For a few moments, Wriggle was silent. Yuuka wanted to go along with her, to keep people from freaking out? On one hand, well... Wriggle was  thankful! Really! Kazami Yuuka coming with her to make sure no-one panics when she just wants some beef... but on the other hand, going with Kazami would be a bit... well... awkward in some ways, wouldn't it... and on this inexplicably-present third hand, there was the fact that among some humans, Kazami Yuuka had something of a reputation. Well, not just something of one, a pretty major one. What if her presence made them act stupid even more then they already would?

And what was with that last comment? And that somewhat sinister look... Did Kazami want to share her meal? That meant that Wriggle would have to get extra... well, if it was for this reason, Wriggle was okay with that. She at least hoped that's what Kazmai meant. Sure, she didn't exactly have a lot of money, but affording a bit more beef wouldn't be too hard, right? At least, the firefly girl hoped it wouldn't be.

"Er, thanks, Kazami-san!" she managed to say, finally. Even with the potential negatives, rejecting Kazami's offer seemed... wrong and also a little scary. The flower youkai could get upset or something... "Um... I'll try and buy enough beef for both of us, then..."

With that, she continued on, still feeling a bit awkward and nervous, now. The human village wasn't too much further, Wriggle could see things clearing out.

Marisa cruised lower and lower, sinking through the air, towards the ground, as she attempted to locate Alice. Jeez, where was she? The short blond hugged her broom closely to avoid being hit in the face by a few branches as she went. She just wanted to hang out with her friend, spend some time with the dollcrafting youkai magician. But... aaah, had she gone on errands or something? Was she looking in the wrong place?

It was about them that some brunette girl seemed to appear from no-where, directly in the speeding witch's path. With little to no time to swerve, Marisa pulled her broom back, managing to slow down to a halt, leaving the girl to be blasted with a rush of air from her approach almost immediately.

"... Oiii," she asked, "Have you seen a blonde girl? Lotsa dolls?"

The short blonde girl didn't recognize the brunette, but hey, it was worth asking.
