[You know who likes shopping, too? This fashionista, here. Even world-hopping hasn't slaked her love of heading out and trying to find cute little things for herself; clothes, trinkets, accessories. What kind of model would she be if she didn't try to stay on top of things like that? Even if the fashion trends here are a little different than what she's used to - though closer to home's than the last place she was at, at least.
It's therapeutic to her, either way, so it's easy for her to tune out the crowd and just get lost in her own thoughts and assessments of things.
Until something bowls into her back, something hard shoving against the gem planted along her spinal ridge (and that's always such a weird sensation...), and -
Oh god that voice. No way. Not again.
Don't mind Yukari if she sort of jumps and takes a step or two out of the way. Even if it ends with Rise losing her balance. With that she turns to make an assessment of what happened and-
... Wait.
Why is she-]
Oh... hey, sorry! [Blink. Blink blink. No, this isn't right...] Are you alright?
