As Akira walked away he heard what Tomomi called out to him, he stopped for a moment as he shook his head and rolled his eyes before continuing on to his destination.  The rest of the way to Aiya he avoided the locals not wanting to get dragged into idle chit-chat and gossip.  The way people would stop and chat about complete irrelevance was beyond his comprehension and he'd rather have no part of it.  Once he reached Aiya he stopped for a moment to savour the smells barely escaping the building, a small smile on his lips as he pushed open the door and walked inside.

It would appear most students had better things to do as Akira was able to nab himself a stool at the counter surprisingly secluded from other patrons.  He gently swayed himself from left to right as he waited patiently for his chance to order for which he just casually replied [color=ed1c24]"The usual, please."[/color]  Akira had frequented the restaurant on numerous occasions whilst living in Inaba, it was probably his most favourite location, when it was quiet at least.  Though the usual would typically be referring to whatever the daily special was, he craved the opportunity to attempt the rainy day challenge once more, and eating the daily specials could be considered consumption training.  With nothing better to do Akira resorted to tapping his fingers on the ledge of the counter as he observed what the other patrons had chosen for their meals, making mental of notes of 'maybe I should try that sometime' on anything that seem partially appetising.
