[her journal rests open, waiting for her. She'd thought about filtering to anyone who had spoken to her during her strange loss and apologizing; she'd considered talking to Mat about winning her in the auction. ...But, she finally decides that she would rather just hope that everyone has forgotten about all of that, and doesn't say anything.

[This guy's just passing by, intent on getting from Point A to Point B as quick as he can with other people around and the kissing plague. There's a scarf wrapped around his face, just in case.

...And he stops when he sees Sakaki. She was on that awful loss, and she looks normal and timid there now, so. Maybe she's all better and wants to know, no hard feelings? And maybe the castle won't make a horrible kiss happen. It's worth a shot.]

Hey, Sakaki-san!

[so_catless]

[the familiar voice catches her and she turns--starting to smile... and then she remembers the last time she's talked to him. And that wonderful loss. Ugh.]

[sheepish bow of her head] ...Hello.

[advisortype]

[Aww, Sakaki... your timidness and embarrassment over the castle's stupid will never not make Yosuke sad.]

How's it going? Enjoying all the snow?

[so_catless]

[him pretending it never happened is helping. She manages a small smile through the embarrassment]

Yes, everything is beautiful this year. ...The skirts are a little much, though.

[y halo, have someone looking up from her own journal to address Sakaki directly] I think partridges are to be eaten, actually.

Anyway...there's plenty of birds in here as it is.

[so_catless]

[she glances over and, honestly, looks a little shocked by that]

...Eaten?

[saikyou_saiaku]

[d-da'aww]

Yes. They're hunted for game, so I suppose there has to be something done with the captured partridges.

[so_catless]

But... the pear tree.

[bratwonder]

[Ttly knowledgable] It's an ornament you put in a pear tree.

[so_catless]

[hmm]

I think it's a bird.

[bratwonder]

Not like any bird I ever ate. [Wanders through the lobby, hand up to give the tall girl a high-five.] 'Sup, Sakaki?

[so_catless]

[she frowns a little at that comment, but then he's showing up. She will totally high-five that kid, as stoic as ever]

Hello.

...Why would you eat it?

[no_bloody_lord]

[someone has been doing his research (both for fun and survival's sake) and has figured out what those birds do. He isn't quite as sophisticated as Crowley...but he's figured out enough to know he can feign innocence if he plays his cards right.

Which, this kind of thing? Is right up his alley.

So when he spots Sakaki sitting in the lobby, he'll just put his hands in his pockets and stroll over, maybe keeping an eye out for those birds. After all... she's not possessed and they do have a date to deal with. This could work out.]

Hey...

[ooc: if I screw this up one more time? I give up]

[so_catless]

[she glances up and-- oh. ...Mat. She manages a small smile]

...Hello.

[ooc: /just laughs forever]

[no_bloody_lord]

[coming over to sit next to her]

Miss Sakaki, you look lovely, today.

[ooc: shut up, you]

[so_catless]

[blushing a bit]

Oh... thank you.

I think the skirts are a little much.
