"What, drink tea at a coffee shop? It's kind of scandalous, I know," Yukimi said as the girl picked out the chai. He raised his camera to take a few shots. It was through the camera lens that he realized he recognized that face from somewhere.

"Hey. Fancy seeing you here." Yukimi lowered his camera and tapped his chin with his finger thoughtfully. "Econ 101, Professor Dumbledore?" The name was made-up, of course. Yukimi named all his profs funny names, because it was hard enough to sit through their boring lectures. Dumbledore wasn't half bad though, even if he did look like an ancient benevolent wizard under his cloud of salt and pepper hair.

"Agree to have my picture taken. Smarty pants," Kimina answered with a smile at the corner of her mouth. She always did appreciate a wit, and maybe especially one that aimed that wit at her; it was fun to get into banter contests. She'd never gotten into one with Yukimi before... possibly she'd been too focused on academics, and hadn't paid her social life much mind at all in college. That might have been a shame on the whole, considering college was supposed to be where you made your lifelong friends.

"I'm surprised you remember the class. You have a better memory than I do, Yukimi-san."

And Kimina had a sharp memory by and large: names, faces, deadlines, birthdays, locations... it was an asset that had served her well through her school years, helping her test scores and especially her in-class debates. It was critical there to remember not just everything said and everything desired in the rebuttal but details about news, course material, and other items of relevance to the subject of the debate. Matching a random classmate out of hundreds she'd learned with to one of the dozens of classes she'd taken years ago, however, was beyond her capacity. It was impressive that Yukimi could hang on to such an obscure and distant detail.

"I don't know, yours is pretty impressive too," Yukimi answered back. "You know my name, but I don't recall yours..." He trailed off meaningfully, hoping she might make this less awkward by filling in the blank. He might even sound a bit chagrined by the memory lapse.

Maybe the only reason he remembered her face was because she was one of the very few people in the class who actually paid Dumbledore any attention. Econ 101 was a basic core class, which meant it threw a bunch of bored college kids into huge lecture hall to teach them things they would much rather not be learning.

"Izumi. Izumi Kimina," She supplied with a smile. Yukimi sounded a little embarrassed over the lapse, but Kimina wasn't the least offended. That would just be silly.

"How is life as a reporter?" It must have taken a lot of work for Yukimi to secure that position; journalism was fiercely competitive. But in its own way, it seemed like something that could be fun as well. Or at the very least, exciting.

"Won't forget this time," Yukimi said with a grin. "As for life of a reporter, I suppose it's a lot of running around? And sometimes you get stuck with stupid gigs, but generally it pays the bills and I get to write things."

He raised his cup of coffee with a satisfied look. "Plus I get to try all the hip new places on someone else's dime. What about you? What are you up to since our good old days of college debauchery?"

[kiminaishin]

"And you get to be among the most informed of our citizens," Kimina adds. This was a serious plus in her book. She raises one eyebrow at his question, however. A feline smile plays at her lips.

"Debauchery? I'm not sure what your college years were like, Yukimi-san. Mine were too full of books and papers for hedonistic escapades-- admittedly to the detriment of the experience. I've since found work as a business analyst. I do research and consulting for firms on their profit strategies. It's thoroughly boring to most people."
