It was certainly an odd choice for Antoni to come here. Normally for lunch meetings, he'd choose somewhere simple and eat kebabs and pita bread, as Akilina's being a very high-class restaurant was suitably expensive. Normally he'd try to curb the expense, but today he decided the meeting should be here.
Maybe it was strategic. Akilina was a campaign sponsor of his, so when he requested a private room, the owner scurried off to find him one. He wasn't one for secrecy as he didn't like to have anything to hide, but he knew Barachiel liked his secrecy -- somewhat. It was a good restaraunt and he wanted to make a decent impression on the people coming, so he made sure to ask Akilina to check if he had any dirt on him or something.
Maybe it was catering for the visitors. Antoni knew they were from Yamatai, and as such, they must have had to contend with seafood plenty. It was likely they were fans of seafood, or could tolerate it at least. And they could order from a much finer menu this time around as compared to what he guessed. The prices were high, but he had the budget to take people out on fine dinners. So long as they didn't simply order too much. Although even then he could probably pay for it. He wasn't frugal with his money, and neither was his wife. She would most likely understand.
Or maybe, it was the fact Antoni had a weakness for salmon and scallops. Grilled scallops were delicious and he liked the recipe Akilina's chefs used.
He decided to order a pot of tea and a bottle of sparkling wine. He brought his own actual wine.
Crazy Second Chance, giving him so much wine his wife had to take a day off to call some storage company to help them manage all of it.
Now, to wait...

Meissa arrived outside the door, dressed in proper Elysian robes. She took one look up, and one look down over the place.
For a deal to go shoot things this was an awfully fine place. She better not be dealing with the mafia or something along those lines. She preferred to not have mafia obligations. At least Star Army had a definite contract she was forced to stay in unless she wanted to buy herself out.
What the hell, just get in already. The receptionist lady asked her if she had a reservation, until she got a good look at Meissa's face. Then the receptionist ushered her towards a private room.
Whoever asked her to get over here to make this deal or whatever really wasn't helping his or her "mafia" vibes. That guy must think of him or herself as some ultimate strategist or some bullshit.
Eh, if it works, it works. Star Army taught her that, at least.
