Yes, that was the plan.
[ She might give you a disapproving look if you drink, but also she understands the sheer embarassment. Poor Yoko. ]

Let's meet up, then! I know this nice place that serves really good tea.
Alright, it's here!
[ She sends the address of a teahouse in Non-Specified Jamjar World. ]
It shouldn't get too long to get there.

[Oh, she knows this part of Non-Specified Jamjar World. She just has to wash the upset off her face and change out of the clothes she was humiliated in before heading out. Maybe do something with a brush.]
yeah, snag us seats. i'll see you soon.

on it!!
[ Rin will absolutely be obnoxious about getting the nicest seats, if she has to. ]

[Youko only drags her feet a little getting cleaned up. She feels scuffed in that intolerable way only public humiliation can leave you, tired and weighed down. She manages to put her hair up and shrug into fresh robes, things she considers a victory. The heat in her face hasn't died down because her traitorous brain keeps replaying the event, but she has to believe that will stop at some point.
All told, it takes her 30 minutes to turn up to the teahouse Rin chose. The wave she gives her friend before heading for the table may as well have been leadened down. She hasn't cried, her eyes aren't puffy, but just a look at her as she takes her seat says it's not simmering too far beneath her exterior.]
Hey.

Hey.
[ In the meantime, Rin fidgets in the booth, waiting. She declines the waitress's offer to bring her a drink and explains she's waiting for a friend.
When Youko finally arrives, Rin instantly sees that she is not doing well. Oh no. Poor Youko. Rin plasters a smile on her face and waves back at Youko. ]
Hey! You made it!

[ Whew. Yeah, Rin isn't gonna comment on that just yet and go straight to recommending. She ponders the menu. ]
They've got these lovely small cakes that are really good. But also mochi!

[The smell of various teas mixing in the air is a bit overwhelming, so Youko tries to mitigate the feeling by picking a single point to focus on. Watching her friend ponder the menu is better than zoning out and starting to understand the thread count of their tablecloth, so that's what she chooses. The recommendations Rin makes actually manage to break through the gloom a little and pull her interest.
Perking up a bit —]
Small cakes?

[ Ahhh, look at that! Success! Somewhat, at least. Rin nods vigorously. ]
Yes, they're tiny and so, so, pretty. And delicious! The matcha strawberry is amazing.

Uhhmmmm, well... a regular green tea is good. Though I've also come to really love the various lattes they offer. You can get them with soy milk, too!
[ Please. Living with Manji has given Rin quite the tolerance for impolite behavior. ]
Oh, yeah! They have Earl Grey,but also Oolong. It's quite the eclectic mix.

[ He doesn't even entertain that with a reply. Next she'll end up calling him Nanamin too, at this rate.
But in 30 minutes, he'll be at the restaurant. Dressed in his usual suit and looking oddly put together for a man this hungover. The sunglasses help, tbh.
When he spots her, he'll head straight to the table and sit down across from her and that's when it becomes obvious just how hungover he is. He moves to take off the sunglasses but then winces at the bright light before just putting them back on. His voice is a little rough when he asks — ]
Did you already order?
