I require a Player who will grant me permission to leave the school grounds.

[ACTION]

[mrdickery]

[Check out who's loitering around the shop? A strange man wearing a Fortitude outfit with the prefect's beret perched atop his crown. He scans the street looking content... but his appearance there is pretty suspicious as it is.]

[stoppedhiding]

[ Golbez had left campus immediately after vowing with Aisha and headed straight for Rakette. He probably wouldn't have noticed the strange man standing there -- other people are allowed to use the store -- if not for the prefect's beret. Another one? He stops and stares for a moment. ]

[mrdickery]

[There's something about Golbez's appearance that stands out. Hurried, in a rush and determinedly heading for the shop. Also? The Conquest uniform. Straightening, Yuri gives Golbez a casual smile.]

You look like you're in a hurry.

[stoppedhiding]

That's right. Is there something you wanted?

[mrdickery]

[For a moment longer Yuri just looks at Golbez, giving him this searching stare before he shrugs.]

Just making a comment. [And he casually pulls away from the wall and starts walking towards Golbez with obvious intent to brush past him.]

[stoppedhiding]

[ He stares for a moment, then just shrugs and starts walking again, toward the store. He's going to try to avoid bumping into Yuri, but, well... ]

[mrdickery]

[Just as they pass each other, at the last second Yuri's footing seems to go and he bangs into Golbez. Wincing, the swordsman draws back and puts his hand to the hat on his head, as if adjusting it while obscuring his face.]

Oops, sorry. Guess I slipped. [He says in tones that are OBVIOUSLY NOT UP TO ANYTHING AT ALL. And, without another word, he just... keeps on walking, never once looking back at Golbez.]

[stoppedhiding]

[ Wow. SUBTLE. Golbez is about to say something when he notices the sudden extra weight in his pocket. When he reaches in and pulls out what he finds there... Ah. Well, that's certainly preferable to what he'd been planning, but.

He takes off in the opposite direction -- Trying to give the money back would just be awkward for everyone involved. He'll find some other way to repay the debt. ]
