Hakuro's response took Kenzan a bit by surprise, not that it showed in the indifferent expression he always wore, since most people didn't have the inherent respect to [i]not[/i] bother him. Even when it was obvious he didn't want to be. [color=00a99d][b]"Fair enough."[/b][/color] He knew his classmate was a bit...odd, but he didn't have reason to dislike him. Besides Hakuro was in the drama club and that bunch had always been strange to him. Not that he was really one to talk, he hunkered off in the hard to see places around the school and didn't talk to anyone in more than short sentences.

He watched lazily as Hakuro wandered over to the doors to look out and didn't bother standing until he was addressed again. He pulled the hood up on the gray jacket he was wearing and hauled his backpack off the ground from where he'd tossed it. He still wasn't completely sure if he even wanted to deal with another person, but he'd already agreed and it was impolite to back out now. Besides, if he said he was with someone else maybe his mother would stop pestering him.

[color=00a99d][b]"The bookstore will let us hunker down for a while,"[/b][/color] he glanced at Hakuro out of the corner of his eye for a brief moment before looking back out the doors, [color=00a99d][b]"I've never had an issue waiting out storms there before."[/b][/color] He wasn't sure if his classmate was fishing for information, but it honestly didn't really matter. Wasn't like there was anything he could really do with it. He didn't need to know just how much time Kenzan spent sequestered away amongst the shelves of the bookstore trying to avoid imposed responsibility or schoolwork. Nearly past closing on more than one occasion. Just another reason be annoyed with the new rules brought on by the death of the Prime Minister.

Personally he hadn't really spent much time at Watanabe's, but he had no problem going and looking around. It was one of those locations that had always been on his radar, but he'd just never found the reason to go. [color=00a99d][b]"Honestly, either one is fine. Anywhere is better than hanging around the school."[/b][/color] [color=00a99d][i]or going home.[/i][/color] He pulled out his other earbud, not that it had been playing anything anymore, to shove them into his pocket. They were fairly expensive and the last thing he needed was them getting rained on. One last check to make sure he'd tucked everything that could potentially get damaged by the water he prepared to brave the weather.
