Who: Shiori + Kozue + Tom
What: An accidental meeting
Where: Some street
When: Evening?
Why: What girl doesn't like a puppy?

Walking around without her sketchbook had sounded easy enough. It wasn't like she constantly had it with her or anything - when she went shopping that one time, she didn't have it with. Or... or...

Who was she kidding? She always had it with her, and it had become like an extension of her body. She hadn't realized how often she would whip it out to doodle some amusing or picturesque sight, but now that she was walking around town without it she was becoming increasingly aware of how often she used it. It was like a crutch, almost. Her convenient, portable escape from the real world. Real life was almost a scary place to be without it.

And then she saw a puppy coming her way. A cute, adorable little puppy. Immediately scampering over to it, she knelt down carefully to pet the thing. Giggling as it licked her hand, she finally looked up at the owner.

"It's so cute! Is it a boy or a g-" she began saying before she realized who it was. Quickly hurrying, she brushed off her knees before bowing lowly. "S-sorry, Sagaki-senpai! I didn't see you!"

Nevermind he was the one walking the dog.

Tom starred for a moment. He was completely thrown by how excited Shiori was. He scratched the puppies ears, and tried not to smile as the creature tried climbing up his chest to lick his face more.

Tom finally set him down on the ground, and wrapped the leash around his hand. He looked back and fourth between Shiori and Kozue and silently began to follow them, not keen on revealing any *more* personal details.

"Mm, it might be nice," Kozue said, rather noncomittally, following along behind the now-excited Shiori. It was strange, what things this girl seemed to get enthusiastic about.

So, what were they supposed to chat about? They were from three different years, were in different clubs - wait, was Sagaki actually in any clubs? - and didn't have anything in common except for Paradise. She could have talked more about the dorms, she supposed - Shiori had liked hearing about them and Tom lived there. Or could have asked Tom how he liked being hafu at Nanakamado, but - oh, no, can of worms, not going there.

So she settled for a rather neutral, pedestrian, "So, what have you two been up to since we were all last together?" It was completely normal as long as all details of when we were together last were ignored. You know, the tentacle monster details.

	"I've been.... researching for a school project." Tom walked with his head down, and his hands in his pockets. The puppy, now on the ground trailed at his heals. The leash didn't seem necessary, as the puppy kept up with Tom's pace, and never once needed to be pulled along. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Blinking, Shiori wondered what was with the pause. And what kind of school project he could be doing. Maybe it was some third year thing..? But Satou-senpai would've complained about it, wouldn't he? Anything that would keep him away from women seemed to incur his wrath.

"What kind of project?" she asked curiously, swinging her arms as she ambled along with them. She was surprised that the puppy was following so obediently. He was a good boy.

"I was just taking a walk. Gotta get used to doing it without my notebook," she said, smiling half-heartily.

	"Oh, you--without your notebook?" Kozue asked, two points of curiosity troubling her. First, what, Shiori didn't go anywhere without her sketchbook? And second, why was she abandoning it now? Clearly, it didn't make her too happy. "Are you putting it aside for some reason, Wakanata-sempai?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Tom looked away, at the mention of a school project. In truth he was researching Paradise, and didn't want to talk about it in public. He thouth the girls would get that.
Thankfully Kozue had managed to switch topics. He looked to Shiori, and spoke in his usual deadpan.

"Yeah, I can understand you cutting back in school, or ... other dangerous situations. But you do have a lot of skill, I wouldn't imagine someone with that much talent would just stop doing what's important to them in times when it wouldn't get in the way."

Interlacing her fingers behind her back, Shiori moved forward once again and turned to face them as she walked backwards.

"I'm practicing!" she said, "I gotta get used to not having my sketchbook with me, so I don't get really anxious and go into a withdrawal or something at that place. I still draw at home, don't worry! I just... don't carry it with me anymore."

It was like leaving a limb behind. But...

"Eh? Have you seen my pictures before, Sagaki-san?" Shiori asked, trying to think of where he could have.

	"As long as you can make some of those really funny drawings when you get home - like - did you finish the one of Satou-sempai without his shirt?" She giggled, and kept on walking, swinging her arms a little. She had to step fast to keep up with the other two, but she didn't mind it. She was kind of used to that by now, really.

Tom nodded to Shiori's question.

"I saw the ones you did when we were doing that large canvas thing. You wanted to prevent Kondo and I from messing it up. It was very detailed. I imagine you have quite a bit of skill having spent so much time practicing, but I imagine there was a good bit of talent to begin with."

The way Tom said it, the comment was obviously not intended as a compliment. It was simply, in Tom's mind an honest assessment of skill.

Shiori blinked, thinking back on what Sagaki could be referring to. She never drew on canvases aside from the couple of times she went to an art club meeting, so what could he be...

And then it hit her. The shadow world, where they had that game of who could paint the most space. She hadn't even thought of covering as much space as she could - she just wanted to make a picture. To be honest, she had forgotten about the whole thing and was more than a little surprised that Sagaki had remembered. And was paying her such compliments.

Grinning, she thanked him with a quick bow before giggling as she straightened.

"I finished the picture of Satou-senpai while we were there!" Shiori told Kondo. "It's a bit sketchier than I'd like it, but it's done!"
