[h3]Shizuka Otonashi || Yoshida Book Cafe || May 3 SUN[/h3]
Raising her gaze towards the blond teen from her stained skirt, Shizuka waved her free hand in a negative gesture to his apologetic offer for replacing her dress. [color=violet]"I-It's alright, there is no need to. I-I can easily replace the skirt area since I sewed this dress myself."[/color] While she soaked the tissues onto the excess, dripping coffee to prevent further damage, she directed her arm towards the counter with the sink. [color=violet]"Um... It might just be a bit of a singe, but please help yourself to the sink ahead. O-Oh, of course, I'll inspect it in a more [i]private[/i] setting later, perhaps a nearby bathroom."[/color] Slightly embarrassed from the other's equally flustered suggestion, the female student quickly turned her gaze back to cleaning up her own mess.

Before too long, Alexei, Toma and a girl she knew not of, [s]who Shizuka felt would have looked great cosplaying as a male[/s] approached with objects to offer help to the raven haired girl. A talcum powder, towel and bucket filled with water, and a jacket. Bowing and thanking each one with a grateful, [color=violet]"T-Thank you for your kindness!"[/color], Shizuka cleaned up the coffee stain on her dress as much as she could with the towel and water from bucket, covering the affected area with the talcum powder, and tying the jacket around her waist to hide the light stain. Dealing with her possible burn on her thighs can be done later, maybe buying an ointment to help with burns at the pharmacy later was a good idea.

After the clean up of the mess, Shizuka started to tear a little at how generous these strangers were, rubbing her hand at her hidden eyes. It might be the second time that Alexei may have given her assistance but the other two were total strangers, one of whom even offered her own jacket to hide the stain. Sato might have caused the little accident but he seemed genuinely concerned and apologetic, in contrast to the indifferent girls back at the Golden Week sale. She might have been a little too emotional but her feeling of appreciation was there as she turned herself towards the individuals who showed her kindness. [color=violet]"I-I'm truly grateful for what you've done for me, I-I hope to return them in kind if I may."[/color]

The teen wasn't sure how she could do so, maybe pay for their bill or book purchase? Whatever it may be, it was up to them if they wanted to take up on her offer while Shizuka waited, beaming a gentle smile.
