Well... things weren't going TERRIBLY at least...
Her talks with Mosa Sensei and Angelica and, well, a few passing conversations in UA chat had all lead her towards a similar place in her life. After enough talk she’d realized that as cute as her time had been with Red, how supportive he’d been when she was screwing up or the world was screwing up around her… well she wasn’t someone who could do the same for him with how he handled things. He’d went from a bit of a dunce, a cute one at least to… paranoid, self-centered, mentally damaged and… a few other adjectives she didn’t really care to think about right now. Suffice to say as shitty as she felt she still felt she’d made the right choice. Now and then she’d get a twinge to call him or even call Feng just to ask how he was holding up, see if he’d gone on one of his ‘walks’ since their breakup or something but… no. No she couldn’t do that to herself most of all. She knew how easily she empathized with people and how difficult she found it to let someone go at the end of the day. Cold turkey… as hard as it was, was the best solution here. Probably for both of them with how much of a crutch Yumi seemed to be for him towards the end there…
…Ugh. She felt like she was a horrible person for-
No. Ugh can’t go down that rabbit hole. She lightly tapped her knuckles against her forehead. She just had to get to her new place and shut off. Sure she still had a bit of unpacking and re-arranging to do for the next few days but she had her mattress out and her bed sheets got washed last night so she’d have a nice cozy bed to come home to and just switch off for at least a little bit. She wasn’t exactly exhausted but a day of some photographer telling her to ‘brighten up’ for the next Asta fashion line shoots had hardly left her in a sound mood.
She let out a heavy sigh through her nose and lifted her face from her hand… a lot of the city was still unexplored to her, and with the new home to walk back to she was cutting through a few streets that were unusual to her. Her eyes drifted about catching the new signs, especially one she was just about to pass, glancing through the window to what lay inside… rows and displays of small and large confectionary treats… her stomache didn’t growl but she still felt a strong pull from it. She could indulge her cravings just fine due to her quirk but in the hopes of ‘being good’ she’d tried to cut out some of her larger habits in her first year. A true pig out on sweets had been off her menu for a long time and… well, if there was ever a time to become a cliché and eat her feelings now was probably it.
She glanced down to her satchel where she kept her wallet. It wasn’t like she was hurting for money or anything thanks to Sonya’s generosity in her sponsorship… she could maybe buy like… a whole cake and just take a slice a day… or two… ugh what if this was how she learned her quirk couldn’t burn up her fat like it used to. A mild blush hit at that thought but ultimately she realized she was just giving herself excuses to not indulge herself… this could be good. Why resist it? With a slow breath she’d push against the door, glancing around inside. The owner seemed to be in the back or something leaving Yumi to just examine the cakes with slightly downcast eyes.

kaij-omfort food THE CROCODILIAN KAIJU WAS ON HER OWN TODAY-- it was a little too early for the evening part-timer’s to show-up and staff the counters, but late enough that traffic was starting to pick-up, albeit marginally. The selection in the cases was still rather ample. The bell above the door rang, heralding the arrival of a customer. Teruko was shuffling some confectionaries in the fridge between bakery-area and front-area, but glanced over her shoulder to offer a greeting.
“Welcome in!” she called chipperly, “I’ll be with you in just a moment!”
She saw a shock of long, bright red hair. Hopefully they weren’t in too much of a hurry—this would only take a moment.
Carefully, the woman moved the cakes forward, her well-muscled arms doing their best to avoid the frosting and the like. Since Wednesdays were generally slow, it wasn’t too difficult to maneuver the case. Finally satisfied, the woman let the glass door slide shut, turning carefully to face and approach the display-case where the young woman stood.
“Welcome to the Kaiju Cakery,” Teruko said lightly, rubbing her hands together. The girl seemed to be surveying her options, “If there’s anything that I can help you with, please let me know.”
A canned greeting, at any rate, followed by a slightly more personal.
“How is today treating you, miss?”
It was still slow, so Teruko could afford to chat-up the customers more than she usually had the luxury of doing.

