "The gang's gone now, didn't you hear 'bout Yusuke and the others? Not even my little prodigy?" she asked him, 'her little prodigy' meaning Hotaru. She had been all over the news when she supposedly 'died'. "And nope, haven't seen her today." she then responded about Mina.
Eva couldn't help but laugh to herself slightly. "Heard ya let a little girl kick your ass." she told him. She didn't know the whole story, all she knew was that him and some others had gotten into a fight with that 'Puppet Master' that's been on the news. "Damn shame I hope ya know." she was only joking, of course. Girls knew how to fight, her and Hotaru being two prime examples from her gangs days.

Xavier let out a snigger "Sorry she failed to tell me it was a little girl that beat the ever loving shit outta you.Just a stubborn old git" he laughed before stopping abruptly "Sorry shouldn't laugh please carry on with your conversation with her" he said returning to his usual jackassish behaviour

Satoru shrugged. "TV's poison and newspapers are shit, I never trust what any reporter says anyway." He had, however, heard of what had happened to Hotaru, then had seen it proven wrong when
He rubbed the bridge of his nose at Xavier's comment. "Word of advice, second-hand accounts are often riddled with holes." However, he was pretty sure any attempt at explaining the situation would look like a feeble attempt at saving face. Oh well.

Eva shrugged. "Guess you're right." she said. "So just to fill you in, Yusuke killed Greg, and lil' miss Prodigy killed Yusuke in return before disappearin' from us." she threw a glare over at the person beside Satoru, as if to say "keep this secret or I'll hunt you down". It really wasn't nessisary, though, she knew Satoru enough to know he wouldn't befriend someone that couldn't keep a secret all too well.
She shook off the glare a quick moment later, replacing it with a slight grin at the other person. "'Name's Eva, one of Satoru's old customers. Who're you?"

Xavier's cold attitude returned in a instant "Xavier Heart" he replied "Nice to meet you and don't worry I won't question what I just heard" he turned round to Satoru "You sure you don't want
me to carry you inside old man?" he asked jokingly "Just being thoughtful is all"
He crossed his fingers "Yes because I trust Xion with every nice of my being not"

Satoru nodded. "Good for her, Yusuke always bugged me." He watched the introductions go on, then restrained the urge to snap Xavier's neck. "And you can stop being thoughtful, brat."
He turned back to Eva. "So is this a social call or are you going to help me teach this lug how to shoot." The Tora smirked. Eva had been one of the few of the old gang he had actually gotten along with.

Eva shrugged at his comment about Yusuke. "He was alright when you got know him a little more, I did date him for the longest time." she pointed out.
She grinned at his next question. "I was just stoppin' by to say hi, but if ya need help I'll be glad to give it." she looked at Xavier. "You're learnin' from the best, I hope you know." she said, not specifying whether it was her or Satoru.

Xavier was still sniggering slightly from the little girl comment but straightened up when Eva talked to him "Yes Madame" he replied "And what's wrong with me being thoughtful old man.Your like the father I never had" he said snuggling up to the older male to wind him up

Satoru stiffened and immediately jerked his head up so his skull connected with Xavier's jaw in a way that would make the Kuma's teeth rattle in his skull. "Off. Now." He grumbled, "With the way you act, I can see why no one wanted to raise you. Fuckin' annoying..." It was probably one of his least-tasteful jests, but he wanted the Kuma off of him.

Eva looked at the two for a moment before tugging Xavier back a little. "Try to be at least a little respectful Kid." she told him. Her calling him 'Kid' however didn't quite fit, seeing as though it was pretty obvious he was at least slightly older than her. But with the way he was acting, she might as well have been older.

"I am.I'm calling him that 'cos I respect him.I didn't have a dad so its good I finally got a roll model" he replied smiling.He actually meant that.He had taken a liking to the man.
