Neko was enjoying the last day of her break, expecting a letter to come any day now. She made her way through the residential district carrying her groceries home. She was the one cooking tonight, as since they became adults Sumire and Neko had rotated themselves into the rotation to give their poor mom a break from household tasks. She was getting close to the house when she felt the warning sign of the bag breaking, the slipping away from fingers and the tearing noise of the paper. It was almost too late to catch, but she managed to do so with only a few things slipping out of the bag as she did. She placed the bag down and knelt down to grab the loose goods up off the ground mumbling to herself as she did.
She hadn't noticed him, not too far off from where she was. She might have tried not to in the back of her mind, after their last encounter she'd probably be less than enthused trying to pretend to be able to speak around him. Either way, she was busy cleaning the mess off the ground. Too busy to notice that her bottle of vinegar was rolling away slowly from her, its escape making the dinner idea she had almost impossible. She stood up and grabbed her things, heading to the door and fumbling for keys. That's when she noticed him, which naturally made the keys fumble and drop from her hand to the matt below. She swore under her breath and reached down to gran them, realizing in that moment that her vinegar was too fumbled and gone. She let out a groan and quickly tried to grab it up, now looking like a mess as she made her way back to the door, one bag in mouth scrambling to get her keys in.
Her hands were surprisingly shakey, unable to find the correct key for her front door. Sure the pen key, back door, and even the other key were no issue, but the front door key just would not stay in her hand. Eventually she put the bags down at her feet as she managed to slide the key in. A sigh of relief was all she got out before another unfortunate noise occured.*CRACK* the sound of her key snapping in the lock as she twisted it the incorrect way. Now, she was not only panicked about Roku seeing her, but also stuck. outside the hous until Sumire got home. This was just her luck, the last day this sort of thing might happen it did. Of course it did.
