Out & About

[aino_san]

Minako sighed as relaxed at the cafe, her shopping bags on either side of her and a glass of ice tea in front of her, the cubes in it clinking a bit from melting. It had been a nice afternoon, just relaxing for once, no jobs or interviews to worry about and her next trip wasn't for another week.

Downtime was always nice...

Minako grins at her other self. "You look relaxed." Oddly, so does this Minako. She also looks to be in her early twenties, which may explain it; the pressure of her illness and the senshi mission are both gone.

[aino_san]

Minako looks up seeing herself there - it's weird to be looking at ones own self, albeit an older version. "I am, thanks," she nods. "Have a seat"

[loves_la_vie]

Minako takes the chair next to... Minako's... and mischievously decides they'd probably be mistaken for sisters.

"What should I try that's good here?" she asks. She's not sure she recognizes the cafe immediately.

[aino_san]

"I'm having a strawberry shortcake," she giggles. "I'm going to have fun today for a change. My schedule's been pretty crazy and I'm thankful for this breather that I've got for right now. What about you?"

[loves_la_vie]

"Sure, I'll try one, too." Minako cranes her neck to look for a waitress and makes a subtle gesture to get their attention. When they hurry over, she orders her strawberry shortcake.

[aino_san]

"Do you want anything to drink with that? I'll treat," Minako nods.

[loves_la_vie]

"No, it's alright. I'll pay." Minako does, however, end up ordering a fruit juice.

[aino_san]

"All right," Minako replied. "So, what are you up to on this lovely day? On your way to a rehearsal or do you have the day off as well?" she reaches for her iced tea.

[loves_la_vie]

"I wanted to relax a little." True enough, although she's supposed to be looking over a rough outline of her next tour's itinerary. Well, it can't be helped; she didn't plan on ending up in the nexus. And she'll get it done as soon as she gets back.

[aino_san]

"Hard to do that isn't it? But sometimes you've got to just put your foot down and do what's best for you," Minako said looking up seeing the waitress coming back with their cakes and Minako's juice setting them down in front of them. "Itadekimasu!"

[loves_la_vie]

"Thank you." Minako nodded to the server. Once they were settled, she echoed the polite phrase, and happily sank her fork into the moist cake.

[aino_san]

Minako purred happily taking a bite from the sinfully delicious cake, which was also one of her favorites. A little indulgence now and again never hurt anyone after all - she worked her butt off for it after all.

She'll run it all off at the gym later. With that happy thought to mollify guilt, Minako eats with a good appetite.

"You seem younger," she says. "So should we talk about our careers?" Did the younger girl follow the same paths? Did she want to know what might come next? Was it right to share it?

[aino_san]

"I'm 19 actually. Going to be 20 soon," she nods wiping her mouth. "What do you do? I model and sing and do a bit of acting, but I'm not so sure about that," she wavers her hand to show her uncertainty.

[loves_la_vie]

Minako shakes her head. "You have to do all of them if you want your career to advance. You need the skills you'll get from the classes you take." Dance class helps with poise even when filming a movie scene. Singing lessons can help with vocal delivery in an interview or putting emotion into her voice.

[aino_san]

Minako stifles a polite yawn. "I know. I'm already in different dance and voice coaching. My day begins at 4 a.m. and sometimes won't end until about 12-13 hours later depending on how my schedule is....," she says then counts off on her fingers. "Radio interview, magazine photo shoots, magazine interviews, press conferences, meets n greets, soundchecks, staff meeting planning sessions, lunch if I think about it, gymnastics, mixed dances, english lessons, and if it's on the itinerary, fly or drive to wherever I'm scheduled to be seen." she eyed the other woman. "Did I miss anything?" she grinned.
