"Hm?"

Himeko's descent came to a stop when she saw someone approach. She recognised the face of the young woman... Kaneko, right? You didn't get many people her age visiting the shrine these days, at least not on their own. Himeko gave a friendly smile, hands in the pockets of her jeans.

"Finished with the morning clean-up, at least," the bespectacled lady replied, "you'll have to wait until late afternoon to catch a glimpse of my beautiful self in uniform~"
The shrine maiden was curious, though. What could Kaneko Nico want to pray for? She didn't seem particularly religious, although Himeko was simply basing that off of their brief interactions. Well, as long as she wasn't mistaking the shrine as a miracle-granter, Himeko didn't particularly mind her presence.

With a playful smile, she pointed her hand towards the torii, "well, perhaps a [i]generous[/i] donation to our lovely little shrine will convince me to don my hakama a little earlier~?"
Himeko's playful attitude was certainly more pronounced when out of uniform. She reigned in her sillier comments while on duty, but she simply couldn't restrain her more light-hearted antics any other time.
