[Hmm, Taki goes back to school, looks a bunch of places Satoshi isn't checks his room through a window in the door and wonder of wonders he's still in there so she sits in the hall and waits!] * Satoshi is sitting inside the classroom. It looks like he's working on some kind of test. * Satoshi finishes up, hands it to the teacher, and heads out the door. He looks semi-dazed. (This is how I felt after last week's exam. ;p) (Ah, method acting. :P) * Taki is sitting in the hall with a few of her school books spread around her and is madly writing...something...it might be in english. * Satoshi almost misses her, then stops and blinks. "Taki? What are you doing here?" So is this ...Oh Satoshi. You're done. * Taki pushes herself to her feet. Yeah, I had a makeup exam. Which I forgot to tell you guys about. Sorry. But you came back and waited? (Obviously, she did, but the tone of the question is more "Why did you come back and wait?") * Taki nods, "Yeah, everybody had something else to do for a while, so I came back to look for you." * Satoshi smiles. "That was nice of you. You didn't have to go to the trouble, though." * Taki kneals down and puts her books back into her bag, "Yes I did, and I can come up with at least two good reasons for it." * Satoshi blinks. "May I ask what they are?" * Taki finishes and stands up, "Of course. The first one is that I didn't know where you were, and was a bit worried...and as for the second..." * Taki looks distant for a bit and then walks up to Satoshi and puts her arms most of the way around him, "I can do this without having to stop and worry if it's the right thing to do or not." * Satoshi blinks again, and blushes slightly. He hugs her back. "I'm sorry. I didn't mean to worry you." * Taki continues to hold onto him, "It's allright...I'm just...I don't know anymore..." * Satoshi looks slightly puzzled. This is nothing new, really. "About what?" ( New would be if he didn't :P ) (Exactly. ^_~) * Taki lets up enough that she can look up at Satoshi's face, "Everything I guess....I don't know any less than I did before...It's just...I feel like do." * Satoshi sighs and looks down at her. "I know the feeling. It seems like I'm forgetting a lot, and I'm not sure if that's true or if it's just because it's been so overwhelming lately. * Taki nods and sighs, "...I think Katie had the right idea when she said she wanted to go climb some trees...Need to go do something quite and relaxing and outside and at least a little away from everthing that's been happening..." No offense, but I hope you don't want to go climbing. (Haruko's going to go get a massage. With a discount! Go Akemi!) (Heh. Even though she lacks Akemi's certain... talent? ^_~) (Yeah, apparently Akemi's talent includes discounts for other people. :P) * Taki gives Satoshi a weak grin, "not untill after I find Haruko again anway. Sitting under one is good too and we're all supposed to meet up by the practice field and watch Kyon or something." Practice? ...oh, baseball! Heh. I'm so used to thinking about hockey, and only hockey. Is that where Katie and Kaede and Haruko are? * Taki thinks for a bit, "Katie and Kaede are probibly there since they left first...and the last I saw of Haruko she was still at the ramen place." How soon do we have to meet them there? Uhm...I don't think we ever set a time...just later. Okay. Did you want to go anywhere else first? * Taki shakes her head, "Not in particular, is there someplace you want to go?" Not anywhere specific. Just was wondering if you wanted to talk a walk first, or get something to eat, or anything. * Satoshi rubs the back of his neck nervously. Ahh, ...Just someplace quite where we could talk about what's been going on. Okay. Or just be there...it doesn't matter right now. * Satoshi thinks for a second. "Well, if it doesn't matter... we could just stay here for a little while. Or head for the practice field but walk really really slowly. I'm sorry. My mind's not entirely here. Most of it is still back there." * Taki grins up at Satoshi, "I'm actualy feeling better just from this." * Satoshi points to the classroom, then smiles a little. "Well, that's good. Glad I can help." * Taki lets go of Satoshi, "Then let's walk to the practice field and if that's not far enough we'll keep on walking." * Satoshi chuckles softly. "Fair enough." * Satoshi gives her shoulder a very gentle squeeze. Mhmmm.... * Taki points down the hall with her other arm. "Shall we?" Sure. * Satoshi starts heading down that way with her. * Taki starts off small, "So, what subject was that test in anyway?" Math. I think I did okay. * Taki nods, "I'm not looking forward to the higher math classes, but...thanks to all the help that everybody gave me after I got snowed in...my grades went way up. I've had to prove to my English teacher that I haven't started cheating a few times." (and CP well spent) * Satoshi grins. "Hey, that's great! My grades have been... okay, I guess. Managed to keep them fairly steady, despite everything. Admittedly, they could probably be higher, but..." He shrugs. "I gotta balance studying and sports somehow." * Taki shakes her head, "Gotta balance studying, and sports and the Arcana stuff outweighs them both." Yeah. And I still need to find out what's up with our last game. Which will probably be interrupted by Arcana stuff, if our luck holds up. * Taki nods, "We do." * Taki sighs, "Maybe it'll be one of the polite ones and we'll be able to ask them to wait untill after the game." Are there polite ones? Uh...Wassisface that we have to fight three times? Norishige, yeah. And we've only got one more time to go. * Taki nods, and they reach the door to school. * Satoshi holds the door open for Taki. * Taki steps through and thanks Satoshi [And so they head for the practice field, possibly meandering along the way. Perhaps more is said, perhaps not, but for a little while, they felt a bit better. Session End.]
