It was a pretty nice day, all things considered. But that was kind of the nature of days off, wasn’t it? They always began on a positive note, and that fact was no different for Juni! It was sunny outside; the perfect stage for an outdoors food fair.
So, why was she here? It was a known fact to anyone that cared that Juni wasn’t a fan of walking through overly crowded areas, but she had been pretty much sent to this place in order to ‘have fun’ on her cousin/best friend’s stead. You might be asking yourself what was said person doing at the moment, and that would be a perfectly valid question! Sadly, a certain teenager had her first meeting with the person who’d become her manager in Japan, and that had robbed her of the opportunity of enjoying the event. Thus, Juni was here.
Nevermind the fact that she had been tasked to get her what amounted to a completely unhealthy amount of food!
Luckily (?) for the silver-haired girl, her cousin’s own limited funds would put the proverbial spanner in the works. Thus, Juni’s true task was to find something that’d sit well enough with Michi so she’d hopefully forget about the whole deal. Considering she hadn’t been in Japan for long, that gave the aqua-haired teen a good idea of what she wanted to bring back to the apartment.
Junko found herself carrying a small box that held fourty or so pieces of takoyaki; quite reminiscent of Osaka, wasn’t it? Even the slightest hint of merriment was present in her step! But, of course, things were bound to not be as easy. Some careless, mostly forgettable, four-eyed nerd had decided that looking where you walked was the most overrated thing ever. The result? Octopus balls were splattered all over the floor.
The teenager first stared at the guy, then at the ground where the ruined food was, then at her clothes that had been stained with sauce. Nothing had been splattered on her face, yet it progressively began to turn redder and redder, and that wasn’t due to embarrassment. At all.
Less than five seconds afterward, a very angry young woman was grabbing the offender by the collar of his shirt; if looks could kill, the guy would be dead on the floor already.
“You fuckin’ asshole! Could ya look where you’re goin’ for once in your life!?”
The tirade continued with a barrage of expletives that were probably better off unwritten. Least to say, Junko was very angry with the person who had ruined both her food and part of her clothes.

Food and fairs! What made for a better combination, really? It was so irresistible that even those that hadn't been in the area in ages had to visit! Which, of course, meant that Maia and Kuu were there! And, their newest partner in crime, Ela had even joined them! Not that she had anywhere else to be, anyways! It didn't seem like the smartest idea to wander the Digital World alone, and it was really weird to think about being with Maia's parents at home!
Perhaps it would have been better, if Ela had stayed at home, though! After getting distracted by a booth that sold cotton candy, the holosuited bunny realized that her friends were nowhere to be seen! Luckily, she'd been given money beforehand to use for a variety of treats, which definitely included a neon green cloud of pure sugar on a stick. But, now that she had it, where was she to go? Unlike a certain redhead spirit user, Maia wasn't going to buy a digimon a cell phone!
Surely it would be fine! They'd notice that the Terriermon was missing eventually! Hopefully!
At least for now, it seemed that she'd have a bit of a show to watch, while picking at her cotton candy. Some teal haired girl was just raging on a pretty uninteresting guy! And, luckily, Ela had turned around in time to watch the whole thing unfold! Was it rude to stare? Definitely. But science didn't care about being rude! So why should she?
Okay, maybe because science had less capability to think on its own, and Ela had more of a moral compass than science likely ever would.
Turning to the booth again, she took a moment to speak with the person behind the counter, taking something from him, and began her way toward the two. The 'girl' would soon reach over to tap the agitated party, while providing a warm smile. It wasn't like Ela actually had anything to worry about against run-of-the-mill humans of all things, right? What was the worst they could do to her?
Plus, it wasn't like Junko would probably want to hurt the newcomer to this party. Especially as her hand unfolded, to offer a damp rag. "Here. You might want to get your clothes clean before they stain."
Would that mean freedom for the dumb guy that had walked into the angry girl? Ela sure didn't know! But she did know that humans were very particular about their clothes! And that was probably one of the best opportunities she could offer the guy to let him escape!

