[MIXER AQ] Sea Animals [Wakana/Yasuko.K]

[Wakana]

"When I was little, yes," Wakana replied fiddling with the fabric of her shirt. "but my dad's stateside. My grandparents aren't military, so they live in town." The subject was a bit of a sore spot for her mom's parents, but even more so for her father's who seemed to think Wakana had no reason to consider herself Japanese. America was foreign; Japan was home. "Ah! A sandwich sounds pretty good!" She squinted, pretending to not notice how rushed her change of topic sounded. "...too bad it's not as filling." With a pretend pout Wakana followed after Yasuko into the cafe.

She flashed the waitress a sunny smile, following her to their table quietly. The menus were cute and, taking a quick glance, she couldn't find anything that immediately stood out to her. "I think we need some time to look," she paused, glancing over at her friend?? to confirm her statement. "but if you have coffee, a cup would be nice to start."

[Yasuko Kobayashi]

Yasuko simply nodded, with her hand on her chin as Wakana talked. "I see," she said with an interested tone, nodding once more. "That's really interesting though," she said, a little sparkle in her eyes. "I guess it means you have seen a lot of things then?" she asked, curious. "I mean - you got to experience life on a military base, and also life out in town."

The first-year had only looked up at the waitress that walked to their table, but the moment Wakana looked back at her, Yasuko quickly glanced through the menu. She really saw food just as fuel for the day, so as long as it tasted decent, that was all she cared about but since Wakana herself wanted to take a further look, Yasuko didn't want to order first either. Still she couldn't help the slight tilt of the head in curiosity when Wakana ordered coffee. "Just water for me please," she said. "Warm," she quickly tagged on.

"Alright! So coffee for you and water for you?" was the waitress's question and once she got confirmation, she soon left back towards the kitchen. The moment she left however, the first-year soon leaned in and began to whisper. "Coffee?" she asked, as if waiting for her to explain. She wasn't used to the whole idea of coffee in the morning, but she had heard it was just things that 'adults' do. "Is it something you usually ask for in the morning on a weekend?" she continued, a slight smile on her lips as if she was pulling a bit of a joke.
