[b]Toma Tanaka - Warakuma Shopping Mall[/b]

Toma couldn't help but let out a small laugh, both from the realization that his question had been unexpected, and by the quizzical look on Kotori's face.

She took it in stride, however, and answered, before asking him why he wanted to know.

Instead of saying anything, he simply replied with a sly smile, motioning her to follow him with a small movement of his head. He made his way to the donut shop, which luckily had no lineup. Stepping up to the counter, he made his order.

"I'll take two cinnamon donuts," he said, running a hand through his hair to get a few stray strands out of his eye. "In separate bags, please."

After paying for them, he took one bag in each hand, and turned to face Kotori. He held one out towards the girl, giving her a small, relaxed smile.

"As thanks, for showing me around," he said. "I hope it hasn't been too painful so far." She seemed like the kind of person who would have politely declined the offer, if she had known before he had spent any money. But now that the treat was already bought, she couldn't possibly turn it down. Hopefully.
