[Kidou keeps an eye out and when he notices Sakuma across the crowd, he quickly pushes his way through.]

Sakuma!

[kickspenguins]

[At the sound of someone calling his name, Sakuma quickly turns around. He spots Kidou immediately since his goggles do make him stand out despite everything and everyone else around them but the state his friend is in surprises him.]

Kidou, what happened?!

[pengeen]

[He takes Sakuma's arm and drags him to the side of the room, where it's less crowded.]

Don't worry about me, I had a stupid accident involving a treadmill, that's all.

[kickspenguins]

Really? Are you okay? Are you sure?

[Hi, he can't help fretting.]

[pengeen]

It's just a scrape, Sakuma.

[kickspenguins]

[He sighs.]

You should be more careful.

[pengeen]

Sorry.

[He rubs the back of his head slightly]

How have you been doing?

[kickspenguins]

Not bad. I didn't eat much all week though.

[pengeen]

Ah, me neither.

[He crosses his arms]

Hopefully the food will be better this upcoming week.

[kickspenguins]

I'm actually surprised that so far things haven't been too bad.

[Well, except for the third group. But let's not mention them.]

[pengeen]

So am I, to be honest.

[Though you never know when Riki or Dax might decide to pull a Jason and start giving their groups weird surgeries]

Don't drop your guard, though.

[kickspenguins]

I won't. Same goes for you, too.

[Because he's still worried especially when Kidou does things like trip on treadmills.]

[pengeen]

I promise I won't.

[The treadmill was going really fast ok and he got distracted]

... You don't happen to have any hairbands on you though, do you?

[kickspenguins]

In my trunk but not here. Don't really need them.

[He runs a hand through his short hair to emphasize.]

Did you lose yours?

[pengeen]

[He reaches into his pocket and holds out a red string.]

It got caught on something during the treadmill incident and snapped.

[And this is the guy who was once your esteemed captain, Sakuma]

[kickspenguins]

[It's okay Kidou, he still thinks you're cool.

Sakuma takes the string and looks at it for a bit before tying the ends together. When he's done, he stretches it a couple times to make sure it stays together before holding it back out to Kidou.]

It's probably too small like this though.

[pengeen]

I can at least put some of my hair up with this, and that's better then letting it stay down.

[He takes it and puts his hair up then, leaving the bangs down. Then he smiles.]

Thanks, Sakuma.

[kickspenguins]

[He shrugs.]

It's nothing. I know what it's like with long hair and it can get annoying sometimes.

[pengeen]

[He laughs a little bit] I don't know why I didn't think about tying it myself. Probably because I've been so busy worrying about you guys, I forgot that I could simply tie it back together.

[He sighs.]

[kickspenguins]

It's understandable. Stress can make you forget simple things. You shouldn't worry too much anyway.

[Even if saying that makes him a hypocrite.]

[pengeen]

Ah, I'll try.

[Sakuma you know he's the biggest worry-wart in the world.]

... I really hope you don't end up getting voted out this time.

[And then he's worrying again]

[kickspenguins]

[He puts a hand on Kidou's shoulder, attempting to be comforting.]

It'll be okay somehow. Besides, I'm not scared.

[He actually is but he's had enough practice being indifferent to pretend that he isn't.]

[pengeen]

It doesn't matter if you're scared or not, Sakuma. I don't want to watch you die.

[kickspenguins]

If it can't be helped, it can't be helped. Your group has to lose someone too, you know. You should worry about yourself first.

[pengeen]

The chances of me being the one to go are less then the chances of you going. Your group has to lose five people, that's a lot. And if no one votes, then there's a better chance of you going.