The poor nerd withered under the verbal and completely tame physical abuse he was receiving at the moment. For how long could the teenager go off? If one judged by his assailant’s temperament, it seemed like it wouldn’t end any time soon.
Luckily for him, however, another person would have the courage to approach the conflict point and tap Junko. Nothing more and nothing less than a girl who looked to be —more or less— around her age.
Given that Juni’s disposition was less-than-friendly at the moment, some of the anger carried over as she turned and glared. “The fuck you wan-!?” Pause. Her hold on guy softened, enough for him to wiggle free and scurry away at near-lightspeed. In the meantime, she realized the intent of the newcomer, her expression softening pretty much instantly. “Oh.”
If the girl hadn’t been scared away by the initial aggressive display, Juni would take the rag and begin to wipe her clothes off. “Thanks dude.”
Sure, the result was far from perfect, but at least Junko didn’t look like a huge mess anymore. Being presentable-ish definitely improved her mood somewhat. It puzzled her why she had gotten help from somebody she didn’t know in the slightest, but at least for the time being, she wasn’t going to look at a gift horse in the mouth.
Which, in simple terms, meant that she definitely was doing it. “What are you doin’ in here, ’nyway? Doubt you were ’ere just t’see me manhandle that guy.”
It wasn’t like Juni had a lot to do at the moment. Her limited funds were mostly depleted and her hands were empty; raging to somebody who had helped her wouldn’t be the fairest thing to do.

The nice thing about humans, versus digimon, is that humans couldn't shoot laser beams from their eyes or launch rockets from their hands. As such? Most displays of aggression wouldn't be much of a deterrent to the Terriermon-in-disguise! Which was probably good for Junko, considering otherwise her clothes would almost definitely stain! Seeing the penny drop that Ela was going to help, rather than be another nuisance (for now, at least), was pretty satisfying though! Anger turned to, what would this be, gratitude?
The bunny was a scientist. Not a professional expression-reader!
Nor was she whatever a dude was! But, kept a polite smile all the same. She'd ask someone later what 'dude' meant. What if it was something really common to say, and asking this person would blow her cover? Because it would definitely prove she was a digimon, and not at all that she was some poor soul that just lived under a rock! So, instead, she'd just address the first part. "No problem!"
As for why she was here, though? The polite expression became a little more awkward. "Partially!" No shame in wanting to watch the show, right? Humans were funny! Maybe she shouldn't admit to it, though! "Also, because there's cotton candy over there," Ela added, while lifting the stick that held the remnants of her sugar-snack, and using it to gesture at the stand that it had come from. Definitely within view of the scene!
"And I lost my friends, so I don't really have anything better to do," the 'girl' added, a little sheepishly. But, that was fine! She'd surely find them sooner or later! More than likely, with Kuu causing a different type of scene elsewhere! "Are you gonna get more food? Since uh," she paused, to look at the ground, "I really don't think you should eat those!"

At least the newcomer seemed to be both kind and helpful enough, something that was quite perplexing for the blue-haired teen. Oh well; considering her current situation, it wasn’t like she was in the position to refuse any help she could get, especially when it came as keeping her clothes relatively clean. She guessed she’d have an appointment with the washing machine eventually.
An eyebrow was raised at the mention that the brunette was partially here to watch her beat the living daylights out of some guy who had stepped into the wrong person. Juni herself couldn’t help but to smirk a bit cockily at that. “Quite cheeky, aren’t we?”
Maybe Ela had used her science powers and figured out the way to get into the angry girl’s good graces. Or maybe that had been dumb luck. In any case! Juni stared for a bit, unsure on how could anyone manage to lose somebody at this time and age.
“Ya… got lost?” Yup, there was some disbelief there. The girl finished wiping herself off and offered the rag back to its owner. “Don’t ya have like, a phone or somethin’? Could just give ’em a call.”
Of course, Juni wasn’t as dumb as to believe this hadn’t been her peer’s first plan. It was sensible to assume that, for a reason that’d probably get explained to her relatively soon, it had failed. And that meant only one thing.
“Guess I could help ya find ’em if that’s what you wanna. Least I can do.”
Was this the beginning of a beautiful friendship? It was honestly hard to tell, but one could say that it had begun with the right foot to say the least.

