Youhei put on his best mysterious air, shrugging melodramatically in response to Ikeda's reaction. Truth be told, he was relieved that she had taken it well; he had expected her to either run away or freak out... And right on cue, Kirijo gave his verdict. Normally Youhei would have just flouted dorm rules regardless, but he respected Kirijo's willingness to let the odd thing slide. In future, alcohol would only be consumed in the privacy of his own room... [i]or the roof, that could work too.[/i] He treated the other lad to a mock salute and a wry smile. [b]'Yes boss, you won't catch me again boss.'[/b] Any response Kirijo might have given was cut off by a certain text message; Youhei caught a glimpse of the screen before Kirijo turned away. A girl perhaps? Curiosity aside, he tried not to listen in on the call... and failed. Kirijo's tone, the nickname 'Kimi' and that scandalous 'I love you' tugged his ear to no end. [i]And a limo? Bloody bourgeois...[/i]

His eavesdropping was interrupted by the entrance of another unfamiliar face, introduced as Asaga and characterised by her unique hair and cold demeanour. Youhei let Ikeda do the honours this time around; considering how nervous she had been mere weeks before, he was quite impressed by the confidence she projected in front of such an... intimidating young woman. He leant his elbows down on the bar and gave a camp little finger wave as Ikeda introduced him, sizing the new girl up. First impressions of Asaga painted a rather grim picture; her unfriendly eyes and silver hair gave Youhei a chilly feeling in his gut. This was not a girl that he would try teasing... He sighed deeply; it would seem that with the departure of Minobe, there wasn't anyone tease-able left in the dorm... He quashed that rather lonely thought as Ikeda continued. [b]'Sounds like a plan; I'd love to see you and Kirijo trolleyed.'[/b] The girls left about the same time that Kirijo came off his phone; Youhei considered making a snarky comment about internet girlfriends, but upon seeing the other lad's expression thought better of it. Instead he resumed their earlier conversation. [b]'So about these new people. Do they, uh... actually know what SEES is? And what are we going to do about Mr Yankee Doodle up there? You and I may be able to talk to him, but we are somewhat above the average English speaking quotient of this dorm.'[/b] He studiously ignored the elephant in the room, along with Ikeda's rapid escape...
