[color=fff79a]"[i]What[/i] a ~coincidence~!"[/color] you trill in a delighted half-singsong tone, clapping your best buddy on the back even as he rises from a polite bow of his own. [color=fff79a]"We were headed that way too!"[/color]

This prompts a blink from Takauji, who turns his head to look at you funny. [color=8493ca]"Were we? I thought you were just bolting wherever..."[/color]

[color=fff79a]"Where's a dude to take a brother in need if not a safe location, my man?"[/color] you counter, folding your arms and adjusting your shades the infinitesimal amount to make them gleam in the overhead lights all cool-like. [color=fff79a]"Either of our houses'd be too obvious a hidey-hole, anyway."[/color]

The lone heir to the Aragaki name (one cousin aside) frowns. [color=8493ca]"And the roof isn't? Either way, I think we've more than evaded anyone who'd be 'chasing after me' if we can stop and talk like this."[/color]

His fingerquotes serve to belittle your concerns somewhat, but it's no skin off your back. Takauji Aragaki was living proof that a black hole could be placed upon the earth's surface without anything bad happening, and you weren't talking about his ability to pack away food or his attraction field for what you guessed would soon be a [i]stupid[/i] number of girls in his class.

Nah, your Bro, whatever gods above may there be bless him, was the densest son-of-a-bitch you knew by a country mile. It was part of why he hated your Casanova jokes so much— they made no sense to the poor bastard.

In summation, he was living proof that the Large Hadron Collider would [i]not[/i], in fact, destroy the world any time soon.

[color=fff79a]"Nah, dude! Nobody ever thinks to look up, right? Same principle, man! It's like most of the girlies in the school, present company excluded of course, don't even know the roof [i]exists[/i]! It's a perfect chill-out spot!"[/color]

Your reassurance is met with mixed emotions culminating in a shrug.

[color=8493ca]"If you say so, I guess. But hey, isn't Senhime-san going up there too? We shouldn't bother her, man."[/color]

That was a fair point your hedgehog-headed pugilist friend made, but...

[color=fff79a]"We can chill [i]quietly[/i]. That'd work, right, Senhime-chan?"[/color]

You meet her with your winningest smile, despite it reminding most people of Bruce from Finding Nemo.
