[i]”Well, it’ll be extremely awkward if you still felt like a guy after all that. Nature somehow finds a way. I’m at the council room if you need me.”[/i]

Shinobu stared at the message, his finger hovering over the ‘Send’ button. It felt opportunististic. It felt hollow. With a few angry taps, he erased his message and rewrote it.

[i]”Council room.”[/i]

He sighed. Now it sounded like he didn’t care at all. Shinobu guessed that he sort of cared, considering how much time he was investing into a single text message with a girl. Other girls were easy-come, easy-go, but Akina was different.

[i]”I actually emerged—”[/i]

No, this one was stupid. She’d ask so many questions, and Shinobu himself lacked answers to most of them.

Clutching his head and groaning, Shinobu grimaced and tapped out a reply, slamming his finger on the ‘Send’ button without a second glance. Slipping his phone back into his pocket, Shinobu stood up, and walked to the council room.

[i]”I’ll be at the concil room. Reckon thattheyre beter peopel to takl to about this.”[/i]
