Summary; Megumi and Shizune meet up to go to lunch after Shizune returns from her vacation at the beach.
Log;
It was almost strange, to be back in the City proper after her trip to the beach. But she was both glad and sad to be back. Glad, because she did miss some of the people here, and sad, because it was back to hiding, back to not speaking with him in public, not acknowledging him in front of someone who might not know. But she pushed those thoughts from her head, coming to a stop outside of Cafe Juliet. She'd told Megumi she'd meet her here, and she was looking forward to it. She hadn't spoken with her in person since the mass exodus, and that had been, for lack of a better word, a sad conversation. She hoped this one would not be.

"Of course, I took a bunch." Shizune sat across from Megumi, scrambling for the menu at her last comment to hide the blush in her face. She'd been more comfortable with speaking about such things, (god, but was Anko shameless sometimes), but the word "interesting" had been used throughout her little vacation as an adjective for... she couldn't even think about it. So embarressing.

"Mmm, some, ah, interesting things did happen, I suppose..." She said slowly, hiding her face away in the menu. "We, ah, got attacked by one of the forest beasts on the way there, that was, ah, interesting."

Raising an eyebrow, Megumi picked up her own menu and flippe through it, finally picking on a light sandwich meal and a strawberry parfait, then once Shizune had given her own order, she smiled wryly and rest her chin atop her hands, elbows against the table.

"Being attacked is one part of the fun. Being tended to later is where the entirety of it is." she commented lightly, with a glint of mirth in her eyes.

"You're blushing, Shizune. Something good obviously happened, right? Come on.." she giggled and gave her a wink. "Tell me!"

Something good? Well... maybe. Since the waiter had taken their orders she couldn't hide behind the menu anymore, instead nervously fiddling with a lock of her hair, trying to calm herself. Getting all flustered, she was thirty, for goodness sakes, not sixteen!

"He, ah, we..." She began, voice soft. She didn't want anyone else overhearing. "... talked about... children..." Shizune's gaze lowered. "I can't, well... it would be difficult for me to concieve on my own, but... I didn't even think he'd thought about it." She shifted, still not quite believing they had spoken about it.

It was really adorable the way Shizune was getting flustered and in a way, it pleased he as well. Out of all her friends, she knew Shizune rightfully deserved to be happy and when she admitted the conversation, Megumi raised an eyebrow.

Oh, THAT was delightful. The way Shizune had just mentioned concieving on her own made the lady giggle a bit and she had to cover her mouth with a hand. But the fact that Shizune was considering it made Megumi's eyes light up and she shook her head, moving a hand to Shizune's toying with her hair, taking it in her own and giving the other an assuring smile.

"I think if you'd have kids, they'd be beautiful." she commented. Then, giving her hand a squeeze and releasing it, she sat back in her seat with a smile. "I love children. It'll be so nice to see some light and cheer in here for once.." she looked thoughtful then. "Do you suppose the curses will affect them too..?

"Ah..." She ducked her head at Megumi's laugh. "I phrased that wrong." She smiled wanely. "My first battle wound, when I was younger. Would make it difficult to conceive." But she smiled nonetheless "But... there's still a chance."

"I don't know..." She hadn't thought about that. "I suppose they would but... these new deities seem easier to deal with, in some ways. Perhaps deals could be struck?" That would be horrid, if it worked that way.

"But thank you, Megumi." She settled into her seat. "And yourself... your, ah, sickness? Have you ruled out, ahem, other possibilities?"

The mention of an injury made Megumi's brow furrow with concern. She knew some spells that could actually improve that situation and make it painless for those injured to concieve again, but she wouldn't bring it up until Shizune wished for it.

It was when she asked about her sickness that Megumi sighed and moved a hand to touch back her hair, shaking her head. "I still think it's the flu.." she commented. Then, with a sheepish smile, she added, "It's impossile for me to tell, especially when I can't use my powers on myself when I'm sick."

Looking up at Shizune, she chuckled. "You might have to check me up when you can. I've never had a flu last this long."

"You can't use your powers to diagnose youself?" Shizune's voice was more concerned now. That had to be quite inconvenient, especially in a time like this!

"I can run a check up for you, of course." She nodded, smiling. "It would be my pleasure." She looked away for a moment when the waiter returned with their food, thanking the man and picking up her utensils. She'd learned to use the western style cookware with a minimum of difficulty after their first meeting. She had ordered a similar meal, a sub sandwich and a salad, and it look crisp. Refreshing.

"I do love the food here." She commented with a smile.
