"Actually, I came to join. But since-"
Oi, asshat. Choose your words more carefully.
Oh...duck you. Whatever.
You fake a cough, and began again, "...But if there's anything I can do to help...?" You smile sweetly and challenge Shizune with your eyes. Both Kyna and Shizune's eyes light up, Kyna because now she has help, while Shizune seems excited taking on two people at once.
Shina's smile slid right off her face once she fully noticed the situation. Now that this social engagement was about to go nuclear, Shina was looking wildly around the room like a frightened rabbit.
"Kyna, seriously, back off." Said the dark-haired girl...?
Maria.
Right. Kyna snarled, but the death gaze coming from both Maria and Shizune got her to sit down. Shizune turns to you, now the only one left.
Well, time to put that- ARUGHTHHH
Sorry about that, but I can't have you say something stupid. You hold your smile and Shizune's gaze, saying nothing.
MASTER, PLEASE! ALL I WANT IS TO GET-
SILENCE.
...
That's what you get. Shizune, sensing no one left to challenge her, waved her hands grandiosely as she began walking out of the room.
[Well then, since you seem to have enough members, we'll be going. Don't forget to turn in the club budget. I would hate to shut the club down for silly errors like that.]
You stifle a response just before you would've inadvertently announced you understood her.
"Well then, since you seem to have enough members anywaaayyy, we'll be going. Don't forget to turn in the club budget, I would hate to have to shut the club down for silly errors like that~ Whahaha!"
Right, it's safe. "Yes, that'd be most unfortunate. But don't let us keep you from important business." You imply sarcastically. Shizune smiles and walks off, leaving a confused Shina trailing behind.
Kyna has a smug look on her face as they leave, and you can see the faintest of a smile on Maria's face as well. When the door finally shuts, Kyna moves to high-five you.
"Right 'on, man. Sure show'dem what for!" Exclaimed Kyna happily as you high-five her.
"Thank you. Top notch performance, by the way. Most don't stand up to Shizune like that." You offer, as it's only polite.
Kyna grins while Maria facepalms, with a ghost of a smirk still on her face. "God, don't encourage her. I swear, she can carry this team by herself if she'd do her own damn research."
Kyna pouted, "But then you wudden't 'ave anyth'ng to do, Mimi."
Maria groans into her palm, "Oh, would you stop that! You know I hate that nickname."
Still can't place that accent. She's talking a bit louder, but you can only place a bit of British-ness mixed in with abidda joisey. It's odd.
"So, technically we haven't met yet..." You leave that sentence hanging as a cue for them to introduce themselves.
Maria picks up right away, "Oh, my apologies. My name is Maria, and this is my sister Kyna."
You arch your eyebrow; these women look nothing alike.
Kyna laughs at your facial expression, "Adoptive sister. We took in Maria af'ta her accident."
You look at Maria, whose face is decidedly telling you not to press further. Fair enough, a lot of people at the school are still touchy about their story. Changing subjects, you ask, "So, this is the Debate team then?"
Maria nods, thinking you with her eyes. "Yes, although I also do Oral Interp, which is like debate, only you're persuading a judge into thinking you're awesome."
Sounds like a Steve thing.
...
Speak of the devil. Willing to behave?
...fuck off.
SILENCE.
...
"So, Kyna, you're the debate half?"
Kyna beams, "Yep. Regula' one woman army ova' 'ere. Could 'always use a teammate, though."
She gives you a sly grin, while Maria rolls her eyes, "Right, because you totally don't have a partner. Ether way, you're slated to do a bunch'a research." Maria says, eyeing the other people in the room who were edging towards the door after the confrontation with Shizune.
You sense this decision to be an important one. Hm...
--
[x] Sure, I'd be happy to team up, Kyna.
[x] I dunno Interp sounds fun. What's that all about.
[x] Hell, why not have me research full-time?
