--Ah... that definitely turned out just right...!

[Honami smiles as she brings out the pie tin from her oven. She couldn't help indulging herself in the aroma; the best part of making these was always seeing the end result, especially with this latest one she's made. Most striking was the touch of decorating she did to the surface of the pie -- she'd managed to cut out a nice bunny shape that she liked, along with several pellets that resemble typical bunny food. For a while she didn't think it would work out, but seeing it now, she had a lot of hope for this getting them by surprise.

...there was just the matter of her concern. Had she given enough time for them to relax and actually unwind from everything that happened? They were already six days into the month, and she didn't want to bother them if she could help it. On the other hand, she hadn't visited for the week yet, so they might get worried for her...

...at the end of the day, Honami just doesn't want to neglect her work as Kanade's caretaker, nor does she want to neglect her as a friend. So for right now--

She whispers a soft prayer into the wind. Packs everything up; calls for Shishiba.]


...okay. Let's go.

[...of course, it was going to be a longer trip than average, since they lived fairly far apart this time. Honami didn't mind, though; if she found anything on the way there that could be of interest, she could buy it. What mattered more was that they were still within relative reach of each other. That she could still help.

With thoughts of their well-being in her heart, she knocks, a little more energetically this time. Shishiba happily paws at the door for good measure.]


Yoisaki-san? Asahina-senpai? It's me!

[It might be a little overbearing, for Kanade to worry as she does. Honami's far more capable than she is in every aspect, and things have been... calm, ever since they stepped off the train. They'd even texted just a couple of days ago, when Kanade told her about the change in her relationship with Mafuyu. Everything should be great!

... She's just. Jittery, now. She doesn't expect anything bad to happen, but there are plenty of other mundane things to fret about; is Honami settling in on her own just fine? Was it difficult, to be uprooted again so soon after her arrival? Should Kanade have checked in on her, rather than vice versa? Ah, so many things buzzing in her head... but it all clears a bit when she hears a knock at the door.]


Ah, hold on. I can get that-

[She gets up from her spot on the couch, shuffling a few sheets of music off her lap and setting them to the side, before heading to the front door and opening it.]

Hello, Mochizuki-san. I hope it wasn't too much of a hassle finding us here.

Of course. Do you need any help?

[There's a brief look of concern in Kanade's expression; after all, she's extremely perceptive when it comes to her friends. It's not hard for her to notice the slight rings under Honami's eyes, and that certainly worries her. Honami's always so put-together, even when something's troubling her...

... Mmm. It must be everything that happened right before the time loop, huh? Of course it is. And some of it is almost certainly because of her-]


-Wah!

[But that spiraling train of self-hatred is cut off as the lion spirit darts forward. Kanade stumbles back, trying not to trip over him or her own hair. She doesn't seem afraid, just... startled. She even lets out a bit of a laugh, holding still so the spirit can do what he wants.]

So this is Shishiba? He's beautiful.

S-So this is your new spirit companion?
