Aiko could not believe the generosity of her students. First the wonderful decorations from Chiaki, and then the lovely brownies. Well, she was certain they were lovely as Tone’s brownies always seemed to be. “Those look delicious, thank you, I’d love to have some.” Reaching over, she took two. She hadn’t eaten much today, and chocolate should be its own food group. Realizing she had forgotten napkins, Aiko summoned them from her bookcase, carefully placing them in the middle of the table. “Just in case.”

Grinning, Aiko told them, “I’m sure you’d regret offering. At the moment, I believe it’s mostly things I believe should be kept private, but I’ll keep your offer in mind for in the future. In the meantime, I’m just hoping that it reduces once I’ve been in the role for a little while.” Aiko thought about it for a moment, and then hesitantly said. “How are your party planning skills? I’d like to do something for the school to gather together but I must admit I’m at a loss. My mother would be appalled I’m sure, but I never did quite take to her lessons.” That was something she’d gladly invite others to take on. Her mother had tried, and Aiko enjoyed interacting with others, but she had no interest in actually doing the planning. She would help set-up and clean-up but Aiko didn’t feel she had the artistic vision that others pulled off quite easily.