Cheeky? Ela? Never! Okay, maybe just a little. Judging from the tight-lipped smile plastered on her face, she really couldn't deny it! But she wouldn't admit, either! Which was probably the best course of action with someone like this stranger! Whether that assumption came from actual intelligence, or just some sort of desire to remain alive, remained a mystery! Possibly even to the bunny-in-disguise!
"Phones are too expensive!" Was a matter-of-fact answer that Ela dropped the instant the question was posed. Was it rehearsed? Or, had she just heard Maia telling Kuu that so many times that it was an instant reaction? Phones were most definitely not cheap. Especially when a weasel that semi-frequently trapped himself in toilet bowls was involved. Ela couldn't really blame anyone for not trusting him with a cellular device. And, she was new to the group, so she wasn't about to ask for one, if Kuu didn't even stand a chance! "Otherwise, I'd be talking to them now!" And probably would have missed both the cotton candy and Juni's little show! It would have been utterly tragic!
But, despite initially appearing to be a bully, it looked like the teal haired girl had a friendly side! Or, she was worried about Ela getting hopelessly lost. The rabbit wasn't really sure which was the case. "That'd be great!" Clapping her hands together, the girl realized that just maybe she was a little too energetic about the idea of having help. "There are a lot of people here, so it's really hard to spot them." And with everyone talking, even her big bunny ears wouldn't have been useful in this situation!
Not that she could actually say anything about the bunny ears. It didn't take a genius to know not to assume that everyone knew about digimon. There was a reason for holosuits, after all!
First, though! The scientist had to make sure her priorities were straight! "Did you want to grab more food first, though?" Food was pretty important, after all!

This girl was definitely something, that much Juni could say. There was this vague feeling that kinda told her she was hiding something, but the teenager couldn’t quite place her fingers on what, or why. Nor she cared, all things considered.
“Wut.” That was the only reaction the newcomer would get from Juni. “Ya mean there’s peeps without phones n’wadays? That’s wild dude.” Juni wasn’t exactly member of an affluent family, and her phone wasn’t the last model or anything of the sort —she seldom used it, honestly— but in today’s world, those were kind of a necessity, weren’t they? At least when it came to an overbearing mother wanting to know about her daughter’s whereabouts.
Did that mean this girl’s family was extremely poor? Or maybe that she was of a very traditional upbringing? It honestly looked like neither, and Juni was getting tired of thinking about it, so she just decided to ignore the puzzling fact. In the end, the girl ended up shrugging before nodding towards her offer being accepted. “Sounds gud. How they look? ’N where were y’all ’fore ya got separated? That’d help methinks.”
Oh right. She had —maybe voluntarily so— omitted the fact that she wasn’t going to buy more food. Not because she didn’t want to, but… “Don’t got no more money over here dude. But if ya wanna buy some more ’fore we go searchin’ for yer friends, then sure. We can do that.”
It was a true pity, and part of the reason why she was manhandling that guy, sides dirtying her clothes. It sucked that she’d return home empty handed, but Michi would probably understand the circumstances under such a loss. And would probably be happy about that guy not getting hospitalized. Silver linings, right?

