Yixuan knew she wasn't the most socially adept individual on Earth, much preferring her own company than that of a stranger, whenever she got the choice.
Yet, in observing the proxy in both conversation and while in secret, she's come to recognize this sort of pull that they had as a person, one that she didn't quite understand the cause of.
Whatever the case, it made her look forward to their "training sessions" that much more. She even found herself more interested in seeing the proxy than their training itself.

The handle to the door of Random Play felt cold; colder than it should be, given the temperature outside. The common denominator here was Yixuan, the only explanation being her heightened body heat, this, no doubt caused by her increased anxiousness in meeting with the proxy.
The difference in this meeting, however, was that Yixuan wasn't here for business. It wasn't a kick in the ass, nor a fire lit under her by the mayor. No, she was here to visit, as odd as that was.
She hadn't felt compelled to meet with anyone before out of her own volition before, instead waiting for it to just happen on its own. To let the universe flow as it may, so to speak. But something about them made her impatient.

Her gazes scans around the store, before landing on one of the twins behind the counter, minding their own. After a second their eyes met, and the proxy seemed as confused as to why Yixuan was there as she was herself. Regardless, she stepped forward as confident as ever, her face of indifference masking the subtle curiosity bubbling inside.
"Good morning, Proxy." Yixuan greeted with a lax expression, her hand going to her hip, her fingers idly caressing the strap that was fastened there.
