[color=92278f][b][h3]Aika Aramachi[/h3][/b][/color] [color=92278f][b]"Oh, I don't mind. Lots of people say that."[/b][/color] Indeed, more than a few people had expressed surprise that she was involved in an athletic club at all, let alone the track team. On top of that, a few people on the track team seemed dismissive of her due to her expressed reasons for joining. [color=92278f][b]"Yeah, I just joined because I needed to do something to keep the carbs off. If I just sat around all day, I would totally get all bloated and fat, right? Track seemed like the easiest way to burn pounds. The other sports were, like, way too competitive for me."[/b][/color] There was more to it than that though; Aika also reasoned that she could stand to be a good runner for whenever the government came after her, or if she happened to discover someone's deep dark secret and they set out to murder her. Naturally, she wasn't about to speak a word of those reasons to Yuki here. [color=92278f][b]"Anyway, the hot topic about you often seems to be about what's between your legs. Oh, hope that wasn't too rude to say, haha!"[/b][/color] Truth be told, Aika worded it that way on purpose. Being somewhat crass was always a good way to shake up the conversation. [color=92278f][b]"No but seriously, some people insist you're one thing and some people insist you're the other. You get that a lot?"[/b][/color] Aika was interested to see just how deep Yuki went into the gender debate. If she had been playing it up herself, then that was one more piece of evidence towards her real purpose in Aika's books. [@Polaris North]
