Kozue looked back and forth—on one side of her was Misaki, putting a finger to her lips, though Kozue couldn't quite imagine why, unless she was trying to sneak past the ducks? And on the other, calling her over, Reizo. He was lounging on the bench and looking—well, not overtly hostile, which she supposed was a very good mood for the delinquent. She paused for a moment, and then she caught sight of the bread in Reizo's hand. He was the one throwing the food to the ducks?
This, she had to learn more about. Besides, it seemed a good plan to go along with what Reizo asked you to do—at least if that wasn't anything obviously illegal or dangerous, and sitting down on a bench didn't seem likely to cause any undue harm. Kozue balanced the two actions (sitting next to Shirai and not doing something that Shirai asked) and discovered which one was, on the whole, more frightening. It wasn't a hard decision. So she trotted over in her heels and dropped onto the bench beside him.
"Hey," and she caught sight of the topsicle stick. The guy was totally around here somewhere! Awesome. She paused for a moment, looking for a neutral greeting that wasn't immediately jumping to what do you want from me? or why are you feeding cute fluffy animals?. She eventually settled on "Enjoying the day?"
