[Fiiine, contact him too, see if he has any better ideas...hmph.]
A venue huh, so taking her to the mall's out of the question?
[Just to answer her second question; he's aware of...a few things, nothing in depth. Plz don't tell him there's a farm, they may end up in the cow barn for hilarious not-funny birthday pranks.]
I'll go check our options now -- but what about you, Lady Satsuki? No preferences?
[It's not her birthday, no, but Satsuki-sama is important 24/7.]
If you'd like to go shopping together, you're welcome to ask her there yourself. Fraternization is your right now.
[She could have just awoken with a sense restored that she hadn't even been aware she was missing. That's how suddenly more-right things seem. It's difficult not to leave them to their own devices regardless of consequence; even if they continuously fucked with one another, it would be as good as being home.]
There's the Ritz Carlton. I'm acquainted with the proprietors. We need a place where we might serve food and tea uninterrupted.
[He considers it for all of two seconds, and is readily hit with a terrible vision. On the one hand, he (apparently) owes her on top of this birthday celebration. On the other hand, he...hasn't mentally prepared for this.
Not to say he's prepared to back down either. He did contrive the idea himself. But hey -- subject change on deck!]
We can do that there, then. Sounds like a good place for drinks. Just gotta find someone to handle the music, now.
[Or find some decent records, at least. Tapes, CDs, whatever form her fancy music comes in best.]
Makoto Tachibana? [A new guy...nothing to fuss about, though, if she's so confident in him -- them.] Alright. You should just take it easy this time, Lady Satsuki. Finding a present for her should be enough of a pain.
[Not to confuse this with him underestimating HER abilities to multitask.]
That's what I would say, isn't it? Like old times.
[They're suppose to be working as equals now. Even if Satsuki requested their help to begin with, she's no intention of sitting idle on her hands.]
Well: I'll leave it to you, then. I'll keep her distracted. We'll devise a strategy for the day in question. [She's a tiny pink troll...not a military target.]
[Life is so hard for Uzu Sanageyama, even when he's a slice of life.]
If she doesn't like it, she'll take it out on me even if it's something anyone else did. If she figured out I had a hand in it, she'll dislike it automatically. There's no use crying over spilt milk; a cow that's pampered too much will give spoiled milk.
[She's had plenty of time to consider it from the other devas' perspective, what it must be like to emerge suddenly in a strange place surrounded by a year's worth of changes. It's not something she can understand so easily. But the four of them...they're supposed to be synchronized. The frown threads through her voice.]
That's the most self-pitying nonsense I've ever heard. Do you have some complaints about your treatment?
[YES?? PROBABLY, BY ACCIDENT? IT'S FINE. SHE HEARD NOTHING.]
I was just saying, you shouldn't get bent out of shape if she ends up hating it.
[WHICH DEFINITELY SHOULD HAVE BEEN THE CLEARER MESSAGE. The day he wants pity over Nonon's abuse is the day he...the day that never happens. They torment eachother on equal grounds, really.]
[IT'S GOOD SHE'S FOUND AN OUTLET...and that being said...]
You know you don't owe us anything, yeah?
[There's more to elaborate on, but he's not about to lecture her on something like this -- he'a actually not ambitious about lecturing her on anything, but hey. Someone's gotta say it...]
[Its just like being in third grade again. At least he's staying true to his character, despite how confusing life is, and how Gamagoori is totally stressing him out about not being able to use the car.

I'm contracting Gamagoori's aid as well. [She got there first, in predictable Satsuki fashion.] Consider it your assignment for reunion.
The venue will need preparation. Have you familiarized yourself with the businesses in this town?

no subject
Only one task at a time? How unlike you.
Work with Gamagoori and Makoto Tachibana. You'll make a formidable triad; no stone will remain unturned.
[Pause.]
And me. Anything that you need.
no subject
[Subject matter notwithstanding.]
Makoto Tachibana? [A new guy...nothing to fuss about, though, if she's so confident in him -- them.] Alright. You should just take it easy this time, Lady Satsuki. Finding a present for her should be enough of a pain.
[Not to confuse this with him underestimating HER abilities to multitask.]
But if it gets real bad, we'll warn you anyway.

I trust you won't let things get too dire.
no subject
If this place's boring you so much already, I won't interfere with that.
[Plz Uzu you have enough on your plate.]
'Course not, it'll be fine. Worst that can happen's that she won't like it, right?
no subject
It isn't boredom, even if a year inside these gates has tried to drag them down to normal. But people like them need the excitement.]
And who's to blame, if that's the case?
[There goes Satsuki, ready to take any weight on her shoulders without question.]

I see. I'll keep it in mind.
I never entertained the thought before. I never entertained the possibility of failure.
[Well, old habits die hard. Or not at all; it's unlikely that she'll ever lose all of that bravado.]
no subject
[ALMOST makes him wish there were things to celebrate more often...almost. Maybe then he'd almost be as good as Satsuki.]
no subject
[Partially true. Something in Satsuki appreciates the quiet, but...She's missed the thrill of the leadership, the satisfaction of a well-done plan.]
I've missed so many of these occasions, and kept others from happening. This is our chance.

So I've heard.
Don't worry. It isn't a debt.
[Well, it certainly shouldn't be. But until they part ways again, Satsuki will take responsibility for the deficit.]
no subject
So we're all on the same page? Good time to get the show on the road.
no subject
Enthusiastic as always. [Always chomping at the bit, active for the charge and taking it easy well before the denouement.]
I've bought some things already. I'll bring them: I'll meet you all at the location to debrief you.
no subject
99 problems but Nonon's comes first. In time.]
Right. I'll bring some tape just in case.
