Apparently the meeting had to do with gems. Tsubomi's favorite was always emeralds. Pliny had said they could calm the mind, but to her they were just the best to look at. Green was a nice color on a jewel. Very pretty. 

By pure luck, Tsubomi had been looking at Suki when she looked at her, allowing their eyes to meet for an instant before Suki looked back at Kiyo. Tsubomi's light-less eyes, even with her lack of empathic magic at the moment, could see the panic in her partner's. Her head tilted again and she began her slow walk around the table to stand next to her. 

Of course, by the time she reached her partner's side and put one hand on her shoulder in what she believed to be a comforting gesture, the other attempting to pat her on the head at a speed akin to a car crusher set upon a warship, she'd missed the discussion. But at least it wasn't finished yet.

Her attention was brought halfway away from Suki by Kiyo's musings. Why was the smartest Club member guessing? It seemed pretty clear to Tsubomi. 

[color=00aeef]"Snapdragon's friend is a banana tree."[/color] She didn't have a free hand to count on her fingers, so she did so aloud instead. [color=00aeef]"Snapdragon is one... Crikey is another... and now Banana Tree... That's three."[/color]

The girl's head lulled to the side, then rolled around the back of her neck to be on the opposite side. [color=00aeef]"Three or eight. Nine maybe. But minus two. So one and seven?"[/color] The sensation of the girl's voice wasn't quite [i]confusion[/i], per se, but the question was obvious in it. 

Now that her head was on the right, she rolled it again to be forward, her eyes looking towards the ground. To her, the odds weren't great. The odds were bad, even. [color=00aeef]"Mm... Three and six. Bad odds. Bad odd, bad even."[/color]
