[FREE] Some peace and quiet (attn: Ishida)

[Ootani Yakumo]

Ah, the architect lab. A place of peace and quiet. 

Aside from the library, of course.

And just like he has been for the past week, the Architect himself was in the lab. Munching down on some snacks that he had brought once again.

There were a few bags of chips, muffins, some bananas, and of course, chocolate bars on the nearby table. He seemed to be in the process of eating one of the muffins right now. Alongside the food, you could see that Ootani had also brought some drinks, looks as if he was prepared for when his usual companions would enter the room to hang out.

Which is why, upon hearing footsteps enter the room, he glanced up from his sketch--- only to freeze.

"I--- Ishida-san?"

He wasn't exactly used to anyone else visiting the lab, and he certainly wasn't expecting Ishida of all people to be here. Sitting up in his beanbag chair, he takes another bite of his muffin before smiling nervously at him.

"I didn't really expect much visitors..., did you need something?"

He just wanted to get back to sketching, but he couldn't do that when he didn't know what the golfer was here for. Ootani just needed to make sure nothing would happen, then he could continue his previous activity.

[Ishida Takane]

Takane tensed up slightly at the sudden negative reaction to his entrance, though he quickly eased up as if he hadn't been affected at all. He silently chided himself for not expecting a reaction like that at best, but didn't end up dwelling much on it as he looked around the room. It looked like Ootani was the only one here...for now, at least. That was good. The less people the better, as far as he was now concerned. He stayed rooted in his spot right in front of the threshold between the research lab and the hall, and looked towards Ootani before sighing and finally responding.

"I understand why you're worried, but you don't have to try to act so nonchalant when you're obviously not. I decided to stretch my legs and ended up in here, nothing more."

His gaze traveled down to the area in front of Ootani, and he frowned a little.

"...Eating while working?"

[Ootani Yakumo]

And he was caught.

He lets out a small nervous chuckle before relaxing into his chair-- well, more like he flopped back down onto it. Good thing it was a beanbag chair.

"Mmm. Sorry."

At least Ishida understood-- had the golfer not... Then he probably would have felt worse than he already did.

Taking another bite of his muffin-- Ootani could finally relax now. Especially since he now knew Ishida just... happened to walk in here by chance.

And once the other had commented on his current activity, he actually smiled! Who knew he could bounce back so quickly?

"Mhm, I was in a bit of a groove and I knew I wouldn't get up to eat once I started. Soooo----"

He shrugs, leaving it at that before looking at Ishida.

"However, it's not all just for me. I usually have snacks for visitors when i'm around."

A pause.

"....Do you want one? I mean-- you don't have to take a snack but, it'd be rude not to offer."

You.. don't always have to be so polite, Ootani.
