Walked outside, that sounded nice. So the forest was a good idea. Junko looked surprised by the instruments, having had no idea Mitsu played piano or that Shun played guitar. Things they did together, not just happened to be in the same room doing their own thing. That was so sweet. Junko was quiet for a long moment before she smiled warmly and looked down at the sketch again. "I'll see if I can incorporate the music without it being cheesy or too gimmicky." She mused, chewing on the end of her pencil again.
Junko looked up again when he brought up training. "Training what?"

Nodding to that, Shun paused at the question of training, uncertain what about it seemed to confuse Junko.
"Combat training. General training. It's good to keep the body strong."
And to always stay sharp. No matter what people wanted to believe, things were still dangerous in general. If not hunters, there were always other threats about. The attack of the shadowlings recently was proof enough of that.

Combat training? Mitsu? She couldn't see it, that meek young wolf combat training. Maybe she just assisted? Junko wasn't judging she was just... surprised. "I see." Junko looked down at the sketch again. Could she incorporate training? Probably not...but maybe strength? That could prove a challenge, a challenge she was willing to take on. She would make something Shun and Mitsu both loved. "You two do a lot together~." She smiled, sipping at her tea some more. Suddenly she cleared her throat. "Did you have an offer in mind for price or is that something you want to discuss together?" Junko would just quickly move the subject away from happy couple things. She had her answer, she didn't want to keep knowing more about it. It was making her chest hurt.

"That's fairly normal though, is it not?" Shun asked in turn. He wasn't completely familiar with what was really considered normal for a relationship, but he could only assume doing things together was something couples did.
As the futakuchi onna shifted back towards business, he shook his head.
"I was hoping to discuss it. After all, you'll need materials and I'd rather you not end up coming in at a loss over this."

"Yes, of course. It's perfectly normal for couples to spend time together and do things together and go out and do more than just happen to be in the same room doing things at the same time.." Junko tried not to sound jealous or bitter, but she was. Seiji had been so blindsided by her decision, he probably hated her right now, but to Junko is just made so much sense. How could he not know she had been unhappy? She could only hide so much of her feelings..
Business. Business. Business.
Junko smiled and stood to walk up to her wall of fabrics, the square cubbies filled with bolts of different colors and materials. "Well, that depends! You could save if I already have what I need. Riley and Lizzy have been very generous in their donations..what would you like it made with? Silk?" She pulled a bolt out for Shun to see. "I haven't used this one yet at all, so I have a lot of it. I don't have much red or black left, I use it a lot..sooo that is something I'd need to buy.." Junko continued to go through what she had, muttering quietly to herself. She'd gotten a little more confident since the first time she discussed price.
"A kimono usually goes for a good..thousand or more...I can definitely give you less than that." She finally spoke directly to the reaper now, a smile on her face.

The way Junko replied was... surprising to say in the least. She sounded rather bitter. Shun eyed her for a few moments, then slowly asked, "...Is everything alright?"
Shaking his head somewhat, he watched as she went up to her wall of fabrics. He took another sip of tea, then set it down so that he could join the girl in examining the fabric. Reaching out, he felt the silk, and nodded, liking the feel of it. He didn't know too much about fabrics but this seemed nice enough.
"This seems pretty good," he said. Turning towards her, he nodded quietly as she stated that kimono can usually get up in the thousands.
"That sounds great. Are you sure though?"
While yes, he did want to save money, he wanted to make sure Junko was certain about this.

"Yes." Junko answered quickly at first, simply an instinct to pretend everything was okay when it wasn't. "No..I mean...it will be.." She sighed, gently pushing a bolt back into its cubby. "I'm sorry, I didn't meant to snap. I just...I'm very.." Junko shook her head and stopped it there.
Shun's question on her certainty got him a nod. "Yeah! Maybeeeeee.." She counted on her fingers, muttering quietly to herself again while she did the math in her head some more. Silk was expensive, and she didn't want to not make some kind of profit out of it..well...she did say she was the queen of haggling. "Eight hundred?"

"Hm?" he inquired while staring at Junko a little more. For a moment or so, he stood there silently, regarding the other, "You seem fairly stressed. Perhaps now isn't the best time for this?"
She had seemed rather excited earlier, but it was fairly apparent that there were some issues somewhere around. Though, when she tossed out a price at him, he nodded to her. It was lower, as she said, but she would have better judgement on the cost of making the kimono than he would.
"That seems fair."

Junko shook her head. "Mm, no. This is the best time, actually. I need this." She wasn't lying, she really did need this. Otherwise she would just mope until she couldn't mope anymore. Making clothes was the best distraction for anything ever. "I'll be fine, I just um..suffered a great shock to my system recently, you could say." A bit of trauma, it was her own fault. She couldn't blame anyone for this.
"Eight hundred seeds it is! You don't have to pay me until I finish." She trusted Shun. She knew he would pay her.

After regarding her for a few moments, Shun slowly nodded.
"If you say so. Though.. if you need anything, please say so," he offered. While he was going to be paying her here, she was still doing him quite a favor he felt. It was going to be a kimono tailored specifically for Mitsu, and he knew she was going to give it her all, which was special in its own right.
"Very well. It's a deal then," he agreed. He had time to work up the money, and that should be easier now that he was with the Family once more.

"That's kind of you, but I'll be okay. You just treat Mitsu like a princess and never take her for granted and I'll be content." Junko said with a smile and a nod, returning to the table to pick up her tea and finish it. Shun agreed to the payment and she gave him a thumb's up, putting her empty cup down. "Yay! I'm glad. I'll keep you updated on the progress, then! It shouldn't take too long~."

Shun raised an eyebrow at that request. That wasn't quite something he expected, and it did make him wonder for the moment what brought that up. But he just nodded to that quietly for now. While he didn't want to end up spoiling Mitsu, he didn't have any plans on mistreating her. And he would hope he wouldn't end up taking her for granted.. he already almost lost her once. "Thank you. I'm sure you'll do an excellent job with this," he said quietly. "If that's all, I'll take my leave then. Oh... Do you need my number?"

Now Junko look surprised. She didn't have Shun's number already? She grabbed her eyephone and scrolled through her contacts, blinking when she didn't find Shun's number. Wow! How had she gone so long like this!? "Uh, yes..apparently..." She was about to hold her phone out for Shun to do it himself until she remembered his issues with reading. Right. "Mmm..here. Give me your phone and I'll text myself from it." That worked! And it wasn't awkward.

Nodding to that, Shun passed his phone over so Junko could give herself a text with it. When the exchange was done, he took his phone back and held it up briefly to take a quick picture of the girl so he could tie the image to her number. It made going through his contacts easier. "Thank you," he said quietly.

Junko smiled pretty for the picture but her smile fell when Shun's voice got quiet. Eh? "You okay, Shun?"
