Dr. Haruno is in!

"Ah, here you go!"  The petite girl smiled as she knelt down and held out a hand to feed a couple of stray tabby cats, who took the cat food gratefully.  She watched fondly as they ate, making the funniest expressions and noises.  They were all just adorable, and as much as she’d like to take as much of them home, under her care, all she could afford was a couple of cans of cat food from the Mini Mart and her unlimited affections.

"Looks like you guys haven’t caused any trouble while I wasn’t around, have you?"

In truth, Ayano had stopped by Holly Park a little earlier than she usually did and carried an extra ration of cat food mostly out of excitement.  Unlike her obligations, specifically (and only, rather) for school, which she sometimes forgot until the day or hour before they had to be done, she had remembered her conversation with a friend she had become acquainted with the other day with clarity.  The arrangement was that they’d meet up at one o’clock by the bell tower, and although there were still five, ten minutes until the agreed time, Ayano found herself feeding some of the cats that recognized her already.

'Would she mind… ?'  Though she didn’t know Sakura well enough to figure out the answer, she still felt somewhat guilty, and stood up from her crouching position.  Adjusting her scarf, which she had always insisted on wearing despite the temperature, she scanned the crowd that had begun to assemble before her.

In a bag she had slung over her shoulder, Sakura brought a few small packs of cat food along. She didn't know how many cats there were and how much Ayano brought, but she definitely didn't want to show up empty-handed.

Beyond the crowd that Sakura was pushing through, she saw Ayano, surrounded by a big group of cats. With a smile, she waved back and walked towards her new friend.

"Ayano-san!"

Sakura arrived by the girl's side, smiling brightly.

Natsume was basically drown by her thoughts that her feet had taken her to Holly Park. She didn’t notice someone was running towards her. With that they had crashed into each other. The girl felt like she had hit a person followed by an apology. When she looked up, she saw a pink haired girl. She looked really toned. Also what caught her attention was how her muscles seemed to make this girl in front of her look feminine as well. Natsume didn’t really work out; well maybe she did from time to time but what kept her in shape was what she had chosen to eat. 

The kids laughter had been in the park as well. She didn’t know some of them woke up early or maybe this city itself woke up early. Looking back at the girl, “Oh, no I think I was at fault. Sorta in deep thought. Sorry. I should of seen where I was going. I’m fine! No worries!”

Sakura was glad that the other girl was unharmed. Stumbling into someone so early in the morning wasn't really something she needed, but if she would have injured the brunette - well, that would have been way worse.

"I'm glad you're okay. I hope I'm not holding you up, I'm just really sorry."

The kunoichi felt that it was her fault and anyway, she was a medic-nin and used to taking care of others, so obviously, she would be concerned. Not to mention that Sakura wasn't a lightly build person, with her muscles and admirable strength, so her running into someone might not feel very nice.

    “Just for a few days straight.” Okay, so maybe having a girl as a roommate isn’t that bad. Maybe they can be friends or something. As long as it isn’t making him uncomfortable. 

    There’s probably some weird stuff going on at the moment in the city, he should be out and wonder why are those cats there but staying in his assigned condo for a while is a good thing. 

"Oh well, then we're both new here."

Sakura smiled at Hiccup, she'd thought he had been here a while longer, but it wasn't bad that they were both knew, they could check the city out together, if he wanted to.

    And as usual, he was busy debating to see if he can ask a few locals if there any black smith shops around. He has no problems with socializing people. It just happens that he isn’t used to have room mates as a girl.

Hiccup is a brown haired young man and looks friendly enough - Sakura is glad that she had such good luck in getting Hiccup as her room-mate. The moving company already brought most of her stuff into her room, so all Sakura still has is in the bag that's slung over her shoulder. 

❝ Get your ass out of my room. Now. ❞

"Hmm, yeah… there are just some responsibilities that aren’t very eventful."

"Koi is wonderful! It’s like… some kind of fantasy world. I’ve been here for two, three years already and I still feel like I just moved in."

"It's really peaceful here, a quiet place."

"Missions?! I used to play ‘heroes’ with my siblings back home, but I bet what you did was tons more fun, ehe. I hope you like it here at Koi, though!"

"I'll be there."

"Some missions were fun, others were only jobs." And some ended with the death of a friend, though those were rare enough. Most often Sakura was able to prevent that though.

"They wouldn't be your friends if they didn't think you're reliable."
