Little did the Shimada know that she was projecting her scepticism onto Tsuru and that the poor healer happened to be mentioning her- or rather their- feats with pride, innocently, with no ulterior intent. She found herself gravitating to the apartments, almost as though she had lost control of her own feet. Luckily, she noticed a man, with his head flopped into his hand. He stood by the entrance and she redirected herself towards him, instead of towards the sign.
She didn't really have a game plan, but trusted that something would come up and she'd be able to avoid offering blatant evidence that she was considering moving out of the Rune Knight barracks and away from her partner. 'Hey! You! You look like you have a good head on your shoulder! Mind helpin' me?' the man said leaning against that framed the threshold of the apartment. Aki relaxed visibly as she waited for Tsuru.
