Shizuka smiled gently as the mother and child were reunited.  Shizuka was still slightly out of breath from all the walking around and the anxious adrenaline of looking for a lost child; she wasn't a very athletic person.  Turning to Zac and bowing, she said, [color=a187be]"Th-thank you for finding the boy and leading him here.  His mother and her friend were so worried."[/color]  Shizuka recognized that she had done little to help; in such a situation, finding the parent was the easy part.  The man in front of her looked like a dependable and reliable sort; the child must have felt safe with him.

"Is that what young people are into these days?" came the voice of an older gentleman who wasn't exactly keeping his thoughts to himself.

"It's a bit shameless, but what can you do?" replied the old man's companion, probably his wife.

Shizuka turned to look at the source of the talking, seeing an elderly couple a small ways away, looking at her and shaking their heads in dismay.  It suddenly dawned on Shizuka that she had been running around the park in a maid outfit.  While she didn't think it was a cause for shame, it was a little embarrassing to be out like this in such an open and public space, and the old couples voices only drew more attention from the park-goers to herself.  Shizuka blushed and shrank in on herself; she wasn't usually this easily embarrassed, but then again, she had never ran out of the Shining Kettle in her work uniform.

[color=a187be]"I-I...I need to get back to work..."[/color] Shizuka said, bowing one last time to Zac.  Turning around, she started walking a bit fast back to the coffee shop, trying to ignore the multitude of eyes.
