“A date” she repeated, looking at him with his bed head, a soft laugh falling from her lips, “You just live close by so I thought I would come here for a rant while I still have childcare. I’ll make breakfast!” she grinned. She had been working the restaurant for a few months now and had found a close friend in Kou.

What a lovely day to just wander around in the world of the living. Spring had just started to gently tuck at the empty branches of any nearby trees, pulling out small buds of green that would later grow into full blown leaves and fill up the space above. Birds had slowly made their way back too, singing the songs of awakening nature as they flew by. The mission Yumichika had just recently been on was now almost forgotten as he made his way through the city, following the smell of spring wherever it took him. He had managed to catch a few off-days thanks to his efficiency with his work and decided to use it here, wondering around in his gigai down the shopping streets and small alleys. It was quite a nice change of pace to his usual routine. Especially since the world had changed so much since the time he… well, since he died.

A small change in the smell of the air caught the pretty man’s attention and he turned his head around, checking if he could locate the direction this smell had originated from. It was the smell of coffee and something food-related, but he couldn’t quite tell what exactly it was. So he decided to investigate when he spotted the most likely culprit across the street – seemed to be a diner of sorts. Whatever it was, the shinigami checked the street before quickly jogging across and making his way towards the door of the place. Yes, this was definitely the source of the smell.

“Thank you all for coming once again. I hope that you’ve enjoyed the first half of my set and you’ll remain to hear the second half.”

Her voice is loud as she speaks into the microphone, accent slightly dripping from each word. Her painted lips were curled into a bright smile as she bowed her head before heading to the bar where she sat beside a regular who normally sat alone which always grabbed her attention. Marina looked towards him, head tilted to the side curiously.

Well that was rude. She raised a brow at the cash, deciding for a moment if she was going to take it or not. She wasn’t a charity case despite going a little hungry at the end of the month but she was getting better with it, and she for sure wasn’t anyone’s run around. But, just for being rude, she figured she would buy herself a drink that she wouldn’t even consider usually. 

“If I got the chance to cliff dive I’d do it in a heartbeat” she muttered as she put the money in her pocket, “But suit yerself” she scoffed, her hands going behind her head. 

“I’m sorry, I wouldn’t ask but” she trailed off, shrugging as a way to finish off the sentence, if he wasn’t going to ask she wasn’t going to say. Instead she gave him a simply smile. Of course she knew it was late but, staying in her apartment right now was not something she wanted to do.
