"Sneaky," said Hotaru's voice from behind her, and then Alys was being cheerfully hip-checked out of the way. Hotaru didn't really seem to mind Alys's attempt to pay, though, even sounding like she approved. Alys frowned at the other woman, entirely perplexed. She couldn't decide if Hotaru was infuriating or wonderful (although the answer was probably both), and it bothered her that she couldn't put her new friend into a box like she could with everyone else. Still, she couldn't help a snort of laughter as Hotaru described the experience as torture. "I'll pay you back one day," she promised - or was it a teasing threat?
Shopping concluded, Alys followed Hotaru to the spot she'd picked out, and once they had been seated, she regarded the other woman carefully. Now it was her turn to be in charge. "So, about your reading," she said. "Is there anything in particular you need advice on? Some people want career advice, or relationship advice. Some people have a specific question. But some people just want a general reading of where they are in life and where they're going." She reached into her pocket to finger one of her three decks, wondering which Hotaru would choose for herself when given the option.
