[Though confused, Naoto watched, but was quick to note how the crowd became entranced. Madhuri must be able to choose whom to affect since she was still looking around, taking note of the produce to grab.]
[Taking advantage of both diversion and height, Naoto slipped through the crowd, keeping her paths direct with some altercation to avoid interrupting their concentration, grabbing items an making silent purchases as she went. Maybe Madhuri could slip her shopping list into that song and she could grab what she needed.]
[It began with a bob of the head, then a tap of the foot. But as Madhuri hopped down from her perch and continued to play, the shoppers began to slowly sway and dance.
But... yes, it was there, those odd lyrics: A small ham, a citrus fruit, cherries and potatoes, fresh greens...
Who knew what the song was about? Gosh. But Naoto was an effective little rogue, slipping through the crowds to make her selections.]
[Seemed like no one else noticed how strange the lyrics were either, but Naoto carefully continued maneuvering around, collecting a small ham, citrus fruit, cherries, potatoes, greens... anything else Madhuri sung that was on her list was grabbed with Naoto returning to the entrance after.]
[She even shimmied her way to the consoles and offered her stored Chroma to pay for the items taken.
The voices in the store lifted as she moved for the exit, bringing her song to a close. A lively strumming and a whip of her tail later, and a show-stopper melted back into reality.
The people resumed their shopping experience as if nothing happened, even if a few faces were flushed. Madhuri beamed at Naoto.]
[But she casually swept her hair behind her shoulders.]
...Would you like to? Thanks to the way we possess this Chroma, we're able to learn a little something from each other should we bear some form of magic naturally.
Perhaps you don't wish for your lover to dance uncontrollably, of course, but there are perks to having a magic voice, should you seek the opportunity.
[But she trailed, thinking. Kanji's new Sanguis form gave him a new, rather - ah - alluring quality to his voice. Not that it normally wasn't, but there had to be a new part of the blessing arousing her further.]
... I... suppose there's no harm in trying something new.

...Thank you, sweetheart!

[She held up Madhuri's shopping bag for her to take if she wanted right then and there.]

[She tapped her cheek with a smile.]
Yours, actually, is a very lovely voice. Do you sing?

I don't.

[She tip-tapped away on her device and submitted contact information.]
Give me a buzz whenever you're ready. Until then, you've got groceries to hurry back to your festivities, as do I.

That won't be necessary. I haven't practiced in a while since coming here, but I can play piano and violin.
[But yes, that last point was fair.]
Right. I need to get back; otherwise, this won't be ready later.

Of course. Do take care!

You as well. Enjoy your evening.
[And off she'll go.]
