It had been several months since Tomoko and Miko had last seen each other, what with Tomoko having to focus almost exclusively on her studies (the almost being because she still had crimefighting on the side), while she was sure Miko had been dealing with the fustercluck that was all these strange disasters and widespread death that occurred recently. When she had managed to find the time, the student finally managed to work up the courage to ask Miko out on a date.
Waiting out in front of the cafe that they had decided to meet, she sat at one of the outdoor tables patiently, waiting for her girlfriend (they were at the point they could call each other that, right?) to arrive.

Miko was nervous as hell. Not only because she was finally going out with Tomo for the first time in too-goddam-long, but also because Chief Nakagawa had forbidden her to bring her Driver. It was leisure, not business, and the two shouldn't mix, he'd said. So she was out in the open, wearing a strapless black dress she actually quite liked, without any way to defend herself. The only thing that calmed her was that Tomo was going to be with her. She arrived at the cafe and looked around, before seeing Tomo and walking over to her. "Hey." She had no idea of anything else to say, so she kept it simple.

"Hey," she replied back, almost just as unsure what to say. It didn't help that the black dress Miko had decided to wear stunned her, and suddenly she felt underdressed, as all she wore was a plain red shirt and some jeans; formal wear was something her closet lacked. "It's been a while, hasn't it?" she asked her, trying to start up a conversation.

"It really has. Work's been a mess, with all this crazy stuff happening all over the world." Miko sighed, slumping into a chair across from Tomo. "Wanna get something to drink?"

"I can imagine... Everything's been hell lately," Tomoko responded. "I wouldn't mind drinks. I'm paying, so just go and get whatever you'd like!"

Miko's face lit up at that, and she got up and walked to the bar. She ordered a cocktail for herself and Tomo, and walked back a few minutes later, handing Tomo hers. "How has your life been lately? Besides hell?"

"Let me think about that... nope, been hell all over. Even with all these disasters, I've had to study, and study, and study some more..." she said. "I mean, being a science major is a piece of cake for me, but it's boring!" she whined before she took a large gulp of the cocktail.

"Sometimes boring is good. I had to fight some crazy-ass monster with all these tentacles and stuff that was kidnapping people just last week. Let me tell you, one woman with a sword and several Zectroopers does not fate well against creepy tentacles from all over the place." Miko shuddered remembering the fight. She'd taken a two-hour long shower, and still didn't feel clean for two days.

"...Ick. I don't think I want to know about that..." she told her, finishing off her drink and flagging for another. "Still, when your professors expect you to know every damn thing there is to know..."

"True. I can imagine that's not much fun." Miko said, finishing her own cocktail. She decided not to get another one quite yet; she needed her wits about her. Old soldier habits die hard.

Tomoko sighed. "And then there's the crimefighting," she said. "I mean, I don't mind it, but it's mostly been solitary SHOCKER guys lately..."

"At least you're not fighting the world itself."

"I suppose... You should take a break, honestly," she told her, frowning. "I'm worried for you."

"I really probably should. But I need the money." Miko said with a sigh. It pained her to say it, but she really couldn't afford to take a day off. She was receiving just barely enough money to pay rent, especially in the aftermath of the catastrophe. Hopefully, things would normalize and her income would rise once more, but she didn't hold out hope.

"If there's an issue, you can always just move in with me and Satomi..." Tomoko replied, putting a hand on her Miko's shoulder.
