[NO ONE except the many people who are not Ichigo that are keenly aware of where her heart lies. Tatsuki would be so proud of her right now, and Rangiku, probably Chad. She's trying, bless her heart!

Yes, she... doesn't want to look like a pervert. Never. That'd be like wearing a skimpy outfit because some idiot who enjoys messing with people thought it'd be funny. Anyway, her punctuality is right on, and when she knocks, Ichigo's just about ready to step out the door, himself, so it takes about two seconds before it opens up.

Lucky Hime, she's one of the first to see him in his brand new swanky casual clothes, the first and thus far only thing he's bought with his job money. It's nothing special, just a bog standard shirt, pants, and jacket combo, but it beats the heck out of wearing that dopey uniform all the time.]

Hey, Inoue. [He's all smiling and warm, too, and aww, her carrier is so cute. Meanwhile, Bearit is toddling along behind him, as self-absorbed and preening as ever.] Sounds like a good deal, I'll probably pick some extra up to take home. Is it a long walk to wherever it is we're going?

[ Oh, those are new clothes. She notices immediately! He's gone shopping...which makes her realize she should probably spend more time expanding her own wardrobe. To be honest, she's mostly been wearing what she's been given. Now she feels a little self-conscious in her own uniform.

She should have changed!! Why didn't she change...

Does this mean she looks dopey? Will her dopey-ness bring down his own cool and casual image? Good job, Hime! Pay attention!

She keeps this internal turmoil, well, internal. Which is for the best. She just keeps her back straight and tries to smile in a way that doesn't make her look weird.

Orihime shakes her head to his question as Kou watches Bearit curiously. Kou is curious by nature, but...also a little air-headed. ]

Only about...fifteen, twenty minutes! Depending on how fast we walk. And I think it's a nice day outside, so...um...we should be okay! If you don't mind walking...

[Don't fret none, he doesn't judge. He just hates getting mobbed by people that want to gush and coo over how awesometastically amazing heroes are, he's a private kinda guy, as she very well and probably frustratingly knows. The uniforms are a little flashy for his tastes, too, but given her choice in uniforms from Hueco Mundo...

Anyway. Just to reiterate, this is a judgment free zone, he won't blink twice at her going out in the fancy duds. In fact, he isn't thinking about anything at all except how nice that bread sounds, he hasn't eaten since afternoon the day before, so he's really looking for to this. Her smile looks as natural as can be to him, and he's ready to roll!

As for Bearit, well... as long as Kou doesn't muss up his fur, they'll get along. He just looks at him, sniffs, and gets back to making sure his fur is immaculate.]

That's not bad, walking'll be alright. We should be back in an hour or so, leaves plenty of time for everything else I've got to do today.

[ She thought have thought about that! Orihime has already been accosted, but the thought of going incognito as just...a normal person and not in some sort of costume hadn't crossed her mind. This is why they're all a team.

S-Still...bread! Bread is good, and tasty, and there are so many different types to choose from. Orihime hasn't had the chance to sample every kind yet, but she hopes to do so before they eventually leave this place. ]

G-Great! Let's go!

[ She is excited to get to spend some time with him. You know, just...friend time. Time that isn't expressly about school or a mission. It's a nice change.

Orihime clasps her hands behind her back as they begin to walk. Kou takes a moment before bounding after her. ]

Do you have a lot to do after food?
