Aiko was walking past the kitchen as Kai mentioned shopping or take out. Hearing that, she turned to look at him and said, "Better go shopping. We'd have to go sometime today, anyway, so we don't remain so reliant on take out." She started walking again, but then paused so she could add, "Oh, and I'd like to tag along to get familiar with the neighborhood. Just give me one second as I put my bag in my room, 'kay?" With that, she winked and gave him finger guns with one hand, the other still holding the heavy bag. She also waved towards Mai before trudging up the stairs and locating her room.
Finally, a room of her own. She dropped her bag on the floor as soon as she entered and sighed, relieved to be free of that weight. Even though it was currently empty, she admired her room. It had a window which had a nice view of the front yard and the street. The walls were a dull lavender, which Aiko found soothing. She couldn't wait until the furniture arrived so she could make the room look even prettier.
Not wanting to waste Kai's time, she opened her bag and dug around a bit before grabbing her purse and running back down the wooden stairs. She couldn't wait to explore the neighborhood, even if it was with Mister Perfect. Her plans were interrupted when Kazuo, who was walking up the stairs with his bag in his hand, and held out a hand to halt Aiko as she approached him. "What is it?" She inquired somewhat rudely, annoyed by how he stopped her when she was obviously in a rush.
He chuckled, asking, "Where are you going in such a rush, kid? A festival? A meeting? A date?" There was a gleam of amusement in his eyes.
"Yeah, a date with destiny," Aiko shot back, pushing past his hand and parading down the last few steps. Kazuo could be heard laughing at her cheesy response as he went up the rest of the stairs. Rolling her eyes, Aiko put her little crossbody purse around herself and began looking around for Kai.
