Me Steal? No you must be mistaking me for someone else. [Yoriko/Steiner]

He watched her apologize from the doorway to the sweets shop and did his best to mind his own business as his mind began to go through a thousand possible lecturing points. She had stolen someone else's property and it was his duty to make sure that she received, at least to the fullest extent of his ability, a stern talking to.

Right?

He rubbed his right temple with his left hand and then shook his head. This young girl had just came to the city with no idea how modern society currently worked. Sure, she had stolen, and that was something wrong and by that same process made it unjust, but he could not fault her for doing something wrong when she didn't know what she was doing. It was like yelling at a baby for throwing up all over itself. Besides, Steiner came to realize, this young lady was another disciple of Henrex, and for him to lecture and groan out some kind of speech would only probably put a wedge between them.

No, it was better to form a solid bond between the two of them because who knew what sort of things could happen in the near future that would force them to cooperate together after all.

So he swallowed the immense instinctual drive to lecture the genin and suppressed that response with thoughts of helping her out. But how could he help her? That was the million Yen question, he supposed. That train of thought was interrupted as he had been so deep in thought about this that he had barely noticed the returning ninja girl after her thorough apology. He almost jumped, startled by her appearance, and even more so by the question that she had posed to him.

Fun?

If she were asking him what he did for fun that would have been a simple question to answer. Training was by far one of his favorite activities, but he knew that probably wasn't something Yoriko would be too fond of in terms of an answer. Then there was reading, he knew of several libraries with extensive amounts of literature, poems, and historical texts in the general vicinity. Maybe she was an avid reader? Somebody who enjoyed a story or a book on medicinal herbs and their many usages? No, that was stupid.

To be honest, Steiner had always been somebody who had a good group of friends around him when he was in school, but when it came down to what went on after school? Well, needless to say while they were out socializing, he had planted his nose in a book, or hit the gym. He mused that maybe he was not the best person to be put in charge of hosting an elegant adventure into the realm of the mystery that was 'fun'.

By chance, Steiner was lucky enough to notice a few school girls, roughly around his age, and probably attending college courses walking by him talking about the mall. In an epiphany moment, Steiner muttered with absolute certainty to Yoriko:

"Lets go to the mall! There is plenty of cool stuff there...at least I heard there is."

His voice trailed off into a murmur as he looked away bashfully. In truth he had not once visited the mall in Karakura, choosing instead to focus on his nerdy habits of reading and practicing over enjoying the social aspects of the city. Still, this was probably the best way to immerse Yoriko in the culture of modern civilization, and besides...it could be fun.

Right?
