It was a good thing, in some ways, that he'd targeted her and not someone more timid, who might get completely overwhelmed by him. Manami handled his sort (well, aggressive men) frequently, when she went into Tokyo. She didn't answer, merely turning away to email Takaeda-chan, then continuing on inside to speak to Suzaki-chan.<br/><br/><div class="quoteheader"><div class="topslice_quote">Quote</div></div><blockquote class="bbc_standard_quote">"I was wondering...what if we made them a welcoming lunch?" she suggested "You know...just to welcome them to Sendai"</blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div><br/>Manami brightened at that, and she smiled, nodding down at Suzaki-chan.<strong>"That's a wonderful idea! How about tonight, I'll come by your room, and we can talk about it with the others? This is really something we need to do as a large group - buying food, deciding what food to make, deciding who will cook what... If you think of some ideas, write it down and tell me tonight, okay?"</strong><br/><br/>And even though there was bound to be some problems, Manami was glad that at least some of the girls were excited about the new change.<br/><br/>She pulled on a lock of Suzaki-chan's hair, waiting for her to look up before continuing.<strong>"And it's fine if you're sure you're going to be okay. But if you really start feeling cold, just let me know, and I can lend you my leg warmers,"</strong>she murmured softly, pulling slightly at the stretchy, thick black cloth.<strong>"I don't want to see you getting sick tomorrow because you didn't want to run upstairs to get something warmer."</strong><br/><br/>After giving the girl that warning, Manami walked back outside, squinting up at the sky thoughtfully. It was snowing, very lightly - it didn't look as if it would get any heavier, though, and the news forecast had predicted cloudy, but not snowy weather for later that afternoon. There was the slightest of breezes, but most of the students, armed with winter coats, mittens, hats, and scarves, would probably be fine. Already she could hear the clattering of students' feet as they made their way down to the main hall; where was Takaeda-chan's reply email? She didn't feel right leaving first unless the other girl gave her the okay...<br/><br/><strong>"Is something wrong, Zaraki-san?"</strong>Manami finally asked, when she glanced over and saw the ferocious glower on his face.