Yumi glanced up briefly as she heard the chime of someone’s voice, smiling warmly as she returned- “Oh don’t rush I was just on my way home and thought I’d take a look you er… you really don’t have to worry much.” She was still trying to motivate herself into walking out of this place with some sort of confectionary in hand but she also wasn’t the most certain she’d achieve that goal. A part of her already felt bad for bothering this woman with her little cake store, feeling she might just be a bother or a time waster if she walked out of here with nothing in hand. Her amber eyes briefly drifted back to the cakes before the mass of grey-black scales caught her attention. Against her better judgement she found herself caught off guard and staggering back a half step upon seeing the store owner.
“…o-oh crap I didn’t mean to… erm… s-sorry I just wasn’t expecting…” She gulped and quickly bowed her head. “S-sorry for the reaction I was just caught off guard.” She had a deep, embaressed blush on her cheeks. You think going to UA would prepare you for running into all sorts of people but it seemed the odd mutation here and there was still gonna catch her off guard. The sweet words and offer of help definitely weren’t doing much to help. They were nice and showed the woman was especially kind but… well her brain was having a rough time trying to combine the sound she was making to the image she was providing in her head, hoping to god she wasn’t just being more insulting as she clearly took a second to process this.
“W-well I erm…” Still feeling largely rude and apologetic for her slip of staggering in the woman’s presence, she took a slow breath and rubbed the back of her neck. “Its er… been a rough day I guess… or week… or… month….ssss….” She let out a loose, self deprecating chuckle. “I guess I was just looking to indulge my sweet tooth with something that won’t make me feel too regretful about it later… any suggestions?”
Probably the most miserable request for aid she’d ever given someone working a store counter in her life buuuut… it got the need across. Probably something that wouldn’t rest too heavy on her stomache but still enough to indulge herself with.

kaij-omfort food THERE WAS A DISTRACTED "NO RUSH" so Teruko didn’t—not that her stature allowed for any rushing, anyways. The girl didn’t seem too certain that she’d buy something anyways. Ah, a window-shopper. That was fine too. With pastries of American and European persuasions, each artfully made to look attractive, people who “just looked” were alarmingly common. Particularly when the bakery was just across the street from The Gym.
Equally commonplace was the girl’s bewilderment when she finally glimpsed the kaiju behind the counter. She stepped back. Terukos’ brows leapt from over her golden eyes, a smile quirking at her lips. At least she was polite about her faux-pas’s, bumbling an apology.
“Not expecting a kaiju at the Kaiju Cakery?” Teruko supplied patiently, her amusement clear, “You’re good, kid. Happens all the time.”
Even if the young woman wasn’t actually a kid, Teruko was reaching that stage in life when everyone felt like a kid compared to her.
Teruko leaned on the top of the case, inclining her head. That at least brought her down to a… slightly more standard height. Almost. It was hard to really make two-and-a-half meters “small”.
“Ah, I’m sorry to hear that life’s gettin’ you down,” the kaiju remarked, her tone earnest. Not the first person to drown their sorrows in junk food, wouldn’t be the last, “I’m sure things will turn-up with time. They always do.”
She winked and redirected her attention towards the case.
“Let’s see, suggestions…” Teruko mused, tapping a claw against her chin, “I guess… that depends on what strikes your fancy… if you want something ‘fresh’ and ‘light’, we have a number of fruit tarts… the lemon blueberry white chocolate is my favorite, of those. The fresh fruit tart is also good. If you’re feeling more… chocolate… we’ve got the chocolate indulgence torte—very deadly, tiramisu, or the molten lava cake. The molten lava cake is very rich, with a molten center, but it’s a smaller portion than most of the things I serve.”
She seemed to be a decently trim young woman, so maybe recommending other lighter fares was best?
“The lemon bars or chocolate-dipped strawberries are also pretty good,” Teruko offered.

