It had only been one or two times that he had noticed it, since Rain didn't sit at that spot in the hall often, but over the last few weeks he noticed one of his classmates following after a group of giggling girls gowned in.... yellow (he failed to think of a good word that started with 'g' to describe that hue). So today he decided that he wanted to play along as well.
Packing up his computer and storing it in his bag, the boy adjusted his glasses and followed after the girl who was following after the herd. As he trailed casually behind her, the young man went through a mental list of names in his head. Who was she again....? Second row, third seat....
Once the other females were gone and the petite blonde was left peering after them, Rain arched an eyebrow. "Dunning-san, playing hide-and-seek against some unsuspecting victims now, are we?" Ah, he hoped that was the right name.
Anita nearly jumped out of her skin when the voice rang out behind her, but she did her best to remain composed as she turned to face the boy behind her. Caught right in the act. Red-handed. No way out. How long had he been following her? Had he been there the entire time? Well, this was awkward. She would've immediately questioned how in the word he knew her name, but the face was familiar. He was definitely a boy from her class, but not one that she ever remembered talking to much. A little embarrassed, her eyes turned toward the ceiling while she tried to remember what he went by.
"Sorry, my curiosity just got the better of me, but I wasn't aware that a Blue Bird was flying behind me. That was rather sneaky of you, you know." The girl finally said, turning her gaze back to him with a friendly smile, though she was still trying to think of a good excuse she could cover over her actions with.
Rain couldn't help but frown as she used the nick-name 'blue bird'. "I prefer 'sapphire fowl'," he returned lightly, giving a sigh and knocking some of his red hair from his face. But all the same, he gave the girl a cheerful smile. "I'm a very sly person, Dunning-san. Though, probably not nearly as sly as you are..." At this, the young man trailed off and craned his neck around the wall to watch the girls disappear.
He looked down at her, the girl considerably shorter than he was. Nearly a foot, if he had to guess. "Your family does some kind of investigation, am I right? Are these girls wanted criminals? I can chase them down and tackle them for you, if you like." Rain offered a charming grin, even though he wasn't serious.
Her smile only grew with his reply, but his next series of questions were something to be avoided. She wasn't sure how he knew of her family's business, but it just would not do, especially not if he was going to go pounce on the innocent. Looking up at him, she gave a short laugh and shook her head. "No, no, they're not criminals and that's just a rumor. We're in the sales business. We sell... helpful household items door-to-door. In fact..."
Anita took a few steps away from him and paused with her hand to her chin. She examined him throughly from top to bottom before giving a quick nod. "You look like an out-doorsie sort of fellow! Or maybe you just get fed up with dull scissors and steaks knives that just won't cut all the way through! You might be interested in our latest product: the almighty samurai shark!"
