"What sort of drink are you suggesting?"

[color=gold]"Hot cocoa,"[/color] Tomoko answered honestly.  [color=gold]"I brought three thermoses of the stuff in case I spent a long time out here tonight on homework, but I got it done a lot faster than I thought I would; I haven't even touched two of the thermoses yet.  I need to head back to where I was anyway, so just follow me if you'd like some."[/color]  Giving was a good thing to do sometimes.  Either it was the couple swigs of the hot drink she'd had before stumbling upon this scene or being able to generously help someone who was in a bit of a pinch, but whatever the source, Tomoko got to enjoy a warm feeling through her body.  And she managed to save a stray page of her homework from getting carried away on the wind too.  Bonus points.  If life was a game that could be tracked in points, Tomoko was confident of the score she'd built up tonight.

Turning and making her way back toward her little spot in the park, she looked over the area and did a mental checklist to ensure everything was still there.  Three green thermoses, two of which were full of hot cocoa and one half-full?  Check.  Cute frog backpack?  Check.  Textbooks?  All five of them, check.  The big tree she'd chosen to sit under was still there too, and of course, nobody had managed to steal the city or the night sky just yet.  Everything was just as she'd left it.  Perfect.

Tomoko sat back down in her spot and picked up the half-full thermos from among the trio, opened it up, and took a quick sip.  Coffee was too bitter for her, not that Tomoko was fond of bitter things to begin with, and this was a very delicious alternative to it.  Now then, she'd sit here for a bit and wait for her new acquaintances to show up, if they showed up.  That was their decision in the end.  Not Tomoko's.  For now, she'd unzip her backpack, put the almost-runaway sheet in it, and pull out her near-finished math homework.  Finishing would be easy.
