The first day passed smoothly, and ended with a tired Sakura going out for a drink with Misa. Throughout the day Misa had been helpful, explaining customs to Sakura that didn't at first make sense to her, giving her interesting information, and providing extra details about the people they met that weren't exactly useful, but at least amusing.
Sakura was beginning to think they would get on very well indeed.
They chatted companionably through the first drink, and just as they ordered a second round Misa smiled and waved at someone behind Sakura, and when Sakura turned she saw Setsuna walking through the room to meet them.
"Good evening Haruno, Misa." Setsuna greeted them with a stiff bow. Misa grinned and ordered a drink for him as well.
"Join us why don't you?" Misa asked, patting the seat beside her. "I'm sure you'd just love to pick Sakura's brain – and once she's had a few drinks, I'll bet she'll be happy to oblige." She added, winking at Sakura. Sakura couldn't help smiling.
Setsuna managed not to show any expression. Sakura thought suddenly of Shino, realizing that those two were very much alike.
"Then I'll sit and talk." Setsuna said and sat beside Misa. "If you don't mind." He added, looking at Sakura. He spoke not as though he actually cared what Sakura thought, but as if he had realized that it was something he should ask, in order to seem polite.
Sakura grinned. She found herself liking his prickly character. "I lay my brain open to you." She said with a hand gesture and a grin.
