Karine slid around the corner to the Akasha Agency entrance, before quickly pulling her phone from her jacket. She had made sure to time her run to the Agency from her home this time, even using her phone! However, the stopwatch app showed some strange set of laps that ultimately ended far too early. Karine realized that she must have accidentally pressed the touch screen a bunch while it was in her pocket. "[color=lightblue][b]Oh well...[/b][/color]" She shrugged it off easily. She never really cared too much about the time anyway, the timer was just to make sure she wasn't slacking rather than set any kind of record. 

She mulled over her timing problem as she strolled into the entrance. Her eyes quickly scanned the room, and settled on Homura, who had sat down at the bar already. Karine decided against using the element of surprise to steal some warmth from Homura - The benefits probably were outweighed by the negatives of being "the agent that caused a scene the second she entered the room."

Instead Karine took a seat next to Homura. "[b][color=lightblue]Well, I'll have some hot cocoa![/color][/b]" She said, giving the bartender a big smile. "[b][color=lightblue]Oh! And I'll also have a mission, too. But the cocoa first.[/color][/b]" She barely paused before quickly turning to Homura. "[b][color=lightblue]Say, do you have a watch? I just realized that I could totally use a watch, something that could time my runs for me-[/color][/b]" Karine stopped for a moment before realizing she didn't even properly greet Homura, so she quickly added, "[b][color=lightblue]-Oh! Also, good evening![/color][/b]"
