<div class="floatleft">(https://elliquiy.com/elluiki/images/a/ac/Taro03.jpg)</div><strong>Name:</strong>Taro Ikeda (https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=257738.msg12730054#msg12730054)<br/><strong>Location:</strong>Track & Field<br/><strong>Time:</strong>Flashback - a few days before school starts, very early morning<br/><strong>With:</strong>Shizuma<br/><hr/>"Ah, well." Something about the explanation for the streamers struck him as illogical, but he couldn't lay his finger on what it was. "The cut is... uhhh... rather ... daring," he agreed hesitantly, trying to keep his eyes on Shizuma's face. "Maybe... ah ... you could find a vest or jacket to wear over it?"<br/><br/>It was a good thing Shizuma returned the conversation to more practical matters. Discussing fashion was not one of his strong points, and he was almost glad that she had fallen back to a more formal address. That provided a nice clean break from talking about a rather personal topic he didn't want to dwell on too much.<br/><br/>"Oh, I think I will be there when they open and you can join me whenever it's convenient for you? And don't worry about keeping me waiting. You can take your time, if you like. I have a book I can read if I am a little early."<br/><br/>He took a step back so he had room to bow his head without hitting her. "I am looking forward to seeing you later, Shizuma-san."
