[Rei had taken great pains to prepare for today. She'd arranged things with her grandfather, with her friends, and ensured on pain of death that they wouldn't be followed. The confession that she might be seriously interested in someone, even if it was a woman, had earned her Makoto and Ami's most serious support. They'd pledged to enforce her will on Usagi and Minako, who had predictably been prepared to stalk. Grandfather hadn't required even that much convincing, willingly taking the train to visit some friends up in Aomori. He understood what his granddaughter wanted, after all.

The day arrives, the appointed hour, and Yuri won't have to wait for Rei very long She's standing in the station dressed in her priestesses hakama, a driver waiting at the curb. Waving, she crosses the space between them and bows, smiling her most radiant smile.]

I'm so glad you could come, Yuri. I have a car waiting for us, but...before we go, do you need anything here? I know you must be tired, from the trip.
