Nothing shady over here [Kaoru+Hibiki FTE]

Right after he’d left the room everyone woke up in he’d walked up to his room & locked himself in. The room wasn’t especially fancy, but it wasn’t too bad. All he’d done was clean the room & place everything where he wanted it to be, but as he was finished with that there’d been nothing to do at all. It felt like he’d been sitting on the floor for an eternity before it happened, a bunch of noises. It took him a while to react to it, the boredom had dulled his senses a bit. After a while he finally reacted.

Kaoru looked towards the door as if somebody would break through it at any moment. Wondering what it could be, he stood up & started walking towards it, barely lifting his feet as to not make a noise. He hesitated a little before opening the door, a murder could’ve occurred right outside, or maybe even somebody waiting outside to murder him! He prepared himself for the worst while he began to open the door.
At least there wasn’t a corpse waiting right outside for him. He took a step out, stretching his arms while looking through the hallway for corpses or other suspicious things, noticing Hibiki leaning towards the wall. That was certainly something suspicious. Hibiki of all people, why was she there? Could he have been right about a murderer waiting for him? Or maybe she’d just committed one & was running away from the crime scene? Before saying anything he looked at her, looking for anything suspicious, but he couldn't find anything too special.

“Hmmm, what are you doing here? Are you here to kill me?” he asked with a calm voice, holding back a yawn. “If so, could you make it quick?” he said while rubbing his eye.

He smirked at what she had to say. While she did say she wasn’t looking to kill anybody, he could of course not trust her, just as he couldn’t trust anybody else, but why not just go along with it. He figured it’d be better to pretend or try to trust people than to just doubt everybody.

She leaned towards him. He just stood there with his usual, relaxed demeanor & looked her in her eyes as she spoke. "'tween you an me? I was just lookin ta make sure you ain't been got yet." As if that was true, why would she care about that, anyway? While it felt obvious that it wasn’t true there was nothing he could argue against her with. Although he didn’t know anything about what had been going on outside, so maybe her claim would be a bit more believable after hearing about it.

"Ya know the artist, that Akamura guy? I caught him tryin to circumvent tha locks on one of these here doors, tryin ta bust in on somebody." Ah, so something like that happened, huh? Although this could easily be a lie, there must’ve been a reason she mentioned him of all people. Some of it was probably true, better find out more about it.

“So, Hibiki Shima, was it? Exactly what happened? While there is no reason to doubt you, I’d like to know everything about it.” As he said this he imitated her pose, leaning towards her. “Although it’s fine if you refuse to answer.” His face was disturbingly close to hers, looking right into her eyes.
