[h3]Kuhaku Shiro - Airship Docks[/h3]

Again Shiro frowned, his head tilted as he narrowed his eyes in a slightly disappointed look. When Cobalt took his hand to shake it, the lack of firmness in his grip further deepened Shiro's distrust of the boy. Minus additional points to his first impression of him for a weak handshake. But maybe he was being a bit too harsh in his judgement, at least he seemed cordial enough and returned the boy's smile by also grinning. After a brief silence, the boy apologized for his rude interruption. Shiro smiled and placed Scoot onto his shoulders. Raising both of his hands and shaking his head, he assured Cobalt, [b]"Oh no! It's quite alright, boss. No harm, no foul."[/b] The boy then seemed to notice Scoot and took an immediate interest in him. Scoot looked up at the newcomer and sniffed at him, only to curl into a ball and rest on Shiro's shoulders. Completely disinterested in Cobalt, almost boredly so.

Seeing the rodent's blase' reaction to Cobalt, Shiro laughed and scratched at his ears. Before the three of them could say anything more, the next Airship had come in and was making its touchdown. As it landed and its bay doors opened, a group of students filed in. Quickly filling it. Ears perking, Shiro took off to hurriedly get a spot to sit or stand before they would have to wait longer. [b]"You all coming? Don't want to wait for the next ship do you? We can talk on the ride to the city!"[/b] He beckoned towards his friends to not linger.
