[u][h3]Kuhaku Shiro - Am I being Detained? Am I free to go?[/h3][/u] [b]"Hee!"[/b] Shiro's ear and tail stood straight up in shock as one of Sapphire's knives once again found their way into the wood of the door frame. For the second time today too, just after lunch. His body easing up slightly, Shiro sighed and looked at the ground. Scratching the back of his head as his tail lazily swept at the air behind his legs. Looking back up and turning around, Shiro looked rather disappointed. [b]"Man, you [i]really[/i] know how to start a nice conversation with someone who's supposed to have your back. If this is how you start off every conversation with people you know, I'd hate to see how you greet your enemies."[/b] Grinning, Shiro shook his head. [b]"Also, I have a name as do you. I'm Kuhaku Shiro. You're Sapphire Rode. Let's keep it like that, okay? You and I aren't necessarily on friendly terms so I'd appreciate it if you didn't give me 'pet' names."[/b] His eyes lazily gazed at the picture Sapphire brought up on her Scroll. He knew what the picture was, but he was going to continue feigning ignorance. At the very least it would rile Sapphire up to the point where she may just give up on the conversation and leave. Of course, he couldn't keep up his fibs for long. If she was persistent and continued to press the issue, Shiro was too honest to keep up a lie. So, he shrugged when he saw the photo of the pill bottle. [b]"Okay?"[/b] He made a motion with his hands as he shrugged his shoulders. [b]"Looks like a picture of some medication. What else do you want to know?"[/b] His day was going okay. Not the best start, but he was still having a good day. For some reason, Sapphire always seemed to dampen his cheerful mood. Honestly, he was tiring of his leader. He had every full intention of speaking to her after school, when they could give each other the undivided attention that their conversation would need. But the way his precious leader approached and addressed everything with such cold hostility was seriously starting to piss him off. She lacked tact. At the worst possible time, Robert walked into the room. It appeared that the guy had gotten lost and entered the absolutely wrong classroom. As Shiro looked at Robert, his expression started to twist into one of intense anger. Great, how many more people were going to learn that Shiro had to medicate to keep his 'issues' in check? He had half a mind to scare off the guy by blasting him with a roar, but that would only attract more attention. No, instead... An idea popped into his head. [b]"Hey, Robert!"[/b] His expression immediately brightened. [b]"Did you get lost?"[/b] Duh. [b]"Y'know what, I feel like helping a buddy out. What class do you have? I have a better sense of direction and can get you there just in time!"[/b] He stalked forward and grabbed Robert by the shoulders, spinning him around and back out of the classroom. [b]"Don't worry about it, I was just having a chit-chat with Sapphire. You weren't interrupting anything! What say we get ourselves to class right quick, huh?"[/b] Shiro just managed to push Robert out of the threshold of the door, a few steps out himself.
