Tomoko had just bought herself a new witchcraft book.

It was an interesting find - lots of new potions that can be done with minimal effort - and some of the ingredients are quite easy to find, too.

Now if only she knew where to get fresh newt toes...

"Mm." There wasn't anything left for her to do here anyway. "Let's go."

Tomoko pushed the door open again and stepped out. A part of her was disappointed that her errand was now finished, but another was glad that it happened anyway. "Thank you very much for coming with me here," she said quietly. "Ryusei-san sure is very nice."

Well, it wasn't like he'd gone out of his way or anything. "No problem. I'll...see you at your birthday?"

She smiled at him and nodded. "I'll look forward to it. You can bring Jirou-san along, if you want."

[solarsystembodysuit]

Heh. "He doesn't know anyone. I think it'd be awkward for him." Introducing the people he cared about most to each other was tempting, but sticking one person into a semi-large group didn't seem a good idea if that person wasn't infiltrating the group. ...Or something like that?

"Besides, I'd...rather spend your birthday paying you attention than babysitting my friend." Ha, Jirou would cry if he'd heard Ryusei refer to him like that. More importantly, uh. Quick, think of something to take that statement back if Tomoko didn't take it well!

Tomoko stared at him for a moment. Then, she shook her head quickly. "N-No, Ryusei-san, you... you don't have to do that." Ryusei paying her too much attention would probably make her feel horribly awkward and embarrassed... kind of what she was feeling right now.

In the end, Ryusei couldn't think of anything. Well, at least he'd said it. "... I'll see you then," he said with an embarrassed smile as he turned toward home.

She stayed where she was and watched him walk away from her, hugging her book to her chest. "...be careful, Ryusei-san," she whispered, though more to herself than to him.

After a few moments, Tomoko then turned and walked away, too.
