– Kathy
Now Carmen had been quite calm with the order she gave out, but the other student (Ryuu) that she recognized from the Beach Olympics had a much more dramatic reaction to give. Her eyes widened in surprise as the guy rolled around the floor with his face covered in his hands. “Y-You alright…?” Kathy asked, quite alarmed by the amount of blood she saw staining the guy’s (Ryuu) glove. She couldn’t entirely be sure if he even heard her though, since he seemed quite out of it and dazed.
After giving her paper slip back and taking a new one, she sat back down and looked at Crash, smiling at his encouragement. “Thank you. That was the idea though,” She also glanced over at Ryuu for a moment before continuing, “Apparently what’s ‘harmless’ differs greatly between individuals.”
Then watching an orange-haired girl act as King after her, she thought, ‘A hug is pretty harmless as well.’ Though if she ever had to hug Crash then she would feel incredibly embarrassed again. ‘And happy.’ A little voice inside of her head chimed in. The only thing that kept Code Red from activating once more was the imagination of squashing that tiny voice in her head under her foot, and her own determination not to draw more attention to herself for the rest of the King’s Game. And, predictably, nothing too exciting really happened when the two boys called out hugged. She vaguely recognized Matt from back in the academy and at the bar, but didn’t recognize the other orange-haired boy (Leroy) that was hugged by Matt.
As another round began, Kathy let out a small sigh of relief when she saw that she was not the King again. And she was even more relieved to find that she was not one of the numbers called out by the colourful boy. Her eyes opened wide with surprise, glancing in Maria’s direction to see if this was not one of the dares closer to the dangerous boundaries of what was acceptable. And… Apparently, this was still innocent enough. She looked over at the semi-familiar face (Ryuu) with a look of sympathy. He was really getting all the wrong types of attention from this game.
Then she heard a sound as someone laid their head on the table. “?” Looking there, she saw Lily with her head down. Kathy could see the faintest cheek of red colour despite the girl’s efforts to keep it hidden away completely and wondered, ‘Oh dear… Is that how I look when I’m overly embarrassed?’ She briefly glanced over at Crash, wondering if she really wanted to know the answer to that question or not. Deciding that she didn’t want to know the answer to it at all, she focused her attention back to the girl hiding her face on the table. However, even as she tried to think of a way to comfort Lily, the problem was the fact she had no idea what exactly made Lily so embarrassed in the first place. Bending down for a moment she whispered to Lily, “Um… If it’s any help, even the most embarrassing moments pass on eventually.”
