Spirit Academy

Lance started to stutter as his face turned red and he shook his head, making Ikari smirk at him.

"I brought her here to get a change of clothing from you Ikari! Not to ask you out!"

He responded, frowning as he averted her gaze. Ikari gave a small giggle as she extended a hand towards Shiro.

"I'm Ikari. It's nice to meet you Miss...?"

She stopped mid-sentence in the tone of a question, hoping to get Shiro's name from her.

Shiro looked at Ikari's hand for a second when it was offered, hesitant about it but took her hand lightly after a second.

"Shiro, you don't have to add miss or anything. He just insisted I can't fight well in dresses."

she said and stuck her tongue out at Lance some playfully.

Lance sighed and held the bridge of his nose when Shiro stuck her tongue out at him playfully like she did before turning around to leave.

"I'll just leave her with you for now then. See you later Ikari."

He told them before leaving, Ikari giving a giggle before opening her door more to let Shiro inside.

"Don't pay him a lot of attention. He's always like that. Come on in while I get you something to drink okay?"

She told her, going on inside and getting a small bottle of water out of her small fridge before handing it to Shiro. Ikari's room was a huge mess, clothes and things everywhere. Nothing unsanitary mind you but it it seemed like she liked to cover her entire room in posters and such and the like. Ikari slumps down onto the bed and smiles at Shiro.

"Sorry about the mess. I was playing music before I wanted to come out and go to classes today."

She admitted to her, putting her hand on a small acoustic guitar on the bed next to her.

Shiro watched Lance leave and waved a bit, wondering what he was going to do though. When she was allowed into the room though she walked in and looked around, mostly surprised someone could leave that much clothes out or even have that much. She accepted the water though and looked at Ikari some as she smiled slightly.

"It's fine, I heard you playing for a second before he knocked. I am guessing you like to play?"

She asked and looked at the guitar a bit curiously.

Ikari nodded and smiled, sipping on a black can of some kind of tea.

"Yeah just a little. Nothing major though."

She admitted modestly.

Shiro shook her head some and looked around again quietly for a minute, feeling odd being in the room of someone she just met.

"I bet you play nicely though, I am guessing you are going to classes later?"

She asked and looked back at Ikari with her head tilted some.

"I am probably going to stay with Lance since he needs to rest."

Ikari gives a chuckle as she puts her can of tea on a nightstand before looking around for some clothing that might fit Shiro.

"Tell me that the two of you aren't sharing a room together."

She half-asks her as she looks around for some kind of shirt to match some worn jeans she thought might fit Shiro.

Shiro watched Ikari when she got up to look for clothes. Though she started to drink her water before Ilari asked her a question which lead to her choking on her water as she shook her head quickly.

Ikari gave a loud laugh when she heard Shiro choking on the water, watching her as she shook her head quickly. She walked up to her and gave her a pair of clean, worn out jeans and a black T-Shirt on it that had what looked to be a messily painted on white star on it. She gestured to the bathroom in the corner behind some more clothing.

"That's good to hear. Now let's get you into some new clothing okay? Try those on and let's see how they fit."

She tells her, going to sit on the bed and drink her tea in the black can.

Shiro blushed as she was laughed at, accepting the clothes though as she nodded and went into the bathroom. She found it a bit odd to be doing this but a lot seemed odd now she was in a school like that. Though she quickly changed into the jeans and top before coming out as she messed with the pants and frowned.

"It feels odd to be wearing something more... form fitting like this."

Ikari got up after putting her can down onto the nightstand and went to look Shiro over as she came out, listening to her as she did.

"Do you like having more freedom on your legs or your upper body then? I personally like clothes like this but I might be able to find something loose fitting for you if that's what you want to try on."

She asked her, smiling at the thought of Shiro wearing something like her old cargo pants or the like.

"I do like more loose clothes I guess, though that might be because I haven't worn pants and a shirt like this in forever."

Shiro said and smiled a little bit, she really only felt weird because of the difference from her dresses. Even the tops usually didn't fit as well as the shirt did, it made her wonder if she might get more looks then she did in her dresses.

Ikari blinked at Shiro for a moment before tilting her head in confusion.

"Soo....you want me to get you something different to wear or....are you okay with what you've got for now? Like....you can just run around in that for now and see how it feels. I don't mind it."

She asks her.

"Would you mind if I just used these for today? I might get used to them."

Shiro said and smiled slightly as she did. Though it felt odd now she wanted to at least give it a try for now and see if she could use them more often. She did think at least they would help with fighting.

"Thank you by the way for letting a stranger borrow some of your clothes."

Ikari waved her hand lazily to Shiro.

"Naaaah it's no biggie! I have way too many outfits to do anything with anyway. Go ahead and come back if you want a change of clothes tomorrow too okay? Though I like sleeping late so you might have to wake my lazy butt up from time to time. That okay with you?"

She asks her, going to take another sip of her tea from the strange black can that she had it in.

Shiro smiled at Ikari and nodded some as she did before speaking in response.

"I might come back at a decent time tomorrow then. Thank you again."

She said and waved slightly, going to leave right after and stretched as she did. Looking around when she was out of the room she went off quickly to find Lance.

Shiro can't find Lance in any of his usual places but after a while of searching she finds him relaxing on what looks to be a small bed of blankets underneath a homemade glass roof on top of the dorm roof. He looked like he was relaxing and his eyes were closed, enjoying the warm, afternoon breezes as they passed him by.

Shiro sighed quietly when she had finally found him on the roof under the glass. She moved quietly to walk over and sit down next to him, wondering if she should bother waking him or just leave him alone. So she just ended up leaving him alone as she hummed and looked around.

It didn't take very long for Lance to realize that someone was sitting next to him and before too much longer he was looking up at her with a hugely blank expression. He narrowed his eyes at Shiro.

"Shi....ro?"

He slowly asked, unsure if it was really Shiro sitting next to him.

Shiro blinked and looked over at him when she heard what he said, tilting her head slightly as she looked at him.

"Did you need something? Or did I wake you, sorry if I did."

She said and smiled slightly as she did, worried she had since he seemed to be having a nice nap.

Lance blinked at her as Shiro fired questions at him.

"Is that really you Shiro?"

He asked her, genuinely confused and kind of impressed by the change of clothes on his new friend.

Shiro looked at him quietly, wondering if he really was awake. She had just changed her clothes, she hadn't changed her hair or face and still had her Glaive with her.

"Would you like me to whack you over the head until you actually wake up?"

Lance blinked at her change of clothes and sat up.

"W-wow....looks like letting Ikari mess with your wardrobe was a great idea on my part. You....you look great!"

He told her, blushing a bit lightly as he stared at her new clothes.

Shiro blushed as she heard what he said and noticed him looking her over, looking away as she did.

"Don't look so much, I might just hit you over the head. I am only trying these for now, she said she has looser clothes so I might use those later."

Lance blushed when he realized he was staring at Shiro and quickly looked away and coughed. After a moment though he cleared his throat again and talked to her without looking back at her.

"S-so....what should we do now? I-I mean....now that you've got those clothes on, m-maybe you'd....I dunno....want to try them out in a duel or sparring match?"

He asked her, obviously more nervous now than he had been around Shiro previously.
