[h3]Shizuka Otonashi || Warakuma Park || May 1 FRI[/h3]
[color=violet]"Oh! S-So both of you are classmates? That must mean you're an upperclassman too, Dragunov-senpai. I suppose that would explain why you seemed awfully familiar, to think we were from the same school."[/color] Releasing a soft giggle behind a hand, Shizuka gradually calmed from her earlier flustered state. One who was from Warakuma would not be too surprised to find schoolmates around town as it might be growing a little more industrious as its neighbor, Tokyo, but there are only about two schools around the area, one of which is a private school. Yet it was still nice to find more people of her age and befriending them, mostly due to Shizuka being shy and a freshman to the school at that.

Lightly nodding in response to Matt's permission for calling her such, the female student enthusiastically (in her own, soft voice way) spoke, [color=violet]"T-Thank you, senpai! I'll be submitting my application form possibly by Monday. Shirohane-san as well? She does seem to appreciate plantation, so it wouldn't come off as a surprise but it is delightful to know there will be acquaintances in the club."[/color] Genuinely thankful that the club she will be entering has friendly people she just came to know, there was a slight excitement in her tone, enough for someone listening to notice. Shizuka might not know a thing or two on the common knowledge for nature enthusiasts but she was willing to learn and appreciate the vegetation.

Once the upperclassman who had been voicing out his passion for nature finished his piece and apologized as he chuckled, Shizuka clasped her hands together and held them atop her chest with a light curve upon her lips. His speech didn't bore her at all, in fact, it was inspiring for the underclassman. [color=violet]"Oh no, it was not a nuisance at all, Harvester-senpai. In fact, I find it admirable to see someone passionately speak about their interest. I... could relate to it at some points, bu-but I'm afraid I cannot be as courageous or open as you..."[/color] Her gaze slowly fell onto the ground as her voice trailed to a soft whisper. Realizing it might cause the two of them to worry, Shizuka attempted to quickly change the subject. [color=violet]"O-Oh um... S-Speaking of clubs, what does your club do, D-Dragunov-senpai?"[/color]
