Just Some Boiling Dangos

"A lot... eeeh..." she exclaimed, though with a low voice.
Was it because of her sister? Kyou-oneechan is definitely famous... She wasn't sure if that should be reassuring, being known even by a kouhai. While there were a lot of things she envied about her older sister, fame... she wasn't quite sure she could handle it, much more like it.
She decided not to think that much about it. She was starting to get a pile of things she didn't want to think about. She sighed to herself, then perked up as Furukawa-san began another conversation, this time she was included. Even though they were of the same age and were both girls, she was still a bit surprised to be called Ryou... though she guessed she should have expected it, since 'Fujibayashi-san' would just be confusing... though Okazaki always called her Fujibayashi, and then her sister, Kyou...
The drama club? Furukawa-san didn't strike her as the actress-type of person... in fact, she hadn't even noticed her until this year, when Okazaki-kun had begun helping her out. Was she really a part of their batch? Possibly a transfer student? Because if she'd been around for three years, it was rather strange she didn't even remember her face that much... and she wants to make a drama club... the younger Fujibayashi would have understood if she had been privy to the conversation earlier, but right now...
"Drama Club?" she said. "I think you'd need an adviser, and two more people who are interested..." she continued, her eyes a little glazed as she recalled. She put her finger just below her lips, just above her chin. "Then when you have your members and your adviser, you submit your proposal." she ended.
"Anou... if it's alright to ask... why does Furukawa-san want to restart the Drama Club?" Ryou asked, not really aware that the question had been asked a while ago. Would Furukawa-san care to repeat?

Shou giggled away to herself, crossing one leg over the other. It was very amusing, and she was easily amused by people that required little to no fuel to start a raging inferno of embarrassment, and a string of stuttering. Nagisa was ticking all the boxes, and now... Shou's master plan had it's seeds sown. She needed to water them before they'd grow, and bear fruit. She relaxed, mulling over her options, and, how to carry out phase two of her brilliant scheme. She did make sure to pay attention to Ryou's hushed voice.
"A lot... eeeh..."
A smug as one could possibly be, Shou did her best to try and disguise it as friendly smiling. She waved off Ryou's almost fearful concerns. She could understand that one might know a lot about her, thanks to her overly-aggressive sibling, with a penchant for introducing literary items to certain unsavory people in the worst way. Shou thought that at least maybe they'd learn something from a book. Mentally congratulating herself on a winning joke, Shou, herself spoke up, when the two had finished speaking..
"Don't worry. It's nothing bad. You're my cousin's class rep. You must know Otomo Kojiro. About five seven, blue eyes. Totally gaga for your older sister?" Shou asked, lifting her foot up to point at Ryou.
"He said it's interesting to watch your fortune telling Fujibayashi-senpai. He said he'd stand up for you when some of the idiots get a little too eager, but he needs to focus on his grades and not get into trouble starting unnecessary fights," Shou continued, narrowing her eyes deviously, as she fabricated a lie, "he also noticed Okazaki seems to look at you a lot when he's not dozing off."
Sliding across to Nagisa, she playfully nudged her shoulder, throwing on the biggest Cheshire cat grin she could.
"You hear that Furukawa-senpai? Okazaki might just have a light in his eye for Fujibayashi Ryou-senpai. You've got some competition!" Shou announced loudly. It was a good thing that the boys were making quite the racket, lest someone hear.
I am a genius...
She soon returned to relaxing, one leg submerged, one not. Her little deception could make them love rivals. It also gave Kyou competition, against her own sister no less. That might guilt her into backing off. It was cruel, but Shou reasoned she was being cruel to be kind. Ryou had seemingly saved her by interjecting with a question regarding Nagisa's wishes to restart the dying club's heart.

