[shuryoinai]

[ Ah, if only he could say what's exactly on his mind right now. ]

SENT: 8:02 AM
So where do I see you later?

[ Maybe you've noticed that when he's holding back, he'll always shift gears quickly, or bounce.

Maybe. ]

[bostova]

[ She's a little disappointed you've suddenly changed the topic. She was totally getting in the mood, too. (She might have noticed, but isn't thinking much of it-- or has ignored it entirely, because slightly annoyed.) ]

SENT: 8:05 AM
Depends on what you mean by later. Be specific, Kuzunoha.

[shuryoinai]

SENT: 8:07 AM
"Later" meaning after you're done with your class.

[bostova]

SENT: 8:10 AM
I'll be at Gisi after my first class, and I guess if you still want to go to Jessie's together, you can pick me up at Balamb.

[shuryoinai]

SENT: 8:12 AM
Balamb later tonight, then. Still not sure where my rounds will take me before class and the party.

[bostova]

SENT: 8:15 AM
You can just go ahead, you know.

[shuryoinai]

[ It's a good thing that you can't see how he blinks at your response for a bit. ]

SENT: 8:18 AM
It's all right. I really don't mind waiting.

[bostova]

SENT: 8:30 AM
You'll be bored.

[ The reply is late, mostly because, well, target practice. She's at the Shatterdome, doing her rounds. AKA, terrorizing the newbies. ]

[shuryoinai]

SENT: 8:32 AM
I'm touched by your concern. I'll be fine, though. :)

[bostova]

SENT: 8:40 AM
Whatever. Don't fall asleep and forget to pick me up at Balamb.

SENT: 8:41 AM
Wait. Checked today's schedule. Do you want to have light dinner after your class and before mine? So you're not too bored.

[shuryoinai]

[ As if he'd really do that. He's about to tell you as much when that second text of yours comes in. ]

SENT: 8:45 AM
Sure, since I won't have to pay for you this time.

[ They usually ate at one of the izakayas at the Night Town below Gisi, but if it was dinner between their classes, the only logical choice they had as the Great Hall. Food was free there. ]

[bostova]

[ Excuse her for a moment while she laughs at this. ]

SENT 8:49 AM
Not my fault you keep offering to pay for my dinner.

[shuryoinai]

SENT: 8:51 AM
Only because you'd probably complain if I didn't.

[ Sigh, Whisperers. ]

[bostova]

SENT: 8:53 AM
But it would be rude to turn down such an offer.

[shuryoinai]

SENT: 8:56 AM.
Of course.

[ Yeah, you might just be able to feel the sarcasam radiating from that. ]

SENT: 8:57 AM
Anyway, see you later?

[bostova]

[ She totally does, and she counts this a success. Or something. ]

SENT: 9:00 AM
Later, then.

[ Which could really mean anytime between lunch and dinner. They might even see each other sooner than later, since she does check in at Gisi after wiping the floor with Josh in the freshman class she teaches that day. There's several hours between her afternoon class and dinner her evening class, after all. ]

[shuryoinai]

[ For this case, it ends up being at dinner on the dot. He's got assignments that take him outside of Gisi and into Metro Manila. He also had to port over to Seigi on several counts because of a little project he and Kang Dae Moon have going.

Still, he'll be the first to arrive at your usual table in the Great Hall. He's going through another Black Stone, checking several light screens at once. ]

[bostova]

[ She's not late, not really. They had agreed on "after (his) class and before (hers)", and there was an hour and twenty minutes in between that. Still, she does arrive giving them enough time for dinner, and then some. ]

You brought work with you? Why am I not surprised.

[shuryoinai]

[ Looking up at your approach, then just smiling at your comment. ]

You know me. I don't like being idle.

[ And he also runs the Morticians division in Gisi like a fine-tuned, well-oiled machine, mostly by being one himself. ]

[bostova]

[ She sets down the manila envelope she was carrying down on the table-- it's for class later. Yes, she likes giving pen-and-paper tests on the first day. It's why not a lot of students like her. Does she care? No. ]

So, [ A smile. ] are we getting something to eat, or should I just watch you work?

[shuryoinai]

[ Shaking his head at that, but obediently setting his work aside. ]

We're getting something to eat.

[ Glancing at that envelope of yours. ]

Another Welcome to Balamb quiz?

[bostova]

[ She looks at her envelope and her lips curl upward on one side. ]

More like, "Welcome to your second year of hell, you better have learned something last year, or else."

[ And no, she doesn't give two shits if any of her prospective night class students still lingering around the Great Hall heard that, either. ]

[shuryoinai]

[ Yeah, this is why he loves views you with such high regard. ]

If they haven't, I'm pretty sure it won't be our fault.

[ Balamb's faculty is, in his humble opinion, the best there is. ]

[bostova]

Of course not. We happen to be the best Hunter School in the Fifth World.

[ Never mind that she came from Jotunheim and considers Vreihe family. And don't mind if her back's straighter.

She'll just be getting her salad(s)... ]

[shuryoinai]

[ On his end, he's taking more of his tea. He'll get some food later: this report has his attention. ]

You think Hikaru has any idea that he's going to get dragged off to a party later?
