[You catch up with the goons standing around a department store across from the coffee shop Hiromi and Kyon went in. They're trying very hard to be subtly spying, and failing ] (But no Taki, I take it.) [Taki's not there!] * Katie walks up with Satoshi! And by the goons. Maybe they're saying something amusing. * Satoshi glances over at the goons briefly and then keeps heading for the cafe. * Katie pushes the doors open and holds one for Satoshi. Aw! Thank you. * Katie smiles. "You're welcome." ( Ok, now join #Hiromi ) [You head in. Kyon and Hiromi are sitting at a table by the counter.] * Kyon has joined #notadate [They've just been served.] * Satoshi gives them a quick glance, then looks at Katie. "Anywhere you'd prefer to sit?" * Katie looks around, then points out a table by the doors and windows. "How about there?" Looks good. * Satoshi heads for it. [Unfortunately that's the wrong table and it eats you. GAME OVER!] * Katie walks after and has a seat. Hopefully, she isn't also eaten. (Curses.) [Or you just sit down.] (See, this is why you should have asked Kyon where to sit.) (Wouldn't that blow our cover, such as it is?) (Yeah, I know. Just better than getting eaten, is all.) (Are there menus there already, or do we need to wait for one?) [There are menus!] * Satoshi picks up his menu and flips through it. * Katie does, too. "How are things going for you, anyway?" In general? * Katie nods. (My girlfriend, who isn't really my favorite, is in love with you and in denial about it. I'm great!) (No she isn't. She already told me!) (This is assuming that Satoshi even has a favorite. Well, aside from Kaede, of course. ^_~) (WHAT? I thought it was Satoshi/Kyon all the way.) (Yeah, didn't you see the swing scene? That was SUBTEXT. Writ large.) (This is true. But before Kyon got back? All Kaede. Satoshi's so fickle.) Mmmmm... okay, I guess. * Katie looks over the menu at Satoshi. "You guess?" Well, all this Arcana business has left me so busy that I haven't really done much besides deal with it, go to school, go to practice, and do homework. * Katie sighs. Yeah, tell me about it. I haven't done anything like this in a while. I'm sorry it's not with Taki. I know you wanted to go with her. It's okay. I wonder why she ran off, though... ( Because her player's not here ) (Well, yes, *I* know that. But he doesn't. ;p) I don't know. Maybe she was nervous? * Satoshi taps his fingers on the table. "Possibly." He waits a few seconds. "We can talk about something else if you want." ( or even if you don't :P ) I don't know. * Katie looks around, taking in the rest of the restaurant. * Satoshi sighs. "If it were really important, I would have made time for her. Wouldn't I?" * Katie blinks, then turns her attention back to Satoshi. "I'm sorry?" Just thinking out loud. Sorry. No, tell. You want to talk about it. [At some point a waiter comes and takes your order.] * Katie asks for hot chocolate and a slice of berry cake. [And gets it! Woo.] * Satoshi half-smiles. "Not really hiding it, am I? Okay. For someone who's supposedly dating Taki, I'm not doing much about it." (Sweet!) * Satoshi orders green tea and some sort of bun. [And gets it! Woo.] (Awesome.) * Katie waits for the waiter to go, then says, "Not really." She picks off a bit of the cake and nibbles on it. [He goes.] * Satoshi looks surprised for a moment, then answers in the same language. "" * Katie laughs. "" * Katie nods. "" * Katie has a sip of cocoa and another bite of cake before she says, "" (Think she is more interested in the idea?) (Yes.) (Okay, wanted to make sure I'd interpreted that correctly.) * Katie looks down at her cake and pokes at it. "" (I you?) (-I) (Sorry. I edited and missed it. ^^;) (And then she'll be your problem. ;p) * Katie shrugs. "" * Katie grins a little. "" * Katie picks up a berry and pops it in her mouth. * Haruko is now known as Grydle * Satoshi grimaces slightly. " (+ ") * Satoshi grins a bit. "" * Katie sticks her tongue out at Satoshi. "" * Katie has more cocoa + cake. An awesome combination. * Satoshi sips tea. * Katie taps her chin and looks out the window. "" <...yes.> * Katie takes a breath, then lets it out. " (+") * Katie glances at the table with Kyon and Hiromi, then looks back at Satoshi. "" * Satoshi half-smiles. "" * Katie laughs. "" ( money ) * Satoshi blinks a few times, then whispers. "" He winces slightly. "<-she's not really that deep of a thinker.>" * Katie processes that, glances at the pair again, and then nods. (I... need to sleep.) (Me too.) ( Me too! ) (End?) [End!]