Nagisa simply stayed quiet as Shou focused her conversation onto Ryou. It was nice getting out from the embarrassing spotlight Shou had put on her. It was confusing to Nagisa that Shou kept talking about Okazaki so much and trying to imply that he liked her or something. Nagisa didn’t feel that way about Okazaki; they had just met, and he was just a friend. Besides, he didn’t seem like he was interested in the whole dating scene, though then again he didn’t seem that interested in anything really. Still, now that Ryou had put the idea in her mind, Nagisa was interested in figuring out just why he was helping her with the Drama Club. Just doing it cause he was ‘bored’ didn’t really soothe any of her concerns…
At about that moment, Shou was brushing up against her and suggesting that Ryou was a competitor for Okazaki. Just as he was getting calmed down, Shou was again forcing her to blush and fluster. What was with this girl? Nagisa wanted to be her friend but she wasn’t sure if she could keep handling this. Nagisa wasn’t interested in Okazaki like that; if he wanted Ryou, then Nagisa was glad for him and hoped he did his best. As long as Ryou of course would say yes, but Nagisa wouldn’t try and force anything like that.
”I-if Okazaki is interested in Ryou, that’s okay with me….a-as long as that’s fine with you Ryou.” Nagisa responded, looking at Ryou. Then she realized she was basically doing to Ryou what Shou had been doing to her.
”I’m sorry for putting you on the spotlight like that….let’s just move the conversation onto something else please…” Nagisa responded, wanting to just move on. That, of course, lead to her talking about the Drama Club, and Ryou wondering why exactly she was wanting to open the club. Nagisa was glad to hear though that all she needed to find was an adviser and she could get the club open, as long as Shou and Koji kept up their offer of joining the club.
”Oh, well, you see, I’ve always admired those who could get in front of a crowd and perform. And, well, I also thought it would be fun to have all my friends work together on a giant project. That’s really about it. Unfortunately I haven’t had any practice with drama so I really don’t know too much about it except there’s this one play I’ve been wanting to do. But thank you for telling me on how to get it started.”
This just left the issue of who would be the adviser for the club. Nagisa needed to think of which teacher to ask about advising the club. Who was in charge of it last year?
”Uhm…do you know who was the adviser last year?”

"Otomo-san..." As the class representative, of course she knew her classmates, even at least by face and by name. And she'd heard from her sister quite a bit about Otomo-san, how... he'd approached her. At about the same time as Haru-kun, huh? "So he's your cousin..." While they were relatives, Ryou wondered why Aizawa-san would call her own cousin 'gaga'. Perhaps that was simply the level of infatuation, or Aizawa-san was simply prone to exaggeration?
She found herself speaking more than she had planned to; the girl simply said things one had to reply to. "Please tell him thank you from me." she said, though she had this feeling that Aizawa was putting words into her cousin's mouth. After all, Okazaki-kun... would watch out for her, mainly because if something happened to her, Kyou might think it was his fault and attack him first. That's... probably exaggeration.
And so, for a moment, the junior did not get the response she had expected. Ryou merely looked pensive, and perhaps even a little distressed. She sighed. Perhaps in an earlier time, she would have gotten flustered, toying with the possibility that Okazaki-san found her, at the very least, just as interesting as her twin sister. But she had had a dilemma to think about, and thinking about it too much had made her thoughtful, if at least for this moment. Okazaki-kun... Tomoya-kun... Admiration can be very different from understanding, huh?
"Oneechan... likes Okazaki-kun." she said, gazing up to the heavens, sounding very much unlike herself. She had known it for so long, and sometimes she had been hesitant in her appreciation of the infamous delinquent, because of it; but her sister had always nudged her forward, whenever she said what she felt, what she wished for, what she wanted. Perhaps she had been a little spoiled.
"And Okazaki-kun... probably likes... no one. Yet." She had noticed the blankness in his eyes, the lacking in his motions, the hollowness of his laughter. Perhaps that was what she admired the most from him; that he continued on, despite looking, despite being like that. She did not know the details... but he had dropped out of some scholarship, like Sunohara-san. Perhaps she had been drawn by that. She had not understood it.
"It's okay, Furukawa-san." The spotlight may be uncomfortable for her, but she was also the focus of attention when she was doing fortunetelling. She could handle an audience of two... probably.
She nodded as she heard her fellow senior's reasons. She admired the simplicity of those reasons. To be together with everybody... and here she was thinking about love, about relationships... there is happiness being simply with those one is near to. With friends. "I don't know who the adviser was last year. Sorry, Furukawa-san."
Maybe she should ask them. They'd have... rather different viewpoints. Besides, it had been rattling in her head, and will be good conversation, as long as details don't surface out too much. Details would probably be problematic for someone as enthusiastic as Aizawa-san. "Say, if you're forced to pick... who would you choose..."
"...somebody you admire, or somebody who admires you?"

