[ He's--not surprised, but, touched, really. Yukiko is a thoughtful person even if they spend most of their time messing with each other in a friendly way. ]

...Yeah. Thanks.

[ He exhales slowly through his nose. ]

I mean it, though. It's not that you're not cool now--obviously you are, I've always thought so. Weird powers and new talents are just, like, another layer to the coolness.

[They do spend quite a lot of time screwing around with one another don't they? That may need to change, at some point. But not right now. Her hand drops from his shoulder and she bobs her head in acknowledgement.]

I can accept that.

[Shifting, she looks him right in the eye.]

You know, you'll have these changes yourself. Eventually. and when you do, I'll be here to support you. I want you to know that.

...

[ Did she know that he's been feeling kind of left out from all the potential coolness that's been going around? He hopes he isn't that obvious...

So he does what he does best--he tries to laugh it off. ]

H-Hey, this is about you, right? Your fire powers and your saxophone playing...which, hey, we should test that second thing.

[How long has she known him? She is sharper than she lets on.]

We should. I was actually going to head to a music shop this afternoon and see about giving one a try. Maybe picking one up.

[It's not like she doesn't have the money.]

Come with me? I'll drop you off after.

[ That definitely piques his interest. Yosuke's mood improves dramatically. ]

Y-Yeah? Really? That would be great! I happen to be a great resource on these kinds of things, you know.

I know you're interested in music. So, I'll trust you on that much.

[Nodding towards the parking lot then?]

[ He'll follow right along! ]

Did you know I can play more than the guitar? Not the sax, but, I'm sure I can recognize some good brands at least. C'mon!

[ This is definitely easier to think about than the fire thing. ]

You're driving, right?

I didn't but I do now.

[She laughs brightly, already heading off that way.]

Of course.

[She has the Mystery Machine, who do you think is driving?]

Ahahaha! Well, I'll keep your secret if you keep mine.

[ Why does she forgive Yukiko for the cat comment but not Ryoji... It's because Yukiko is a sweet and beautiful person and friend, that's why!! ]

That's all people have been doing these days, anyway.

[ Ryoji's disappearance, Nobu's feelings. In a time when her closest friends seem so distant from her, she can't help but feel alone. ]

What have you been up to?

Just getting ready for graduation, honestly.

[You know, that's definitely something that's happening.]

That and getting things together for college. Eleanor and I are rooming together, and got a place near the campus.

[One of those rich kid things, an investment in property that eventually will turn into a place they can rent once Yukiko's done with school.]

Tip 001: If you're afraid your cooking is a little too bland, just put in ten hot chilli peppers in it. That'll definitely add some flavor with a little kick!

Tip 002: Curry is pretty much a melting pot of deliciousness. Don't be afraid to mix in lots of different types of food into it. Meat? Go for it. Fruits? Absolutely. Candy? Delicious.

Tip 003: Why bake something at 300 degrees for ten minutes when you can bake it at 3000 degrees for one minute?

Tip 004: If you need a warm spoon to easily scoop out something, just put that metal spoon in the microwave. The sparkling means you're doing it correctly.

Tip 006: Boiling water is absolutely called cooking.

Tip 007: When your stove isn't working, just find an iron and flip it outside down. Bam, new stove.

Tip 008: The best kind of bentos are bentos in the shape of cats. There is no better bento than that.

What is this?

All of these are abjectly false except for that last one.

[It's a little after one when Eleanor turns up on Yukiko's doorstep and rings the bell. She's dressed quite nicely, grey (IT USED TO BE BLUE) blouse, black skirt and flats, her big purse hanging over her shoulder. She has sunglasses on, and can't quite stand still, shifting her weight from foot to foot as she waits for Yukiko to answer.]

[This was all odd for two reason. One, Eleanor didn't call first, and she always called first, and two, she was supposed to be at her internship right then.]

Edited 2017-06-22 17:00 (UTC)

[It is odd, odd enough for Yukiko to blink at least once when she opens the door. Something is Wrong, with the capital W because that internship is really, really important to El.

She doesn't say a word, she just grabs her key from by the doorframe and steps outside, ready to go.]

Trouble? Where and what?

Hi.

[It's hard to tell if Eleanor is relieved or not when Yukiko answers. She tugs her sunglasses off and tucks them into the pocket of her shirt, then pulls out of her phone without saying anything, tapping on the screen before holding it up. She is clearly all-business.]

[On it is just a picture of the retrospec app and a few random entries.]

What do you see?

[Yukiko studies it in silence a moment before shaking her head.]

A Retrospec contact list. I take it that I'm missing something.

What?

[Eleanor visibly relaxes, like she was just about holding herself together, and her arm drops to her side. It's a few seconds before she actually say anything though.]

Oh thank god.

[And then she smiles weakly.]

...Sorry I guess that was pretty weird.
