It was sunny, but not sunbathing weather. That meant the park he'd chosen was quiet, which was a good thing as he didn't want Haruhi's worldhopping to attract attention. Lockon was leaning on a tree, in the shade, flipping idly through a book while he waited.

"Twelve noon! Twelve noon!" came a robotic voice from down by his feet. Lockon looked down at Haro, and then up and at the surrounding area.

"Any minute now," he murmured, returning to his book but keeping his ears open for any unusual sounds.
