[Color=burlywood]"M-ma-macchi?"[/color] he stammered to himself as Hikari entertwined their arms in her all but patented arm lock. Knowing that it was practically impossible to break the surprisingly firm hold without hurting himself of the girl, he sent a resigned smile Sadako's way. He remembered her approaching him a few month's back but figured he had pushed her away with his obsession toward becoming a medic. As he listened to Hikari speak, the blond found himself paying closer attention to the ravenette of the group. He could tell that she was becoming uncomfortable however, whether that was due to Hikari's offer to pay for the meal or the way she was speaking about Kyosuke was unclear. Nevertheless, he wanted to helper her get more comfortable. So doing the only thing he could think of he opened his mouth to speak. At least was going to, until Hikari mentioned the next week being perfect for a date. Sputtering at the notion, Masae stumbled on his feet. Fortunately he was saved a rather embarrassing faceplant due to said silverette pulling her, partially, willing companions closer. [Color=burlywood][i]'At this rate I'm going to catch a fever.'[/i][/color] He thought to himself while trying, and failing, to will the blush from his cheeks and ears. As the subject of being placed on the aame team was brought to light, the feminine boy found himself nodding as he spoke almost quietly. [Color=burlywood]"That is one of the most common patterns for teams. A ninjutsu expert, close combat specialist and a medic/support member. The go-to set up for an assault team."[/color] Upon hearing Sadako's view on her own abilities, he sent a reassuring smile before adding,[color=burlywood]"Hey, those Black Rods are pretty useful. Besides, your no slouch in a fight with out them if I remember those taijutsu spars correctly."[/color] Upon entering the family restaurant, Masae took in the decor. It had a homey feel that he could definitely get used to. He didn't make a habit of eating out, a trait he shared with his mother, preferring home cooked meals. Despite that, he could see the appeal. He smiled at Matsushima's joke before gesturing toward Hikari with a cheeky smile. [Color=burlywood]"Perhaps should ask our resident party planner?"[/color]
