[Naminé looked up as she approached with a nervous smile.]
Oh n-no not at all! Thank you for inviting me out today.
[She didn't really want to outright say: "I've wanted to get to know you for so long." It was kind of embarrassing but more so she didn't want to weird her out. But it was hard not to be drawn to her original self.]
No problem. I figured maybe we could do something like a girls' day out. Just the two of us.
[ She was far from a mind reader or anything but honestly, she'd figured the best way to get to know each other would be to do something like this. Simple and easy to manage without anything being too complicated and it'd still be fun.
Especially since Kairi was positive Naminé had never gotten to do something like this to start with. So hey. Many reasons why this was needed. ]
Of course! I was thinking we would start with just walking around the market, seeing if anything catches our eye and talking between the both of us. From there, we could always find somewhere to eat and then some exploring so you could get more acquainted with the city here.
[ Hopefully that didn't sound too boring or anything. ]
[Kairi was right in her assumptions; Naminé had definitely never had anything like that. But that didn't mean she didn't daydream of it. She never thought she would have a chance like this, so she nodded with a smile on her face.]
That sounds fun to me. Let's do it!
[She walked with her other, mostly watching her feet as the went along. She still felt a little shy.]
[ There was absolutely no second thoughts in the nod she gave Naminé in response, feeling quite elated that the other girl was wanting to do this. She wished she could have showed Naminé what Destiny Islands was really like, but for now just having a day in which they could just spend time with one another would definitely suffice.
She glanced sidelong as they walked, noting the shyness but not going to bring it up or anything just yet. ]
I believe it's been about half a year now, I think. I might be wrong.
[ Kairi couldn't help the small laugh that followed her words, having come to realize that very fact even as she said it aloud. ]
Time really does fly around here. There's usually something always going on so it does make it interesting, and yet it's really peaceful as well.
Really? That seems so long to me. But I can understand how you feel, I think. It's nice that you're enjoying it.
[The Nobody was enjoying herself too. She had met so many people so far, and they genuinely cared for her. Naminé had never thought that would be possible. But here she is....shopping with her original self. It's like a dream.]
Yeah... it kinda does seem a little long now that you mention it. I do hope you come to enjoy it as much as I have.
[ Which is something she completely means, speaking from the heart. She then cast her gaze upward to a spot just ahead of the two of them and upon spotting something, her expression lit up. ]
Oh, there it is!
[ She points toward the market itself and the one stall closest to them that has a bunch of nice looking dresses on display. ]
I think I will honestly. So far I have anyway. I feel very free here, and what's something I've wanted for so long. It's good to be here.
[Naminé isn't sure how aware Kairi is of her former situation, but if she wasn't, the topic is sure to come up. She wants to be honest with the other after all. When Kairi points out the stall, she nods and follows her there. Naminé awes at the dress.]

Wow they're beautiful!
