	"Lead the way." Masa replied, following in behind the girl without so much as a second thought. As they continued their venture, Masa took a moment to remove his phone, opening it to the same message he had left not even a few moments before.

	[i]Hey. Been busy?[/i], he briskly typed in, pausing a moment before sending it on it's way. All the while, his face bore an smile -an odd occurance for the stoic faced youth- but it seemed not to bother him in the slightest. Instead, he actually made an effort to converse with the raven haired girl as they continued. Once at their destination, Masa made it a point to gaze about, taking in the venue's appearance before entering shortly behind her. Sure enough, you could smell the coffee the moment you stepped through the door, which was all that Masa needed. Secretly, coffee had been an addiction of his for some time now. What else was going to keep you alive after a full day of school and working on the side?

	As he noticed Shizuka reaching for her wallet, Masa reached a hand out and shook his head, "[color=0072bc]Whatever you want, it's on me. I owe you for introducing me to this place.[/color]" With that, he walked up to the counter and briefly looked over the venue's offerings. It didn't take him long to come to his decision, ordering a double-shot expresso as he motioned back to Shizuka, "[color=0072bc]Plus whatever she'll have.[/color]" It was then Masa turned his gaze to Shizuka, a small grin with an expectant look shot in her direction.
