[b]Kotori Shirohane - Warakuma High School Grounds[/b]

The silence between the two girls remained in place for a good two minutes while the three boys were a little ways off; talking among themselves. Kotori had assumed that Inoue would most likely head back to her friends together with Noboru - but that wasn't the case; her senpai instead staying beside her the whole time. Finally breaking the silence, the older girl spoke; asking her about any clubs of her own. Shaking her head at first, Kotori then gave a bit of a surprised look toward Inoue as she then asked if she wanted to join their club.

Glancing between the three boys and Inoue, then down at herself, Kotori couldn't help but feel that she would be most out of place in such a club - even as her senpai went on to explain that they weren't trying to be a strict or forceful club but rather one to simply enjoy physical training in various forms. Inoue seemed to like the club - that much was apparent from the way she spoke about it; her words sounding honest when she said them - making it a little hard for Kotori to find a way to say that she really didn't think she was cut out for such a thing; most likely just being in the way even if she did join. Inoue then went on to apologise for her spirited approach - probably having seen Kotori's unease at the proposition.

"Ah, no, it's fine," Kotori said, shaking both her head and a hand she had raised when her senpai began her apology. "I... I'm afraid I'm not really suitable for you, though," she continued, an apologetic tone in her voice, "I'm not very good with physical things and I have to help out at home after school, so..." Kotori's already quiet voice trailed off; an apologetic half-smile on her lips as she wasn't quite sure she should be declining a senpai's request like that - even if she was certain that it was the best course of action for all of them.
