The girl had been avoiding people once again. Her party was lovely with a few close friends, but her mind had been elsewhere nearly the whole time. Someone mentioned that they thought she had gone away, back home. Sometimes she had wished she could, other times she liked it here

Hatori was pulled out of his thoughts as he was looking through a few recent entries about secret Santas, when she spoke. "No I've only been here for a few minutes, I was out of the house a little earlier than expected. I hope that it was not an inconvenience for you to come all this way just to meet."

He took a sip of the coffee before gesturing to the seat across from him, "Please have a seat."

He could tell that there were other things on the girls mind, minor bodily expressions that gave it away and were tale tale signs. Over the years Hatori had become used to noticing them, many of them early symptoms foreshadowing future shells that people would become before he ultimately had to erase whatever memory it was that ate at them. It had been there in momiji's mother, and in Kana right after the incident. Hatori stared down at his coffee for a moment, for some reason Winter had come to be something entirely different for him. "Would you like something to drink while we talk?"

Oh, there were signs of her personal distress, and she had been hiding herself away more lately, but she smiled none the less. Then again, and she hoped he wasn't like that, but Hatori seemed like a few of her other friends... in the fact that he could more then likely see through her smiles. Smile though she did, as always.

With one deep relieved sigh and a smile she nodded, taking a seat, a hand going to her chest, as if relieved that she didn't make him wait long. "Oh I'm glad then. I was worried, when I saw you, that I wandered off again in thought and ended up being late."

Tucking her skirt and sweater under her properly she settled into the sea across from him, fidgeting with her LP in her hand for a moment before sitting it down in her lap. "A Chai tea would be really nice actually..." And with another huffed sigh and a more relaxed smile, she looked up at him. "And it's no inconvenience for me to come here to meet. I needed to get out again anyhow."

"No, you are actually a few minutes early still so it is fine." Hatori pulled off his own jacket remembering someone's comment about the way he dressed making them feel hot. He laid it on the seat next to him before ensuring that his shirt wasn't wrinkled. Making sure that her order was in he focused back on the girl sitting across from him. She had mentioned that she was friends with the person that he had received which happened to be a convenient coincidence considering that she had also wound up with Akito's name. "Was there anything else you were wanting to shop for while here?"
