Nagina Hasane has posed:
Nagina Hasane had been following Yuzu from a rather safe distance for a while now, not quite binocular distance, yet if one were to try and find the girl it would be all the harder to just outright see her. Dressed in a black hoodie and purple skirt with thick black winter stockings, she would go as far as to enter the foreign school's grounds..! (Just not going indoors.) Though of course she would not skip out on her own school to stalk, it could simply be that the school was out early for some strange reason.

For now it seemed to all be but a scouting mission, though, getting a feel for Yuzu's schedules, all for planning things in in the future, of course! That.. And to look for something. Something else. Something she was too scared to outright ask the other girl

Yuzuki Amemori has posed:
It's late after school, cloudy and getting rather cool out. Yuzuki's wearing her winter uniform with a pair of tights as she sits out front of the school, waiting quietly. She has her laptop case next to her, her school bag over her shoulders and she's playing with her phone. A gust of wind blows some of her pale hair into her eyes and mouth, getting a sputtering fit and some muttering. Gathering up her hand, she pulls her hair back into a ponytail and fishes out an elastic and holds her hair in place.

She doesn't notice Nagina out there, though that's mostly because of her phone focus. There's a huff of annoyance and she sends a text back, then pockets the phone and leans against her case, yawning sleepily and wondering if she should just take a nap now that her plans fell through.

Nagina Hasane has posed:
Nagina Hasane did not seem to mind the cloudiness, though the cold did make her dress up with more and more layers, making her seem somewhat bulkier than normal. She stood around a street corner, staring, observing, learning.. Yet, when she noticed it seemed like Yuzuki had nothing to do, she pulled out her own phone, hiding fully around the corner and sending Yuzu a little text message with the simple comment "Want to go for a drink?"

After all.. Her first days in town were spent exploring, finding out where everything was, and she figured there was a caf? closeby the school. Something she might be able to sneak off to and arrive at before the other girl could. But first.. She waited for a yes/no, so she knew on whether to keep stalking.. Or just go on ahead and send the address whilst walking

Yuzuki Amemori has posed:
Yuzuki Amemori sits up straight as her phone squeaks something at her. Looking at the message, she looks confused at first, then shrugs. She sends a reply of, "Sure, where to?" to Nagina and stretches out to wake herself up. Hefting her case up and slinging it it across her shoulder she begins to walkdown the path towards Tokyo proper, pausing at the sidewalk to wait for a reply from Nagina.

Tapping her foot while waiting for a reply, she checks her school bag to pull a pair of headphones free and plug them into her phone so she's got some music while she walks.

Nagina Hasane has posed:
Nagina Hasane almost made a happy little noise at the reply, starting to walk off, a bit further into the city as she wrote a reply of her own on the phone. Giving some directions to a tucked away caf?, a homely looking place that had glass walls for the storefront. A few booths were inside, yet it seemed mostly empty with an elderly pair behind the counter. This was where Nagina entered, giving a little wave to the store owners, asking for a cup of iced tea and letting them know she was waiting for a friend to arrive.

What Yuzu might notice if she manages to arrive without getting lost, was that the menu also showed some good looking desserts/pastries, another reason why Nagina might have called her over there! It was a cozy little place for get-togethers

Yuzuki Amemori has posed:
Yuzuki Amemori shows up at the coffee shop only a few minutes late. A mixture of actually walking there, getting lost and other things. Stepping into the building and giving Nagina a wave, she smiles faintly and says, "Hey Nagina." while making her way to the counter since it looks like the other girl had already ordered. She gets a touch distracted by the chance at some sugary goodness though and lingers over the pastries. Eventually she says, "Could I get uh... Oolong and uh..." before trailing off. Eventually she points to a piece of cake and pays, offering to pay Nagina's on the sly if she hadn't already done that too before taking her seat

Nagina Hasane has posed:
Nagina Hasane seemed to brighten up a touch at Yuzuki to be seen through the window walls, giving a little wave back "Hiya... ... Is everything ok?" Taking note of the faint smile, she grew a little look hinting of concern, herself, though not shouting such a message out loud. Though.. Sweetness did always help cheer things up, saying "Ah, they usually bill you by the end of things here.. So you don't have to worry about it until you have to go~" Giving a gentle little smile to those behind the counter, before requesting a little plate of small daifuku pastries by the side with sweet filling. Waiting for the tea to arrive as well as the pastries, she mused "So, how did the day go? Learned a lot at school~?"

Yuzuki Amemori has posed:
Yuzuki Amemori takes her seat across from Nagina and stifles a wide yawn before slumping forward with her forehead on the table. "Sleeeepy." is all she offers to Nagina's question. After a few moments she sits straight up again, leans back in her chair and asks, "How about yourself?" Giving the other girl a curious look.

Eventually she leans forward, elbow on table, chin in hand as she tries to resist the urge to take a nap in the cozy little shop. "I think I did? It was a blur. A sleepy one."

Nagina Hasane has posed:
Nagina Hasane blinked, only as if now realizing that wtas an option, she let out a quiet, somewhat emberassed giggle "Ah, I am doing well enough, school was having a short day. Still.."

