[cuteshit]

[He blinks again. And?]

Yeah. I was a kid yesterday, too. I'm a kid every day?

[But you, Naoto...]

Your hair definitely got longer, though. How'd you do that?

[fortune_detective]

I don't know how it happened! Bu- but, I mean... [She shakes her head. This was all too confusing for her at the moment.] What did you mean yesterday, too? Neither of us looked this way yesterday.

[She turns her attention back down to herself.]

Is- is this some kind of prank or something?

[cuteshit]

No way, pranks are mean. I'd never pull a prank on you.

[Pranks are for jerks. Kanji frowns, rubbing at his nose with the back of his hand before pushing his glasses upwards.]

Are you sure you're feelin' alright? Maybe your memory's acting funny. Does your head feel fuzzy?

[fortune_detective]

[Naoto's still not entirely convinced that this isn't some kind of weird, elaborate prank of some sort; however, she's at least certain that Kanji is not the culprit. Not that she would have deeply suspected him in the first place. At his question though, she does reach a hand up and hold her head, pushing her hair back over her ear.]

I don't know about fuzzy, but it's certainly throbbing at the moment.

[All of the confusion and mild hysteria now catching up with her a little in the form of a dull headache.]

[cuteshit]

Do you want some tea or somethin'? I can make it for you, I can reach all the stuff now.

[With the help of a kitchen chair, maybe.]

[fortune_detective]

[She chuckles nervously, closing her eyes and still holding a hand to her head.]

Some tea might help, yes.

[Something to calm her nerves right now sounded perfect. But wait, had he said "reach stuff now?" She opens an eye to look at him.]

You sure you won't want some help?

[cuteshit]

I can do it!

[He cheerfully beckons for her to follow him, prepared to march his way down to the kitchen.]

But you can come with me anyway. I'll let you help if you really want.

[fortune_detective]

Ah, ha... okay... I'll be down in a minute.

[First, she really wants a change of clothes. Wait, would anything of her's actually fit her right now?! Well, she'll certainly wait until Kanji's out of the room before she checks.]

[cuteshit]

'Kay!

[He doesn't seem at all bothered by her hesitance, leaving her room without needing to be nudged further-- though if she's listening, she'll hear him quickly thump his way down the stairs a few moments later.

Kanji might be smaller than she's used to, but he's still loud.]

[fortune_detective]

[She does wait until she hears the thumps of his footsteps going down the stairs before she gets up and walks over to her closet to see what she could possibly wear. As far as she knew, she just had the outfit she'd arrived in, a yukata that had been given to her for the Tanabata Festival, and these pajama's. Maybe, somehow there'd be another outfit already in the closet that might fit her?]

[And as it turns out, that does appear to be the case! A short time later, Naoto appears downstairs in a white button-up shirt, light blue tie, and beige pants. She holds a jacket over one arm as she adjusts the tie slightly. She had wanted to wear her favorite hat, too, but it no longer quite fit her with longer hair. So regrettably, she'll have to go without it for now.]

[She steps cautiously into the kitchen to see if Kanji's still there, and if perhaps any of the others were also awake and about.]

[cuteshit]

[By the time she appears downstairs, some of the cabinet doors have been flung open, and there's a chair that Kanji has pulled up to the counter to allow himself to stand on it and gain some height. Water is already on to boil, and he's pulled a cup down from the cupboard for her tea.]

You're probably hungry, too, huh?

[fortune_detective]

[Seeing how much effort he has to go through just to make her some tea, Naoto smiles kind and sympathetic as she walks into the kitchen.]

I can manage that part. Don't worry. You can focus on the tea.

[cuteshit]

Got it!

[It may seem like a lot of effort, but he's proud of himself nonetheless, smiling broadly as he sets the cup down and waits patiently for the water.]

You look like you feel a little better than you did upstairs. You scared me when you yelled like that.

[fortune_detective]

[Naoto didn't necessarily feel that much better, but her nerves had calmed at the very least. Still, she smiles politely at Kanji, though it might come off as a little nervous.]

A bit, yes. And I apologize for the yelling. Waking up this way was just rather... startling...
