X-23 had been running around the City's rooftops, if for no other reason than simply being able to, watching the crowds swarm below, ready to fulfil her supposed mission of dealing with crime at a moment's notice. She spotted Yukina fairly easily; a mixture of enhanced senses and brightly coloured hair made her stand out, and somewhat curious, X-23 began to follow her.

It wasn't until Yukina dropped what she was carrying that X-23 made herself known. She jumped to the ground, landing heavily against the pavement, and made a grab for the orange that had just bumped against somebody's shoe. The person in question glanced down at her with a distasteful expression, too preoccupied with acting busy to even considering helping out.

Ignoring him, X-23 picked up a few other items, and then turned to Yukia. She didn't make eye contact, kept her gaze on the cracks in the pavement below, and held out her scattered shopping to her.

"Thank you, Laura," said Yukina with a little smile, using the name X-23 had gone by when they last saw each other.

She was wearing her kimono today, and pulled the fabric hanging down from one sleeve up towards her body, collecting the food she'd purchased from the quiet dark-haired girl in the make-shift pocket. Of course, she'd still have to hold onto everything, but it would make it easier to avoid dropping anything this way.

"How have you been lately?"

She still didn't like that name, still didn't think it had anything to do with her at all, but she didn't speak up about it. X-23 simply shook her head a little in response to the question, and then almost turned to leave. Almost, until she decided that she could at least put a little effort in, and ignore her instinct to flee.

“Need help?”

[ ooc; sorry for the delay, too! I didn't get the alert ]

"I should be all right," said Yukina. "But I would like some company, if you're willing."

Laura/X-23 seemed so shy. Yukina herself could be somewhat introverted, but she supposed that if a chemical had been specifically created to make the other girl kill, other things had probably been done to her as well. The best thing to do was to not pry, but to extend her hand in friendship anyhow.

"We could go for a walk and enjoy the nice weather," she suggested.

The long-haired boy seemed familiar, and it was kind of him to stop and pick up the oranges for her. As she finished pulling her kimono sleeve against her and gathering most of the items against her body, she smiled.

"Thank you, Bakura," Yukina said gratefully. She moved in closer so that he could drop the oranges onto the bundle of food that had spilled unceremoniously out onto the ground.

"The weather is lovely today, isn't it?"

"I should be all right," said Yukina. "I can always buy a cloth bag so I don't have to use flimsy ones like this one in the future."

It would probably be less wasteful as well. Although Yukina wasn't an environmental activist, she believed it was important to not be wasteful and messy. She had been shocked to discover that people threw their garbage on the ground at random here.

"How have you been lately?"
