Karine nodded enthusiastically to Homura. "[b][color=lightblue]Definitely![/color][/b]" Karine took a quick sip of her drink, and gave a content sigh. "[b][color=lightblue]Ah... That's perfect![/color][/b]" She gave a thumbs-up to Gotou before quickly returning to her drink. In between sips, Karine quickly added, "[b][color=lightblue]Definitely sounds like a fun girls' night out, I mean! Well, I'd also be okay with you joining in for training, but I don't necessarily want to embarrass you, so-[/color][/b]" she flashed a teasing grin to Homura with that little jab- "[b][color=lightblue]I just wanted to see what watch you had, you know! If it was reliable, if it worked below freezing temperatures, and such.[/color][/b]"

The hot chocolate was wonderful. Karine wanted to order another, and then another, and then... But she'd end up curled up on one of the chairs in the lobby, too lazy to end up doing anything. Not that Gotou would let her have too many, of course. Karine's mother had given the Agency a decent "dos and don'ts" list when she was first signed up.

Karine held out hope that she'd get at least one more hot drink after the job was done, though.