"Oneechan... likes Okazaki-kun."
So Koji's suspicions were right on the mark. The appeal of the bad boy. Even if he was, in a way, an enemy, the young junior couldn't deny that there were aspects about Tomoya she couldn't deny were attractive. Kyou seemed to be spoiled for choice. On the one hand, the roguish, good-looking delinquent, and on the other, the average-looking Knight Errant, whose lands were this school. The knave vs the knight. All for the hand of the fair maiden. It was something that belonged in the literature of medieval romance.
"Fujibayashi-senpai likes Okazaki-senpai..." Shou sighed. The wind was knocked soundly out of her sails. She'd made it clear to the boy that her cousin didn't just like the older twin, what he felt was love. There was that niggling feeling in the back of her head, telling her that it was her, speaking for him, and it questioned her. Did Koji really love Kyou? Or did she jump to conclusions and begin laying the foundations for her nefarious plot?
More importantly, was she going too far with it all?
"I wonder if... Kyou-senpai thinks about Koji-nii." She mused out loud, propping her head up. Indeed the curiosity was growing on the young girl. A relationship between the two would be fine, but if Kyou didn't think about her cousin at all... There would be no chemistry. Things would fall apart if they had nothing in common. Why did everything have to be so complicated? At times, the brunette felt like grasping her head, and tearing madly at her hair like a rabid dog until she was balder than a cue ball. She visibly shuddered at the thought of losing her long locks.
"And Okazaki-kun... probably likes... no one. Yet."
Yet was the part that gave Shou hope for her cousin. If Tomoya did not reciprocate Kyou's feelings, would she then return Koji's? Shou couldn't shake the feeling that he would, in a way, be second-best. He was too much of a nice person to let something like tat bother him. He'd be there for her after suffering such a colossal rejection, and wouldn't give second thought to capitalizing on it. He really was quite hopeless. Thinking to herself for a little while longer, Shou returned to normality, listening to Ryou and Nagisa's conversation.
"Say, if you're forced to pick... who would you choose...somebody you admire, or somebody who admires you?"
That question was quite a headscratcher. It was also not a far cry from her cousin's situation. He 'admired' Kyou, and she 'admired' Tomoya. It was... Difficult, for her to answer, but she did, and into it, she put her heart.
"For me? I... I think I'd pick the person who admires me. If they're kind, and sincere, then you can depend on them. You might admire someone, but they might not be reliable, or be kind to you. I'd rather pick someone that could make me happy." She answered, feeling a little flustered about the whole ordeal. She hugged her body nervously, fearing judgment.

As Nagisa didn’t know what was going on with this first part of the conversation, she simply sat quiet. Apparently Ryou’s sister and Shou’s cousin knew each other in some form or fashion. This entire conversation was really getting confusing for Nagisa; all these love lives were too much for her to handle. Especially since she had somehow been thrown into these relationships for reasons she really didn’t understand. Hopefully Okazaki didn’t know about this; after all, would he be embarrassed about mistaken for dating her or something? And she really didn’t know what to say about all these other girls who apparently may or may not have an interest in Okazaki. So for now she just decided to sit quietly for a bit.
Luckily, Ryou soon answered her question about the advisor…which didn’t help because Ryou didn’t know who it was. Well, that was kind of sad, but not that big of an issue. There was sure to be someone around the school who knew about it.
”It’s no problem, I’m sure I can find someone who knows. I guess the club wasn’t really active though if you didn’t know….” and hopefully we’ll be able to start one that is active…
It didn’t take long before the conversation steered in the direction of, yet again, romance, with Ryou asking advice about who to choose between someone you admired or someone who admired you. Nagisa really couldn’t say she was in such a situation; she didn’t have a person she had a crush on, and she didn’t know anyone who had a crush on her. She could guess what her reactions would be in each case though; in the first, she would probably too scared to go for it, and in the other so embarrassed and down on herself to simply tell them there was someone else more suited. It really all depended on the person and what they said though…
”I…I guess I don’t know what I would do. I’m not sure I would have the courage to go up to the person I admire and confess, and I don’t know if I would be willing to accept someone confessing to me…but I guess I would just go with whatever made me the happiest. I-I guess I would try and have the courage to go for the person I admire but…I’m sorry I don’t know what I would do. I’m sorry I can’t help…”

