As it happened, Shiori was alone in the apartment. She opened the door smiling broadly at Sydney. "Welcome! Please come in." She stepped aside, giving Sydney room to enter, before letting the door close behind them as she hurried into the kitchen. "Would you like some food, or something to drink?"

It was probably obvious to someone like Sydney that Shiori was avoiding eye contact like the plague.

It was more than obvious to Sydney within simple moments of seeing Shiori face to face that she was hiding something, from the erratic movement of her eyes, to the thin sheen of sweat evinced on the back of her neck when she turned to enter the kitchen. The last thing Sydney wanted was for the girl to feel like this was a shakedown so she gave her a friendly smile and took a few steps inside.

"Some coffee, if you had any," she said instinctively, trying to buy herself an extra moment to look around. She realized only after saying it that coffee here wasn't exactly the same as back home: she could probably deliver it with the tap of a button. Oh well. She still stole a cursory glance around the apartment for open datapads, et cetera, as she waited.

"Coffee..." Shiori muttered to herself. She had loved making coffee, at one point. Eri's cafe was one of her favourite places, apart from the orphanage, the church and the library.

Shiori had a lot of favorite places.

She brings Sydney the sad excuse for coffee with an apologetic wrinkle of her eyebrows. "I'm still not sure what stands in for sugar around here, sorry. Please, sit." She gestures over to the couch.

Taking her seat, Shiori clasps her hands in her lap. "Why...why do you think someone would take us? I-if that's what's going on here."

"Thanks," Sydney said, taking the cup and holding it between her legs, pretending to wait for it to cool. Really, she wouldn't trust it enough to take a sip at this point, not until she knew more about Sakita, but she was prepared to pretend ( ... )
