Yep! Figured it'd all go pretty okay together. But why don't you do the honors of trying it out?
[ -- well, being the second person to try it out. Tenka thought it was okay enough and he wouldn't have his little brother drink something that he didn't enjoy himself.
But Sayo's the one who really liked persimmons in the first place.]

I see. [If he says that he's okay, that must be true, right?]
I am glad to hear that. I thought-
[She pauses again, wondering if it's something she should actually say.]
I worried that you were not. But I am glad to hear that you are doing okay.

You need not be sorry, Sayo. We are friends.
[And friends worried about each other, or at least that's what all her other friends have told her.]

[Veronica is looking around for a seat in the crowded lunch room, holding a tray that was very reminiscent of pretty much every lunch she's ever had: a selection of tiny bites of everything available so she could try it all. With a little tilt of her head, she catches sight of a very familiar tray of blue hair and makes her way over to stand by him with a bright smile.]
Sayo, hello. May I join you?
Sayo, hello. May I join you?
[ guess who's walking by the swordhaus and needs directions because Allen's just another lost child who needs to use the map on the Cerevice more often. Anyway! Here he is, knocking on the door of swordhaus. ]
Hello! I'm very sorry to have to disturb you, but I just have a few questions...! [ He pauses. ] I'm definitely not here to sell anything!
[ pauses. ]
And I promise I'm not suspicious! Er, I'm not planning on doing anything bad! I'm just lost...!
[ allen, stop. ]

[ allen, stop. ]
Oh...!
[ Allen says very intelligently as he looks down at Sayo, also recognizing the tiny tsukumogami. ]
Hello again! [ LITTLE BOY, though Allen sounds a little hesitant, as if half-expecting Sayo's parents to come out of the blue and yell at him. ] I... I'm not sure how, but I must have forgotten where I live here because I can't remember at all...
[ ALLEN, slowly becoming an amnesiac... ]
Is there like a lost and found here... for apartments? Or maybe someone in charge of the apartments I could speak to...?

[Veronica smiles at the lunchbox then at its owner as she sits down.]
How is school? What classes did you have? Are you having fun? What are you eating for lunch?

Soccer!
[She sounds so excited even though it's just about soccer. Her strong suit has never been Physical Education but she's delighted for him, for the fact that he had fun.]
That sounds wonderful. I am glad you had fun.
[A smile and then she looks down at his lunchbox as well.]
So it is a surprise, then? Who usually makes your lunch, Sayo?

[It's sweet to think that his brother makes his lunch and Veronica smiles down at him. What a cool, nice brother.]
That is very kind of him.
I just picked the things that I have not yet tried. [There are a few strands of tomato sauced spaghetti, a solitary meatball, half of a hotdog, something that involves cauliflower and a bunch of spoonfuls of salad.] I am quite curious as to what these taste like.

[So Naki and Sayo went out grocery shopping today. They bought everything they were supposed to - rice, vegetables, assorted snacks, the usual - and then started wandering farther and farther down into the depths of the shopping district.
What kind of shop is this even, it's definitely not selling food...there's odds and ends and knickknacks and gloves and chairs and electronics and--Naki picks up a funny-shaped thingamajig off a nearby shelf, turning it around in his hands.]
I wonder what this is supposed to be?

That he is. [She's talked to him before and okay, maybe she was a bit biased because Sayo cares about him so much and she had been determined to do the same but still.]
This one? Why?
[It looks innocuous enough and seems to be a cauliflower curry with potatoes.]
