- Kayama Hinamori -
It was hard to say whether or not Kaya was relieved to know that school hadn't started yet. She wasn't really all too worried about being late and if she left the park soon she'd still make it to her first class. Maybe running would help her get there a little earlier, but what Ryu had stated about her "not being the running type" was a definite fact. Running took too much energy in which Kaya just did not have, nor the motivation to get to school on time.
She leaned forward a little to scratch her dear pet behind the ear, giving Paku a soft smile as Ryunosuke sat himself down beside her. She only glanced at him for a second while her hand remained on her dog's head, but she could tell he was tired. "He should sleep more..", she thought to herself, her smile straightening out until her face went back to it's tired state.
"Kaya-chan..."
She narrowed her eyes slightly at his tone, but not to a noticeable extent.
"I've stayed up for way too long and I find you sleeping on a park bench..."
Knowing what was coming, she moved her eyes off of him and gazed down at her dog who was now standing and had it's front paws resting on her lap. Paku's tail wagged happily as Kaya used one hand to pet his head while the other scratch at his neck.
"Speaking of which... I'm telling you Kaya, you need to pay more attention to where you decide to fall asleep. Sure Paku's watching your back but he's just one dog after all, sleeping in the middle of such a big public place ESPECIALLY when it's near empty could get you into trouble... what if a caretaker had found you sleeping in their park? Or what if someone with bad intentions came along and decided you were an easy target?
She let out a small sigh, leaning back a little(although still having a bit of a slouch) and pulling her turtle backpack up onto her lap and gently wrapping her arms around it. It wasn't her fault that she fell asleep whenever she found a comfy spot. She wasn't mad or annoyed with Ryunosuke's little lecture. After all, he was just concerned for her safety and she couldn't blame him for being worried. Still, Paku had never failed to keep her safe before and she honestly never put much thought into her own safety whenever she found a place to take a nap.
"Sorry, This bench was comfortable.." She said dully as she brought her knees to sit Indian style while Paku sat himself down to watch the two of them with curious eyes.
"Ok maybe I'm thinking too much on this... but seriously... be more responsible. I wouldn't want to see you getting in any more trouble over your sleeping habits and I do worry that you will."
She straightened herself up a little more and turned her head to look over at him. "You worry too much about other people and not enough about yourself, Ryu-kun. You're also being a hypocrite when you tell me to be more responsible. You need to be more responsible as well." She stated bluntly, continuing her slight slouching position from before. "If you keep staying up all the time, you'll get sick from exhaustion."
She paused for a moment, hugging her turtle backpack a little tighter and leaning herself back against the bench. "You don't have to be all smiles all the time for those who keep trying to get you a record deal, either. If I were you I'd tell them to leave me alone right off the bat. You'd think adults would understand that students your age can't keep getting pulled away from school, especially after announcing that you weren't going to go professional until you graduated. That is if you're even able to go professional after exhausting yourself with song-writing as well as your studies and homework."
She set her feet back onto the sidewalk and stood up, pulling the green strap of her back over her right shoulder as she turned around to look at her friend. "Am I going to have to tells those producer guys to back off since you're too nice to do it yourself? I promise not to mouth off, probably." She said, managing a small smile to let Ryu know that she was joking...mostly.
