Ichiro had forgotten to prepare a bento for the day so as lunch rolled around he was starving and he definitely wanted to grab something to eat before meeting up with Uetani at the shrine later. Ichiro heads into the restaurant district and decides he will try and maybe find something there. As he wanders downtown and starts seeing all the different options he quickly becomes overwhelmed, too many things going on at once. He was more used to a smaller city since he grew up in a small but relatively wealthy town in the Akodo lands. Then as he turns a corner he bumps directly into someone but he didn't quite see who but automatically his hands reach out to catch the person "oh my kami, I am so sorry!" he stammers out a bit from surprise as his hands close around someone's arms. He looks down and sees the lovely rockstar from Tarik's party and after a few stunned seconds he realizes he is still grasping her shoulders and lets her go before stepping back to a respectful distance and bowing, blushing slightly. "Hello, this one is Akodo Ichiro, I apologize for running into you." Catch Hoshiko TN 15 19 |

Hoshiko, on the other hand, had come to offer personal thanks to the restaurant owner who always went out of her way to bring her deliveries. The food had been so good! Other than one mean person, Hoshiko was having such a good day, and nothing could bring her to a sto-
*Bang*
Bring wall hit! Hoshiko stumbled backwards, but thankfully the wall caught her.
Wait...what?
A few blinks, and she realized it wasn't brick-shaped hands, but human shaped hands. Belonging to a human shaped body, that was very human.
"A-ah!" Hoshiko blushed, bowing deeply" I'm sorry! I was lost in my own world, a-ano..." she peeked up when he let go of her "D-doji Hoshiko" she offered in reply "a-are you ok?"
...Like a tiny little flower (Hoshiko) could hurt a big tree (Ichiro)

The Doji was incredibly apologetic which threw Ichiro for a second, he'd expected a celebrity like her to be a tad more....stuck up? "haha no worries Doji-san I believe i've endured your assault with no serious damage." Ichiro put on his most charming smile as his tone took on a more playful quality.
"Yes Doji-san I recognize you from Tarik-san and Otomo-san's back to school party, you were wonderful!" Oh god I sound like a fan boy, he thought as he smiled at Doji Hoshiko . Just then his stomach made an audible grumbling sound and his cheeks took on a bit of color. "Though I suppose to make it up to me for almost bowling me over you could give me a recommendation on where to get a decent bite to eat in this giant maze." his smile was still playful but touched with a bit of helplessness as he was clearly out of his depth in the city.

"Well now, that's good!" Hoshiko grinned, giving another bow "and thank you! I really enjoy playing, and it makes me happier knowing people loved it as much as I loved playing it!"
Then the rumble...and she giggled, moving ahead and tugging his arm.
"Come on, come on. I've got a place to thank that bend the rules forme and I promised them advertising...so you're eating there. It's a little sushi place, but they do the best salmon nigiri anywhere. You literally have to travel to the islands and get it freshly made on the spot to have it any better. Just round the corner."

Ichiro was pulled along surprised by the forcefulness of the small girl "Um o..ok I guess I'll have to try it if it's really that good." He did love a good nigiri if the girl tells the truth he'll owe her big time.
"so is this sort of thing common for you? Getting special treatment in exchange for stuff? Must be pretty cool I'd imagine." Ichiro was half talking half thinking out loud as he began to pull even with the girl since he had gotten over his initial shock of being dragged, though after a moment he noticed her hands still on his arm as he had caught up and he blushed a bit, she really was quite lovely, especially now that he was much closer. Ichiro did his best to not make a big deal about it and just tried to keep his casual tone going.

"You have no idea Akodo-senpai. People will bend over backwards for celebrities, it's pretty insane. I mean, if someone does for me I absolutely make sure to pay them back. Especially this place, they don't to deliveries...except for me. Literally just me" Hoshiko laughed "it's pretty mad, but I'm ok with this. The food is awesome, the owner is a sweetheart. She's an Ikoma you know" she smiled up to the boy as he walked next to her "trained in the academies of course, that's where I knew her from. She studied with my father, so I guess kind of family friend?"
She came to a stop next to a very simple looking building, with a sign saying 'Catfish'. It was basic, and to the the point. Very Lion. The man at the door clearly recognized the girl, bowing to her and saying "didn't I just deliver to you a few hours ago?"
Hoshiko bowed. "Yep! And I've come to say thanks and bring a friend!" she motioned to the Lion next to her "could you let Kaneko-sama know I'm here? I need to thank her in person, those volcano roll things were amazing, even if I couldn't get through one of them" she giggled.
"I will" the man nodded, bowing to the Lion before holding the door for the two of them to enter.

Ichiro was slightly swept up in all the energy the little crane was putting out. When he'd seen her on stage this isn't at all what he expected her to be like in real life. "My goodness Doji-san you certainly seem like a very well connected person. I don't know too many Ikoma but it is always nice to see a cousin and to know they are doing well."
He bowed back to the man at the door and followed Hoshiko inside enjoying the feel of the restaurant "Wow it reminds me of a shop back home. Where I'm from is much smaller but still fairly wealthy. This big city has me all turned around."

"Then even better! Can't say she'll come down for sure, but maybe knowing there's a cousin as well as Black Swan around might tempt her" she grinned, leading them to sit down. Offering Ichiro a menu
"Where are you from, Akodo-senpai?"

Ichiro pondered the menu while he talked "I'm from down south a small city near Toshi Shiro Matsu. Kind of a suburb really I think it's counted as part of the city but it's very different." He looks over the top of his menu "and what about you Doji-san? Where do you come from?"

"I'm a city girl; born and raised in Tsuma, home of the Kakita academies and the Topaz championship! Lived there up until my first tour at twelve with the band" Hoshiko didn't even look at the menu; she knew it off by heart.
The store focused entirely on different kinds of sushi, with some unique versions. It had an extensive tea and alcohol list.
