[ ... mm. interesting. ]

You have an adorable cat. What's their name? Is that dog yours as well?

The cat is totally mine! That's Nyanko ♪ She's the most wonderful, adorable, perfect little girl in the world...

( she misses her so much. )

And the dog... Ooh, did I take pictures of one? Tomoe-senpai has Bloody Mary-chan, but it's been a while since I saw her... ( so then it has to be the one that gets run every morning... ) If it was round and looked like a roasted marshmallow, that one's Daikichi-kun. If it was a super tiny brown doggy, then that's Bloody Mary-chan.

( oh! )

And Koga-chan has Leon-kun, too... He's a corgi—big and round and pointy ears, but no tail.

( ............sllllllllllooooooowly turning the knob still )

... Are you leaving already?

[ his eyes flick up at her, watching carefully. ]

( ah. )

Well, I have to adjust my design... and I need to go find out who's got fabric around here so I can start working on these... I only have a couple of days, you know.

( so............... yes? )

...Did you want to keep talking, Yodaka-chan? We can... ( ...oh, she shouldn't, but... ) We can talk and walk. You'll just be in charge of like, holding everything we get.

[ ...

he'll stand up, straightening his outfit and checking to make sure he has all he needs. ]

I'd like to hear more about Nyanko. Are cats easy to take care of? My brother says they seem to be, so I was curious -- we don't even have strays around Reimei Academy, so I've never interacted with one before.

( ...

he does like her company, huh. what a dishonest little boy. )

It depends entirely on the cat! My darling little Nyanko-chan's been nothing but an angel, so that's probably why HiMERU-chan thinks they're probably easy to take care of... She's sooo well-behaved, such a perfect princess...

( her lovely baby. )

We have some strays around the academy though—Leo-kun took care of them—and they're... Hmmmm, they're a little bit of a handful... Little John's like, pretty picky about who she lets hold her. She used to go charging at Tsukasa-chan, too...

( they're on better terms now. mostly. )

Ritsu-chan accidentally picked up a stray at the beginning of the year, too—we named him D'Artagnan, the little scoundrel... Oh, and Sora-chan and I found a kitten together at Ensemble Square, and we got to see its mother, too... That was such a heartwarming reunion, I like, totally teared up.

[ no he doesn't. there is a purpose to this. don't consider it a bonding experience, this is nothing more than intel gathering. ]

I see. [ they do sound easy, though... as long as you're the person they like.

... ... ... ] And the dogs?

I don't have that much experience with dogs, but like, they seem really cute...?

( haha...? )

Bloody Mary-chan is super adorable, though. I looove seeing her around... She's just the cutest when she's being held by someone like Jun-chan.

( the juxtaposition is so... )

Let's see... Daikichi-kun's really friendly when he knows you, but like, he seems pretty stand-offish otherwise...? I wonder if that's a breed thing... I hear shiba inus are pretty cat-like. ( and difficult. ) And Leon-kun's totally adorable, but Koga-chan'd be so mad if he heard me say that.

( heheh. )

Sorry I can't be of more help! I've only ever had Nyanko, and neither HiMERU-chan nor Tetora-kun have pets, either. ( ... ) You ready to go? Lemme grab my notebook—

( woosh. she's out, she's gone to her room. )

[ so they're easy to take care of too??? there's no winning with pets. but a cat does fit their image more... ]

Naru-- [ kami... doesn't she just fit her name.

yes, he's settled, he's going to pointedly wait outside her room so she cannot escape him. they're having hangout time because he still needs something from her. ]

( what a tenacious boy... she won't make him wait long, she's out with a lil tote bag and stuff. her notebook!! and things, those are in there...

..,arashi's a little surprised he's actually here but anyway-- )

So! Where were we? ( motion, motion, time to go... ) Riiight, invasion of my privacy... Did you check out my selfies~? Mika-chan's in a lot of them, he's my best friend...

[ yes yes, he's coming along... thinking about it he has more than a few things to ask her. this is going to be a terrible trip. ]

Was that the boy with odd colored eyes? I've never seen such a thing before.

