He offered to show her around the town, help her get her bearings, so to speak; helped her out with a bit of the subtler aspects of the Japanese language. She can expand on it a bit more, too.<br/></blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div><br/>And expand on it I shall  ;D<br/><br/>Basically Ishimaru has been the first reliable "contact" she had since moving with her family to Japan and in two years time she had the opportunity to meet the rest of the group as well (perhaps individually, under various circumstances - at school, business related family visits, by chance etc - that is if you want to keep the whole idea that the members of the group have just recently reunited) and form a relationship with each of the members. Being quite the social butterfly, that isn't too far-fetched. She just might know (or think she knows) Ishimaru a bit more than the rest.<br/><br/>If Mignon is ok with the idea, I suggest that Elizabeth met Fuyuko at the Cake Shop (being a sweets lover herself) and was impressed with Fuyuko's cooking skills. Elizabeth's house/mansion would be located near the Temple and the Cake Shop.<br/><br/>Coincidentally, she meets Takumi at school and takes an interest in him from a "professional" point of view - being a female Casanova herself, she finds that aspect of his personality intriguing, without having a romantical or otherwise similar interest in him. It would be interesting if they develop a competitive relationship - if Selfexiled finds the idea appealing as well.<br/><br/>Regarding Toshi, I'll expand on that a bit later, after getting a view of his complete character sheet.  :-)<br/><br/>One question though, is everyone going to the same school or different ones?<br/>
