[✎__ Kaori and her friend, Saki, were having their first outing as friends today. They went to a big mall to look at clothes, going to several to pick out some things they liked. Often times, they'd call each other cute every time they tried something on, but they couldn't decide on anything in the end, so they didn't have any bags present in their hands. Instead, they decided to go get a drink since they had a snack before they came here.
The food court that they went to had lots of restaurants; it stretched from burgers to escargot. Kaori didn't mind what they'd have to eat, so she let Saki decide the restaurant--which turned out to be an Italian restaurant that mainly served pasta--and told her that she would like some Alfredo. The smaller girl gave Kaori a nod and went off to get their food.
In the meantime, Kaori found a couple of seats at the big counter that had stools as chairs. What caught her attention was a high-class looking man eating what the aristocracy would call commoner's food. Unconsciously, she approached the man and claimed the two vacant seats next to him--with one spot separating them. She glanced from the side several times out of curiosity and interest.