Was it really wild? Probably. Phones seemed pretty important these days. At least, in the human world. If phones had worked in the Digital World, Ela should have gotten one long ago. It probably would have saved her from being trapped under a lizard for god-knows-how-long! "Right? I need to get one someday!" Just in case there were any more lizards that wanted to trap her in a hole, you know?
But, unless she planned on lifting one from someone's pocket, Ela probably wouldn't be able to afford one any time soon!
Surely, Ela didn't seem to suit the part for someone without a phone. But, nobody seemed too interested in inquiring much! A blessing, really. The bunny could only craft so many excuses before it would get exhausting, after all. Instead, she could focus on legit facts! There was a pensive hum, while the holosuited digimon tapped her lip with her finger.
How did Kuu look, again? "A guy and a girl," important start, "both of them have blonde hair; the girl's hair is long, and the guy's hair is," Ela paused. There was a moment of mulling, before furthering the description, "kind of like what you'd expect from those edgy teenagers on tv." Sure, why not? The rabbit was a scientist, not a hairstylist! "He acts like a child, so we'll probably see him first." Truthfully, it was rarely hard to find Kuu. He was probably climbing one of the stalls somewhere! "I think Mai was wearing something blue." And, the description ended there. What was Kuu wearing? Probably a lot of food. For some reason, even when he was right in front of her in holosuit, Ela really only could see Kuu as a Kudamon! Which didn't lend much help in the clothing department.
"And we were," another pause, as the girl hummed and began pointing her finger vaguely across a wide area, "somewhere over there?" Science, not geography! Or, whatever one could call someone specializing in the layout of a food fair! "It's hard to keep track of places," the girl admitted after another second, with a somewhat defeated tone. Ah, well. She had tried.
As far as the food went? There was a pause, while Ela resisted scrunching her nose at the thought of buying some of the food. Takoyaki did not look appealing to her at all. Instead, she managed to look thoughtful again, before a smile popped onto her lips. "I think I'd like to!" She nodded, affirmatively, before preparing to make the request to get some of the takoyaki for herself, "I'm not sure how much I should get though -- what did you get? Before they died a tragic death, that is." Not that the number would change, dead takoyaki or not, but hey, she could at least find a way to keep the conversation interesting in its own way!

Juni just stopped and gave her companion a look. Man, it wasn’t frequent for her to be weirded out —even if slightly so— by somebody. It was almost as if the person in front of her wasn’t quite human.
Nah, that was a load of bullshit. “I think you’d save yerself issues like this one, y’know? And that’s comin’ from somebody who barely uses ’ers.”
All in all, the descriptions on who they were searching were detailed enough. “Two blondies, huh?” It came without saying that there was a small fact about that color that’d make their search a lot simpler. “Do they look like, y’know, locals? Or ferners?”
Blonde wasn’t really a thing that happened on most native Japanese, but it only took a small peek at Juni’s hair to know that was something easily fixed if it struck anyone’s fancy; especially if they were some edgy kids like Ela had so eloquently described.
“That works. Guess the gal’s name’s Mai. What’s the dude’s?” It was quite interesting that neither girl had exchanged names yet; quite the proof that the teal-haired teen wasn’t the brightest. Nevertheless, for somebody who had a penchant of getting irritated pretty easily, Juni was being —relatively— patient with the lost girl. “Alright. We can begin searchin’ whenever you wanna.”
Except it seemed like, at least for the time being, the girl suddenly wasn’t as worried about her status as a lost person. Oh well; Juni seemed pensive for a second before she began to speak again. “Takoyaki? Well, the average is ’bout seven to ten pieces per person. I bought like forty ’cuz I was gonna share ’em and wanted t’have some leftovers. ’Fore they died, ofc. Most o’ ’em were jus’ plain takos but they were advertisin’ some sausage ones that looked quite good, so I bought some o’ those too.”
In the end, that didn’t matter all that much since the food wasn’t edible anymore, sadly. “Watcha thinkin’ ’bout buying yerself?”
By now, it was a bit obvious that Juni’s companion was going to buy something. The question of ‘what?’ lingered in the air, however.

