[b]Kotori Shirohane - Warakuma Shopping District | After School[/b]

As Noboru returned her greeting, Kotori gave a brief bow as he then spoke on. As he mentioned clubs, she thought on which clubs she'd seen or heard that day - she remembered hearing a classmate or two talking about Archery Club and she'd seen the Track and Field Club practicing as she'd left school. As such, she gave a simple shake of her head for an answer before realising that it could be taken either way. [color=green]"Ah, no, clubs are still going on. This is my way home,"[/color] she said, clarifying the otherwise vague answer. [color=green]"Uhm..."[/color] she started, unsure whether asking someone about their sudden absence would be too direct - but ultimately deciding to do so, given the worry that it put both his brother and Toma through.

[color=green]"Your older brother, Yamamo-, ah, Aiko-senpai, seemed quite worried about you recently. Is everything okay now?"[/color] Correcting herself midway through the name given that she was talking to Yamamoto about Yamamoto, Kotori's voice held more worry than curiosity - though she'd only just met Noboru on the same day he'd vanished, it was hard not to be at least a little affected by the upset it had caused those that knew him for longer.
