"Don't care. Whim or not, a debt is a debt; and I'm not budging on that."

Kanako took one last crunching bite of her remaining rib rack, which she had polished off quite nicely. Cleaning her fingers off on a napkin, and quickly covered her now clean hands in scales, and clawed fingernails, to claw some bbq sauce off the scales on her face and neck; before she wiped those off too. After her hands reverted, the Arrancar took one last bite of sausage before she cleaned her hands off a final time and stood, using her tail to push in the chair that she was once sitting upon.

"Very well. No time like the present to practice, anyways."

Kanako quietly made sure that her everything was affixed, even zipped up her jacket calmly before she put her hands into the pockets of her jacket and looked towards Amaranta. Those reptilian eyes were searching for an answer to if she was ready or not; and then Kanako would wait in complete patience, ready to go when Amaranta was. Indeed, while Kanako was nowhere near as good at Sonido as Amaranta, Amaranta would not lose Kanako this time. With a little bit of luck, and Kanako pushing herself somewhat, she could at least keep up with respectfully enough.

"Lead on."

AMARANTA VALERIA | BURNING LIONESS

Amaranta, too, had wiped away most of the sauce on her hands and lips with a napkin. She turned toward the bartender, pulling a good portion of cash from her pocket as she set it on the table. Half of it was to pay for the meal and drinks, the other was for carry out. Their BBQ was pretty delicious, and Amaranta had not yet mastered the skill of preparing her own food. As such, carry out and takeout were her shameless go-to options. After a few moments waiting for them to bring out few boxes of ribs, brisket, sausages, and even a bowl of mac and cheese, the leonine woman rose up from her chair, walking beside the reptilian woman. Waving her goodbyes, she stepped through the door under the impression Kanako would follow, and bolted off toward her house - just as she said she would.

As soon as Amaranta was ready, Kanako was right on her heels, her tail nearly destroying the door before the woman moved it snappily. She moved with Amaranta, pushing herself to her limits as she used her clumsy, loud, Sonido the it's utmost; keeping a relatively good pace with the woman. Frankly speaking, if not for her own physical capabilities being so extraneous, she definitely would have fallen behind. However, with some good grit, sweat, and blood, the Arrancar made sure to keep pace with Amaranta all the way until they reached her abode; looking forward to even more food, frankly. Given the strain, needing another smaller meal was a genuine possibility.

Once they reached Amaranta's house, Kanako lagged behind only a moment once they arrived, wiping her beaded forehead clean, her chest rising and falling only a little more rapidly than normal. It at least was commendable that, despite her obviously terrible Sonido, she hadn't lost pace with Amaranta; nor had she even really gotten that winded. However, it was obvious that she was strained somewhat when her stomach complained with a loud growl.

A soft sigh, a slight smack to her stomach, and then Kanako fell in line with Amaranta again, her tail idly smashing a nearby rock in irritation for her newfound hunger; and how much she had exerted only because her sonido was clumsy.

"Nice place, Amara... Any bodies of water nearby?"

AMARANTA VALERIA | BURNING LIONESS

After they entered her home, and she set her food on the counter, the leonine woman turned towards Kanako as she inquired about a body of water. Amaranta stroked her chin. Come to think of it, she had been meaning to get a pool one of these days. That would probably be in her next paycheck, though. For now, all she could really offer the woman was a shower. It was odd she even posed a question like that, but whatever. It didn't bother her much. She pulled a rib from the box, chewed on it, and pointed upstairs.

"No, I only got a large shower if you want to take a bath. That's about as much water as I've got so far, though i should invest in a pool one of these days. Judging by that stomach grumbling, though, you sound like you're hungry again. Here."

She'd throw one of the boxes towards the woman before sitting at the counter, languidly stretching her arms out.

"Sounds good to me, Amara... I'll be right back. And please, call me Kana... Feels only fair."

Kanako too took a rib out of the box that she had just caught, gave Amaranta a nod for thanks, and popped a few ribs into her voracious maw as she walked upstairs; finding the room with the large shower quite easily. Frankly speaking, she wasn't used to traditional bathing, and she knew that washing her hair was a slow process... A couple more ribs were due before the woman began the slow process of taking a shower, in which she did her best not to use a lot of Amaranta's supplies for bathing before she was done; which resulted in her taking even longer as she tried to meter out how much soap and shampoo she was using for her body and her hair respectively.

After a good hour, if not a bit longer, Kanako eventually returned downstairs; even her clothes looked a bit cleaner. However, she wasn't wearing her jacket, which revealed thick scales along her toned arms, which disappeared under her shirt, reappearing at her neck. Her tail flicked gently, as she was particularly mindful of that. The box under her arm, empty of half a rack of ribs but still had everything else in it, Kanako placed it with the other boxes before she joined Amaranta wherever she was in her house. Indeed, she was every bit as fit as Amaranta; perhaps even equally.

"That took longer than expected... Shall we take a look at the underground training facility you spoke of at the bar, Amara? I'm still curious... and I do hope you get a pool, perhaps I can pitch in for that one."

Afterwards, Kanako would certainly follow Amaranta to wherever she would lead the woman; her curiosity indeed still peaked by the prospect of Amaranta's training area. However, she waited patiently, intent as she was, patience was paramount in this moment.

AMARANTA VALERIA | BURNING LIONESS

Amaranta didn't really get up to much once Kanako went upstairs to clean herself. She simply sat on the couch, munched away at some of her favorite snacks, flickered through channels on the television and carried on with business as usual. After what took damn near hours, Kanako had finished and came downstairs. Grumbling, she almost wanted to tell her that rule number one about being invited into a guest's house was making sure you didn't take advantage of their kindness. She had a water bill to pay, dammit. Shaking her head, she rose up from the couch as she inquired about the training facility. She was lucky she'd created a distraction, something else to distract her mind as she set her mind elsewhere. And then, she said something about pitching in for a pool...

"Tch. You make it sound like we're going to be roommates or something. Anyway, I'll show you, but don't get too comfortable. I'll probably be sending you back to sleep in the water or something."
