As the other girl had arrived, Asami was tapping her foot, standing there looking at the road. She wasn't so concerned with when Zephyra would arrive, but more when their driver would. She took it for granted that the redhead was punctual, but put her hands on her hips as the black vehicle crested the horizon.

She looked out of the corner of her eye at the redhead, and upon seeing her outfit turned to face her with wide eyes.

"You're wearing that?" She blinked, pointing with her palm turned up and wrist limp. She would see the girl's look of regret and embarrassment and elaborate. "I mean, not everyone can pull that off, but your figure makes it work. I have some ideas though."

She glanced over as the driver pulled up, and made a disgusted sound. He got out, greeted them, opened the door...

The ride was quiet, kpop playing low in the background, "The bookstore, take us to that big one," the driver nodded and soon they were arriving. "Okay, I'll call when we need you again, you may go," said Asami as the driver helped her out. She waved her hand at him dismissively and soon they were alone.

The Lolita started walking with purpose, more like storming toward the book store. She stopped at the door and looked at the handle, then looked at her companion, her expression was fierce. As if she had better move to open it or else.

Inside it was like a palace filled with books, Asami wandered in as if she weren't secretly impressed with the sight every time she came here and led them to the comics. As if it were no big deal she rand her finger along the spines of some Shojo titles, pulling a volume of Vampire Knight free and opening it.

"Hm." she said, looking unimpressed, even though she closed it and casually swept the volume against Zephyr's chest for her to hold and then looking around some more. "What literature interests you? I don't waste all of my time on these manga, but they are good."

Zephyra clasped her hands behind her back as she took up a stately stance beside her escort, but the question threw her off kilter and she glanced down at her attire. "Well, Lady Asami, not everyone has the figure to pull off what you wear." She easily place a sweet smile on her lips, even though her cheeks were tinted a soft pink of embarrassment. "Ideas?.." Her voice drifted off as the driver pulled up and cut off their conversation.

Once they entered the vehicle she wasn't sure how to ask, so instead she left it up to a later time to show her what the woman meant and stared out the window. She even waved off the driver's aid upon getting out of the car once they stopped and stepped out of the vehicle to follow her senior. For once the crimson haired student was thankful for her long limbs as she kept pace with the older girl when she marched toward the door. The glance Asami gave her was plenty of incentive to guide the door back so she could pass inside. Zephyra even gave a little flourish, the first year gave a shallow bow, sweeping her arm over her stomach as she grinned.

She loved her new home, but it was nice to be out and away from all the gossip and squeals. Her bright gaze swept over the place, taking in every aspect that she could while still keeping up with the ever determined and focused Asami. Her arms were once more clasped in a comfortable position behind her back while scanning the titles of the books they passed by.

A soft sound of surprise passed her lips as she felt the book touch her chest and she automatically reached up to take it. She glanced at the cover and blinked. This wasn't exactly what she had expected Lady Asami to retrieve at the bookstore.. Interesting. Zeph tucked the book against her body and continued to pace after the smaller female. "Historic fantasies have caught my fancy lately. I'm working on a compilation of Homer's works right now. Greek mythology and lore fascinate me."

The redhead tipped her head slightly as she looked at the book in her hand once more. "I've never read a.. man-ga before." Her brow wrinkled a bit as she stumbled over the word, her foreign lit made the word a bit hard to pronounce at first. "It is difficult?" She flipped through a few pages of the book, only to find them covered with beautiful drawings and blurbs. "Oh my.. The drawings are breath taking. Do they all look like this?" The clueless girl finally glanced up from the book to the other.

"Some. I find some manga-ka (manga artists) are more talented than others, and story has a lot to with it. They say these are for children but I'll do as a please. Judgment of others has no affect. However your choice seems reasonable," She turned on her heel, leading the way to another section.

"I've read this one," she said pulling a volume of Greek romance from the shelf, "The story about Eros and that human girl is...well disappointing, but worthy of reading anyway, it's a collection of all the famous Greek romances, but written as short stories. And this," she pulled Shakespeare's 'Venus and Apollo' from the shelf, "is rather amusing, Venus tries to convince Apollo to love her, but he's so not interested."

Adding the two other volumes to Zephyr's arms, she turned, leading them off to various sections, choosing novels from the teen section, books of poetry, books on lolita, and various other books until Zephyra was carrying not a ridiculous, but a substantial stack, not to mention any books she may have chosen for herself.

Asami may have only come for the newest manga volume, but she was leaving with much more, as it was any time she went shopping with her limitless bank card.

She waved the small black card at her companion, "Shall we go? Or did you want to stop for bubble tea?"

"It doesn't seem very child like to me.. Some of those scenes were pretty graphic." Zephyra once again tucked the book against her chest and followed after her senpai, but not before grabbing a random manga from the shelf that had a number one printed on the spine. Her crimson hues swept over the titles they walked past until Asami drew her attention once more.

"I've.. never really read any romance stories." She turned the book in her hand and glanced over the covers. "Just the battle strategies and demigod myths so far." The girl started stacking the books by size, keeping them all in one arm with ease while the other dangled at her side. Every once in a while, her fingers would twitch listlessly as she fought putting her hand in her pocket.

A few other titles grabbed her attention and she slid those from the shelf as well to add to the growing pile in her arms. At least she would have spare reading material for a while without having to go to that library where she always heard ghosts moaning in the far corners. Even the thought made her shiver and clutch the books more tightly to her chest.

It was Asami's voice that drew her from her spooky thoughts and she smiled vibrantly, head canting to the side and eyes narrowing slightly. She shifted the weight of the books from one arm to the other. "Tea sounds wonderful, Asami-sama."
