[ It sounds like something he must have heard about before- it sounds nerdy? it also sounds old, it sounds like something that might've been popular when he was younger, but he had neither the money for cards nor friends to play with back then anyways. ]
Sugar cookies are a good choice! Something soft and bite-sized, easy to eat~ For an outfit... Orihime was offer to sew before, but I wonder if she's swamped? It might be cutting it too close too... But you'll look cute it whatever you choose, so that's not something you should worry about!
[ He has to wonder if Toki will ever say something on his own accord, rather than just saying it's okay for Kano to stop by and visit, but that's a problem for when it comes. ]
[It will probably never come up because Toki doesn't study for his classes either.]
Okay, okay. [Yuya holds his hands up before turning to finally open the door to the form and step into the warm hallway. The first floor is a lot quieter without crickets.] You remember which one it is?
But I won't have as *much* fun without you... You're in Aube, right? 3rd floor? Are you in your room right now? If not, can you head over to your room for a bit?
That's right! So if I ever need you, I can bang on the ceiling, right?
[Yuya marches up the steps when Kano's in place with him, swinging down the bak to their room. He knocks on the door with the back of his knuckles before digging out his key to unlock it.] I'm back!
[He peeks in, and when he's sure Toki isn't there he pulls the door wide open so Kano can go in first. It's in the same state it usually is, with the addition of some cat toys scattered around-- and a black cat curled up on Toki's bunk.]
I'm going to change out of my uniform first, but you can get comfortable.
[ If either of them bangs on the ceiling, there's a good chance Kano and Ellie would take it as a declaration of war, not a call for help, but Kano just laughs in response, following Yuya up the stairs to their room and -does a little double take when Yuya has to stop and unlock the door, because Kano's experience is that the lock is broken or something because the door always opens without it. ]
Alright, alright~ Take your time~
[ The cat is new, but he doesn't immediately approach it at first, giving it time and space to watch and assess him like he knows cats like to have. Instead, he goes to bother Toki's jellyfish, pacing around the tank like a prowling lion circling a fallen prey. ]
Hey there, Tsuyukusa...
[ A glance towards the cat. If only Maverick knew; he'd have a field day. ]
I know you will♥ It's sort of like how an actor makes a character shine, like that! Because it's you, no matter what you wear or what you're doing, you'll shine!
[Yuya closes the door behind himself, but he doesn't lock it when there's people actually inside now. He digs through his drawers for some jeans and a brightly printed graphic tee before disappearing into the bathroom with a click of the door.
Kano gets a couple minutes alone with the animals, and to snoop, before he comes back out.]
[Nana's staring down at her phone, thoughtfully, and... visibly touched. She's glad she's by herself.] Kano...
[A little part of her worries. Did he notice she puts on an act, sometimes? That there's parts of her feelings that she denies, in her outward persona?
[ That's not the response he's expecting, and he's tempted- as always- to disagree with that. But you know what? He needs it today, and he'll take it, private message that it is. ]
[ Kano steps back from the tank when he hears the bathroom door shut; it's lucky for him that Yuya cares enough about privacy to change in the bathroom instead of just in his bedroom, so Kano will gladly take advantage of that...
He's quiet in his snooping, saving drawers and doors for another time when nobody is around, but takes note of whatever he can see from the walls- posters, calendar, whatever- and Yuya's desk. Mundane things, like whether he makes his bed, if he keeps any cups or snacks around, little things Kano takes most stock in— and then things he's most interested in: names and faces, be it photographs or notes. ]
Hey, cat~ How are you? Will you let me say hi?
[ He speaks out loud to the room, back to the actual cat in question as he looks of Yuya's desk, but, you know. Gotta keep it somewhat authentic, in case Yuya's listening in and wondering why Kano's so quiet. ]
[Yuya'a side of the room has the most stuff, but it's only slightier messier than Toki's--about as much as one would except from teenage boys. There's a bag of chips rolled closed and some chocolates in a plastic bag. His book bag against the desk chair, a couple fiction books and some manga novels shoved into the desk cubby where there's pens scattered--probably from classwork.
There is one particular photo--a picture of Yuya and an older woman, both smiling at the camera. It looks pretty recently, with Yuya not looking much younger than he does now. It's the only photo, pinned up without a frame to the wall.
The cat looks up at the loud noises and just stares down from her perch.
That's about when the door swings opens and Yuya sticks out.] Okay, thanks for waiting.
