WHO: Renju, open.
WHAT: Talking and pastry.
WHEN: 7:30 PM sharp on the evening after the bonus boss.
WHERE: A bakery near Noodle Alley.
WHY: Things need discussing, and Renju needs comfort food.

Renju didn't want to admit it, but the walk to the bakery had winded her. Paradise, training with Tom, and her general activity level had all helped her endurance lately, but long walks had always tired her out, and today had been exhausting in more ways than one. (Did Paradise always tire her out this much? It had on her other trips, but she'd chalked that up to not being used to it.)

But now she was here, and the anpan was just as delicious as Maeko had claimed. She had a short stack of the little buns piled neatly next to her plate on the table, and was working her way through a ham-and-cheese crepe dosed heavily with pepper just to say she'd eaten some sort of actual meal today. She didn't have much of an appetite right now, but skipping meals would cause more problems than it solved.

Like a lot of other things today. But from what she'd gathered, she'd have at least one person to talk to about that shortly.

He looked at her suprised then slowly a smile crept on his face. She wanted to remain antonomus, well that would be easy enough to do, but still, the coy act wasn't fooling him. He recognized what was going on here and grinned.

"Come now Sakuraba-san, you need not hide such things. It's not like I would tell anyone," he grinned and rested his head between his hands as he leaned on the back of the booth. "It's adorable the way you three are doing this. I knew you were a shy girl, but I didn't expect you to have such wonderful taste like Renju-chan. Should I congradulate you now, or later I wonder."

He chuckled, "Kozue-chan, you sly devil, this is certainly a match made in heaven. The perfect shojo pairing...well if the pairing were two girls. Sakuraba-sama as the strong silent sports girl who's known that she's always had a soft spot for the book worm that she met in the library. And Renju-chan as the soft spoken girl who didn't know she had such a firey passion in her till she met Sakuraba-sama. Oh my my my, this is well worth the watching. So do tell, which of you confessed to Kozue-chan first hummm?"

What was this even. What.

Kozue just stared up at the Student Council President, trying to keep the growing horror, confusion, irritation, and (bizarrely enough) giggling from bursting out of her. He thought what? And, wait a minute, how come Masami got to be Masami-hime, Renju Renju-sama, and she was Kozue-chan? Where did he get off with that kind of familiarity? He wasn't even that much older than her!

It was kind of funny in its embarrassing way, though she probably would have been infinitely less amused had she been the one that the Student Council President had somehow, inscrutably, decided was a lesbian. How had he jumped to that conclusion, anyway?

"We're just talking about the Tea Club, actually, Retsu-sempai," Kozue finally managed to chime in. "Sonozaki-sempai and I were interested in joining it and Sakuraba-sempai was kind enough to sit down and talk with us about it."

"Tea Club? This is the first I've heard of this?" He looked at Masami, "You do know that all clubs have to run through the Student council before they are offically okayed right?"

Gendou paused and smirked just then, "Ohhhhh, of coure Tea club, how silly of me. I'm sure though that you'll make lovely teas together. I see I see, say no more. So, how long has this um...Tea club been going on?"

He gave Kozue a wink as if to say, Ahh...I see where you're going with this...

Renju had absolutely no idea where to even begin with this. There were so many levels on which it was outright wrong... A point-by-point refutation of this bizarre idea he'd cooked up seemed almost pointless, and more time-consuming than it was worth. When she spoke, it was as calm as she usually was, but there was an undercurrent of anger that was not at all typical of her.

"I don't understand where this elaborate fantasy of yours came from, Retsu-senpai, but this is nothing of the sort. This is about club business, nothing more, and I'd appreciate it if you'd leave us to discuss it."

She fell silent for a brief moment before speaking up again, unable to resist one more note. "And I feel I should add that the Tea Ceremony Club has been officially chartered at least since I've been at the school, senpai."

"Well I'll have to look into it, I might be mistake in this factor, heaven knows that Akuba-himi's been playing around with the records. It's rather tiresome trying to figure out what goes on in that girl's mind. One minute she's all business the next instant she wants to drop whatever we're doing and check up on Aoi-chan. It's really rather distracting." He shook his head some. "Mind you she dose keep things in order so I really ought not to complain."

