Why: Because Kiriko used the force.

Misaki was practically skipping as she hurried down the pathway to the courtyard of the campus. She was still in a dizzy from her date the previous night with Keiichi and with examinations done she had less to worry about save for her homework...and Kozue's since she promised to do that for her. But nothing was going to get her down.

She'd gotten word from Kiriko that she wanted to hang out, something that she had not done in ages, and well, she wanted to be away from Kanaye since he probably would be visiting Maeko some time that day. Slowing her pace she checked to see she had her phone and her wallet. Noting the time, Misaki walked at a more loping pace, taking in the summer foliage and making notes that they should maybe incorporate that into their flowers.

Wonder if we should stop for lunch at some point... Misaki was thinking and then noticed Kiriko waiting. She waved her hand and rushed over, calling out, and grinning. She actually liked the sound her green skirt made as it swished. "Kiriko chan! I hope I'm not late!"

Kiriko caught sight of Misaki and smiled.

"Hey, Misaki-chan. You're right on time."

Her eyes flicked swiftly over her friend - the swooshing green skirt certainly called attention to itself. She wondered vaguely if Misaki had made it herself (would she have time for something like that, after being so tired?). She could ask later.

"Do you mind if we stop for lunch, first? There's a place up the street."

She nodded towards the shop she had in mind, a small restaurant with a deep blue awning.

"Better to do that before we get loaded down with shopping bags, no?"

	"Thanks for inviting me, I was worried about the time. I was tired after last night," Misaki happily grinned and nodded at the invitation. "Sure thing." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

It wasn't very often that Renju ate off-campus, apart from the occasional excursion to Noodle Alley. She didn't have the budget for it; though it was her aunt's generosity that kept her at Nanakamado, she was insistent on using her own money for everything else unless absolutely necessary. She didn't like taking charity, which forced her to be frugal. Not that that was normally a problem; she had ~~a few~~ no real indulgences, except for occasionally tiring of campus food and lacking the energy to cook for herself.

On those occasions, she found relatively inexpensive places to eat, and today was just such an occasion. She was seated in a booth by herself, a math textbook open next to her and a half-finished plate of pasta in front of her, keeping to herself and absorbed in her work as always.

The door chimed as Kiriko and Misaki stepped through it. She didn't spot Renju right away - she was far more preoccupied with looking down the menu (they still had the special she liked, right?) and chatting amiably to her friend. It wasn't until she started scoping out the prime seating locations that she spotted Renju - and in the approximate area she wanted to sit, no less. Nudging Misaki to point out their senpai, she helped herself to a pair of menus and approached the table.

"Hello, Sonozaki-san - mind if we join you?" she asked, already sliding into the booth at the opposite side of the table.

	"Good afternoon Renju-sempai," Misaki added in and slipped in following Kiriko's lead. She looked down at the math book. "Oh! Studying already? Um...but exams have passed you know. You don't have to work too hard." Her eyes drifted to the pasta, "Hummm, what's that?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Startled, Renju opened her mouth to speak, and noticed that Misaki and Kiriko were already inviting themselves into her booth. "Not at all," she mumbled belatedly, mildly irked by the interruption but not about to show it. She at least had the courtesy to pull in the notes and papers she'd scattered around the table to give them room.

"I know that exams are over, but I need to make sure I'm ready for juku next month. I did acceptably well on exams, but juku is going to be more demanding..." She set her pencil down and poked at her pasta with the fork she'd been provided. It had been a bit awkward at first, and she still preferred to use chopsticks for noodles, but this was the way they were supposed to be eaten, so...

"And it's spaghetti." Spaghetti dosed heavily with pepper and red pepper flakes, such that the pasta was practically drowning in them, but spaghetti nonetheless. "It's decent."

"Oh! I was reading about that. The noodles came from china and the italians added sauce to it. I heard they tasted really good." She smiled happily. "I'd like to make some dishes from Italy some day."

"Juku, you mean the exams for college? Is...are they coming up so soon? Have you thought of where you want to go?" Misaki inquired seriously. "Maeko-chan is helping me look through the files for a university for fashion. She thinks showing my mother a...ah...battle plan might help get her to see I'm serious about this."

Kiriko was perusing her menu with apparent disinterest in the conversation, and doing her best not to bite the inside of her lip. College exams... well, some would say she was far from them, but in her opinion she was too far from having her future straightened out for it to be wholy comfortable. The spaghetti conversation, unfortunately, was no more interesting, so she resorted to flagging a waiter down and ordering something elaborate.

When finished, she smiled at Renju.

"It's funny seeing you here, though. It isn't such a strange place to study, but now that the library's thinned out... anyway, how are you doing?"

"It's cram school. I'll be attending Kainou again this summer. The entrance examinations aren't until next school year for me, but I need to make sure I'm prepared." Renju shifted the spaghetti around on her plate, thinking idly of Cooking Club; she wasn't sure if Misaki had heard about her leaving, and decided that if she had, she'd have mentioned it by now. Misaki wasn't the sort to wait when it came to these things. "Especially since I'll be applying to Toudai, Osaka University, and Keio, at least." It was clear that she had this pretty well planned out.

She'd finished talking by the time Kiriko had finished her order, fortuitously. "Me? Well enough. Wishing for more peace and quiet, but..." She trailed off and shrugged helplessly. A persona-user's life was a hectic one, it seemed.

Noticing Kiriko being bored Misaki took that chance to say calmly, "Well in a way it is better when it's hectic. If it was too quiet I'd start to worry that whoever was doing this was getting ready for something."

Misaki waved the waitress over and ordered a simple sandwich and some juice. She took a sip of her water, "Oh Renju-sempai, would you like to join us shopping? I mean, if that's okay with Kiriko-chan?"

"Oh, of course that's fine with me." Kiriko flashed a bright smile in Sonozaki's direction. Getting her something other than a baggy sweater would certainly be a service to her. "The girls from the team should hang out more outside of school, don't you think?"

And maybe she'd she'd get an opportunity to ask her about cram school, to boot.

"You're almost done though, right? We should eat quickly, Misaki-chan."

"Oh, no, it's..." Renju trailed off, poking at her meal a bit more intently. Shopping? She'd never gone shopping for anything except food and books, and certainly not with anyone except her parents. The prospect was... well, she couldn't imagine it being anything but incredibly awkward, for more reasons than one.

"I need to study," she finished lamely. "I don't really have time."

	Misaki clapped her hands together quickly and bowed her head, "Please oh please oh please Renju-chan! I'd love for you to go shopping with us! It'll be a lot of fun! Seriously, Kiriko-chan knows all the best shops to get clothing, and she's really good at finding hair clips and stuff. Please come with us! We can go anywhere that you'd like."
