Fourth Floor Common Room; Lunchtime.

After War Theory, Setsuna headed up to the common room and set to the task of baking a massive batch of brownies. No, it wasn't her lunch. She wasn't actually all that hungry; they were to serve a different purpose. But, knowing that other people might not have so many reservations about such a lunch, she made lots extra to share with anyone who dropped in while she set aside and prepared a few special ~~not that kind~~ ones, which meant sprinkles and frosting and an attempt to arrange them aestheticly on a plate before inadvertantly ruining the set up when she put plastic wrap over the plate.

She'd also leave the extras out with a note telling everyone to help themselves if no one showed up by the time she headed out of there to deliver the special ones.

The twins drifted up the stairs to the fourth floor and peeked into the common room, grinning when they saw Setsuna. "Hello Setsuna."

They may have been surprised to see that she smiled back. "Hikaru, Kaoru," Setsuna nodded to vaguely to each of them. "Care for some brownies?"

They walk toward her now, seeing that she's obviously in a good mood. "Sounds good." Hikaru takes one. Kaoru crosses his arms over his chest, "So, what's the occasion? I mean, if there is any."

The smile remained, but her face got awfully red, and Setsuna lowered her head a bit bashfully. "Well, I wanted to do something nice for Jude, because he's just been really amazing lately, so that's why I made them, so I can bring some to him while he worked...but, I suppose, if we wanted to make an occation out of it, it could be in celebration of Sun Tzu, since we finally discussed him in War Theory today."

Kaoru laughed a little. "Both are good occasions."

Setsuna smiled, nodded. "Good. I'm glad you approve."

And then paused, looking at them expectantly. "Take some, try them. Let me know if they're even edible."

Hikaru takes a bite into the one he's holding, pauses, makes a face like he's gonna be sick, then gives her a thumbs up. "Excellent."
Kaoru waved a hand lightly, "I'm not feeling up to any right now, thanks."

Setsuna beamed for the approval of the one, tempted to idly hit him in the shoulder for the face, but then frowned at the other. "Are you not feeling well today?" she asked, voice touched with concern.

Kaoru's eyes widened slightly for a moment before laughing it off. "No, no! We just had some chocolate yesterday, so I'm not feeling it today."

He could NOT afford to draw attention to himself today, especially in front of Hikaru. He'd been playing it normal so far, keeping all his stress inside so that it had started to manifest itself in his stomach. He didn't get why it was making him so nervous, but it was not the time to be asking questions.

Hikaru finishes the brownie and glances at Kaoru, studying his face for a moment. "So, did you make these from scratch?"

"Oh, that's good then," Setsuna said quietly, taking careful note of the widened eyes, the following laugh. They were acting differently today, so she was paying particular attention, waiting for something to manifest that might aid her in seperating them eventually. "That you're not ill..."

"And I did," she said, answer the other one with a nod. "All by myself, too. I assure you, it's quite an accomplishment."

"You're brave." He smirked. "Of course, you've done this before, right?" Hikaru grabbed one more, as if eatting one for Kaoru.

"I'm brave? You're the one eating them," she pointed out with a grin. "And, yes, I have. I even took a baking class over the summer."

Setsuna paused a moment, her expression suddenly turning a bit serious; her gaze dropped to the plate she had prepared, and, idly, as if looking for something to distract her, she started fidgeting with the edge of the plastic wrap. "So, um...Hikaru...about the payment on the phone..." She kept her head down, but slid her gaze their way.

Hikaru gave her kind of a "duh" look. "Couldn't you see what I wrote? It's free."

Setsuna took very, very close note of who had answered; she pursed her lips together to keep from smirking a bit. She registered a few points to her memory, would continue to pay close attention to any other defining points she might notice before they or she left. Recieving a 'duh' look for a moment of capitalizing on some discerning informatin like this was worth it.

She offered him a modest smile, shook her head. "I can't accept that. It's not like I can't afford it or anything."

He raised an eyebrow. "I don't want any money though. It's just a phone."

"It's not like the money is for you, anyway," she said with a roll of her eyes. "I mean, call me crazy, but I thought people's bosses wanted them to make, I don't know, a revenue for the services rendered at their shops."

Hikaru rolled his eyes back at her. "It's my phone but if you insist on paying stop by the shop tomorrow when I'm working so I can check the price." He finished eatting the second brownie he had taken.

Setsuna nodded. "And I do insist. So I will." Her chin lifted slightly.

Hikaru waved his hand at her dismissively and went over to the sink to wash the crumbs off. Kaoru had been stareing off until they finished talking. "Well, we should be going I guess." Kaoru smiled and swayed in his place. "I hope your brownie delivery goes smoothly."

Setsuna frowned, especially at the swaying. "You sure you're all right, Kaoru?"

Kaoru looked a bit nervous as Hikaru came over. "Really. I'm fine." He gives her a quick, worried "let's drop this" look before smileing and pulling Hikaru toward the stairs. "See you later, Setsuna!"

Hmmm. Setsuna let them go with a little wave and a "Yeah, see you later..." but her mind wasn't quite ready to drop it, and she was left pondering over it as she finished getting the brownies ready.

...Verrrry interesting, those two.
