Kazu wasn't entirely sure what was going on, but Mari's sudden outburst certainly caught him off guard. He wondered if she was seriously surprised at Al's response or if she was thinking of something else. He didn't make any move to go after the pair as they made their way to the bar. Kazu simply nodded in response as Shizuka excused herself from the table. He glanced around quickly in a slightly comical way, making sure nobody was looking. He lifted his mask slightly and took a gulp at the drink that he had taken from a waitress a moment before all this drama happened. After taking the satisfying gulp, he re-adjusted his mask. He had just put it back on as the shorter girl came back. He nodded at her in response to her bow. She seemed a little flustered? He could see her hands tremble as she opened her mask's mouth piece. How odd. He was jealous. He wanted a mouth opening too. Next time he comes to a party like this, he'll drill a hole into the mouth so he can sip with a straw. He nodded slightly at his own idea before focusing back on what was going on.

He moved a little closer to Shizuka, pulling out his phone, typing on it before showing it to her. [color=a2d39c]"Is everything alright?"[/color], he was quite concerned about this girl, she seemed.. Troubled by something. Perhaps he should try ask her to dance? Maybe she doesn't want to dance.. Who knows.
