It kinda sucks.

[KINDA]

[riderfist]

Well, that's certainly a precise way to put it.

[purrtagonist]

[he can't help it. he laughs]

No point in beating around the bush, is there?

[not after she called him out, anyway]

[riderfist]

It isn't going to help, is it?

[purrtagonist]

It isn't.

[kicks at the ground. there's a moment of hesitation, before he reaches out to slide an arm around her shoulders as they walk. Ryuji leaving might've reminded him not to be so reticent with affection]

Things just don't feel right without everyone.

[riderfist]

[no one is getting judo flipped today, that's the good news. she even leans into him, since they both kind of need to feel connected]

I really never thought about us being separated again while here.

[purrtagonist]

[that is exactly the reason he pulled her close. people probably think they're a couple now oops]

Me neither, even though Mishina-san brought up the possibility of it before.

[riderfist]

[people have been thinking that since like social link rank 5]

Did he? It makes sense, but it hasn't even been that long...

[purrtagonist]

[okay point]

Two months.

Mishina-san has been here a lot longer than us, though. He's seen a lot of people come and go.

[riderfist]

Very nearly two months. Which is more time than it sounds, but it doesn't feel like it's been so long when something like this takes place.

[purrtagonist]

[that's true as heck]

[. . . a small sigh]

On the bright side, we at least know we'll see him and the others again eventually.

[they just don't know when]

[riderfist]

Yes... but I'd really sort of prefer all of us going together.

[purrtagonist]

All for one and one for all?

[pulls up a grin for her]

[riderfist]

[haru is the musketeer tho]

Something like that.

[purrtagonist]

[damn straight she is]

Time to invest in matching feathered hats. We'll base ours off of Noir's style.

[riderfist]

There may be a milliner somewhere in the city.

[purrtagonist]

A-- what?

[riderfist]

... A hat maker?

[purrtagonist]

[oh!!]

Why didn't you just say that?

[riderfist]

I ... did?

[you know she's old-fashioned]

[purrtagonist]

[it's like the whole thing about cardigans again]

. . . I suppose I was due for a new vocabulary lesson. . .

[riderfist]

[please someone get her a slang dictionary]

It's not that uncommon a word.

[purrtagonist]

It's not one I'm familiar with. I learned something today.

[flashes her a smile, trying to help her not feel so out-of-place for using a word that NOBODY PROBABLY KNOWS. . .]

[riderfist]

I hope it will turn out useful.

[it'll probably be on your first test when you get home to Hicksville]

[purrtagonist]

[he'll get that answer right and he'll mentally thank Makoto for it]

I'm sure it will, somewhere down the line-- hey! What about this place?

[gestures to a quaint little cafe they were just about to pass]
