1 ✿ The Louvre Hotel ; Backdated to 6^th May
[She isn’t carrying much with her, just a small overnight bag. It seems oddly full, but it’s doubtful that it’s full of night clothes and toiletries]

I have a reservation, it's under the name 'Saigyouji'.

[Yuyuko seems oddly serious, for her at least. There’s still something very calm about her manner though. Occasionally she looks around as if checking for familiar people]

2 ✿ 946 Beulah Street
[Even though she was nowhere to be found last night, Yuyuko sits at the kitchen table in her assigned house. There’s definitely something not quite right. This morning she seems very quiet. Even if you walk past she won’t cheerily wish you good morning like normal, only acknowledging your presence if you acknowledge hers first. What’s even stranger is that she made her own tea for a change.

It’s easy to miss with her head tilted down to stare into her drink, but if you look closely there’s a very distinct bruising around her neck]

3 ✿ Achewood Bakery
[By the afternoon, Yuyuko seems much more like her old self. The bruising around her neck has lightened considerably and she even has a small smile on her face]

Could I take this one please? And this one… no, wait I’ll have this one instead.

Ah, I really can’t decide. They all look so good. Do you have any recommendations?

[It’s nice to treat yourself once in a while]

Ah, that's right. That vampire did say that she had most of the inhabitants of her mansion with her. How lucky for her, but with her ability I suppose it's to be expected.

Although... why send a librarian to do a maid's job?

-Patchy visibly flinched at the mention of Sakuya, off hand as it was.-

She's... not here any longer.

[Normally Yuyuko would make some unintentionally insensitive comment about it, after all death was just an every day thing for her. However, this was Mayfield. This was different and now she understood more than ever how much weight those words really had]

I'm sorry to hear that. Send my best wishes to the remaining members of the house.

Mm...

Do you have any recommendations?

I suppose if it was someone dear to you then just a small service with family and friends would be best. If you wanted, I'm sure you could find the materials to make an appropriate tomb, or memorial if you decide to go with cremation instead.

... I meant for the doughnuts...

-Nevermind that Sakuya wasn't actually dead.-

Oh!

The ones filled with fruit jam are quite nice, albeit quite sweet. The ones that have a clear glaze are a little plain but more subtle with the flavours. It depends on what you're looking for really.

Something Meiling might enjoy.

[Yuyuko thinks, long and hard. The pensive look on her face is only broken when she turns back to Patchouli with an answer]

I really wouldn't have a clue about what she would enjoy.

... I suppose it was a bit much to ask. Maybe something nutty...

Well, you do know her better than I do. I'd hate to suggest something that she disliked, especially now.

Mm. I understand. I've just never really indulged in doughnuts before. I'm more of a cakes person.

Then maybe there is something we agree on. Prior to my arrival here, I'd never much experienced them either. At least, not like these.

They are distinctly American...

As is everything else in this town.

To think I've been here almost three years and never have I once actually eaten a doughnut...

Really? That long?

I'm surprised you wouldn't have tried one at least once.

I rarely leave my house and no one ever brought them home.

What a boring life you must lead...

In that case I'll get one for you now, it'll be my treat. Once should sample the local delicacies when visiting somewhere new, it's all part of the experience!

You could put it a bit more nicely...

And you don't have to.

Are you sure? I really don't mind.

You never know, you might enjoy it!

... Well, I suppose...

That's the spirit!

[she takes her own order, having finally decided as well as a colourful iced doughnut for Patchouli]

Here, it looks a little strange but it's part of the culture.

Hm... Down the hatch, as the saying goes.

-She takes the doughnut, taking a single tiny bite, slowly chewing.-

Well? How is it?
