Around an hour after Kaori was done with her breakfast, the blonde had moved to the couch, while Luvine and Kasumi were still at the table. At that point, some of the group came back. Kaori looked up from the couch she was laying on and found Ash, Keiko, Sinneah, and Yumi, all walking in with a thin layer of sweat over their skin. Ash and Keiko were wearing their regular combat gear while Yumi had on some simple Zayama-style robes. As they all saw Kaori, their eyes popped a little in a way that Kaori didn't like.
They kept looking at her as though she hadn't been there in a long time.
But it's only been... Kaori held back the urge to glare. Ugh, whatever.
"Hey," Ash greeted her with a smile that made her feel guilty at what was going through her mind. "How long have you been up for?"
"About an hour and a half," she muttered.
