[b]Kotori Shirohane - Warakuma High School: Main Entrance| After School[/b]

Kotori hadn't exactly expected anyone to be calling out to her after she'd almost cleared the main entrance, yet she still heard her own name being spoke from behind her. Surprised at the fact, she looked up before turning around to see who it was that had called for her. It took her another moment to realise that it wasn't any of the students that kept on walking right past her but rather the noticeably taller Alexei whom she'd met just the other day and who'd been overlooked in her brief search precisely because he stood so much taller than the average boy his age. Looking up, she gave a quick bow before greeting the third year: "Ah, good day, Dragunov-senpai," she said, albeit with a brief pause before uttering his name to make sure she got it right; still unused to foreign names.

Stepping a bit closer and into a more comfortable talking distance given the hustle and bustle still about them, Kotori had a questioning look about her as to why Alexei had called out to her - only for him speak up about it: "I have a request to make if you'll allow me?" he asked, the rather formal way of asking despite speaking to a junior taking Kotori a bit aback, though she still gave an affirmative nod; all the while blinking inquisitively from behind her glasses - until the matter became clear with the request in question: "Could you introduce me to the shop. I'll like to make my request if possible."

Kotori was quick to nod in agreement when she remembered the matter from the previous day; the reason for his floral needs in particular - that the parttime job of his made it hard for him to provide the girls of his family with flowers every day, even now bringing a small smile to her lips for a moment. She still thought the gesture was quite at odds with his gruff appearance - but the thought of flowers being used to bring a smile to the faces of others, together with the fact that he'd asked her help in the matter, made it impossible for her to decline. "Of course. It's in the Shopping District," she said in her usual quiet voice, a little belatedly after already nodding, before realising that Alexei had mentioned that he already knew where the Flower Shop was previously.

Seeing as she was already headed for home - like most every day after school - there was no reason they couldn't take the same way, given that their destination was the same. "Shall we go right now or do you need anything beforehand?" Kotori asked, seeing as she didn't know if the MMA Club perhaps had meetings on Saturdays or if he had to work his parttime job today.
