After a few minutes, Takano's breathing evens out, and she stands up. She gives a small bow to Yoshi and her sister before letting out a sigh, "You two... really shouldn't have. Not that I don't wanna spend time with you two, but hey... it's kinda like your second date, right? You deserve some time alone before you have to go, Tamori-sama."
Momiko smiles and shakes her head, "Yoshi-san can make decisions for himself, Takano-chan. We're both adults, and you will be too in less than a year. So maybe we should just come to these decisions together?"

"It could also be our third date, or our negative one-th date, depending how you want to look at it, Asahina-san," Yoshi says to Takano, flashing a smile at Momiko. "I thank you for worrying about our time together, but as she said, it's our mutual decision that your well-being is much more important. Besides, I think your sister and I will have plenty of other opportunities to be alone together in the future." He looks to Momiko again after saying this, a hopeful and maybe even slightly mischievous gleam in his eyes.

Takano sticks out her tongue, "If you aren't gonna call having my big sis with you in a beautiful dress at a movie a date, then I'm gonna have to take her away from you for snuggles, Tamori-sama. Heck, I wanted to be there too just to enjoy the time with her, but noooo... she said it was just for you and her. I swear I tried to communicate that with you with just my eyes from the limo that night."
Momiko looks on sheepishly, "Now now... You know you'll always be my little sister, Takano-chan. Even if we have different fathers, even if I'm dating, and even if I don't live here all the time anymore. You're special to me."
Takano immediately brightens, "So... does that mean I can marry you, Nee-sama?"
Momiko rubs the back of her head with a sweatdrop forming, "Umm... I wouldn't go THAT far. For more than a few reasons."

I choose to respect that decision... even now that she's made a new one." Momiko looks on sheepishly, "Now now... You know you'll always be my little sister, Takano-chan. Even if we have different fathers, even if I'm dating, and even if I don't live here all the time anymore. You're special to me." Takano immediately brightens, "So... does that mean I can marry you, Nee-sama?"Momiko rubs the back of her head with a sweatdrop forming, "Umm... I wouldn't go THAT far. For more than a few reasons." Yoshi looks on, enjoying the display of sisterly affection silently until Momiko balks at her sister's proposal. "I hope I'm one of those reasons," Yoshi adds, grinning. |

"Absolutely, Yoshi-kun!"
Momiko grabs Yoshi's arm and pulls herself against him, "Mine."
She sticks her tongue out at her little sister, who seems to try to have a raspberry contest with her. Complete with that 'pbbbb~' sound.

"Hey, cut it out," he playfully chides Momiko. "If you don't put that tongue back in your mouth... I might have to kiss it." He might have though twice whether this was too cutesy again for Tanako, or a little too forward for Momiko, but he's too caught up in the fun of the moment to worry much about it.

Momiko nods and stops, Takano getting one last one in before offering a harumph. "Anyways, let's get going; It's past dark, and I still have stuff to do before bed."Another nod from Momiko and she waits for Yoshi to follow... The next room ends up being the conservatory. It takes the top three stories of the back of the manor, full of tropical flora, and the view from its tall windows must be impressive during the day. Not that it's shabby at night, the mansions's position on a hill offering a view of the city's lights over the treetops. They stay a while, Momiko showing Yoshi her pet tortoise, Gen, and both girls showing him all the song birds their mother keeps in there. But Takano was right that it was late, and it seems too soon before Yoshi finds the three of them back in the grand foyer, looking out over the entry hall from the second story balcony. |

"I guess this is it," he says to both girls, though he saves his look of reluctance for Momiko alone. "I had a really great time, Momiko-san; thank you... for everything." From their high vantage point, he looks down to see if he can spy any more of the household waiting to see them out. He expects Jio to escort him to a waiting taxi out front, he hopes the servant with his shoes would actually be returning them, but most of all, he wants a final word with Momiko's mother, to make clearer his intentions toward what he would only think of as her daugther, not her experiment.

He can't spot Jio... Just the maid from before with his shoes near the door, and a slightly younger maid standing next to a sitting Asahina Mei. The silver haired woman isn't at the door, instead in a sitting area in the middle of the large hall clearly meant for guests to wait in if they arrive early or unexpected.
Momiko nods to Yoshi with a smile, while Takano seems to be deciding whether she should stay or not.

"Hey... um... could you wait here a bit before seeing me off, please?" Yoshi asks Momiko, reaching out to squeeze her hand affectionately. "I want to... maybe have a quick word with Asahina-sama, just the two of us." He looks over to Takano.
"It was an honor to meet and be hosted by you also, Asahina-san," he says, bowing to her. Sensing her indecision, he adds, "You're welcome to see me off in a moment also. However, if you need to get going, I'll say goodbye now... but also that I hope to see you again soon." He bows to her and gives her a warm smile. Then, whether Momiko agrees to wait or not, though he imagines she will, he heads down the stairs to where Asahina Mei is seated.
"Good evening, Asahina-sama," he says, bowing deeply to her. He waits to be acknowledged before saying more. What he has to say isn't any secret from Momiko, but he wanted her to stay behind to spare her hearing any negative reactions from her mother.
