Serving as the centerpiece of the first floor, the Yagyu estate has an open kitchen that overlooks the lake outside. The counter-tops are a foresty-green granite, the cabinets are a rich cherry wood. Counter-tops circle the outer part of the kitchen, with bar stools tucked underneath should anyone wish to sit and chat with drinks, or flirt with socialize with the hostess while she's setting out refreshments.
One counter-top is dedicated to refreshments - various snacks of international cuisine are offered, from French to Japanese, to American and Italian. Most items are hor d'oeuvres in presentation, allowing people to mingle with their different finger-foods. Drinks are available on the back balcony.
[Touma smells food so that's where he is. He doesn't happen to have a date even though he was told to get one. Mostly because he got distracted by other things.
Now...look at all the different things to eat here...]
[You'll have to pardon Makoto, it's not very often that she gets to eat someone else's fantastic food so she'll be eating some of this and a little of that...and a whole lot of whatever that is! She's not as bad as Usagi, but boy does she like to eat when it's available, her appetite can be man-sized too...

............and now she will take a moment to breathe! She thinks she's alone so it's okay to talk to herself right? Sure! Even Steve said it was okay!]
Ah, really? [how familiar, fortunately Makoto is used to being compared to guys, but it's kind of an embarrassing situation] Well, I guess it's because I usually do the cooking so it's not very often I do much eating...and I've had a bigger appetite lately since people are a lot kinder than I'm used to...
[Kind of hard to resist the typical Makoto urges, but the sempai trigger in the back of her brain is threatening to go off] So! My name is Kino Makoto...after a scene like that I guess introductions are a must, huh?
Ah? My parent's died when I was very young so I had to learn how to take care of myself early on...I'm really good with domestic things and protecting myself. School is my problem area...oh...
[Fortunately Makoto is very chatty and personable so she'll reach out and shake his hand too while she's at it...strong grip for a girl you may notice.] Nice to meet you Hashiba-san! Do you...do you live here?
[This really is like talking to a female Shuu. So he handles the talking and the hand shake really well.] I live in Osaka actually. But I come to see Nasuti when I can.
Ha! Now that reminds me of someone I know, a friend of mine, Ami-chan. She spends a lot of her time studying, playing chess, or reading...she's super nice. I switch schools so often so it's really hard for me to get settled in and focused.
Nasuti? So it's your friends house...I've never seen a house that's so big. She must be kind, letting people visit like this. I hope I get the chance to meet her...

It's a female version of Shuu.

Surprise. And the food gets stuck in the wrong pipe.
Choke.
And she doubles over, grabbing the edge of the counter dramatically.
Backslap, water, anything...what's the universal sign for choking again?]

Are you alright? Can you breathe?

Breathing again just fine she clears her throat.]
Haha...yeah, I'm fine, I'm fine...you just scared me a li-
[Turns around to get a look at her rescuer and she can feel herself go red from the roots of her hair to the tips of her toes.
What is this guy?
More importantly why was she doing something stupid in front of him]
-ttle...ah...hi?

[Touma blinks a bit then smiles.]
It looks like you're alright now.

[Lame attempt at playing it off is very lame]
So...so before that [gives a slight wave because there's no reason to relive the scenario] you said something...sorry, I didn't quite catch it.

I don't know where Nasuti is right now but you'll probably see her eventually.
