Yeah? Come on, don't tell me you missed me or anything.
[ It's a teasing tone, a little more joking than Tadashi is used to hearing from her. It's a useless question, after all; someone who leaves but does not go has no heart to be missing anybody, and even if Ruka left twice-over while Tadashi was around before, they weren't exactly close. That was more her own doing, her own failings than any fault of his, of course — Ruka hardly wanted to be known back then, forget like, forget cared about.
She was pitiable, and he was always too kind for his own good, and she was too selfish for anyone's good. And, so, friends, in a way, but it's hard to imagine anyone actually missing her.
Ruka orders her drink — something strong, and fussy, and not too sweet; once Tadashi picks what he wants, she'll lead them to one of the wall-pressed tables, taking the chair that will leave the cafe visible on her good side. A tendency as natural as breathing. ]
It takes time to adjust, [ she says, easing her chair forward, letting her arms cross and rest along the edge of the table, ] so... it'll probably feel overwhelming, for longer than you'd like.
