Yang blinked. That was an awfully curt answer. But it looked like Ralph didn't want to add details, so Yang figured it was probably best not to press for any. It'd be hypocritical of her to want to know all the juicy bits of someone's backstory when she was so reluctant to talk about hers. "Well, that's pretty cool," she said. "You get to have a say in what cases you take, you're your own boss, and you still get to take out bad guys. Sounds like a win-win situation."

"Yeah, well at least I..."
However, before he could finish speaking, one of the pockets in Ralph's overalls began to vibrate. Glancing away from Yang, he pulled a cellphone from the pocket and flicked the screen open so that he could see the number dialing in. A frown crept across his face once more as he recognized the home number of one of his sources.
"Sorry, I gotta take this call."
With that said, Ralph pressed the accept button and held the phone to his ear as he spoke in a voice that was cool, strong and slightly edged.
"This is Lacoeur."
A voice spoke on the other end of the line and for the next several moments the Giant merely listened, the look on his face growing deeper with each passing minute.

"Oh, sure. That's fine." Yang had no problem with Ralph taking a call, although the look on his face was a bit concerning. She wasn't sure if it was necessarily angry, but it definitely wasn't amused. She wondered what was going on. Did Ralph have some new client? Had he found a lead on one of his cases? She was very curious about it.

"Right. Alright. I got it. Thanks."
Ralph closed his phone after listening for a few more minutes before pressing the bridge between his eyes with his fingers.
His source had uncovered some information on the case he was looking at for Aqua and wanted him to meet him at their regular rendezvous point as fast as possible. The guy had sounded very excited about what he had and Ralph figured that he wasn't fibbing. After all, the guy held just enough fear of the Giant to know not to lead him on a wild goose chase.
Despite his exhaustion and how badly he just wanted to finish talking with Yang and go home to bed, he knew he would have to make a detour now.
"Listen, that was something I have to take care of. Last minute sort of thing, so sorry and all but looks like our chat will have to be put on hold. At least for now."

"That's fine." Ralph's detective job seemed to keep him pretty busy. No wonder he had been a bit grumpy when she had bumped into him. No doubt he was under a lot of stress. "I hit up this place pretty often. Swing by and you'll probably find me."

"The Nevermore Bakery, huh?"
Ralph looked up at the sign with a somewhat bemused expression on his face before glancing back at Yang. It was clear enough from her words that she wasn't against the idea of seeing him again and, somewhat surprising to himself, he actually kinda like the sound of that, too.
"Well, who knows? Maybe we'll run into each other again. Either way, see you around Yang."
And on sudden impulse, Ralph held out his massive fist towards the young woman and waited. He'd only met her a few moments ago and yet some instinct was telling him that Yang and him had a lot more in common than a dislike of demons and a passion for fighting.

Yang smiled as Ralph held out his fist towards her. The guy could be a bit grouchy sometimes, but other than that, he seemed like a pretty cool guy. Not to mention, their conversation had distracted her from Thrax, for the moment. No doubt he'd pop into her head later, especially once she was trying to sleep and had nothing to keep her mind occupied. But, for the moment, he was long gone from her brain. She wondered if anybody like Shadow or Anna knew him back when he was a member of the BPD. She made a mental note to try and ask them sometime. Maybe she could figure out why he left. Regardless, she bumped her fist against his. "See ya." She gave a wink before heading off.
