Fourth Haiku [Voice]

To any interested in improving their self-defense skills outside of regular classes: kendo club meets in the gymnasium on Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday evenings.

[There's a slight pause, and the click of a lighter.]

At the risk of inviting trouble, I'm entertaining the idea of hosting a history field trip or two over the summer, for those of you who remain on campus. If you have any suggestions that aren't terrible, now's the time to make them.

I think I've got a bit of a wider conversational repertoire than that.

Oh, I know. But a girl's gotta make her own opening, sometimes.

[koukai_kirai]

Your initiative is to be commended.

[diamonds_forever]

I can take that commendation in the form of a date.

[He looks at her image on the screen for a moment, then switches it to private with a slight sigh.]

I'm afraid you've missed your window for that. Anything else I could offer instead?

Re: [video; private]

[diamonds_forever]

... Good. Honestly, it makes me glad to hear that. I'm guessing you and Souji?

[koukai_kirai]

Who else do you know who can keep me in one place?

Re: [video; private]

[diamonds_forever]

Besides your loyalty to Charles?

... But I do mean it. I'm happy for you both. You do hold up a shield around yourself, but you know it's never worked on me.

[koukai_kirai]

That's a different matter.

And you have a unique advantage in that regard, don't you?

Re: [video; private]

[diamonds_forever]

I try not to abuse the privilege.

[video; private]

[koukai_kirai]

I know you do.

[He appreciates it, though he's hardly the sort to go and say things like that.]
