"Heh, thanks," Yoshinobu replies, only blushing a little more at the compliment. He locks his fingers with hers and fishes his wallet out of his back pocket with his free hand, before handing it to Hinata. Like before at the maid cafe, it was loaded. Less koku this time, but more than anyone really carried around so freely - around four hundred altogether.
"Sorry you have to do it. I'm not good with commerce, yet. Though I guess if you are it just makes you even better material for Empress, right?"

Hinata chuckled again.
"Yes, I'll take care of the practical things. Benefits of being a Crab."
She rifled through the wallet and took out a sufficient about of money to pay for the meal, as well as leaving a hefty tip for the waiting staff, then handed the wallet back to Yoshinobu.
"So, what's this pit stop you're talking about? Is it a surprise?"

Yoshinobu takes it back and puts it into his back pocket again, saying a thank you to the staff before he leads Hinata back out to the moped.
"Well, it's not really a surprise or anything. While we were eating I realized we didn't have any pictures together, so I thought we could maybe stop by a purikura booth. I mean, only if you want to, that is," he suggested, rubbing the back of his head a little nervously. "That's something couples do, right?"

Hinata got on the back of the moped and put her helmet on.
"I think it's a wonderful idea."

"Oh yeah? Cool! I know it sounds kind of dorky," Yoshinobu admitted, putting his helmet on as well and hopping on the scooter in front of her. Most people just used filters on their phones for those kinds of things now, but Yoshinobu was a bit more old fashioned. He enjoyed the idea of a having a more tangible copy of the moment rather than something on his phone or in the cloud.
"Let's go then," he said, voice muffled by his helmet before he started up the engine and zipped off. It took only five minutes or so for the pair to arrive at a nearby mini mall with an arcade, which had a few of the photo booths outside. The Prince found a quick place to park and looked over to the machine, which had the logo for Gaia, a popular gaming developer on the side of it.
"You ever used one of these before?" he asked Hinata, taking off his helmet and leaving it on the moped.

Hinata took her helmet off as well.
"I can't say I have. I've only seen it on TV. How's it work? Ya just sit in it and it takes pictures?"
She walked up to him and hooked her arm into his.
"Also, don't worry about being dorky. Just look at who you're dating" she said playfully.

Yoshinobu let out a laugh and leaned into Hinata a little.
"Haha, fair enough. Maybe it is good that we'll take our first picture in a purikura machine then," he said with a smile, looking from the Kuni and back to the machine. "I've seen them in a few dramas from a decade or so ago. They've got filters and the like on them, where you can pick backgrounds or foregrounds and stuff like that. Yeah, you pretty much just sit in them and take photos."
The Prince led Hinata over and into the booth, closing the curtain to it behind them. It was fairly tight inside, with a huge touch screen where you could browse through various filters. "Hmm, why don't you find one you like Hinata-chan?"

"Giving me the first choice, hm? Let's hope you don't regret that."
Hinata smiled and looked through the filters, finally setting on a faintly blueish one.
"What about this one?"

Yoshinobu slid some spare zeni from his pocket into the machine, enough to let them take a bunch of pictures. He didn't know a lot about commerce, but he knew enough to know the machine wouldn't take whole koku.
"Sure thing, I like it. I've put in enough where we can take a whole bunch of pictures and print a bunch of stickers, I think." He stood back up after feeding the machine, and put his arm around Hinata. "I guess we smile for the camera here."
And so he did, flashing his pearly whites towards the area the booth asked them to look at.

Hinata put her head on Yoshinobu's shoulder and smiled as well, looking at the camera. She had to admit, this was dorky, but that did not mean it was not fun.