Despite Teruko being on board with her reaction, seemingly used to it in fact, Yumi bowed her head again with an extra apology, and once again beyond that just to be absolutely sure, letting out a deep sigh and a muttered 'Sorry' once again. She knew that everything was okay but given she worked alongside some mutation quirkers it was still deeply embaressing to have had that reaction when dealing with a member of the public. Really she was sure she wouldn't have done that normally but... boy was she in a state today. She could use a snack like this.
As the older seeming woman was still set out to doing her job though Yumi let her eyes drift across the confectionary options and linger when she mentioned white chocolate. Oooo that was always her fave, and you never saw white chocolate cake for some reason... was it the consistancy? Did it not melt properly? It was a curious thing to think about and she'd definitely have to consider that being worth a google later but at least this one was an option for her. She definitely wasn't feeling fruit though... maybe something a little richer like a cheesecake or that molten centered chocolate cake...
She noticed the offer of the simpler options though, and caught the fact that Teruko seemed to have briefly glanced over her, blushing a little. "O-oh erm... I'll actually take some chocolate strawberries but I could do with some cake as well... I-I don't really need to worry too much about my weight. I'm a UA student so... well if I don't work it off by the end of next week my teachers are doing their job wrong." She let out a playful chuckle, rubbing the back of her neck. "Erm... I know it's not really the occassion but do you have any birthday cakes? I should probably hold back but hearing you mention all those cakes I'm suddenly wanting something a little... overwhelmingly sweet, ehehe..."

kaij-omfort food AS THE GIRL BOWED APOLOGETICALLY at the counter, the woman dismissively waved her hand from side-to-side, as if to clear the air.
"It's fine," the woman breathed patiently.
Apparently her attempt at humor had fallen flat. Ah well. The poor thing seemed pretty emotionally prone, as it was. So the woman let it settle.
Additionally, Teruko's attempt at anticipating the girl's needs was just shy of the truth-- she didn't need to watch her weight, as a student of U.A. With such low enrollment, you didn't encounter too many U.A. students. Teruko did, however, employ one.
"Oh, a U.A. student? Really?" she asked brightly, "What year are you?"
Perhaps she was a classmate of Teruko's employee? The girl's inquiry gave the kaiju pause, as she retrieved the tongs for the chocolate strawberries from a cup near the display case.
"We have a number of cakes… is it your birthday?"
There was a mischievous glint in the crocodilian's eye as she said this. It was clear that the gears were turning in her mind.
“How many strawberries would you like?”
The woman would stand, tongs at the ready, until the girl prompted her with a number. She would then put a few extra chocolate-dipped strawberries into the container.
She seemed like a nice girl who was in a low mood, and chocolate strawberries were easy to make.

Yumi gave a somewhat sheepish smile as she tried to let her nerves ease up, in days, weeks, months to come she’d end up a much more confident girl but today of all days she was feeling a little raw to say the least, letting out a bit of a shaky breath even as she tried to ease up and relax, watching the Godzilla of a woman prepare some of the chocolate strawberries for her. That’d be a nice treat right? Not too unhealthy as far as she was aware but a nice little indulgence at least. Hearing the questions about her student work she tried to give a brighter smile and respond quite openly… despite the er… climate, of things.
Cough kidnappings cough cough.
“I’m a third year Miss. Just started the year practically but closer to graduating than most.~” She dipped her head without a full bow this time, just more a ‘I hereby present myself, pleased to meet you’ esque gesture that made her smile a little more for making it. At the question of her birthday however, she blushed a little and shook her head.
“Heheh, not so lucky on that front, still about half a year off… just er…” She rubbed the back of her neck, feeling she shouldn’t vent to a stranger but a slither of context never hurt while they were just making conversation right? “Comfort food. Been a er… rough week let’s say. Suppose that kinda client probably keeps you in business though huh? Lets me feel a little better.~” She tried to playfully joke it off, it was a little awkward sure but she felt at least a slither better for making the joke than she maybe would have otherwise. “You get many birthday requests?” She asks out of sheer idle curiosity.
Asked to specify her order, she looked to the strawberries again, just trying to get a judgement of their size... "5?" That seemed reasonable, she wasn't even sure if that was a good or bad amount. She was typically bad at judging food portions though. Whenever she made herself food at home she always made herself enough fries that it was a meal on it's own even without the burger or other 'main attraction' she had with it. When the woman added a few more, Yumi did get a little nervous again. "A-wait no I said 5. S-sorry."
