[Meanwhile, Niki's pretty chill. Rinne said something about bringing his wife over, but everyone knows it's best for idols to marry when their careers are past their prime. Rinne's not even there yet, which means this is something he totally decided on his own again. Oh well. At the very least, it sounds like Rinne made a new friend. Maybe he even has a crush? That's good! If she can make it this far, maybe she knows things that even Niki doesn't know. ... That's a little strange to think about.
That said, it's not like Rinne told anybody to be on their best behavior, so Niki's just not going to worry about it.
And he's definitely not worried about it when a weird—er, young woman arrives. The cafe is kind of cute, but maybe he's just used to it. To spare her the embarrassment, Niki's just not going to comment on that. He's kind of on duty!]
Hi, hi! Oh, have I seen you somewhere before? You're in that drama with Rinne-kun, right? [He smiles a little brighter.] A table for how many?
[Now, Niki knows exactly who this is, but he's not about to collapse or ask for an autograph or whatever. He's not that interested in idols. That's Rinne.]
[ For a horrible panicked moment, Ai's brain completely fails to produce his name. She knows it's a shorter one and her brain very helpfully decides to tell her that this isn't Kohaku and then completely stall on any further identifying details. Great.
She manages to not make it obvious and instead flashes him a smile that makes it look like she isn't completely flailing on the inside. How high does 'forgetting his friends' names' rank on the Terrible Girlfriend scale? ]
That's me! Nice to know people recognise me even when I'm not in uniform, heehee. [ And then, mercifully, her brain cooperates at just the right time for her to say: ] Niki-kun, right? Rinne-kun talks about you a lot at work.
[ Complains. He complains a lot. She thinks it goes without saying, though. ]
Ah, is a table for... maybe three okay for now? I'm supposed to be meeting someone but I guess they're running a little late...
