A week had passed since the detention club had the sleepover at Ami's place, and similarly so, it had been a week since Apia assisted with the defeat of the massive nightmare assaulting the sleepover. It seemed a lot of the club had reaped serious benefits from the destruction, though Apia wasn't exactly sure what it did for her just yet. She felt like it made her stronger, certainly, but she didn't know how it made her stronger, exactly. Her speculation right now was that her paralytic poison acted quite faster, but she wasn't completely sure of that.

Regardless, there wasn't a club meeting today, which struck Apia as a little odd. She noticed Touka was straying away from the rest of the group, which Apia wasn't sure why. She didn't remember her being so apprehensive of the rest of the group. Maybe it was just a hard time for her. A family tragedy, perhaps? Apia wanted to inquire further, but doing so might only be annoying her and overstepping the boundaries she had, if it was true.

There was also the topic of Seyrun's presence. Apia wasn't sure if she trusted the girl just yet, though her mind wasn't out of malice or anything. Seyrun was just distant to the Hivemother, so there wasn't really any reason for Apia to trust (or distrust) the new arrival to the detention club. Within time, her opinion might change, but until then Apia wouldn't try to dirty the waters in the sea of a new ally.

All that aside, Apia sipped her smoothie in the shopping mall she was at. There wasn't a meeting today, and she could easily handle herself in a fight so she wasn't worried about that either. She just wanted to spend some time at the mall, looking for new cute clothes to surprise Hana with on their next date night. Maybe a nice new set of PJs so she could cuddle Hana in them? She was just gonna let the world decide that as she looked around the various stores.

For now, though, she had a smoothie, and she was gonna sit back and drink it.
