[open] Afternoon, Lily Garden
"-sorry, would you let me by?"
Inoue tore his eyes off the street - still be-speckled by trash and bottles and a moping local on a bench here and there, but in far better shape than a couple weeks ago - to look down at the kid who came up to him. Studying her a bit closer than was proper. But the girl did nothing but blink moist eyes and look vacantly baffled by the obstruction in her path. Aware of her surroundings, but wanting to be on her way and confused by any disruption. Good, right on track.
That set, he stepped silently sideways and let her passed into the restaurant. He'd been blocking the door in his observations, quite purposely, but he was satisfied. His slip up had largely repaired itself with time and a little effort, and there was nothing else to worry about. Not on that front- There was still a soul or five running about, a little too observant for their own good, and he would need to do something about that. And prepare for worst.
Oddly enough, the ones who might help him in that, were the problems themselves.
Turning about, he walked right into the Lily Garden restaurant, passed the "Wait to be seated" sign, and stood in the middle of the room, looking about like a patron who'd lost his company.
But far more obtrusive, since he stood up on a pulled out chair. It was easier to observe tables from overhead, after all.

But he's listening intently to Etienne and the weirdo's conversation, his reporter's instincts tingling.

"How is everything?" he asked the usual stock question as he gave Russ's table a gentle tap.