He smiled at Renju in a almost shark like way, "Come now Renju-sama, you really shouldn't be trying to cover up such romantic things. I can understand your shy factor, but please, I have my own relationship so...I can understand the fear and nervousness. But I must say that Sakuraba-sama is quite the catch. IF I was a female I would happily submit to her."

Okay, this was getting more and more uncomfortable. And that last comment just put the icing on the cake, pun mostly intended. Now, he was making assumptions about the girl on girl bedroom life of two of his schoolmates who he'd just chanced to see together at a bakery? Dude had issues. Maybe his relationship wasn't working

Kozue bit her lip. Just. How could they get rid of him without actually having to chase him away? "Would you mind letting us get back to our discussion, now, Restu-sempai?"

Masami's already very limited patience with Gendou - no, maybe it was her patience in general - was now just about to run out. Taking a moment to collect herself, Masami looked Gendou straight in the eye, and though her expression remained cool and collected, it was clear from the look in her eyes that she had had just about enough of the student council president's foolishness.

"...Senpai, if you've said all you're going to say, then please, kindly leave us. Now."

Her tone was steady and calm the whole way through... until that last word, which showed more than a small hint of annoyance. Hopefully he'd finally get the idea with that.

"Oh very well, I just found it a bit of entertainment," he sighed in a elegant way. He knew his time was up with the girls. Still it was well worth it, something a bit more interesting then hearing about the life insurance polices of the people in the hospital.

Getting up and nodded to them in turn, "Kozue-himi, Matsumi-himi, Renju-himi, I thank you for this evening's amusment. I do hope I didn't put a damper on your spirits. I'll be seeing you in school then?"

Kozue nodded a bit curtly to the Student Council President, and, after he'd finally departed, turned back to the two 'love birds'. Oh, those poor girls, if anyone else from school had been witness to Gendou's ridiculous show and chain of horrible theories.

"I'm sorry… You were talking about taking some people back there, Sakuraba-sempai?" Kozue gave an appropriate weight to back there, when she spoke: Back There was really more like it.

	Masami watched Gendou finally leave in silence, doing her best not to cast an annoyed glare at his back. She took a moment to calm herself down while Kozue spoke. "Yeah, I was hoping you two wouldn't be against it..." Masami couldn't really think of anything else to say. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"It's something that needs to be done." It took some time after Gendou left for Renju to cool down, and she'd finished off one of the pastries in between when he'd left and when Masami finished speaking. "I don't intend to leave anyone in there to die." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Kozue nodded—and looked down at Renju's pastries, man, those looked tasty—no, wait, focus. Paradise. Shadows. Team. Not getting fat.

"I don't intend to do that either. I mean, we have a responsibility now, I guess you could say. And I want to be able to go back without worrying that my teammates will start arguing, or fighting each other instead of the real enemies."

	Masami was glad that both Renju and Kozue were agreeable. It was something less common than it should be among the old team. "Thanks. So... who else do you think we should talk to about this? I was thinking of talking to Nawanaka-san..." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

A slight frown crossed Renju's face briefly when Toshimi was mentioned, but she said nothing about that. "We should also talk to Tanaka-senpai and Oubai-san. Ishinomori-kun might be too involved with the others to be interested in us..."

It seemed like the original group from the museum was going to be reassembling, plus a few additions. How had they all gotten together that time, anyway? For the life of her, she couldn't quite remember, even though it had only been a month ago...

Kozue just nodded. "I don't know what Ishinomori-kun plans to do, but I can always pass him a note in class or something. As for Tanaka-sempai, Oubai-sempai, and Nawanaka-sempai… they all seem like they have their priorities in order, too."

"I think that's..." She stopped, and mentally ticked over the rest of the team. "I could ask Kiriko-san, if you all weren't against that," she offered. "And if she'd come separately from Shirai-san."

Masami nodded, "I agree, we should definitely talk to Oubai-san and Tanaka-senpai. I have nothing wrong with Ikeda-san, but... I wonder if she could be separated from Shirai-san..."

Masami then also realized that it'd be the group that had awakened at the museum, minus one member - for some reason, Masami could have sworn there had been a fourth person who had awakened during the trip to the museum, but for the life of her she simply couldn't place who it was - and plus a couple others. Interesting coincidence, that.
