SLIGHT DETOUR
Kiriko had just stepped forward to announce her participation when her phone rang. She stopped at having barely gotten an "I" out and looked towards her bag, rummaging around in it and eventually withdrawing her cell. When she did take it out, she looked almost suprised to see it ringing in her hand, and then sour upon noticing the number calling. Smiling apologetically to both Kozue and Yoshimi, she flicked the cell open and lifted it to her ear.
"Hello?" Her tone was irritable but not quite impolite, though she chewed the inside of her lip and tapped her foot impatiently as she waited for the person on the other line to proceed with whatever they were saying. About halfway through, something being said on the other line made her jaw drop. Her eyes darted around the room, met nervously with her friends congregating for a game, and she had the presence of mind to hold up a finger before retreating into the crowd, muttering frantically into the phone as she headed for the door.
