Elsa-san? It's Tachibana.
I'm making a new type of curry today and I wondered if you wanted to come have dinner with me!

( attached are... directions to Izumi's flat. and a picture of a brightly coloured curry bubbling away in a pot. )

[Oh, that looked delicious.]

I would love to! Do you want me to bring anything? I can stop by the store on the way.

( hmmm... oh, she's got it! )

Whatever you like to drink is good.

( she has various juices, coffees and teas, but if Elsa prefers to have alcohol, they might need a bottle or two. )

[~~next up in Sakyo's breakdown: girls get drunk together...~~]

Alright. I'll be there soon, then.

[Elsa does make a quick stop at the store, but the drinks she picked up are just non-alcoholic drinks. She's taken a liking to a mango ice tea which she hopes works with curry. If not, it would be good for after dinner? That's the logic she goes by.

But she rings the doorbell once she makes it to Izumi's apartment.]

( the guinea pigs are safely stored in their cage before Elsa comes, loaded up with food and drink to appease their displeasure at having their free roaming disrupted by a visit, and when the doorbell rings, Izumi has managed to put on a nice pair of jeans and a blouse and untie her hair safe in the knowledge that she's set the table and put the curry centre stage already. )

Hi! Come in. ( she gladly steps back and allows Elsa space to come in and take off her shoes, several spare pairs of sliders sat out for guests (she gets people coming and going quite a bit, after all). ) Shall I take the drinks?

( the flat itself is small, definitely designed for one person and no more, with a little balcony at the corner of the living-dining space. and, what Elsa might notice is that none of the lights are on, instead Izumi has used light magic to illuminate her space, offering a soft, warm glow to everything. )

[Elsa on the other hand just has a comfortable dress. She's the kinda girl that likes wearing dresses, after all. She hands the bag with her drinks to her before changing her shoes into sliders.]

It smells amazing here... and the space is very pretty as well.

( dresses are nice! Izumi does like them too, but she's most comfortable in jeans. besides, there's no way she'd look as pretty as Elsa does in them. )

Thank you! ( she really likes the place, though recent months are making her wonder if she might need a guest room. so maybe she'll find a bigger place sometime. but she comes back with two glasses of mango iced tea poured, handing one to Elsa with a smile. )

Do you want to meet my guinea pigs? ( Izumi gestures to the cage in the corner of the living room. they're still kinda huffy at her, but the food is helping. )

This is Cream Puff— ( she points to a tricolour guinea pig currently munching on a carrot. ) —and that's Sakyo-chan! ( the blond guinea pig sniffing at a mixture of kale and spinach leaves certainly does have the same hair colour as Kaika's accountant-yakuza-actor. )

[Oh, the guinea pigs are adorable. Elsa smiles, looking at them while taking a sip of the mango ice tea. Then he looks curious, tilting her head.]

... why does that name sound familiar?

[She's still memorizing everyone in Kaika.]

( oh, of course. Elsa-san probably hasn't got all the names to faces, so Izumi whips out her phone. she definitely has a photo or two of Sakyo in there. )

They have the same hair colour so I called him Sakyo-chan until I found something better, but...

( it stuck. )

Ah. It's him. You're right though, his hair color is definitely similar... and it's a cute name.

[She seems amused.]

( that gets a smile. )

It is. But... Maybe don't tell Sakyo-san that.

( she's pretty sure yakuza don't want to be called cute.

BUT ANYWAY. )

Shall we eat?
