Maybe she likes him? [ Minako says, curiosity obvious in her tone. She stops transferring gingerbread men and cookies from her plate to his. There are only three gingerbread men on hers. ] Is that enough?
[ Interesting point, Yata. She raises a finger and with it, taps her chin lightly, pondering. ]
That certainly is a mystery. Maybe they came from the same place...? [ It could probably explain why the friend coughfushimicough managed to get a date. ] The human mind works in mysterious ways...
[ ...Is she channeling the school nurse... ah... ] Oh yeah, I'm Minako Arisato, by the way! Nice to meet ya.
[ Minako's right about that. What are the implications, though? Yata doesn't want to admit nor think about them, so he'll skip to their introductions. ]
... Misaki Yata. [ Arisato, Arisato... ] You have a brother?
[ People keep calling him Yata-kun, but by now, he figures that people only call him that because he looks young, haha. He wants to establish his seniority!! ]
... Somebody else is carrying her surname? Whut. ]
The "brother" you mean? Could be just coincidence, there have been people who share the same last names but aren't related, you know! And Minako's fine. [ SCREW HONORIFICS ]
Anything to help out! Besides, it was nothing. [ Food's better when shared, really. ] And if you get bored [ with mr. i hate people except saya ], ya can hang out with me if you want.

[ He says, bitterness bleeding into his tone. Not the best topic to start with, but if it's an avenue for letting off some steam, he'll take it. ]

[ Ah, he snapped. Just before she could finish asking her second question, too. ]
no subject
Sorry... Yeah, it's cool.
[ But he transfers a few cookies back so that they are evenly divided between plates. ]

... Misaki Yata. [ Arisato, Arisato... ] You have a brother?
no subject
Don't think so. [ And she will leave it at that. She has an important question though. ]
So, are you Yata-kun or Yata-san?
[ Or alternately, she'll try that one name he whispered (she might get it wrong though) ]
no subject
...-san. Yata-san.
[ But what does he call her? ]
There are two Arisatos...

Oh.
[ That makes sense. There are a lot of Yamadas and Tanakas out there, after all. ]
Mina, ko. [ No, it's too weird. ] San...
no subject
That's a start! [ tiiime for small talk. ] So this guy with the same surname as me, what's he like?
no subject
Dunno, just talked to him on the network... But he sounds lazy. [ A beat. ] Or he really needs to sleep earlier.
no subject
lazy... hmm, does that ring a bell...? (eh, probably not) but she looks back at his plate to check if he's got everything he needs ]
Huh, maybe I'll run into him someday. You got everything for your acquaintance?
no subject
Um... I still need a choco banana.
[ Wait, why does he even care? ]
no subject
There you go. Now you're set.
[ To keep your not!friend company or something. ]
no subject
[ Yata doesn't want to go back to Fushimi, but avoiding him will make it look like Fushimi won, so he'll accept this. Oh, one last thing. ]
Uh, um. [ Too shy to say it, he lowers his head. ] Thank, you... and stuff.

[ Like, if you don't want to listen to Fishimi, Minako is available to listen to you fumble your words and not judge. ]
no subject
[ He tends to do that. ]
I-I'll see you. Or something. Bye!
no subject
[ and she's back to wandering around the tables for more food. ]
