Ayumu had thought the conversation between her roommate and Suzaku, plus her own preparations to depart, would have taken more time - but apparently not. The main hallway was still fairly empty, with most of those few out and about making their way quickly toward their destinations rather than lingering.
There was one amongst those few lingering, however, who caught her attention. Yet another one of Himura's friends, which fact sent one of the cracks in her facade of calm shivering wider. She brushed a hand down the front of her shirt as though smoothing it, checking that what she'd concealed beneath her clothing was still hidden there, then moved forward.
It was likely best to just avoid the woman entirely, avoid any sort of confrontation if she wanted to get anything done tonight. Instead, though, she found herself walking close to Kaoru, her hesitant-seeming footsteps just brushing the edge of the area illuminated by the woman's flashlight.
"Oh! Hello," she said, as though suddenly startled, then paused a moment before asking, "Why do you have a pan?"
