Sorry, [Even with his eyes closed Nathan's smart enough to figure out he's interrupted something ... The weird sucking noises really tipped him off.] I left my books down here and I have to study.

[Mikado and Masaomi might as well be on Venus or something because she gets up and hikes her shorts and top back on. Her bra is still thrown somewhere but it doesn't matter, she finds the stack of books without a lot of effort, they were slightly behind the couch.]

No, it's okay! Here. [Even though she's dressed Nariko doesn't ask him to open his eyes, she just puts the books in his hands, and then helps him turn around.] Next time just yell if you need me, okay?

[Nathan doesn't stop going up the stairs, he just quips.] You can't hear me over all the weird noises.

[And if that wasn't guilt inducing then nothing in the world was. Nariko rubbed the back of her neck, watching him go up until she was sure that he'd gone back to his room.]

Masaomi. [Something important has actually occurred to her, so she looks at him very seriously.] Don't get Nathan into any of this 'gang' stuff, alright?

[It actually wasn't a request.]