OC: Urgh. Shortening.She noted Aizawa-san's statement; so she was looking out for her cousin, her brother, in a sense. For a moment she was reminded of her sister, who had been encouraging her with Okazaki-kun before. Then there was the time when she set her up with Haru-kun in the haunted house. Her twin liked to tease, too.
Then again, the difference in the situation was that the person her cousin likes was... her older sister. Had she said anything about Otomo-san? She tried to recall, though nothing particular came to mind. Maybe she should ask her about it next time. Her sister usually had only female admirers. Also, Otomo-san... must be rather brave. While she could think of a lot of good things boys would like about her sister... they usually were cowed by her... erm, throwing proficiency. And her temper.
Perhaps she had been thinking about it too much, and besides, her dilemma wasn't so neat as to be encapsulated in that question she had posed upon them. She remembered her oneechan's advice. After all, what matters is who I like, and then from there I work out what I do. Perhaps not thinking about it can be beneficial too. The mind cannot always comprehend the things of the heart.
For a moment she digested the responses of the two, some more. Then she caught herself. "Um, sorry..." she muttered, completely apologetic. "I didn't mean to suddenly pop up the question on the two of you..." she stated, flushing a bit. She almost felt like she ruined the conversation. "It's just that... that... never mind." She squirmed a bit. Aizawa-san had been in a good mood too, and she might have spoiled it with her pronouncements.
"I'm really sorry..."
She sank into the water a bit, so that only the part of her head, above her nose, was showing. Her lavender hair floated above the water, the strands seemingly swimming. She felt a little embarrassed. I should have been more considerate of them, she chastised herself.

Shou, a little rattled by putting her heart on her sleeve, tried to cover it up with laughter. She poured her energy into the boiling water, as if the steam rising up was excess as it flowed into Nagisa and Ryou. She thrust a determined fist out of the water, her pinkish, wrinkled thumb radiating the same steam from the hot spring.
"We might not have any cute boys in our lives, but a place like this is the perfect place to hook up with someone. Fujibayashi-senpai. Furukawa-senpai. Let's do our best, and we'll find our life partners! You'll see!" Shou hollered, standing up confidently, until she realized just how different the temperatures were between the air, and the water. She recoiled, retreating, back into the steamy depths, up to her eyes. Her long ponytail writhed about in the small waves she created, like some Lovecraftian beast in their murky pit.
The mood seemed to have tumbled back down, and sank to the bottom in the female spring, whilst the raucous noise coming from the boys' side was very apparent. Splashing, yelling, and an abnormal amount of laughter. What was an appropriate word to use? Anarchy? Yes, anarchy seemed quite appropriate. She doubted that there was much water left in the springs. Or sanity. Boys could be so... Destructive. Save for a select few. Though he had spread a little chaos in his idealistic endeavors, she believed Koji was a cut above the rest. How could someone like Kyou not return his feelings?
"Say... Fujibayashi-senpai... What's your sister really like? I-I don't mean to pry, but... I'm just interested in the girl Koji-nii likes so much. I'm looking out for him." She admitted, revealing her true intentions for taking such a considerable interest in her cousin's love life. He had chosen a curious young woman to focus giving his affections to. She had to make certain she wouldn't string the poor boy alone whilst he was, quite clearly, head over heels for the purple-haired dictionary thrower. She had no idea who the real Fujibayashi Kyou was, and who better to get information from than her own twin sister? To boot, she was Koji's class rep, so she at least knew him well enough to keep her elder twin informed.
And as always, Okazaki was the critical factor. Koji would be broken hearted if Kyou rejected him, and went with the rogue. Maybe... Maybe if she clocked him over the head with one of her skates, and dumped him on a whaling ship, he could be in the arctic circle by next month, and Koji would be free to move in for the kill. Of course, he had friends and family, and Shou could easily be caught. Not to mention Koji would forbid it. She was a quite a loss for what to do.

