The hand holding her empty juice box reached up and rested on Selina's back as she returned the hug. "Hey...Selina," she replied with a faint smile. Not that Selina could see it right now since they were hugging, but if she had looked out of the corner of her eye she might have. It was good to see Selina again, and she felt foolish that they hadn't seen each other immediately after she had arrived back in London. Then again, Kurumi hadn't exactly announced she had come back and her chance meetings with people had been just that, chance.

Funny how the only two people she had seen were Jonathan and Lewis.

Kurumi gave Selina another tight squeeze before pulling back a bit, surprisingly keeping herself together. Her conversation with Lewis had helped a lot. More than she had realized until now, and it was nice to not just cry the moment she had any sort of comforting touch from her friends.

Kurumi had something she wanted to show Selina, and that something was currently clutched in her other hand, but she couldn't just shift conversation to that right away. It would be awkward, right? Not that Selina and Kurumi were ever that awkward around each other. The most awkward they had been was when Selina had come to her home over the summer and they had talked...about stuff. Then, and only then, the two girls had felt a tension that you could cut with a knife in each other's presence. While Kurumi had hated it then, she was glad that the two of them were close enough that, even after all those words had been said, the two of them could go on being best friends. Just as it should be.

"You...ready for another term?"
For a moment Selina was really enjoying the nice hug moment that she and Kurumi were sharing. She tried to show all of the love she felt for her best friend/sister/lion in that hug. Then she felt an awkward pressure on her back and she pulled her head away from the hug to see what it was- a juice box. Perhaps, she should have double checked if Kurumi was holding anything before she attacked her best friend was a hug. Although, she had not seen the juice box to be fair and she also wanted to give Kurumi the hug regardless so to each his own.

However, just the sight of the juice box made Selina chuckle. It was so typical of them to be so awkward with even the most conventional and simple things like a hug. But she had missed Kurumi so much she did not complain. It was so brilliant to see her. Merlin, she did not even understand how much she had missed her until that moment.

Then Kurumi pulled away from the hug and asked the most tentative question. The girl was obviously still feeling the affects of what had occurred that summer, but she did not want to make it worse so she did not press the issue. Instead, she answered Kurumi's question with a quiet and calm air, "Yeah I'm excited. It's a big year, but I think I'm ready. What about you?". Code for, how are you?
