Fuyuki had expected a quiet reply but was still taken aback by the softness of the girl's voice. She was clearly putting on a tough front, but he could see the nervousness behind her words; this one required a delicate touch. Chances are she wasn't sure of his gender (most weren't, which was good for him), so he made sure to use feminine speech, smiling with a gentle friendliness. [b]'Nice to meet you Azusa. I am Todoroki Fuyuki, in the second year.'[/b] Come to think of it, even this rather petite looking presumed first year was taller than him... He felt a spark of irritation, but that scar had long since healed; looking up at people five years his junior was just a part of Fuyuki's life. [b]'Do you mind if I join you? I am afraid the crowds in the cafeteria make me a bit nervous... I prefer it when there are less people around.'[/b] He made a show of using his PDA to talk, as she was clearly confused by his 'voice'. The smell of fresh curry lingered in the air; another point for him to make further conversation. [b]'Did I interrupt your lunch? If so I apologise... It can be so hard to find a quiet spot around here.'[/b] A part of his mind wondered why he was bothering to talk to this girl; sure, she looked like an interesting diversion and was attractive enough that someone would eventually want some information on her, but... [i]Ah well,[/i] he thought absently. [i]Que sera sera. As good a way to waste time as any.[/i]
