Who: Natsuru Senou and Naoto Shirogane
When: August 3rd
Where: A certain sweets shop on the Near Shore
What: A chance second meeting at their proper ages

[It's the middle of summer, and business seems to be going well at the shop thanks to all the new frozen treats they've been selling! Of course, this means Natsuru is kept a little busier than usual, and the heat can be a little difficult. The bulk of her job is still standing outside and greeting potential customers, offering small samples of the latest and most popular items. She's actually grateful for the skimpiness of her costume lately... at least she keeps somewhat cool. Really, after a few months of this, she hardly gets embarrassed over it anymore either.

Being a shinki, it's a bit challenging having a job like this on the Near Shore. People still sometimes walk right past her or glance over her as if she's part of the scenery. This just means she's had to get better at grabbing people's attention, which should serve her well with her idol training under Hibiki's agency! That, and the confidence building she's been working on in general. She's kind of proud of the fact that she's able to come out and do this job regularly without getting too nervous or awkward over it anymore.

At her best, she's a bundle of perky energy, at least outwardly, when she attempts to get a passerby's attention. Like now, when a certain other, much more petite, blue-haired girl walks by. Someone she doesn't recognize yet, but give her a moment... she's still in work mode.]

Hello! Would you like to try one of our new summer treats? We have shaved ice and mochi samples, in our most popular flavors!

[By now, Naoto's gotten used enough to Near Shore residents being more or less non-perceptive to her presence as they walk by, and so, naturally, it's bit jarring to all of a sudden be addressed by someone when you're utterly not expecting to be. Naoto blinks up at the young lady in surprise, but she recovers quickly enough with a polite smile.]

Ah, my apologies. You caught me while my head was in the clouds.

[She looks over at the building they're standing outside of, only now fully realizing that it was, in fact, a sweets shop. She hadn't exactly planned on purchasing anything for herself today, just some groceries for the house. However, perhaps it'd be nice to surprise Nanako with a treat? Maybe something also for Kanji? But also, she should get something as a thank you to Souji and Homura. And then, it wouldn't really be fair for her to not get something for Kagari would it? She turns her attention back to the blue-haired promotional girl, who now was striking her as somehow vaguely familiar.]

You wouldn't happen to offer any sort of bundle items would you? Maybe a sweets basket of some kind?
