Raphael blinked, the new drink in his hand, and watched his friend walk out the door. He turned toward Masa, who seemed a little to close for comfort and sighed.
"Masa," he started, "Look, I've enjoyed all the things you've been doing, but I can't sit here and enjoy a drink with you and allow my friend to just leave."
He brought the drink to his lips and tilted his head back to chug the drink, which burned all the way down his throat. He brought his glass down with a thump on the bar and smiled slightly at Masa. She really was beautiful, and he was most likely being foolish to just let this alone time pass, but he was a good friend and he wouldn't allow Zack to be sad.
Raphael stood, his arm out, offering it to Masa, "Well, lets go find him, shall we?"
