The two of them soon arrived at the coffee shop that Aderyn had wanted to go to, the walk having been spent in casual conversation. Foremost was current events around the school as well as the world, with Masae relating her experience with whomever had gnarled up the programming for the sound booth. As techies they could both understand the difficulty involved, and the stupid things that some people did had to be savored while the moment lasted. It was the small things that could light up ones day. 

She nodded to Aderyn gratefully as she stepped inside, following along the counter and sitting down. her gaze swept the coffee shop, taking it in and appreciating what she saw. She might not be an interior decorator, but this place was most certainly an easy sight on the eyes. It wasn't hard to tell why it was popular.

"I'll have some sparkling water," she said to the man working behind the counter for her order before turning to her roommate. Masae fell silent as Aderyn asked her about rejoining DGO, a topic that caused her to freeze for a moment. Deep Ground Online, the game that had defined so much of her life before moving to japan, and yet one that she had sworn off. Being killed at the first opportunity possible by about 98% of the remaining Sweeper population proved a strong incentive. And honestly, it felt like her life had been better since she had left, even if she knew that it meant swearing off any real advancement in society. Naturally, she hadn't actually told Aderyn any of this. 

Her fingers drummed on the counter as she waited for her drink, even as she flashed her roommate an apologetic smile. "Sorry, but with the festival going on I'm pretty busy. Besides, isn't there supposed to be a war going on in DGO or something? I wouldn't want to distract you with having to watch me while that's going on."
