MENTIONS:[/color] Kimiko, Yurie, Juni
-------------[/center]

If Kaede had been in Yurie's shoes, she might have suspected something amiss as well. After all, nothing in this world was free. Still, Kaede wasn't one to offer something and expect (or demand) a favor in return.

She gave a little nod of her head at the first question, gazing idly at the other girl. [color=db7272]"I always carry a spare in case my lunch spills or for situations like this."[/color] It was always good to be prepared, was it not? After all, this thinking was going to save Yurie from relying on melon bread and half of Kimiko's meal. She'd been about to answer Yurie, but Kimiko beat her to it. She gave the respective girl a little nod in affirmation. [color=db7272]"That's my name, yes."[/color] She turned back to Yurie. [color=db7272]"And no, I'm not their friend. I overheard a student complaining that he was swindled out of his curry bread by a certain someone, and I just happened to see that it was true. I heard the gossip surrounding him, but I wanted to give the benefit of the doubt."[/color]

The someone in particular seemed satisfied with the curry bread and was relaxing in his chair at a dangerous angle. Was he not worried about shifting his weight incorrectly? She couldn't help but admire that bravery. [color=db7272]"Careful. If you stick your nose up any further a bug might fly in and call it home."[/color] Kaede told him.

Was it true? Probably not. Would he believe her and gain a sense of paranoia? Maybe.
