In short: Everyone makes mistakes sometimes. Even those we admire. 

I believe that works fine, especially after you made the point about rushing, which there's no reason to do just yet. I think Kurama and Shiori can briefly touch on the greenhouse, how it's still an unpopular club, and maybe bringing up getting Botan involved if she was interested. After that, get them to the room, touch up on a little of fighting and how he'll need to make time to prepare her. Botan should also mention her schedule as a reaper. Koenma might be covering for her now so she can get some progress on the investigation, but sooner or later she has to get back to it at least a little bit. Thoughts?

It's Lord of the Rings. Good job~

It's an enjoyable habit but a problematic one, so no doubt by the time the issues between the two are fully hammered out (xP) we'll need to then go over what we want to accomplish in the next starting point. I'm looking forward to the kind gestures. Outings may be hard given their need to be watching the school as closely as possible, but maybe in the coming weekend Kurama could take her out somewhere for lunch and get the conversation rolling. Kurama's aspiration and his complete past can be raised, while he takes interest in her endgame and so forth.

I'm hitting the point tonight where I'm not great at talking about heavy plot details. I'll probably turn in shortly. As usual these days, I'll text you if I get into bed.