A warm, gentle smile appeared on those lips, speaking somewhat like someone that observed something adorable "You did seem somewhat bored by the -- Ahh, when you came over here!" With that little blunder.. Distraction came! One of the two elderly moving over to place a little platter a piece of chocolate cake, surrounded by small daifukus (yes, the irony is understood), as well as a pair of small forks "Ah, food!"

Yuzuki Amemori has posed:
Yuzuki Amemori sits back up straight as the owners bring the snack over. Looking down at the plate of cake and daifuku, she pokes at one of them curiously a few times like she's amused by them. "You were released early?" Sounding surprised. Rolling her shoulders, she pulls her chair in closer and sits up straight, looking like a presentable human being again!

It's about then that she noticed that Nagina mentioned she looked bored. She gives the girl a steady look and asks, "Were you at my school?" She doesn't assume she was followed, more just coincidence. There's a beat then she asks, "Wait if you were there, why didn't you come say hi?"

Nagina Hasane has posed:
Nagina Hasane nodded as she took a little fork of her own, quickly swiping a little bit of that chocolate cake, using it as an excuse to not-speak.. As well as to simply enjoy the delicious cake! Though that meant things were still unanswered, pondering on how to answer it... Though seeing Yuzuki slight straight up, that bit of cuteness... It got the girl to genuinely smile a warm smile, almost sighing a happy little sigh.

An audible gulp, and down the cake piece went, replying with an awkwardness that suggested she might fear that Yuzuki might think she was stalking her! still, her answer in turn was simply "I, ah... I was a bit scared..? I mean.. Well.. I wouldn't want to damage your reputation!"

Yuzuki Amemori has posed:
Yuzuki Amemori picks up one of Nagina's pastries in response to some of her cake being stolen and tries it! Because it's fair play. And they looked tasty because strawberries. she leans forward and rests her chin on her hand again and reaches out to poke the girl's forehead with her free hand, "Just come say hi, I don't think you're going to damage my reputation."

After a beat she looks confused, "Why would you affect that? Have you been caught stealing from people or something?" What, that's the worst she could imagine. She doesn't seem to be the type to worry about it.

Nagina Hasane has posed:
Nagina Hasane pouts a touch at her cake being swiped.. Swiping a bit more chocolate cake, before jabbing a piece of daifuku and, combining the two to top things off and taking a bite of said combination.. Only to feel her expression slowly sink into one of regret. The pouting only intensified at the poke, in turn replying "Because I'm younger than you, and from a different school! People.. Tend to get weird ideas in their heads.." cheeks turning a faint shade of pink, just to add "It just about seems unnatural in society! That.. And I'd probably just look like some silly groupie..."

Yuzuki Amemori has posed:
Yuzuki Amemori snrks at the pouting and says, "Hey! It's only fair play." Though there's a confused look that passes when Nagina begins to regret.. something. "I do music, I talk to all sorts of people. If I let that stop me, I'd probably have even fewer fans! But it's a start."

The shade of pink and overall attitude gets a rather confused look once more. "That we're friends? The horror! Or do you mean something else?" getting a playful grin, figuring it's just harmless teasing. She takes a bite of her cake and settles into sleepy content.

Nagina Hasane has posed:
Nagina Hasane was regretting combining two pastries that, for her, did not mix well in any fashion! Cringing a touch, looking a hint pained to go with that regret. Still! At the reassurance, she cocked her head to the side "Still though.. I just figured.. It would be best to just meet here.. Besides.. Cake!" She spoke in her defense. What else could one possibly need? Other than her iced tea which she happily took a sip of. As the confusion seemed to intensify, and teasing happened, she would just look into her cup, holding it with both hands and using it to hide her expression, speaking into it "Mean..! But.." Finally, putting the cup down, speaking below her breath "...maybe...?" Then, but a heartbeat later: "So! How's the cake?" Quickly swiping another little bit, just for good measure!

Yuzuki Amemori has posed:
Yuzuki Amemori tilts her head as she continues working through her cake, watching Nagina cringe. With a sip of tea, she asks, "It's not that bad is it? It's just shortbread and strawberries right?" She pokes at one with her fork, then asks "Or do you not like chocolate?" Sounding kind of surprised!

The confused look, then the nervous look get a silly smile on her face, "Oh you're worried about that sort of thing? Hah! It's fine, just tell them to mind their own business. Who wre you looking for though?" An honest curious question from the dense girl.

Nagina Hasane has posed:
Nagina Hasane shook her head,saying "It's the combination that was bad!" Though, upon realization where she was, she lowered her head a touch and looked towards the counter, quickly saying "It tastes great! Justslightlynotsogreatwheneatingtwothingsthatshouldnotmix.." That.. Was a little mouthful after which she needed to breath in,ten out again.. Looking at the dense one with a little look of 'Are you for real?' Not in an upset fashion, but simply in a surprised one of her own!

"But.. But... People!" She protested, only to shake her head a touch, again in reference to the denseness "I don't.. Ahhh.. Ehm.. I was.. Just in the neighbourhood, yes!"