Shou really was energetic about this whole boy thing, and apparently Ryou was concerned about a boy as well. Nagisa hadn’t really planned on dealing with any of that sort of thing during this trip, but earlier statements had made her wonder about the whole thing. It rattled her a little to think that Okazaki, no matter how small she saw the chance, was mostly interested in helping her to get with her. She knew she should be a little outraged about that idea, but by now she was so flustered about everything there was no way she could give an accurate statement about her feelings on anything. All she could say for sure was Shou’d enthusiasm wasn’t necessarily needed; they didn’t have to find their life partners now. They had time for that, and they shouldn’t go and find one just for the sake of finding one; it should be natural and come from two people who really care about each other…
Not really wanting to be a downer, however, Nagisa simply stayed quiet, only telling Ryou to not to worry about her question bothering them. Things got awkward as about all three of them sank into the water. By now Nagisa was starting to feel like it was about time to get out; her skin was getting all wrinkly and pink from the heat. Furthermore, the conversation was really starting to turn towards things Nagisa couldn’t really talk about, and she would have felt awkward just sitting there and listening on their love lifes. She really wasn’t much of a gossiper…
”Uhm, I think I’m going to call it a night now. It was nice to meet you two. Maybe we can eat dinner together sometime and get to know each other even more?” Nagisa asked as she began to get out of the water, preparing to leave to dry herself off and change. Once they responded, Nagisa headed out. Once she got changed, she wasn’t sure what to do. She felt like she should ask Okazaki about the club, but the idea of just resting was appealing to her as well….
[OOC: I figured I should pull Nagisa out of the thread ^_^”]

OC: Aww, now it's Nick and me again XDFurukawa-san was leaving. She was a little sad that their little meeting was to be cut short. In the way of time, maybe, since she wasn't really so sure how much time they had taken, dipped in the pleasant heat, but in the way of words, they had not really gotten much through; in that was she disappointed. Perhaps she could have avoided making that melancholy comment. Still, everything had an end.
"Goodbye, Furukawa-san!" she said, in a voice a little louder than usual; the timid Fujibayashi made an exception, since they were the only people in the female baths, and the sound of the male side was getting overpowering at certain points. She could barely hear herself. Aizawa-san, on the other hand, was rather enthusiastic, and she had little trouble catching her words. She lightly giggled at her underclasswoman's recoil from the difference in temperature.
Perhaps Furukawa-san was feeling awkward with how Aizawa-san so freely tackled certain touchy topics, and to be honest, Ryou felt a little awkward with her approach, too; but maybe someone so free with her tongue and her heart was someone she needed right now. Someone, as she had noted before, similar to her sister.
Well, Furukawa-san may have other reasons for leaving, and while it was not to her liking that she was departing, since she could have known her better... she did not feel that she should inquire why, and she accepted her decision. After all, she had extended an invitation to meet again. That was good. The younger Fujibayashi watched the brown-haired senior exit.
She turned back to the second-year, looking a bit more relieved. She had not seemed to mind her little non-sequiturs, and now, while she had been rather cunning before her tranquil outburst, she now seemed more forthcoming. She decided not to comment about the life partners, as it was her current dilemma. Perhaps not thinking about her problem would yield some more results than thinking about it, however counter-intuitive that may be.
"About oneechan... hrm..." she said, wading a bit and changing her place. This seemed a little funny, ironic, even; Aizawa-san was the second person she was newly acquainted with who had questioned her into describing her sister, the first one being Kotomi-chan. Aizawa-san would probably easier to explain things to, though... she hoped she could portray her sister in a good light.
"The rumors have grains of truth in them, I'm afraid..." she confessed, "...but she mostly does the... dictionary-throwing... when she thinks somebody is... offending me." she concluded, giving her honest opinion. Mostly, because her sister can have a bit of a temper, too, and she might fire those projectiles of hers for less... chivalrous reasons. "I think." She had a feeling she would still need to elaborate, but then again, she wasn't being in a hurry.