[ they were pretty... he and narukami seemed close, so he's assuming. ]

Anyway, I didn't go through that many of them. I simply clicked what I thought would be interesting, did a quick scan, and moved on. You have a rather good eye for photo composition.

( wow those are my favorite words. )

It was! Aren't they the prettiest? I tell him that all the time, but he's still sooo shy about them... ( sigh. mika kagehira the WORLD...

but ah, she sees. ) And thanks. It's from years of experience ♪ Plus you pick up a thing or two from modeling, I guess...

( ... )

You still shouldn't snoop though, alright? I'm really serious about that. Like, I'll let you off this time, but I'm not being nice about it if you do it without my permission again.

[ mm... so you don't just snoop if someone gives you something. he wouldn't want someone to do that to his phone -- not because he has pictures he wouldn't want most to see, but because of the text conversations and recent calls -- so he understands, but at the same time

it just hadn't occurred to him. his bad. but apologizing sincerely is hard, all of his "my apologies" are the sort that's courtesy and detached, but narukami really was upset. ]

... Don't be absurd. Your phone wasn't that interesting, Narukami, so there's no point in going through it a second time.

[ there we go. nailed it. ]

There was something that caught my eye on there, however.

I feel like a lot of things caught your eye, Yodaka-chan...

( boy... you've been asking NONSTOP QUESTIONS SO-- )

Which one?

[ hush. ]

You have a picture of my brother. I'd like it.

( she probably has more than a few because they're roomies

but

she gets the feeling it's not one of those. call it women's intuition. )

Is it the one from the same shoot as "Sena-senpai"?

[ yeah he saw exactly one of them. tetora who. ]

... The mean one? Yes, I suppose so. He didn't look very mean though.

[ more pretty... anyway he just wants his brother thank you. ]

He's a model like me ( she remembers HiMERU mentioning that ) so of course he can use those good-looks of his properly...

( she's fiddling with her phone, one sec... okay! she sends it )

There you go ♪

[ he takes out his phone in a hurry, waiting for narukami's text to come through, and ]

[ ........................................... ]

-- What have you done to HiMERU?! Revert these changes immediately! You're ruining his good image, you dunce! How dare you mar him like this! HiMERU isn't some-- some--

[ he's searching for words he doesn't know exactly what he's looking for but-- ]

-- Some gravure model you can just do what you'd like to! There was nothing wrong with the original image!

[ fuck it he's gonna try and her phone back

... seems more personal than just about his brother, though. ]

( oh wow gee guess who is taller And faster And stronger than him--

it's her, she's raising her phone over her head )

Oh, calm down, Yodaka-chan! It's just a joke! ( why is he so worked up about this...? sure, HiMERU probably wouldn't find it very funny either, considering he wants to have such a clean image as an idol...

she'll move away from him, let's not make a scene wherever we are. did they even leave the house yet. i haven't been paying attention. whatever. ) I'll send you the right one next, alright? Ugh, you're no fun at all...

Also ( pushes him gently with her elbow ) there is nothing wrong with gravure models! I do gravure too, you know!

( yeah this was important to add on )

[ they have to have left. i'm not letting HiMERU have a moment to find his little brother fighting for his titty rights.

but at her word and gentle elbow, he'll step back, half-crossing his arms and keeping his phone held aloft in his hand. kaname's still tense, still pissed, and even when he does get the right image sent to his phone he feels irritation broiling beneath his skin. ]

... It suits you. You're elegantly long, so I'm certain you make for quite the attractive centerpiece in a magazine filled to the brim with other objects of adoration.

[ there was no reason for him to put it like that, really. ]

( arashi tenses up, staring at him--maybe so, but there is no reason for him to put it like that, and she has the air of a cat with its hackles raised

before she turns and walks faster, exhaling sharply. )

That was a gravure shoot too, just so you know! ( she's pretty sure. it's pretty in line with the other shoots she's had, view wise. calendar photos. ) I'm sure tons of people loved HiMERU-chan as a centerpiece too!

( was it for a magazine? fuck it she doesn't remember, she just remembers asking tsumugi for the data and-- someone else was there, but the face won't come to her, the name won't rise to her tongue, and she makes a small frustrated noise at that as she turns down another corner. better catch up! )
