Jiraiya took off shortly after the intercom announcement for whatever business he had, leaving Sanae to get his stuff together and wait for Joshua to arrive while mulling over exactly what the Head Doctor meant by "taking your training to the next level". Yeah. Who hadn't seen that one coming?

The knock at the door caused the barista to spring from his seat and open the door with much more enthusiasm this time around. "Hey, Josh!" He threw a really casual salute. "All ready for round two."

Joshua would notice that there was a distinct change in uniform this time: Sanae had decided to make use of the coat hanging in the closet - mostly for its pockets. Two scalpels were sitting at the bottom of one, cloth wrapped around the blades; his precious spray paint was peeking out of the other.

"I've got some good news for you too; we can talk about it on the way."
