[ Chiyo has a small hunch what that naturally means, but she's not one to press it, not when they don't know each other well and not when it's not actively making Elizabeth make poor decisions.
She smiles brightly. ]
I like you, Elizabeth!
[ She says that without a moment's hesitation. It's just something she wants to tell her.
The next moment, her hand goes up to her forehead, as she spots something in the distance. ]
[ Chiyo can just say that so earnestly and honestly and without any reservations.......!! It's enough to make her blush a little, and she's quick to mimic Chiyo's pose... ah. ]
I think you might be right. Let's hurry before it decides to leave us.
[ Come on, come on— uh, she'll take Chiyo's hand to pull her along. ...The tanuki is on that arm, but please don't mind it. ]
[ She absolutely minds, but she's not going to say anything about it. She runs at top speed With Elizabeth, and they make it on time. That or the bus driver sees them and takes pity on them.
Once the bus doors close, the tanuki disappears because it's a creature of the fog. Sorry, Elizabeth. ]
[ ELIZABETH HAS NEVER LOOKED SO OPENLY DISAPPOINTED IN HER LIFE. ]
My little friend disappeared... [ That's to be expected, it's from the fog, but still..... ] A shame. I was hoping I'd be able to bring it home and show it to my roommates somehow.
[ Chiyo only feels bad for how disappointed Elizabeth looks. She's never been so relieved to be on a bus than this month. For a second, she considers offering to show up somewhere to show her roommates, but she can't bring herself to do it. ]
If you really want to show them, I can draw a quick sketch for you?
[ It's a million times better than having to see another darn raccoon in person. She almost always has a sketchbook tucked into her bag, so it won't be a problem to draw it on the bus, but.... ]
I'll give you two options. I can do a quick one here, which you can get right away but it won't be the best since... we're on the bus. [ She's good, but she's not good enough that her lines won't be affected by a moving vehicle. ] Or I can draw you one at home and then send you a file over Retrospec? Or e-mail it to you if you want to give me your e-mail.

She's just going to smile and nod. ]

[ That's her compromise. ]

That would be wonderful. Thank you, Chiyo. [ Ah... ] If this counts as a commission, I'd be happy to give you a little money for it as well.

The latter. I'll write my email down for you.
[ She doesn't mind if Chiyo has it..! Email's great. She loves it, she wishes more people still used it outside of serious business inquiries. ]
