Minako-san. It's Minato. May I speak with you somewhere private?

[redheadphones]

Yeah, sure! Where would you like me to meet you at?

And is everything ok? :(

[clinomaniac]

Anywhere is fine. As long as it's in person. I'm all right, there's just something to tell you.

Minako frowns at this. If he has to meet her in person, it must be dire.

Ok then. Meet me at the park. I'll be part of a secluded area.

ALSO! I'm also bringing a large yellow checkered blanket to sit on, so prepare for makeshift picnic and be on the look-out for it! X3

Checkered blanket. Got it.

She either senses nothing, or she does and she's being thoughtful. He'd go with the latter, personally. And he prepares himself for the conversation as he makes his way over. He'll bring a couple bottles of water since that's all he has on hand, but he didn't want to show up emptyhanded. That'll work.

He gets there as fast as he can, looking put together but like he only just ran his hand through his hair to 'comb' it. He doesn't even care.

"Minako-san."

[redheadphones]

Laying out the blanket, she's feeling like a bundle of nerves on the inside, circling back to his words and wondering what Minato has to say to her.

Putting the picnic basket full of sweetened pastries on top of the cloth, she then sat there waiting for him, until she saw his visible figure making his way to her. She gave out a cheerful smile, waving at him, acting as if nothing was bothering her.

"Hello Minato-kun~! Hi!" Even if she wasn't keeping face, he will always bring a true smile to her face, no matter what!

[clinomaniac]

She's cheerful. But Minato has accumulated enough people skills now to know, or maybe he's just banking on her being similar to him because of their similar positions. That's a smile she's wearing to keep herself standing, he thinks, much like the silence he fell back into.

When he sits, he's calm. He looks straight at her with an expression that's either gentle or blank.

"... I was just told by a mutual friend, yesterday. Ryoji... left."

[redheadphones]

"..........w-what?"

That's all she could produce when hearing his words. All the hype she was getting herself into, all the nerves she was bundling, all the hope she was expecting come about, it certainly wasn't this! THIS was not happening. She JUST talked to Ryoji-kun last week! THIS.CAN'T.BE!

And as her heart is pounding and she is simply staring at Minato, she tries desperately to say more...but her voice is lost. She can't think of anything but hurt and shock.
