Kori and Yuki continued their back and forth banter between bites of their food, stopping only when it seemed that the young man was going to speak, no doubt to answer Yuki's comment about the treatment he received from his brothers. He was interrupted, however, by a sudden change in the air. The two girls shivered, then looked at one another. Kori frowned, nodding to the look in her sister's eyes, which told her that she was worried about this change. What was causing it? She wondered, but she had no answer, outside of the fact that it was nothing good. She then looked around the room, noticing that they weren't the only ones who had noticed the change. Several other patrons seemed to have experienced a sort of chill, and the woman who ran the bar, along with her sons, also seemed to notice. This couldn't mean anything good.<br/><br/>A few moments later, the woman approached them and asked how they were enjoying their meal. "It's excellent, thank you!" Yuki was quick to respond in a cheerful voice, hiding the worry she felt. "The sake was a nice touch," she added with a smile. Kori heard the question but said nothing, nor did she bother to smile or even acknowledge the words. Her attention was focused not on the woman, but whatever was outside the walls of this bar, a small frown on her face. She could feel it. It felt as though something were pounding on the walls of the bar. Evidently the woman also felt it, as she glared at the entrance.<br/><br/>"What do you suppose is causing this?" she asked the older woman curiously. Could she have continued talking about the food? Sure. But why would she? Whatever was out there, whatever was going on, it was big and it felt ominous. She couldn't shake the feeling that something bad was coming. She couldn't just ignore it. Yuki gave her a look, but she ignored it. If the woman could feel it, then there was no harm in asking. Not really. "Honestly. You're as straightforward as ever. One day you should really consider learning proper social etiquette or some social skills," Yuki sighed, shaking her head a little.<br/><br/>"Why?" Kori asked, quirking a brow. "Because! If you go around ignoring people and speaking so bluntly, no one is ever going to like you," Yuki answered and Kori shrugged. "Is that a problem?" Kori asked once more, to which Yuki dropped her head and sighed. "I guess not. Still, you could at least try not to embarrass me with your lack of social skills," Yuki added, gaining another slightly confused look from Kori. "Why does it embarrass you? Does it really matter that much?" she asked in response, but Yuki just shook her head, her shoulders drooping in a defeated manner. "Nevermind."<br/><br/>"Whatever. I hardly think this is the time for social lessons. I think there are more important things to think about. My lack of social skills, as you call it, is nothing new," Kori reminded her sister. "Yeah, I guess. I wonder what that was... It didn't feel like anything good," Yuki replied, turning her own gaze to the entrance.
