Adachi wondered if he should have asked for Jenna's appearance before coming to meet her. Would that have seemed weird? ...Did it matter? He didn't know who to look for when he reached Rockefeller Center.

Luckily, it was pretty obvious who he was looking for once he got there, as Jenna was the only person in sight. Well, at least she was pretty; maybe that much would make it easier to put up with that typical movie star attitude he'd seen over the network. Adachi walked over to the bench with the most confident smile he could muster, which probably just ended up looking goofy.

"Are you Jenna Maroney?" he asked.

Jenna looked up from her mirror and beamed a wide, practiced smile. A small wave of relief washed over her. He was at least cute. Not smoking hot like she had secretly hoped, but passable, if a little dorky. Not like there were any paparazzi left to snap all kinds of pictures of her with him anyway.

"The one and only! Please, just call me Jenna," she responded, standing up and putting out a hand daintily. She still wasn't accustomed to being around people who hadn't at least heard of her (or politely pretended to have heard of her) so she wasn't entirely sure how to handle it.

"Tohru Adachi, I presume?"

"That's me!" he said enthusiastically, shaking her hand. "Nice to finally meet you in person." Now that he was here, he had to wonder how much Jenna actually knew about sightseeing in Manhattan. If Risette Kujikawa's visit to Inaba was something to go on, he was pretty sure stars didn't get a lot of chances to wander around town. But whatever happened, it would beat staying in the hotel by himself all day.

"So, where are we going first, Jenna?"

Jenna smiled a more genuine smile, pleased that Adachi was enthusiastic. Oh but where to start? She'd lived in New York for years but had never really done the whole tourist thing, even when she first moved to the city. She thought quickly.

"Well, Rockefeller Center is as good a place to start as any. There's this great big gold statue and an ice skating rink! It's like, practically required to be in every movie that takes place in New York," she said, doing her best to sound knowledgeable. "Let's check that out first, it's close!"

She looped her arm on his - whether he liked it or not - and led him further into the plaza toward the statue and the ice rink.
