Kuhaku Shiro - Am I being Detained? Am I free to go?
"Hee!"
Shiro's ear and tail stood straight up in shock as one of Sapphire's knives once again found their way into the wood of the door frame. For the second time today too, just after lunch. His body easing up slightly, Shiro sighed and looked at the ground. Scratching the back of his head as his tail lazily swept at the air behind his legs. Looking back up and turning around, Shiro looked rather disappointed. "Man, you really know how to start a nice conversation with someone who's supposed to have your back. If this is how you start off every conversation with people you know, I'd hate to see how you greet your enemies." Grinning, Shiro shook his head. "Also, I have a name as do you. I'm Kuhaku Shiro. You're Sapphire Rode. Let's keep it like that, okay? You and I aren't necessarily on friendly terms so I'd appreciate it if you didn't give me 'pet' names."
His eyes lazily gazed at the picture Sapphire brought up on her Scroll. He knew what the picture was, but he was going to continue feigning ignorance. At the very least it would rile Sapphire up to the point where she may just give up on the conversation and leave. Of course, he couldn't keep up his fibs for long. If she was persistent and continued to press the issue, Shiro was too honest to keep up a lie. So, he shrugged when he saw the photo of the pill bottle.
"Okay?"
He made a motion with his hands as he shrugged his shoulders.
"Looks like a picture of some medication. What else do you want to know?"
His day was going okay. Not the best start, but he was still having a good day. For some reason, Sapphire always seemed to dampen his cheerful mood. Honestly, he was tiring of his leader. He had every full intention of speaking to her after school, when they could give each other the undivided attention that their conversation would need. But the way his precious leader approached and addressed everything with such cold hostility was seriously starting to piss him off. She lacked tact.
At the worst possible time, Robert walked into the room. It appeared that the guy had gotten lost and entered the absolutely wrong classroom. As Shiro looked at Robert, his expression started to twist into one of intense anger. Great, how many more people were going to learn that Shiro had to medicate to keep his 'issues' in check? He had half a mind to scare off the guy by blasting him with a roar, but that would only attract more attention. No, instead...
An idea popped into his head.
"Hey, Robert!"
His expression immediately brightened.
"Did you get lost?"
Duh.
"Y'know what, I feel like helping a buddy out. What class do you have? I have a better sense of direction and can get you there just in time!"
He stalked forward and grabbed Robert by the shoulders, spinning him around and back out of the classroom.
"Don't worry about it, I was just having a chit-chat with Sapphire. You weren't interrupting anything! What say we get ourselves to class right quick, huh?"
Shiro just managed to push Robert out of the threshold of the door, a few steps out himself.
He better.
Shiro never apologised for interrupting Team VGNB's pizza.
He attempted to at the arcade!
That just ended a lot sooner than I thought.
Gratia's just hanging on her lonesome in Armory. Who'll approach her first, I wonder.
It's probably going to Vega, isn't it, shadowkiller?
Nope, probably Shiro. He's going to want to get whatever class has in store for him done and out of the way. He'll be sitting up front.
<Snipped quote by Prince of Seraphs>
True, but now that I have at least one person's permission it will happen for sure.
Consent is important, folks.
If you do have Robert stumble in on their heart-to-heart, Shiro's going to more than likely use him as some cop out to bounce.
Kuhaku Shiro - Being Manhandled
Shiro sighed, his ears drooping. He didn't want the process of doing maintenance eat up all of his time and prevent him from spending time with friends. One thing was certain, he would be running a little late afterwards. Come to think of it, did Gren specify a time?
"Aww, man. The curing process alone would take-"
His ears perked up, hearing a familiar voice call out to him.
Whirling around, he blinked when he recognized the face of his team leader.
But, why was she calling out his name?
Tilting his head, he blinked again. Was he seeing things or..
"Sapphire? What-"
She swiftly snaked her way through the other students on their way to class and managed to grab his arm in a particularly sensitive spot. Causing him to wince, sucking air in through his teeth.
"Ow! Hey, what are you-!"
Before he knew it, he was practically shoved backwards.
Tripping over his own feet, he fell and rolled clumsily into a vacant room.
