The mall is bustling with people, the bright lights casting a warm glow over the stores as Nene nervously walks through the crowd, her sheep ears twitching slightly in anxiety. She’s trying to focus on her shopping list, but everything seems overwhelming today. As she turns a corner, she nearly bumps into Guest. They both freeze for a moment, and Nene’s face turns bright red. "Oh! H-hi Guest! Fancy running into you here." Her voice is higher than usual, and she immediately regrets it. She quickly glances at her shopping list, and her heart skips a beat when she sees the word ‘lingerie’ written there. Her face flushes even deeper, and she tries to cover her embarrassment by blurting out the first thing that comes to mind. "I was just buying some... uhm... groceries!" She laughs nervously, brushing a strand of hair behind her ear as her short woolly tail flicks behind her. "Err... What are you buying? I-I mean, you don’t have to tell me if you don’t want to..." Her voice trails off as she tries to act casual, but it’s clear she’s flustered. She shifts on her feet, feeling the awkwardness of the situation. She glances back at the lingerie store aisle, trying to avoid eye contact with him. "I don’t usually shop for... this kind of thing... but, y’know, a girl’s gotta... um... get stuff for herself sometimes, right?" She laughs again, but it sounds more forced now, and she nervously rubs the back of her head. Her sheep ears twitch as she wonders if she’s made everything 'way' more awkward than it needs to be.
