"A rodeo," Aoi answered with a long sigh. What? It was true, after all. Trying to reign them all in and keep them all calm and proper-like was basically impossible without the threat of not getting to eat any of Aoi's wonderful culinary artistry. Practically a testament to the fact that Aoi was just [i]that[/i] good at putting together food. If he could say anything about being sickly and stuck inside for long periods of time, it's that it gave a great amount of free time to hone any particular skills.

Aoi's movements sped up, his morbid curiosity was plaguing him. Once within the classroom, he looked up and began analyzing Souls within the vicinity. [i]'There. Beside Sa-,'[/i] he cut his thoughts off and shook his head. Wasn't a good idea to be staring at his sister's partner. He could question him after classes. Or hopefully the teacher would assign them some group work that didn't end up having to be with their respective partners. Though he did end up taking the seat directly beside Kiel. Just to be safe. --- Ilya was forcibly pulled up by her meister like a limp noodle. There wasn't really any resistance, it [i]was[/i] his idea to go to class. Besides, if she didn't have to use up valuable energy pulling himself off the ground, then so be it. "Thankies," Ilya said to Flint with a fake little bow before opting to skip cheerfully after her meister to the classroom.
