[ For a moment, she's convinced they're about to meet up with Ryuji. The quality of the voice is different, of course, but the tone is so alike that for a moment it fools her.

Of course, in the time it takes her to process the question that comes along with that thought - if Ryuji-senpai is here, why didn't the others say anything? - she's realized her mistake. If the vocal quality wasn't enough to give it away on its own, the shock of orange hair should have been. Not to mention that Ryuji, with his preference for shotguns, probably wouldn't care to spend much time on a sport as precise as archery.

So when she steps forward in response to Ren's gesture, there's a little embarrassment mixed in with the shy expression on her face. ]

U-Um. It's a pleasure to meet you, Tsukinaga-san! [ Whether he's looking or not by the time she says that, Yoshizawa steps into a bow. ] My name is Yoshizawa Sumire!

[bachagain]

[ please, leo's not so rude that he won't look over when someone's introd--

--okay, no, he kind of is still looking away as ren introduces him (why didn't you do that yourself, leo), and as yoshizawa begins her greeting. the arrow is set quickly, flying with a "thunk" into the center of the next mark. when that's done he finally does glance at them both, right when she begins her bow, and despite the disinterest his actions might imply...

... he does, in fact, seem particularly engaged. ]

Wahaha! "Our very own"... Am I yours, Ren? I like the sound of that!

[ ahahahaha he's kidding. it's the idol fanservice charm rising up

to focus on their new little star here: ]

Nice to meetcha too, Sumi! I'm guessing you're one of Ren's underclassmen or something? I'm feeling that kind of mood in the interaction here.

[ why couldn't his kouhais be this cute instead of menaces who try to tie him up and tell him what to do??? just kidding, all the baby-not-baby knights are cute too-- ]

Anyway, no need to be shy, I'm not gonna bite much! I want moo~re of an introduction than just a name. Those don't tell me much at all, so go a little deeper! What d'ya like to do? What's your favorite food? Beethoven or Mozart? It better be the former!

(There's a little smirk hidden in a lip corner when he once more hits bullseye. Very good job, Leo, he's very proud... And he snorts when Leo opens his mouth, eyes rolling playfully. At this point, Ren's used to Leo's comments, especially after the I-Love-You incident.

That's when he learned not to take Leo's overly affectionate or flirty comments to heart without a second thought. Much like most of the encounters he has had while showing Sumi around the Void, Ren prefers to keep himself out of the way as much as he can - giving her space and the opportunity to interact and get to know the others.

Won't do her too much good if he's talking for her, after all. So, all he does is nod and hum.)

[ She smiles at the easy banter between them, not at all surprised by how easily Ren seems to have made so many new friends here, considering how easily he made friends at home, even with the ugliness of that rumor hanging over his head everywhere he went.

Meanwhile, the questions from Leo come thick and fast, and she's left a little stunned, glancing to her senpai with a momentary expression of panic on her face. But no, that's the whole point of this outing, isn't it? She can't rely on him for everything all the time. She has to stand on her own two feet, even here.

A breath. One at a time. Easy, right? ]

I'm- I'm a gymnast! So I guess you can say I like doing athletic stuff. And... to be honest, I'm not familiar enough with either to choose so easily, but... Mozart is easier to do routines to, so I have to choose him! Sorry! As for food...

[ Is "everything" a good answer? ]

...I guess you can say that I'm not picky. I'll try anything once! But my favorite is probably curry. Oh, or a typical bento lunch. Or kitsune udon. Or maybe yakisoba loaded with shiitake mushrooms and veggies! Or...

[ She trails off, her cheeks glowing a faint pink as she stutters a few times over her last word. ]

O-Or. Yes!

[bachagain]

[ ooooh, sumi's keeping up with his questions. that's a plus! too bad it's not enough of a plus to make up for the fact she chose mozart. that gets a furrowed brow from leo that remains for the duration of her answers.......

... fortunately, he recovers from his salt. partially. ]

Mgggggrr... I mean, I can't be mad that you're being honest! It says something that you didn't pick the super obvious bait I laid out riiiiight in front of you. Life isn't like a video game, we can still be friends even if you choose the answer that gives you one music note or heart or whatever instead of three...!

[ what

is he saying. but yeah sumi sure got just a ♪ from a guy who usually gives ♪♪♪ ]

Ahh, sorry, sorry! I should be talking with you, not at you! Le'see... a gymnast, huh? Wanna show me some moves? Like Ren said, I'm the Void's musical genius -- but I'm also an idol, y'know, so I'm always looking for some inspiration for choreography and stuff.