"The rumors have grains of truth in them, I'm afraid... but she mostly does the... dictionary-throwing... when she thinks somebody is... offending me."
Shou giggled out a toothy laugh. She could very easily picture it. A more aggressive Ryou with flowing violet hair, lobbing literature at people with great accuracy, and furious anger. She let herself slide further into the water, relaxed with a contented grin on her steamy red visage.
"I can see why he likes her now." Shou started, placing her arms behind her head, staring up at the sky. It was plain as the nose on her face, scar and all. For what relationship didn't come without a few emotional cuts and bruises that formed scars? Twisting her head towards Ryou, the junior's hazel eyes fired open.
"It's because she's confident and strong. His first crush was in middle school. Mifune Asuka. She was a bit like Kyou-senpai. Minus the book-throwing. i think he appreciates strength in girls that don't think they should be quiet, and placid." Shou informed, willingly sharing some rather embarrassing information about Koji with her new found acquaintances. Perhaps a necessary step. Ryou might relay the information back to her sister, and allow the elder Fujibayashi to gain new intel on the boy who was so keen on pursuing her affections. He really could be an idiot sometimes. But he was sweet, and earnest. Shou truly believed he deserved a happy ending, and the girl of his dreams by his side.
She herself was much too selfish to consider a love life right now. Maybe someday she'd be half as selfless as her cousin. Perhaps it came with age. Soon, he would leave this school, and go onto college, or university. If he didn't act, and act soon, the only likely time he'd ever see Kyou again would be a high school reunion. The likelihood of the two still being single, and willing to date each other at that point was low.
"I guess when it comes down to it, he really likes your sister for her personality. I don't think he's basing this on looks, otherwise he wouldn't be so passionate about it... I know him. That's not the kind of guy he is."
Boiling down the facts, Koji's mother was a strong woman, enduring what could only be an incredibly painful end to a relationship she struggled to maintain out of love for her husband. Koji probably saw the same kind of tenacious strength and will in Kyou, and thus was immensely attracted to the girl. Of course, looks helped. Visually observing Ryou, Shou could tell her figure was very womanly, and she was rather attractive. Picturing her with long hair and a spitfire attitude wasn't too difficult. She chuckled at the idea of her in a wedding dress, and then with a large pregnant belly.
"If your sister and my cousin get together you can be the godmother." Shou joked, her voice laced thickly with sarcasm.