For a moment, Ela could only give a long look at Juni. "Know anywhere that gives away phones for free?" It was almost like having a phone was a luxury! Despite it also sort of being a necessity! And, it was almost like Ela was completely unemployed here, and couldn't be trusted with a human job even if she wanted to be!
Granted, it seemed that she'd get derailed from phones rather quickly, anyway. "Ferners?" Humans weren't ferns! That didn't make any sense! In what world did a human and a plant combine, to make such a thing logical? There was no way that a plant-person was real. She'd certainly never heard of one! Luckily, the 'girl' would be so lost in the piece of slang that she couldn't even think to question the difference between a tourist and a foreigner. That would totally blow her cover, after all! She'd be outed as a non-human and who knew what would happen from there! Or, something like that! More likely, she'd just be labelled weird.
Just like it was weird that they were establishing names for the duo that Ela was hunting, but not each others. It was fine, surely. Names were overrated. "Guy's named Kuu," she stated, matter-of-factly. And then, less matter-of-factly, she'd add, "probably short for something, but I dunno what it would be." Mysteries for another time. Or, never! Because Kuu was, in fact, Kuu's full name!
Every mission needed its detour though, and this one was no exception! Stepping up to the vendor, the teen tapped her finger to her lip, before flashing a smile. "I think that's what I wanna order." Ew. So much ew. They didn't even smell good to her! But, she did what she said! Forty takoyaki, with some sausage ones! Paying for the foods, the girls would have to wait for everything to be packed up, before Ela would be set with a box much like the one that Junko had lost just before.
Hopefully, the helpful stranger found it more endearing that someone wanted a similar order, instead of insulting! "They looked really good," she commented, a little sheepishly. Surely, the stranger would agree.
Once she had the container in her hands, held tightly to prevent a similar misfortune, the not-bunny would give a small hop. "Okay! Let's try to find them now!" Hopefully, it wouldn't take too long! How big could a food fair be, anyway?

It was genuinely hard to tell whether the lost girl was being serious or whether she was pretty good at joking around with a seemingly serious expression. Not like either case would change Junko’s response all that much. “Doubt ’nyone does or gives things for free. Unless they like ya a lot… and even then it’sa bit iffy. Never thought about earnin’ yer own?” Was it surprising that she recommended hard, honest work to earn something, considering the delinquent-ish front the girl presented? Hard to tell!
What wasn’t hard to tell was that the brunette had completely misunderstood the term ‘ferner’. Somehow, that probably meant she was one herself. “Dude, ferner. As in… not from Japan? I think the nasty way t’call them is gaijin ’r some crap like that. Not hard to tell ’em apart.”
Unless Ela was blind, telling Japanese people from… non-Japanese people was fairly simple. Especially if they looked how Juni herself thought they’d look. Either that, or some inordinate amounts of blonde hair dye were used.
Nonetheless, names were gotten, and while ‘Mai’ could be Japanese, Kuu definitely sounded fairly… exotic, for the lack of a better word; sure, it was probably a nickname for something, but Juni couldn’t for the life of her think about a name for that. “Guess that’s good enough. We can begin searchin’ for ’em as soon as yer done with yer stuff.”
Maybe it was a bit of empathy given the girl’s predicament, but the teenager was comparatively patient when it came to her peer buying her food. But not a lot; Juni already looked pretty bored when the brunette came back. “’Bout time, dude.” A small smirk was quick to follow. “They’re the real deal. I’m sure ya’ll like them. We can begin searchin’ ’em now, right?”
The smallest hint of a positive answer was everything Junko needed before briskly walking in a random direction and screaming at the top of her lungs. “Mai!!! Kuu!!! T’girl that ain’t tellin’ me ’er name is searching for y’all!!! Come pick ’er up already!!!”
Pretty loud, pretty unpleasant, and dubiously effective. But with any luck that'd work!

