Another day, another lunch break. Given the Detention Club really only congealed together after school hours, Roche didn't typically have expectations of a group get together.
But as bonds formed, she could at least hope to catch one or two people.
Coming to the cafeteria with a convenience store bagged meal in hand, Roche's eyes scanned the press of people. She'd been late in her arrival and it reflected in the throng arrayed before her, a steady clamor of conversations all colliding in garish dissonance as each pocket of congregating teens tried to be heard over those surrounding them.
Normally, she'd turn right around and eat her meal on the track field or a classroom if it wasn't too hectic, but she was making an effort to be more available for the Club. If she'd caught sight of Kiyo it would have been a perfect time to coordinate how to best organize the Club's hunts and make good on her promise to lean on Evil Eye more.
But Roche's eyes landed not on Kiyo, and though they were present, she didn't see Evil Eye and Tsubomi first either.
Shuuko proved easier to spot, especially when beside another friend of Roche's.
"Hey there!" Roche called, hand raised as she approached Misoka and Shuuko. Her expression brightened, a sympathetic crinkling of the eye as she saw Misoka was having a hard time projecting the air of a perfect honor's student when she was also serving as unpaid labor in a manually demanding reconstruction effort.
"You two know each other? You really are popular, Misoka. Though I see the shop isn't giving you much rest." Being well aware of just why Misoka was so ragged left Roche largely unconcerned as she fully grasped just what was driving her. "If you got a minute stop by the track field. I can show you some stretches for before and after your work so you can relieve some of that muscle ache."
"You wanna come too, Shuuko? I know you're already super flexible but a warm up never hurts....well, as long as you do it right."
