But instead of speaking up, she continued to sit in silence on the couch for another moment or two, thinking to herself. Eventually she stood, moving her gaze from Kanji to Yosuke.
"I suppose I'll get the drinks. Is there anything you three would like?"

Yosuke involuntarily jumped at Naoto's question and sprang up from his seat immediately. "I'll help!"

But then again, it was a little too late to volunteer. Rubbing the back of his neck, he answered, "Just a... a soda's fine..."

"You came on short notice. Will a birthday dinner tomorrow be okay?" he asked, handing plates to the other two.
He was a bit worried about the way Yosuke has been reacting to Kanji so far. He almost understands why but he thought that since Kanji hasn't tried punching him yet, he would be okay.

"Happy birthday, Kanji-kun." She gave him a small smile, placed the plate down on the end table next to the couch then made her way over to the kitchen to grab the drinks. Opening the fridge, she pulled out a soda for Kanji then stopped to glance back at Yosuke.

"Oh...this is a birthday party? Uh. Sorry, I didn't know."

He beamed a great big grin over to Souji. It suddenly made more sense why everyone was being extra nice to him - except Yosuke, who apparently didn't know. But he wasn't about to get pissed over that, considering he didn't know either.
Kanji took a bite of pizza before exclaiming to the other two, with a full mouth, "Thanksh, shenpai! Naoto!" There was more, but it was unintelligible until he swallowed: "...We don't gotta do anything special. I got everything I need right here."

He nodded, but that didn't mean he wasn't going to make something special for dinner tomorrow. Well, speaking of the fact that Kanji didn't know what day today was...
"Kanji, what day was it back in Inaba when you were Pulled here this time?" he asked as he took a slice for himself and sat at the table.

But as Souji brought up his next question, she paid more attention to the conversation, staring at Kanji and just waited for an answer.

Like everybody else in the room, Yosuke was studying Kanji. The main difference being that Yosuke was still trying to figure out what a guy like that was doing there in the first place. Obviously he didn't have the whole picture. Souji was no idiot, and that Shirogane kid didn't seem to be, either.
Still, he wasn't about to get into punching range or anything. But he was just as curious as the others, even if it was for different reasons. "Did you actually go back to Inaba? You're sure?"

He sighed, rocking his head back to crack his neck. Though the memories of previous conversations they'd had in Siren's Port returned and told him everything would be okay in the end, the events going on in Inaba were still fresh and raw for him. He didn't want to spend much time talking about them. But here they were all expecting it, so there was no way around it. "It was November 6th," he says. "Pretty sure, at least. Nanako, uh... We were on our way to rescue Nanako."
