ANNOUNCEMENT 012
[Whoops. She's running a little late it seems, for today, the intercoms buzz into action a little late.]
Ahem. Attention, students!
[The husky voice of - well, the Voice that speaks over the intercom - echoes through the halls.]
Now that we're all done with our bout of spring sickness, it's time to buckle down to our studies! Remember that tests may appear at any time, and it would be such a shame if you were all to fail and be kept back another year.
And don't forget to be welcoming to our new arrivals, won't you? They're quite behind the times, after all.

no subject
[Tossing the comic on the table, he pushes himself up and goes over to stare at the machine, getting something he knows she likes before tossing it over.]
Catch!
[And back to the machine, because he suddenly doesn't feel like that Snickers bar anymore. Maybe something without peanut butter...]
Want a soda too?
no subject
Sure. Just don't throw it at me, okay?
no subject
I'm wounded that you think I would.
[Candy, soda for both of them, check. He smiles a bit as he sets her's on the table before dropping back into his seat.]
I save throwing sodas for people I don't like.
no subject
[Ahh, soda. She takes a drink of it, relaxing back in the chair.]
Like Bakura?
no subject
I've yet to throw a soda at him.
[That's not what she means, Kai. He shrugs and takes a sip, eyeing the far wall over the top of the can.
Then:]
Sort of.
no subject
[Sip. She's more curious than anything else. It's not like she expects Bakura to be a shining paragon of kindness and friendship.]
no subject
Same as last time we talked, pretty much. Tolerating each other.
[He should put his can down, yes. Right there on the table. In a second.
Oh hell, it's not like it's a good way to avoid answering. Kai sets the can down, playing with the ring tab.]
I might've adopted him. Sort of. It's more of a joke than anything.
no subject
no subject
Ah hell.
[He can get another, and it's not like he was attached to it, but geeze. He side-eyes her as he rights the can.]
I said it was more of a joke than serious! But if I'm going to call Ryou kid brother...
[Don't question his logic, he's already doing that.]
Would you rather I start plotting his downfall again?
no subject
It's just... well, nevermind.
[Ah, geeze, she ruined his comic. She feels bad.]
I'll get you another drink.
no subject
[Really, really aware of that. Kai fights off the scowl creeping up, shaking his head as he picks the comic up by the corners.]
It's okay...and don't worry about this, it's the library's thing, not mine.
[Glancing up, he manages a faint smile.] I'm all for ruining stuff that belongs to this place.
no subject
[Yeah, that was an insensitive thing to say, wasn't it. She just gets the drink silently, handing it to Kai without looking at him.]
no subject
[Really, he does. The sooner, the better. He takes the soda, frowning up at her.]
Karasu...
[Soda, meet table, because Kai's reaching out to grab her wrist, trying to tug her down so he can hug her.]
no subject
Karasu blinks, stiff for a moment, then hugs him back, closing her eyes.]
Thanks.
no subject
[He's not mad at her, honestly, just himself. He doesn't hold the hug too long - really, he shouldn't have tried yanking her down in the first place - before he lets go, smiling up at her.]
So I'll save you cake, and we'll have to get those pictures done sometime, right? And the cooking lessons?
[Happy, fun things.]
no subject
Yes! Pictures and cake and cooking lessons... I'm all free for you and Ryou.
no subject
[Very, very different. Kai laughs, slouching in his chair again.]
So now you've been warned too. I can make soup, and sandwiches, and my hamburgers come out mostly charred...you've seen what happens when I cook the poor woodland creatures. Raw in all the wrong places.
[Really, he's happy pre-cooked food exists, whether that means he only has to reheat it or someone else made it.]
