[Kiku, who is playing on his PSP again today, enters the hallway Alice is in from an adjacent hallway further down.]

[Glancing ahead, he spots a girl in the hall. Wait, what? He just left his room, didn't he? He IS in the boy's dormitory, right?]

「DROPPED PSP　１ｅａ。」

[He can't look away. Has 2D become 3D? ブロンドの髪...眼鏡...メイド...ぺったんこ! (°д°) Mesmerized, he just...stands there, his hands still holding an imaginary PSP.]

(( ooc: Hover over for translation~. :3))

[pirate_maid]

[Alice stopped her sulking, and turned sharply at the clanking of the PSP. She recognized the sound, and thought for sure it was Alfred, not this young man.]

[But wasn't he an adorable one?]

[Her cheeks pinked slightly at her thoughts, and she cleared her throat with a fake 'ahem' as she walked over and picked up his device.]

Excuse me... S-s-s-sir.

You dropped this.

(( ooc: *GASP* FLAT?! ))

[yoroshikiku]

[How could he have left out ツインテール in that list? ばか!]

[あ? She's talking to him? (*'-'*) か-かわいい~]

[He can't seem to speak. Oh, he's got a nosebleed. I think you broke him.]

(( ooc: It was meant as a compliment ;D ))

[pirate_maid]

[Before the blood dripped on his clothes and the floor, she took out her lacy handkerchief and gently wiped his nose.]

Oh dear, are you ill? [He was even cuter up close. Alice touched his forehead to check his temperature.]

[He's fine. Tsk. No matter...]

We better get you to bed.

(( ooc: That's how I took it~ ;3 ))

[yoroshikiku]

[What is going on? He didn't react to Arthur when he had the same specifications and looked a lot like Alice... Maid Cafe Factor? Dormitory Factor?]

[The soft feeling of her handkerchief on his nose and her hand on his forehead make him glow a bright red.]

[Bashfully, he steps back, his voice barely above a whisper.] I-I am f-f-fine...

If you will excuse me... [Forgetting his PSP, he covers his nose with both hands and goes at a 'not quite walking, not quite running' pace back to his room.]

(( ooc: Yay <3 ))

[pirate_maid]

[Alice thought of reasons for a nosebleed. She needed a reason to stay with him as an excuse to rest. He didn't look like a bad person as well, and she'd like to get to know him better. As a maid, she had to take care of her masters.]

[She stalked after him and wrapped her arms around his.] Nonsense. Allow me to take care of you.

[Without waiting for a reply, she dragged him into the room he was headed to.]

(( ooc: ♥ ))

[yoroshikiku]

あ？！ [Kiku almost jumps as Alice clung to him. He had thought she was going the other way to go about her business, not following him and invading his room.] I should tidy up first at le- [Too late.]

[As would be expected, his room fits who he is. Just about every surface has something relating to anime, manga or games on it. A lot of figures. The computer in the corner still has his latest show on pause and several games appear to be minimized. The shelf is comprised of manga, manga, games, anime, and manga. Don't look under the bed.]

[He's not sure how she'll respond, but from what he's seen, it's never good.]

[pirate_maid]

[My, what a surprise! Her grip on his arm loosened slightly, though she remained pressed close to his side.]

[She looked at Kiku and studied his face. Does it look like the face of a closet pervert? A little...]

[That Alfred owned similar items, but he was not as behaved as this one. Alice wondered if she'd have to bring out his true self.]

[She smiled.] I'll help you. [In more ways than one.]

[yoroshikiku]

[What's this? He's still conscious. That's a good sign, right? And that warm feeling can't be pain, even if he's trying to distract himself from it as if it were.]

[Looks at her for a moment, long enough to note her features again as well as her smile, and then timidly turns away. (*'-'*)]

Help? Oh no, no, no, tha-that is not necessary... [He's not sure what help he's saying no to though.]

I-I'll make tea. Just...come in [Did that.] and make yourself comfortable..? [Inching away and trying to wiggle his arm free too.]

[pirate_maid]

[Alice giggled. He was so adorable.]

Nonsense, we can finish faster if we work together. [Reaching back, she pushes the door closed and locked it, all the while holding Kiku.]

[She checked the handle to be sure. She didn't want to be disturbed when things turn out well.]

So... What's your name? [She traced circles on his chest and waited for his answer.]

[yoroshikiku]

[The sound of the door closing surprises him, and he turns his head apprehensively to look at it.]

N-no, the problem is not about speed... [The feeling of her finger on his chest is really very unsettling.]

K-Kiku Honda. [Somehow he remembers that others get confused when he doesn't use the Western order.]

[Struggling to act, he grabs onto the hand making circles on his chest.] Girls should not be so casual!

[pirate_maid]

[She looked at him in amazement, then smiled at him. She could behave and learn more about him. Though she'll sign his name on her list.]

[Alice brushes her hand down his arm as she stepped aside and let go of him.] It's a pleasure to meet you, Kiku.

[yoroshikiku]

[Kiku feels her moving away and releases her hand too. Did she need to touch his arm like that? List?Wha-what list?]

[Shyly, he rubs the arm that she had been grabbing and glances at her.] S-sorry, I-I did not mean to yell.

[Moving quickly he clears a spot to sit on the sofa and offers to her.] Please sit, and I will make the tea. [Rushes to the kettle without waiting for a response.]

Aww your icon ♥

[pirate_maid]

[The list, of people she might be interested in dating.]

It's fine. [She shouldn't rush things. He was shy.]

[She sat down and thanked him for allowing her to sit. She wondered if he was single. If he wasn't, she could at least try to be friends with him.]

♥ We should have Kiku draw her later!

[yoroshikiku]

[Ohhh]

[Returning to her, he ceremoniously places the tray quietly on the table and takes a seat as well, still leaving a fair bit of space between them.]

[He serves her a cup of Japanese Green tea, as well as a slice of strawberry cake he had recently brought.] えと...I hope you like it... [///]

That should be cute!

[pirate_maid]

Thank you. [Alice was pleased that she can have tea and cake even if it was not her usual. She stared at the cup, uncertain how to pick it up. She ventured an attempt.]

Ouch- [She almost dropped the cup, but through the pain set it down quickly.]

[Wincing, she cradled her hand] Cor-! That was hot.
