A (very unexpected) birthday party
[Action; Hikawa Shrine (backdated to 6/9)]
[ Eli had been cooking up something for quite some time now. It was hard not to notice, with much of her time outside of work taken up by "other important things," as the blond put it. Nozomi was smart, she had an idea of what it could be, but somehow in her own mind she came up with reason for that to not be the case.
Her birthday wasn't really that important. It was just another day, after all. She would probably work the shop, maybe pick up a cake for everyone to share with dinner. It would be somewhat business as normal.
But that morning, she was woken up with a kiss and directions to get dressed. They were going somewhere. The shop would be taken care of. Confused, she put on a new dress and went along with Eli's grand plan.
It became clear that she was being led to the Hikawa Shrine, but still somewhere in her mind she came up with reasons other than the obvious. Rei needed her for something, and called on Elichi instead. Was there some sort of event going on? Was Rei out maybe? That was the most common reason for her to help out. Rei's grandfather was getting up there in years, and while he would never admit it himself, there were times when he needed help as his granddaughter went traveling with Ami and Makoto.
Needless to say, she was none the wiser.
The shrine seemed relatively the same as it always did on the outside. The surprise was waiting inside. ]

Oh, I did get you something.
[A pause and she pulls something out of her shadow. A small box, and there may or may not be a Gengar smile hidden in the shade.]
no subject
[ Nozomi is more than used to Gengar shadow shenanigans at this point, and doesn't so much as bat an eyelash to it. Taking the box thankfully, she begins to unwrap and open it. ]

I thought with you taking your spiritual training more seriously, a new robe would be fitting. Only I didn't know your sizes, so...there you have it.

I've been thinking about going on a retreat like Mayocchi, so this'll help a lot. Thank you.
no subject
[A beat.]
Why...is Maya mayonnaise?
no subject
Why is she... what?

I've always called her that.

[Trying to recover that awful joke, okay?]