Earn her own? Could Ela even do that? It would likely prove impossible unless she made up some convincing proof that she was a real person that really was supposed to live in Japan, and totally not an entity of digital nature! Which, frankly, sounded like way too much effort for the time being! "I'm not allowed to work yet," the bunny answered, with plenty of honesty. She wasn't! Maybe someday! But, not right now! If pressed, Ela had a much less honest answer, but maybe Juni wouldn't ask too much!
Even though the colorful haired girl seemed fairly nosey! Not that Ela could blame her. She was a curious creature, too!
"Oh!" An understanding had clearly clicked! This understanding? Juni spoke stupid! "Foreigners! I got it!" Ela was going to have to learn to be a pro at understanding funny language eventually! Good place to start! "They are totally not from around here." One was from a totally different world! But, that detail definitely wasn't important. At all. Ever. Keep your trap shut, bunny.
Once little details were out of the way, the girl bought her mystery food, and was ready to begin! "It didn't take that long!" Or, did it? Ela was great at zoning out while waiting for results. It could have been three hours, and the Digimon would have assumed it was five minutes.
After giving a couple nods to both the girl's certainty of Ela liking the food and consenting to begin their hunt, little could have prepared Ela for the method which Juni planned to take.
Yelling.
Making the mistake of following way too close to the other girl, the holosuited rabbit instantly cringed at the shouting. Even with a holosuit concealing it, there were still giant bun-ears doing their job. And right now, their job really hated everything! There was an extremely short moment of debating if covering holosuit ears would do anything for her actual ears, before just deciding to suck it up. "I-I'm Ela?" Oh, confusion. So much confusion and loud noise! Should she have given Junko more fuel to scream with?
So many mistakes!
"How are you so loud?"
Hopefully, Ela wouldn't have to wait very long with the banshee! There would only be so much yelling that the poor girl could tolerate! But, it would be pretty unreasonable to ask for someone to use their "indoor-voice" when trying to help her hunt down people in a crowd!

Juni gave Ela a look that wasn’t quite kind; it was fairly judging, actually! How would somebody not be allowed to work? That sounded like some A-Grade bullshit, but it wasn’t like the teen cared all that much to solve that particular issue. “Sure thing, dude. Whatevs ya say.”
And that would’ve been doubly so if she had been able to read the unbelievably rude thoughts Ela was having. It wasn’t stupid! It’s K-A-N-S-A-I. Or at least, the author’s third-rate attempt at imitating it. “That’s ’xactly what I said. Ferners; good t’kno that they’re not from here, tho. Makes t’whole deal a lot easier.”
In hindsight, it was probably a good thing Junko didn’t care a whole lot about what her companion said or did. If she was showing any outward signs of displeasure or disapproval at how the searching was being ‘conducted’ those would be promptly ignored. How else was she supposed to search for two people amidst the crowd that comprised the food fair? Even if there was a better method to accomplish things, the thinker of the duo wasn’t suggesting it, so it was all good!
Not everything was debatably bad either. It had taken a lot of indirect —and not-so indirect— prodding, but Ela’s name had finally been revealed! Juni stopped her calls just to address that small comment. “Took ya long enough, dude. I was already doubtin’ ya had a name in t’first place.” She then gave her surroundings a glance. Were there any signs of ‘Mai’ or ‘Kuu’? At least a single blonde head peeking through the crowd? Didn’t seem like it, at least for the time being; oh well. Her gaze finally focused on the lost girl one more time, a bit of an unamused look on her face. “I’m not even bein’ that loud. No offense, but ya mite be a bit o’ a wuss. Wanna find yer friends, right? We just gotta get their attention, ’n the easiest way t’do that’s causin’ a ruckus, y’know? Jus’ as long as nobody asks us to leave t’place, it’ll work.”
Thus, another deep breath was taken. “Mai!!! Kuu!!! Ela’s searchin’ for y’all!!! Come ’n pick ’er up already!!!” Admittedly, that one was a bit more succinct, and admittedly more powerful than the last call. With any luck, it’d work! Or, maybe it’d have the opposite effect, and attract even more unwanted attention! At least at the moment, it was hard to tell.

