Finally, an ally appeared. Although Kimiko generally was unfond of company, Ikari Suzune was one of the few people who were able to spend much time with her, whether through perseverance or ignorance was another matter. Kimiko flinched as the taller girl bull rushed towards them, but despite the harsh to Ikari could use on men, she was nothing but gentle with Kimiko. 

"Do not worry, Ikari-san," the shrine maiden replied, ever so slightly uncomfortable with being made into an armrest. "They have not deigned to touch me. Yet. This kouhai is named Frosty-san..." close enough... "and he has seemed relatively pleasant... up until now." Kimiko frowned at Alexander. His response was understandable given the greeting, but it was no way to deal with one such as Suzune. Not wanting to be caught physically in the middle of a verbal firefight, the miko turned to face Suzune. 

"Remember, Ikari-san, it is our duty to be good senpais to the underclassmen. However shall they learn otherwise? And it seems Sasaki-san was sent on a recruitment mission. I have already suggested to him that requests for 'dudes' shall be less than helpful in acquiring female compatriots, to a predictable response. Perhaps I should stop by? Chorus could spare me for one session, I believe."

It was little coincidence that all of Kimiko's attention had turned to Ikari at her arrival, mostly due to her being one of the few people Kimiko was comfortable conversing with. It was fairly noticeable as well, with the miko barely even glancing in the direction of Alex at his mention, and nearly entirely ignoring Hayate. To Kimiko's mind, she cared little about what they thought of her, but Ikari was a somewhat closer acquaintance. Friend might be too strong a word.  Maybe.
