[the snow has also snowed Keiwa out of a lot of his usual volunteer opportunities, either because they're normally outdoors or because things have been cancelled for the safety of the volunteers. Oddly thoughtful of them, but it leaves Keiwa with the day off and not much to do...

So he's settled for going grocery shopping instead (and he should probably look into getting presents for his sister, or at least as thanks to the Yugis for hiring him). Bundled up as best as he can be, his nose is buried under a somewhat thin muffler and his hands tucked into his coat pockets to try and keep warm when he hears someone call out. Keiwa jumps a little before turning to look at the girl like the startled tanuki that he is]

Huh? [eloquent-] Oh. Um... There's a small one up ahead that's still opened, I think. Otherwise, we just spent the last couple of days clearing out Moon Bunny Market, so Camellia and a some of the other stores should still be opened.

[he started out speaking clearly, but trails off mumbling a little at the end as if he's unsure of his own suggestion. Truth was, he's wracking his brain for the names of these cafes and coming up a blank. You could probably see the gears frantically turning in his head...]

[ Her face lights up ]

Ah! Right! Moon Bunny Market does have a bunch! I didn't even think of that!

[ But the way he trails off does give her pause. ]

Thanks a bunch - sorry, I wasn't bothering you or anything, was I?

[i_peace]

Ah- No, sorry, you're fine. I just- [he shakes his head, gently waving his hands in front of him as if to emphasize the 'no' gesture]

I just moved here a couple of months ago, so I'm still trying to remember names of places around here. [he laughs a little] Usually, Nee-chan would be telling me about any place near by she was interested in going to, and I'd learn that way but...

[and he puts his hands back in his pockets, a little awkward]

It's a pretty big move. From there to here.

[chousaikou]

Ahhh, I see. I totally know how that feels - big moves are pretty tough.

[ She might know a little too well, honestly. ]

Say... in that case, why don't you join me for a while? Maybe I can help out in some way.

[i_peace]

I wouldn't want to impose... [he's not being coy about this either, he genuinely sounds like he feels bad that she's offering to help him after asking him for help.

But his polite refusal would probably work better if he didn't abruptly turn to sneeze. Keiwa's not nearly as bundled up as he probably should be, which is as good an indication as any that he wasn't fully prepared for how cold it got up here]

A-actually, something hot to drink might be a good idea.
