[ it's been a while -- far longer than Sonico would've liked -- since she's heard that voice in person but the first syllable barely even finishes hitting her ears before she's beaming in recognition and starting to turn towards the owner. She'd known Inaba's voice anyway -- it's like Adachi's, Walker's and by now Hanna and Naomi's, a voice she feels she knows better than her own. But hearing Inaba's is a little different -- it makes her heart jump a little bit, if only because she gets to hear it so infrequently these days.
But even as she turns, something's striking her as a little wrong. That's not the kind of voice Inaba uses with family, it's the polite and slightly distant way you speak to a stranger. So her smile, though still there, dims into something a little more careful, slightly more cautious and she takes in the sight of Inaba -- not Himeko, not until she's sure -- with a bit of trepidation. ]
Um-- y--yes, of course...! Is there something wrong?
why are you this way
