Library Cards

[pierced_paper]

*Some time later after the orientation assembly, Konan returned to the Library to begin setting things up. To make the place a little more 'homely' for her, there is a vase of paper flowers sat on her desk, as well as a couple personal belongings. Mozart is playing quietly in the background - after all classical music was proven to help children

*knocks on the door and aves through the window at Konan, not wanting to just burst in*

[pierced_paper]

*Turns as she hears a knock at the door, and gives a small smile as she waves him in*

..Itachi-sensei, right?

[notabadguyatall]

*blushes slightly at being called 'sensei'*

Ah, I would prefer it if you called me Itachi-kohai. I-I mean, you are my senior, so it is only proper that you address me as such...

Um. I came here to pick up my library card.

[pierced_paper]

...I don't know, it makes me sound old, and we are about the same age. Besides, I am not even a teacher...

... *nods, and walks over to the desk to get his car* ...have you had any classes yet, Itachi-san?

[notabadguyatall]

*frets as he realises that he just made her sold old again*

Th-then would just Itachi-kun be more suitable?

Um. I have been assigned to help Deidara-sensei keep his class in order, and take notes on how he deals with them, by the principal.

...Or so my instruction sheet tells me.

[pierced_paper]

... *nods* Ok, Itachi-kun. And feel free to just call me Konan...

...*hands his card over* Deidara.. Deidara... Oh. The pyromaniac, according to Jiraiya-Sensei.. *:|*

...Good luck with that.

[notabadguyatall]

*reaches out to take the card*

Um. Are you sure... Would you not rather I called you Konan-sempai, to show my respect?

Thank you. I am sure I will be able to manage.

*still hasn't let go of the card, or her hand as it holds the card*

[pierced_paper]

..No it's fine, I am not used to people calling me anything other than just Konan

*gives a small smile*

.... U-um..

*stares at their hands, and then back up at Itachi*

[notabadguyatall]

*looks puzzled for a moment, before looking down at his hand on hers*

*pulls away from her*

I-I apologize, Konan-sempai!

*has forgotten to call her 'Konan' in shock*

[pierced_paper]

N-no, it's alright.. *pulls her hand back and breaks eye contact, bit of a rosy tint on her cheeks*

...um.. *clears throat* No senpai, please..

[notabadguyatall]

*looks away also*

I'm sorry. For...

*tries to calm down*

*breaks the speech down into important points and says only those parts to avoid babbling*

Thank you. For the card. Konan. Sorry. About calling you sempai.

*Notices the paper flowers on her desk*

Oh... they're beautiful...

[pierced_paper]

*shakes head hurrily* Don't be sorry, it's just that I don't think I deserve to be called a senpai so.. *smiles*

...Oh? *turns her head to the side to see the vase if flowers, bringing her hand up once again to brush over one of them*

Ah.. I don't know about beautiful. There were some coloured papers left on this desk when I first came here.. and.. well.. i thought this place needed a little colour..

[notabadguyatall]

They look wonderful. Did you really make them yourself? You must really have a gift for them. [Obviously impressed.]

They look a bit familiar, actually...

[OOC: remember the meeting before the beginning of the semester, and the introductions?]

[pierced_paper]

... *nods and gives a small smile* Thankyou. It's a hobby, I guess you could say..

...familiar? To what, exactly?

[notabadguyatall]

*puts his hand on one of the roses, touching it and looking thoughtful*

Ah, I found a sheet of paper with a list that has helped me a lot recently attached to the instruction sheet in my pigeon-hole this morning. Along with the list, there was a paper rose with "good luck" on it, looking a lot like these ones. Would you happen to know anything about that?

[pierced_paper]

...Oh, that...
*looks away, yep is looking totally embarrassed now*
Well.. when we met the other day.. you seemed to be fretting so much about your first day..
