Culture Clash
They had been in the United States for only a few days and while the sights were lovely and she had enjoyed the food far more than she anticipated, Kikuya was a little tired. Walking in Western shoes was different and made her use her muscles differently for starters, but some of the comments that had been made wore on her.

During a break in the day, Kikuya sat in a far corner of a Starbucks waiting for Amiko, contemplating what sort of treat she might get for Grogg as she sat.
