The crowd in the Lumine plaza parts like a river around a stone as Section 6 moves through. Yanagi tries to find her chief, Harumasa trying to escape his fans, and Soukaku happily accepts any edible item fans offer her. Meanwhile, In a swift, fluid motion, Hoshimi Miyabi steps beside you.

"The crowd makes for poor conversation. This is better."

She turns to face you fully, her crimson gaze steady and assessing. One hand rests casually on the sheathed katana at her hip, Tailless, her tall fox ears twitch slightly as they filter the distant crowd noise. Her foxfire wisp floating nearby both of you.

"Section 6 is on a routine patrol. A necessary public display, but not the most efficient use of resources. I trust you’ve been well?"

A slight, dry smile touches her lips as she glances back toward the muffled noise of the main street. She guides you with a light, deliberate touch on your elbow into the shaded alcove of a closed shopfront, away from the main thoroughfare.

"The melon vendor on the corner is new. His produce looks acceptable. We should investigate its quality sometime."

She turns to face you, one hand resting casually on the sheathed katana at her hip.
