Kiyo didn't take being grabbed by the collar very well, to say the least. She glared at Hotaru with wide, furious eyes, and might well have given her a right hook if she didn't have some passing resemblance to Shuuko in both appearance and general energy. [color=firebrick][b]"Shuuko? When the hell did you find time for a makeover?"[/b][/color] She tried to quickly bury her irritable reaction, but some bile still slipped through while she fixed her collar. [color=firebrick][b]"You sure pulled it off, though. If you'd said you were a cousin or something, I'd have believed that just as easily."[/b][/color]

Taking in Shuuko's new look, she only half paid attention to Suki's struggles with their "shared" errand, but the fallen textbook didn't escape her notice. Suki held it close to her chest, and the letter was probably folded somewhere inside, but Kiyo didn't feel a particular need to open it. If Suki didn't want to share, it wasn't really her business. She simply picked it up to make sure no one else ended up finding it. [color=firebrick][b]"It's a bit late for makeup tips, but sure,"[/b][/color] she observed, half-joking.
