before you came into my life I missed you so bad

In what had been an altogether strange conversation, Amon had uncharacteristically mentioned having a favorite restaurant. And was very specific and exacting in making sure the Lieutenant knew the address. He's not exactly sure if it was a subtle hint not to harrass a particular business owner, or if Amon thought he was starting to look a little on

Lu Ten blinks, looks around nervously. He'll admit to not being the most social person in the world, but this might be a little too friendly.

Oh well. If the man turns out to be a Triad recruiter or a scammer or a drug trafficker or an axe murderer or something... he could totally take him. With a shrug, he sets his drink down and sits.

"I see. Anyone in particular? Hope it's not an enemy," he jokes.

"A friend," he answers with a half-smile. "It must be the mustache."

"You haven't come here before, have you? I recommend the sea prunes." He coughs, perhaps not used to talking so much as he is today.

He laughs softly. "Sounds pretty stylish. Introduce me sometime, we can swap grooming tips."

"Already ordered, but I'll give 'em a try next time." Did he unintentionally stumble into a clandestine meeting? Is "sea prunes" a password? What if Amon sent him here to meet this guy? ...but that's silly, Amon wouldn't know he'd be here at the same time as the contact.

Maybe he's just lucked out, for once, and met a cute guy. "You must be a regular."

"Hah. I wouldn't want to start a competition."

"I am. The proprietor is very friendly to non-benders. Despite the pro-bending crowds after a match." The slight roll of his eyes may tip the newcomer off as to why he's eating here at such an odd time.

The man holds out his hand. "My name is Noatak," he says, softly, eyes on his Lieutenant's.

"Afraid our combined powers could overtake your natural good looks?" Wow, he's actually flirting.

Oh. Not a waterbender, then. Right. Good. He should have thought about that. "Thanks for the warning, I'll have to remember to avoid the crowds when I come back." If he comes back, he means; his noodles have only just arrived and they're not cool enough to taste yet... But Water Tribe guy's a regular - there wouldn't be any of those if the food wasn't good, right?

"Lu Ten," he says, and wow Noatak's eyes are a lot bluer close up like this. Handshakes are totally a thing people do, right? Let's go with yes.
