WHO: Renju, Tom.
WHAT: Coincidence.
WHEN: Before the festival, after school (so backdated a bit).
WHERE: Inside Nanakamado.
WHY: This thread is long overdue, and the original reasons for it are probably invalid, but damned if I'm not doing it anyway.

Being in the same room as certain people in her class when unsupervised by a teacher (or without the stabilizing influence of Paradise) was remarkably exhausting, Renju was coming to realize. She had barely done anything in that "planning" session, but it was almost as tiring as a dungeon run. She still had only the vaguest idea of what her role was going to be in all this; there was some mention of pandas that, for the sake of her sanity, she refused to put any stock in.

At least she wasn't going to be doing anything in that ridiculous haunted house. Yet.

It was fairly late by the time she'd managed to get out of there, and with all the work she had to do and the minimal time she had to do it, she figured she might as well skip dinner and spend some quality time with the library. It had been a while, after all, and even with all her attempts to mix things up since everything had happened, she couldn't say she didn't miss it.

Tom pursed his lips.

"Technically I have." He paused, knowing that would never be enough of an answer for her. He rolled his eyes slightly.

"If it will make you feel better, I'll at least attend one of the culture festival events." He pushed a stray lock of hair from his face, then blinked for a second, running over the planned events in his mind.

"Provided it's not the 3-B one. It involves dancing vegetables, and is just confusing."

"Dancing vegetables?" Renju decided quickly that it was better not to pursue that particular line of conversation, lest it drive her even more mad. "... in any case, I recommend staying well away from 2-B's. It's unlikely to go well."

Though she was tacitly acquiescing to the compromise, it was clear from her tone that she wasn't satisfied with it. Still, at least progress was being made, and she'd gotten him to start making some contact with the outside world again. The rest would come later.

Then again, she decided on a little more thought, perhaps it was time to do some of it now. "Also, I intended to ask you this earlier, but would you be willing to resume our training?" Long past time, really.

Tom's eyes widened slightly at the request. He hesitated slightly before answering. Previous experiences had made him wary, but he knew that that was his issue, that fear had driven him into Paradise once.

"Um... right, we can continue. Not attending class might make setting a room aside hard. The one I had gotten for us might still be empty, or we could use my old dorm room. It's still empty."

"I'm wary of using school facilities for this, given how much of our evidence points to people here being involved."

Renju's shoulders had relaxed visibly, as though a weight she hadn't even known was there had been lifted from them. She hadn't really admitted it before, but everything that had come between them had been gnawing at her subtly since--not in a romantic way, but in the sense that Tom had been one of the first... something-like-friends she'd had. Now that she was being more honest with herself, she was glad not to have lost him entirely.

Even if he did have his flaws.

"Your dorm room would be the better of the two, I think. Or the Butterfly Room."

	Tom nodded, and smiled slightly. He missed the time they had spent training, if nothing else, the situation with Seiko meant that he would feel far less awkward spending the time with Renju now. "Ther Butterfly room then, we have infinite space as far as I know, and we know we'll be safe there." (Reply to this) (Parent)
