Brennan was standing at the sink, rinsing Umeko's cereal bowl and spoon while his gal was hurrying up her wardrobe. Truthfully, Brennan wouldn't have left without her; any mishap with the groceries would be rightly considered his fault if he did all the shopping solo, and there were parts for their probe design that Umeko would want to have input on. The time limit he had mockingly set was mainly just meant to motivate her after her quick wake up - the Japanese girl was as lazy and lethargic as they came in the mornings - but he enjoyed the thought of her panicking, trying to slap something together before he ducked out of the apartment without her. 

She was the best. One of the first words he'd taught her in English was [i]gullible,[/i] because he'd told her that it was good fortune. Believe it or not, she'd taken to pronouncing [i]gullible[/i] better than [i]Brennan[/i]. Although that was probably on purpose.

[color=0072bc]"Ye, ye, whatever,"[/color] Brennan demurred, making a show of reluctance about drawing his arm around the girl's shoulders and kissing the top of her head. [color=0072bc]"Make a list o'brands in yer own head. I see milk, I'm gunna buy me some fookin' milk, Musashino or no. I see chips, I ain't killin' meself over a fookin' name brand."[/color]

The two had moved into an apartment together in District 5 in time for their first year of university together, so many of the grocery stores here were more stocked than the convenience-oriented locales that catered to the junior and high school students of District 7. It made grocery shopping a sort of quaint affair, one that Brennan and Umeko had begun to often use as a way for some couples time. The streets were quieter than District 7's, too, so the two students enjoyed the temperate August weather arm in arm for a few minutes once they left their building and started the walk to the grocery store.

[color=0072bc]"Ooh ye. By the by,"[/color] Brennan said after a minute, his free hand touching his wallet inside his pocket, [color=0072bc]"I need to go to de bank dis morn too."[/color]
