[u][h3]Kuhaku Shiro -> Beacon Academy rooftops[/h3][/u] Having properly restored himself by little pep-talks and words of self-encouragement, Shiro's pocket vibrated and his Scroll chimed. Not stopping as he made his way back towards the source of the sounds, his golden eyes peering at the electronic device's screen. It was another message from Gren. Always happen to be in communication with friends, Shiro smiled at the gifted tech as he read his message. Frowning, Shiro tilted his head. [i]"Find Abel? Can't Gren just...shoot him a text like he did me?"[/i] Shiro shook his head. [i]"Thought you were a bit smarter than that, buddy.."[/i] Thumbs rapidly tapping at the screen, he shot a response back to his teammate. [quote][b]To:[/b] Gren Orchid; Abel Fulgurate [b]From:[/b] Kuhaku Shiro [b]Subject:[/b] Get my headphones? Re: Re: Lol, the 'posing on a rooftop' sounds pretty fun. I'll be up there in just a moment, but why didn't you just message Abel or something? Oh, and another thing. Have any of you seen Scoot? Since I last left math class, I hadn't noticed he was gone. Usually he's by my side soo...I'm a little worried if he got lost or something. Have you all learned or seen anything new that's going on? [s]Sapphire's not with you guys, is she?[/s][/quote] Part way in between formulating his response, something nagged at him to ask the question about Sapphire. Gren hadn't tagged her into the conversation and hadn't mentioned her at all. But, it was apparent he hadn't completely healed. Scowling angrily at the Scroll in his gloved hands, Shiro furiously shook his head. [i]"Agh, come on. Be a little more courageous. You're braver than you think."[/i] Going back over his message, he erased the final question. Puffing, Shiro locked and pocketed the Scroll. Turning to the nearest open window, he popped his neck and cracked his knuckles as he began to limber up. Shiro's the kind of guy to immediate react to things. Ask nearly anyone who knew him. Just, not any females whose name is derived from a gemstone with blue hair. [b]"One set of headphones coming right up! Courtesy of Shiro's Delivery Service!"[/b] Grinning goofily, Shiro got down on all fours as he wiggled his tail and rear-end. Black stubby claws stabbed outward from the tips of his fingers as he gripped the ground. Sure, he could just as easily walk up to the window and climb out. But his rambunctious spirit refused to allow him to be 'reasonable' with his decisions. Especially if they were boring. Exploding forth, Shiro gracefully lunged out of the window. Feline flexibility allowing him to twist his body in midair, his claws sunk into the top outside ledge of the window and he swung his body up and over. Beginning his ascent to the rooftops of Beacon Academy. Oddly enough, climbing was something that came rather naturally to him. Expertly clawing and bounding his way up, powering to the top within seconds. If anyone were to ever ask him in an interview what his unique talents were. He'd say climbing and swimming without hesitating. [u][b]Beacon Academy Rooftops[/b][/u] Minutes after, Shiro found his way over to Gren. Once at the top, it wasn't hard to miss the green giant. Heels clicking on the shingles of the rooftops, he pulled his elbow-length gloves back on and enthusiastically waved at Gren. [b]"Hey, boss! I got your headphones!"[/b] he called out to him loudly. Just as he came closer, he saw that it wasn't just him and Gren. Sapphire had just leapt off the side, which Shiro ignored. One student he recognized, another he had never seen before. [b]"Uhh, friends of yours?"[/b] He asked as he pulled out Gren's headphones from his pack and handed it to him. Walking to the edge, wind tousling his hair and ears, he peered over the side. Looking back over his shoulder at Gren, he jabbed a thumb in Sapphire's direction. [b]"What was that all about?"[/b]
