Leiko Hamada: Warakuma High- Drama Club Meeting Room
Leiko listened astutely to the newcomer's response, a mixture of surprise and intrigue decorating her expression as he not only refused to leave them to their practice, but he managed to sneak in a compliment on her performance as well. Whilst more attitude and backtalk in the club was less than appealing (Masatomo could be more than enough for her to handle sometimes), the boy still managed to pinpoint a weakness that Leiko shared with most girls.
Flattery.
"Hmm, well, be as it may, my point stands regarding ceasing intake of members, at least for a few weeks...", Leiko frowned, cocking her head thoughtfully as she deliberated further on the matter. "I wouldn't hesitate if it was a female, but...oh, what the heck."
Both Shinichi and Kasumi spoke up for the boy then, urging her to allow him to at least observe their practice, although Kasumi's words were more officious than she would have liked. "Indeed there isn't Shinichi-kun. Although less chitchat during a demonstration would be appreciated," she sighed at the boy's obliviousness. "And Kasumi, I would watch your tone if I were you." She spared a hard, warning glare at Kasumi before dismissing him with a wave of her hand. "Well then..."
Shaking the papers in her hand into a neat pile, Leiko looked over at the new prospective member again. "Please introduce yourself to the club, and align yourself with a partner. Since we don't have time for an audition, I'll merely watch you practice and draw my judgements from there."