If she'd wanted a name, she could have always asked properly! But, instead, she was just so sassy! Were all humans this sassy? Maia really wasn't, but she didn't really seem the chatty type to begin with. Maybe the correct question would be: Are all talkative humans like this?
"Nope, no name, no phone. Not a person, you know?" Funny, coming from the bunny that absolutely wasn't a person. Given, there were so many 'jokes' that the Terrier-in-disguise could make before her eardrums wanted to rupture!
"I can't help it! I have a hearing condition that makes stuff really loud!" Not a lie! They were called giant ears! "Normal talking is already super noisy!" Maybe, that was what she liked about Maia's lack of social needs. Even though it made less sense for her to wander fairs and casinos if things were truly that noisy!
This time, with a fair warning that the green haired girl was going to begin screaming again, Ela promptly poked her fingers into the holosuits ears and prayed that it would muffle the sound. And, for the most part? That seemed moderately successful!
Luckily, the yelling wouldn't have to persist too much longer. In the crowd, some movement could be spotted, with even more shouting. With the distance, it was likely impossible to hear what the male was shouting, but it was clearly approaching them! Which meant it was pretty obvious who was arriving to the scene.
"Ela!" the blond 'boy' shrieked, swerving around a stranger and leaping to hug onto his holosuited companion's shoulders. "We thought we lost you!"
"You did lose me."
"Yeah but, like, forever!" Dramatic as always. The blond who could surely only be known as Kuu soon released his grip on the girl, spinning to look at the source of the noise that had led him here. "You're so noisy! I could hear you from all the way over there!" With this, he gave a flailing gesture from the direction that he'd come from. Ah. Yes. Of course. Over there. "That's kinda great! I can yell real loud too. Do you want to have a shouting contest?"
Before anything could escalate too much, Ela felt the need to try to return to a more important topic, "where's Mai?"
But, it failed. There was a dismissing wave, and another broad flail in the direction he'd come from, "over there. She's comin'." And then, he'd need to return to his priorities. New person. Shiny person. Person who probably didn't have the temper to deal with this boy! "I'm Kuu! Who're you? Are you friends with Ela? Can we be friends, too?"

Ela was beginning to show a bit of an attitude, and while Juni was originally thankful of the help she had been given before, the girl would probably do well to not overstay her welcome, so to say. Maybe she needed a reminder.
In between her callings, she turned and stared at the girl pretty intensely. “Ya probably are misunderstanding this whole deal. Ya see.” She cracked her knuckles, both to let off some stress and as a slightly intimidatory gesture. “If I need any feedback or random trivia, I’ll ask. If I don’t, ya keep yer smartass comments to yerself ’n shut yer trap. Got it? We’ll get along jus’ fine if ya do.”
Least to say, Juni didn’t have a lot of patience for people who complained about being helped. Well, in all honesty, she didn’t really have a lot of patience for a lot of things. But that was a little detail, wasn’t it? “Ya sure yer friends didn’t leave ya behind cuz yer whiny or somethin’?”
Luckily, she wouldn’t need to call for Ela’s friends again, given that somebody had managed to hear her call and was approaching the duo. This one was… Kuu, right? Jeez; now Juni could guess why Ela had developed such a smartass attitude. This dude surely was something.
Not of the good kind, mind you. The teenager gazed at the newcomer with a less than enthused expression. “Thas t’point, y’know?” She responded, sighing right afterward. “I’ll pass. Ya knock yerself out if ya wanna, tho.” It was a good thing she didn’t want to make friends because… jeez, this guy was the type Junko wasn’t precisely great with. Overly noisy, and overly excitable.
It kinda reminded her of herself when she was a kid. “Name’s Junko. Don’t dare to shorten it. Pleased to meetya or somethin’.” Her gaze went straight to Ela after the half-hearted introduction. “Need anythin’ else? I’ll get my ass outta this place if thas it.”
She was already going through the motions of going back home. Pity she’d have to return empty handed, but it was what it was.