Standing up as Sapphire closed the door and cut on the lights, he held a hand to his head. One eye shut in slight annoying pain. Irritated, he sharply questioned her. "Oi, what gives?" His aggravation with her died when he heard the serious tone in her voice. Whatever it was, apparently it was important and critical enough to risk being late to class. When she mentioned the need to talk, he already half knew what she wanted to talk about but he didn't want to let her know that. Ears slightly drooping, he rubbed the back of his head as his eyes flitted to and fro. Unable to maintain eye contact, he feigned blissful ignorance.
"U-uh...No? I don't think I do know what this is about. Buut...can't it wait until after classes or something? We're going to be late and I hate being late, soo...Tootles!..." Nonchalantly walking past his leader, he reached for the door and was just about to open it.

I meant remove Sapphire's materials from the shipment before she has a chance to pick them up making it look like they were "lost in transit" but it looks like that won't really be necessary now.
<Snipped quote by Crimmy>
Interest wouldn't exactly be the word I would use but she's at least more comfortable around him than most everyone else at Beacon.
Posted for once. Here's your chance to stir up some shit with Shiro.
He's lost in thought about other distractions at the moment.
Kuhaku Shiro - Lunch > Armory Class
Shiro had his usual smile on as he walked at a surprisingly normal pace to his next class. He was humming randomly, no particular tune in mind. Excited to spend another night on the town after classes with friends and future friends-to-be. Unfortunately, he had other things in mind. A prior planned arrangement, if you would. Opening up his Scroll, he added some personal reminder notes. First thing was first, he had to take care of his equipment before he could allow himself to have a little fun. His weapons had sustained a bit of damage to them in his spar with Luke. At the time, Shiro didn't detect any significant damage to the metal of Kladenets. But, he worried that upon closer inspection the geisteel/siderite alloy may have been gouged. If not, then all the better. At the very least, the protective coating on the blade was sheared off by Luke's unique drill weapons. The process to restore the coating would take some hours, half of which he could accomplish in Armory if the teacher had nothing else in mind. The other half would have to be done right after classes let out.
Frowning, a little sad that his precious sword was nicked and marred, he absently shrugged. Ah, well. He'd have to get used to the upkeep of his battle rattle, especially once his team took on more missions. More future sparring matches and there was always the Vytal Festival. He couldn't realistically expect his gear to remain in pristine, sparkling condition. He would have to work hard to keep them that way, himself. Ears twitching, he couldn't remember if Gren had extended the invitation to everyone or just a select few. But, knowing him he probably would say "The more, the merrier!" which was all fine to Shiro. Shooting a text to Sepia, he decided to personally invite her.
From: Kuhaku Shiro
To: Sepia Russet
Subject: Afterschool
Body:
"Hey! Not sure if you heard while we ate lunch at the Deli N' Doul, but my buddy Gren is having a get-together afterschool! Would you like to come? If not, you'll make me sadface..
Respond and let me know as soon as you can! See you at Practice Class!"
Smiling a little wider, Shiro locked his Scroll and pocketed it. Half-way to Armory Class, he ran through the processes of recoating his weapons. Quietly muttering to himself.
"First, I'll have to disassemble Kladenets as I'll only need to recoat part of it. Secondly, soak the part in a degreasing solution for about 10-15 minutes. Third, I'll have to sandblast the old coating off... What PSI and grit was it again? Agh, I'll have to look that up. Shoot, what was the time length for gassing it out?" He sighed.
"I guess when I get to the 'Gas Out' phase I'll have to save that for after classes let out.." Shiro continued to softly murmur to himself, strolling his merry way to Armory. Mind a clutter as he focused his energy and attention to remembering exactly how was it that he applied the protective coating to his weapons. It had been some time since he last did it. Not often that you have someone take a literal drill to your equipment.

This is an acceptable loss.
Tell Oswald. Make fun of him for not hating Sapphire.
SET THE SHIP ASAIL!
Hah?
@harinezumikouken @Lucius Cypher @Multi_Media_Man @Guess Who
The materials for Sapphire's new nightmare blades arrive at school tomorrow IC time. So if you guys want to attempt a retrieval sooner would be better. Unless Gren wants to make the materials disappear upon arrival giving you more time.
I'm probably going to have Shiro skip Computer Science to accomplish this.
