It's been a tense time for them - surely everyone - but Konoe keeps himself fairly composed on the way there. Taking walks with Asato is enjoyable even without a destination, though this one is quieter than most.

He encourages Asato to lead the way today, for the sake of getting to the gardens on time. It allows him to follow behind slightly, too, and gather his thoughts together before things get rolling. Netherlands gave him a lot to think about earlier.

And while he knows Heather as a friend of theirs, she's still someone he hasn't met in person, even after such time. Shyness over reintroductions and this meeting's purpose alike keep him fairly quiet, too. On arrival the end of his tail shakes slowly, while he keeps to Asato's side and listens out for her.

He turns to Asato before they step into the planned spot, pulling his communication device out from his bag, "You brought yours, right?"

While he's seen some improvement in his typing - the whole goal of his last message - he's felt it would be better if they could both use the things to the best of their ability. And doing things together again feels important.

"I asked Heather to show us how to do new things with them."
