「－－・｛壁｝・－－」 At her query being answered, Iki’s face lit up like a curious child tugging on a mobile stuffed toy. The Autumnal Equinox? From her assumptions, she could only perceive it as one of the odd humans’ customs she came to realize.
“The… Autumnal Equinox…?”
The title of the celebration was drawled in a careful manner as though she was being vigilant in avoiding tripping her words. The exquisite name was enough to perk her interest to try to attend. As her mind reeled through the possibilities, Iki rung up each confectionery and placed them neatly into a bag.
“That will be a total of 2,000 yen, sir.”
The fact that she didn’t seem to know about the equinox hinted to her true nature, which he picked up on almost immediately. She had the same look on her face like Rukia always did when she was learning something new about Japanese custom or just the human world in general. If anything, the similarities in expression were the only thing that clearly indicated who she was–or rather, what she was.
Reaching his hand into his back pocket and withdrawing his wallet, he placed the exact bill upon the money tray. Leaning in just a hair and casting a glance around him for onlookers and possible eavesdroppers, he arched a brow in question.
“I’m guessing you’re not from around here, are you?”
