[u][h3]Kuhaku Shiro - Being Manhandled[/h3][/u]

Shiro sighed, his ears drooping. He didn't want the process of doing maintenance eat up all of his time and prevent him from spending time with friends. One thing was certain, he would be running a little late afterwards. Come to think of it, did Gren specify a time?

[b]"Aww, man. The curing process alone would take-"[/b]
His ears perked up, hearing a familiar voice call out to him.
Whirling around, he blinked when he recognized the face of his team leader.
But, why was she calling out his name?
Tilting his head, he blinked again. Was he seeing things or..
[b]"Sapphire? What-"[/b]
She swiftly snaked her way through the other students on their way to class and managed to grab his arm in a particularly sensitive spot. Causing him to wince, sucking air in through his teeth.
[b]"Ow! Hey, what are you-!"[/b]
Before he knew it, he was practically shoved backwards. 
Tripping over his own feet, he fell and rolled clumsily into a vacant room.

Standing up as Sapphire closed the door and cut on the lights, he held a hand to his head. One eye shut in slight annoying pain. Irritated, he sharply questioned her. [b]"Oi, what gives?"[/b] His aggravation with her died when he heard the serious tone in her voice. Whatever it was, apparently it was important and critical enough to risk being late to class. When she mentioned the need to talk, he already half knew what she wanted to talk [i]about[/i] but he didn't want to let her know that. Ears slightly drooping, he rubbed the back of his head as his eyes flitted to and fro. Unable to maintain eye contact, he feigned blissful ignorance.

[b]"U-uh...No? I don't think I do know what this is about. Buut...can't it wait until after classes or something? We're going to be late and I hate being late, soo...Tootles!..."[/b] Nonchalantly walking past his leader, he reached for the door and was just about to open it.
