The silence seemed to last an eternity, so enraptured was Fuyuki by those ears... If he listened closely, the girl's soft snoring could be heard. [i]Nothing lost, nothing gained,[/i] he thought flatly, still eying up the headband. Maybe he could just... borrow it for a while. On a semi-permanent basis. He leaned over ever so slowly, one arm reaching out and being damn careful not to wake the girl... A sudden sound next door and he froze; the Nurse coughing. Perhaps it wasn't worth it anyway; all she would need to do was ask the Nurse who else had come in and the gig would be up. Instead Fuyuki beat a hasty retreat, nodding to the omnipresent Nurse as he passed by. On the one hand he hadn't gotten that nap, but on the other, found some nice inspiration for his next outfit. [i]Nekomimi schoolgirl. Could be a winner.[/i]

Bereft of his skiving place, Fuyuki wandered aimlessly. It was nice to forget his database every now and then, just to get out and see the school. He passed the library with its usual denizens, the quad full of gorging idiots and eventually found himself back where he started, outside the damn cafeteria... The last thing Fuyuki wanted was to get sucked back into that melee. Instead he headed toward one of his little haunts, a secondary rooftop where no-one much bothered to go. As he turned the corner to the first floor staircase, he ran into another of the school's inhabitants. Interestingly he didn't know this one... probably a first year. Something seemed off in her manner and that leg looked a bit blocky, but it still wasn't immediately obvious what her problem was. Curiosity got the better of him just this once. [b]'Excuse me, are you a first year?'[/b] He put on a relaxed smile, doing his best to appear the friendly bystander. [b]'You seem upset; are you alright?'[/b]