She seemed very fond of her cousin. She could understand... at least she thought she could; it felt like the bond between Aizawa-san and Otomo-san were like the bond she and her twin sister shared with. Aizawa-san was even playing a little bit of a matchmaker for Otomo-san, much like how Kyou pushed her a little bit towards the person she had mentioned she liked.
She frowned a bit. Thinking about her sister brought her back into thinking about Okazaki-kun, and then back to Haru-kun. She stuffed the thoughts back into her head, hastily, and continued to listen to her companion.
"Godmother?"
Aizawa-san was rather... free in giving information about her relative; perhaps she wanted a bit in return, though the lavender-haired girl wasn't quite sure what would suffice. Her sister probably hadn't liked anybody before Okazaki-kun; at least, that was from what she could tell.
"I'm sorry... I... don't really know what to say... that could probably help Otomo-san."
She also wondered how she was supposed to react to this new information, that her sister somehow resembled in personality a certain Mifune who Otomo-san liked before. With how Aizawa-san was treating the subject, she was mostly just saying that that was the sort of person Otomo-san would probably like. Perhaps she shouldn't overthink it, that he might be projecting the image of this Mifune into her sister... she didn't know much about the boy, except for the stuff she had to know, as a class representative.
She lapsed into a silence as she tried to picture certain things.
She knew how he looked like; although his appearance, and her impressions of him, may not be enough to weigh his nature. He had struck her as orderly; perhaps more normal than normal, in that he was polite, in the fleeting moments that she had interacted with him, unlike her other male classmates whose respect stemmed mostly from fear of getting their faces embedded with, say, a comprehensive guide to biology.
Then again, given this newfound knowledge that Otomo-san liked her sister, maybe he was fixing himself in front of her? Well, Aizawa-san seemed to think her cousin was respectable enough, and she seemed truthful enough, even if she could be rather playful... she tried to picture her sister with Otomo-san, but she was unsuccessful in producing such an image; she might have to really talk to him to be able to imagine that...
It still seemed quite novel, to her... that a boy would like her sister, and have the guts to declare it. (She would like to believe that her elder sibling had some male admirers, barring her tons of female fans... but she could understand why most would be cowed out of confessing.) There was still another matter... the person he was trying to refrain from thinking about. Okazaki-kun...
"... of course... there's the bit of if Oneechan would be agreeable to it."

"Don't worry about it. I'm sure they just need to get to know each other better." Concluded Shou, plucking her hands of the water. They were beginning to wrinkle and prune. The heat was also starting to make her skin tingle. Thusly, she whipped her towel from the spring edge, upon which it sat, stood, and wrapped it tightly around her body.
"I think everyone deserves a chance to be happy, to make someone else happy, don't you?" Shou asked, somewhat ambigiously. She was of course stabbing in the dark, in the hopes that there could be someone in Ryou's life that was trying to get close to her. On the off chance her stabs hit home, and there was in fact, a nice young boy in Ryou's life, could she sympathize with her classmate and put in a good word?
Reaching one hand back, whilst tucking in the corner of her towel, Shou gripped her scrunchie, letting her dampened locks fall over her ears. A cool shower would be in order. From her sister's words, a vivid picture was painted of Fujibayashi Kyou. Koji had picked quite a young woman to focus his affections on. His work was cut out for him. Didn't their grandfather mention that nothing worth having in this life landed in your lap with ease?
Shou needed to remind herself why she was going so far to help out her cousin. Was it purely for altruistic reasons, or was she trying to fill the void in her love life by leeching vicariously from her relative's? It would give her something to think about as she showered. An excuse for a long one. Holding the towel up as she prepared to put those thoughts to questioning, Shou bowed neatly to the older student.
"It was nice meeting you Fujibayashi-senpai. I hope we can talk again sometime." Shou finished before pacing off to the showers for a lengthy wash and an equally-lengthy think.

"I guess."
Aizawa-san indeed had hit a mark with her words. Perhaps that was what was important... though it might be an oversimplification... to be happy, to make someone happy... She had been mulling over two people, one who was offering to make her happy, and one who she wanted to make happy... but is it that clear-cut? Does she not want to make he who wishes her to be happy, happy as well?
It looked like Aizawa-san was preparing to leave; she had to admit that they had stayed long, their conversation having whittled the time rather quickly. Besides, she might have had enough of the springs for tonight; there was still some more time for more of it, and there were other things to do.
"It was nice meeting you too."
While she did not have conclusive answers yet, her chat with two people, with two new acquaintances, had helped her weigh things. While she might have just confused Furukawa-san... and she might have just listened to Aizawa-san... she hoped that they found the discussion as favorable as she had, even if she did not have much to offer, specially for Aizawa-san and her concerns about her cousin.
She did likewise, taking her towel and her hair ornament, and wrapping the former around her body, as Aizawa-san trotted off to the showers. Other things to do... perhaps she can look at the topics discussed more clearly, in the silence and away from the steam.
END.
