Tiffany turned around and felt a smile grow. "Greetings, young adventuring detective. It pleases the Child of Void to see thy presence once more."

"What d'you mean young? We're the same age," Fumeko crossed her arms.

"…I can leave right now without saying goodbye-"

"W-w-wait!" Tiffany was quick to turn with a bubbled eye.

Fumeko smirked, "Too easy."

The blonde cleared her throat, "Apologies. So, tis true then? Thou wished to be with one as exalted as I on this fair day?" she laughed. "What about thy companions?"

"Well, they should be heading off soon enough once their business is done here. I'm staying behind. Wanna, hang out?" she shrugged indifferently.

"Unquestionably! Where does thou desire to hang?"

"Uh, I don't know," Fumeko's nose scrunched. "There's still places in the school, isn't there?"
