It had taken Sonic a good amount of time to figure out that he could get the map on the journal to talk to him, but once he had that down it was no problem to figure out where he was going. It hadn't taken him too long to head up north and find the Namine girl he'd met over the journals, and after a quick introduction and an inquiry as to whether she wanted to go fast, he was carrying her through the streets of Paixao at incredibly high speeds (well, it felt normal to him at least), eyes peeled for this ramen place. That guy'd said it was on the south side...

He nearly missed the hand-lettered sign outside the building. "Ha!" Skidding to an abrupt stop, he nodded at the sign, then the door. "Found it." Setting the girl lightly on her feet, he opened the door and in a rare moment of propriety held it open for her to enter. He whistled appreciatively as he followed her in. "Pretty nice setup they've got here."

Now where was the guy he'd been talking to...?

That Naminé wasn't used to traveling at speed was an understatement. She'd had to keep her eyes shut tight for most of the trip, and even then her stomach was still doing backflips when Sonic finally jerked to a stop and set her down. It took her a moment to get her bearings again, and it was only belatedly that she realized he was holding the door for her and scurried in.

She stayed close to the door, though, letting Sonic pass her again as soon as she'd passed him. It wasn't unusual for her, but she just felt as if she shouldn't be here.

Kariya's armchair, while rather out of the way of the door, more or less faced into the dining room, so he noticed the pair almost as soon as they entered. Briefly he wondered why they hadn't set off the bell over the door, before he remembered they didn't have one.

Come to think of it, was the shop even open yet? He wasn't sure. Well, if it wasn't, he'd leave it to Uzuki to throw them out if she wanted; frankly he didn't really care one way or the other.

"Irasshaimase," he said halfheartedly, returning to whatever he was doing with his journal.

Sonic wasn't so taken with the ramen shop that he didn't notice Naminé's hesitance. Maybe he'd been going a little too fast for her...? He turned to her, concerned. "Hey, are you doin' okay?"

He waited for a response before turning to look at the guy he'd been talking to earlier - Sonic must've missed him when he first walked in. Of course, he had no idea what had just been said. "What?"

Naminé swallowed and nodded quickly. "I-I'm fine." She opted not to mention that the ride had quite taken away her appetite. (Not that she ever ate a lot anyway, but...)
