[ WELL SHE HAD A BAKERY BOX THOUGH. WHAT WAS HE SUPPOSED TO THINK. ]
Oh, not at all! If anything, it's more like he's taking care of me.
[ That's false, obviously, but this is a meaningless social nicety, not a sworn testimony. (In fact, Minato and Jamie are more or less evenly matched when it comes to their cavalier approach to personal wellness, adequate sleep, balanced meals, etc. It's even theoretically possible that their shared weaknesses are a negative influence on one another's habits, and that continuing to live together will have a detrimental effect on both of them... Then again, maybe not!) ]
Minato's not home right now, I'm afraid. Can I offer you something to drink, though? I think there's orange juice.
Oh no, thank you, but I'm fine. I only wanted to drop that off and say hello to you. I wasn't sure if Minato had mentioned me, so I thought I should introduce myself.
[And prove to him that she could gain entry into his apartment by bribing his roommate. Though in this case it's more of an appeal to his manners, but hey, same difference!]
[ Ooohh... she's sneaky... but Jamie didn't do anything Minato asked him not to, plus he gets melon bread out of it, so there's no way he could regret it. ]
Yes, I am. I'm a premed sociology major... this is my junior year, so I'm getting ready for the MCAT. What about you?
Ooh, that's the big one for you guys, isn't it? for Good luck to you! [She clasps her hands behind her back, rocking on her heels a bit.] I used to be a Criminology and Psychology major, but I decided to switch to Management earlier this year. It suits me much better.

Nice to meet you, Jamie. I'm Minako Arisato! I just wanted to drop some melon bread off for you and Minato.
[She holds out the bakery box to him, beaming.]

It's melon bread!!
[ now there's a full second of silence. ]
Oh! You're...
Oh, gosh! It's so nice to meet you!
[ He bows! (He's American, but he knows more or less how to behave In the Japanese Style, and he's pretty sure she grew up there or whatever.)
Still bowing, he reaches out and takes the box. ]

It's nice to meet you too! I've been wanting to meet you since my brother told me about you. He's a finicky guy, but please take care of him.
