"Yeah, something like that." Ruri glanced over at Kitt with a warm smile. Any time she heard the phrase 'California girl', that stupid Beatles song played in her head. She didn't really care for the song or the group but it was hard to fight such a strong association when you lived in California.
She continued down the block and then turned down a smaller street that lead to her home. The area shifted from the city-eqsue feel to a homey small community kind of air. There were a few people outside and they all waved to Ruri as she walked by. Ruri didn't know anyone well but she'd lived in this house her whole life and she made sure to smile and wave at those who lived near her.
"It's just over here." She looked over at Kitt with another smile. Maybe she was smiling too much. "I'm glad. I mean, not that he'll get over it or that your friend is waiting but that you're going to stay for tea."
Ruri didn't usually have company.
She paused at her front gate and carefully flicked open the latch to let them inside. The house had mixed styles between Japanese and Western architecture. "If you don't mind taking off your shoes at the front door? My house is a little weird." She stepped inside and held the door open for Kitt. He'd be able to see tatami mats in the two main rooms and a few sliding paper doors as well as a few traditional wooden doors. The house was a mismatch of styles.
The family room had a couch as well as a kotasu table at it's center. There was a TV and a small draw beneath it that was filled with movies. In the corner of the room was a desk that was piled with papers around a small laptop.
"The kitchen is through here but it's kind of small. If you don't mind setting down the bags and waiting in the family room? I can get the tea started."
