This does get a laugh from Joo-Eun, much like it has in the past, as well as a genuine smile, "We've been over this in the past, Mako-chan. If it turns out that guys aren't for me, you are the first person I call. You don't need to volunteer to play pretend for me."

Posing with a V shape of her fingers over her eyes, she grins at her friend, "Yeah? The first? Gosh, looks like you already do have a crush on me, Victory point to Mako~!" As she finished her pose, she began to walk off again, "I'm too cute to be a boy anyways. All the boys would have crushes on me for being the cutest boy. That's how it works, right?" She laughed after saying it, so who knows how serious she was, "Do you wanna get some food, Eunnie? I'm sure you know all the cool secret hotspots to go hang out!" Mako loved to eat, it was one of her favorite things, and eating out with a friend was like, top tier.

Joo-Eun laughs, "Totally how it works, yeah. And while I don't know all of the secret treasures to be found in this district, I do know of a nice Yodotai place that happens to be a routine stop for one of the Thunders. By the by, you know that the Dragon Thunder is teaching at RHS again this year? She teaches kendo and...like...investigative techniques. Something like that. I haven't taken any of her classes, but she is the dorm mom for the girls again."

"Wow, that's pretty neat. But I mean, that also sounds like it sucks. The investigation sensei keeping track of everyone? How are you ever supposed to sneak in boys! This is why you need friends like me, Eunnie, to give you nice private places to make out with all your boyfriends." She nodded a few times, before her tummy started to rumble loudly, "I'm sure I'll end up meeting her anyways though, I'm planning to take a bit of the investigation courses... and hey, maybe we'll see her where we're going to eat! Because I'm hungry!"

"Actually, she all but said she's not going to look too closely at who comes and goes as long as we don't get stupid about it," Joo-Eun replies, "And here we are!"
The Utaku leads Mako to a small restaurant, which is the typical Yodotai place. The sort where they have pictures on the wall of famous visitors, signed by the person in question, along with tables with checkered table cloths and the like. They are greeted by a young man who shows the two of them to a table, handing them menus.

Mako doesn't even look at the menu, letting it sit in front of her as they sit at the table, "Order for us both. My treat, like old times. Mom's already sent my allowance for the week through, I'm sure it'll be plenty for us both, even if we ate out every day this month on just it" She knew her friend wasn't un-wealthy, but she also knew that she liked taking her friend out - and it meant she didn't have to decide. Girls wasn't the only thing Mako had choice paralysis for - she could never choose what to eat, and unless someone chose for her, usually ended up ordering three or four things that sounded good, and then only eating part of each. "How was your first year here, Eunnie, class wise?
I met one of the sensei here, but none of the others yet."

Fortunately, Joo-Eun has plenty of experience ordering and selects a couple vegetarian pasta dishes and a small pizza a variety of cheeses and herbs, intending to share the meal with her friend, as well as soda for the both of them. She ponders.
"Well, the classes are kinda...different. Because it's a lot less structured and you can study what you want when the classes are available, and the teachers will work with students more one on one if they need to. It took some getting used to, but I had a great time. Like there was an Akodo who knew my dad back in the day who was teaching Strategy and Tactics, so after classes, I'd sometimes get him to tell these great stories about my dad when he was younger. Like...apparently, my dad one time managed to wind up charging a position during a war game maneuvers wearing nothing more than his underwear, because of an ambush. Surprised the hell out of the ambushers, who weren't expecting a half-naked samurai to charge them with a naginata."

Mako laughed loudly at her friend's story, giggling along as she pictured the girl's father half naked. Wait. No. She shut her eyes as she tried to exorcise the man's image from her mind, oh god it was everywhere why couldn't she get it out, "The image of that is at the same time hilarious and horrifically scarring to my psyche!" She admitted aloud to her friend, as she focused her mind on switching the dad out with her nearby friend. Yes. A half naked Joo-Eun was a much better image in her head, charging with her naginata. Yes. Very good. A light blush tinged her cheeks as she thought of her friend like that. "That sounds amazing! I met one of the teachers earlier, she seemed very... nice?" Mako was non-commital, but smiled as she said it, betraying her enjoyment of the time with Fuyuko, "I'm hoping there's some good teachers for courtly things too though. After all, how else am I gonna continue to be the beauty everyone wants, if I can't master every court, eh?" She winked at her friend, "What classes are you mainly going to focus on?"

Joo-Eun considers the question for a few moments while waiting for the food, "Probably going to focus on honing my skills with polearms, take more strategy and tactics classes, maybe some more logistics type classes. And...well...I may end up taking investigative techniques with Mirumoto Aiko-sensei and I think Utaku Genji-sensei is expecting me to attend his animal handling class once or twice."

She frowned a little at the ide a of the classes her friend would take. They almost all sounded like bad ones that would get her hurt."Well, then I guess we won't see each other much during class at least. We should make sure that we at least hang out during lunch and stuff. And keep scheduling dates like today, if you wanna keep being my girlfriend." They weren't on a date, they weren't dating, and yet Mako seemed so self assured and there was No doubt in her voice as she teased her friend, "And if you ever need me to look at your bruises,
I don't mind at all!" She wouldn't mind looking over the girl. Nope. The implication was there, and she stared into Eun's eyes waiting for her to see it.
