YUYA SAKAKI UN: FUNDIRECTION

STATUS: Student Grade 9

ACCOLADES: (Here is a list of leading roles Yuya's has in school theater performances over the past two years, plus a glowing review of his familiar Odd-Eyes)

BIO: Hello! You can call me Yuya. I'm from Sendai, Japan. This is my second year in Daybreak Academy. I'm a Tamer, and Odd-Eyes is my familiar. He's the big red dragon that hangs out in the courtyards. He's friendly but he tries to steal food sometimes. I speak Japanese and English but not very good French. I'm also in the theater club. I'm in Lumiere 203. Let's be friends!

[Like him...? Yuya blinks slowly, but then Toki shifts the conversation to Kuroko's things and he loses his own train of thought.]

Ah--you bought her a lot of things, do we have space for all those...? [This is turning into a cat jungle gym.]

[yokeye]

[Toki is completely oblivious to his possible miscommunication on his feelings for Maverick. Instead, he's pondering Kuroko's future career. She can have a cute pointy hat if she's driving an ice cream truck, but also some cool goggles like Yuya's if she's a pilot. Decisions.]

Uhh... I hope we have space~! Because there's more!

[Opening the fourth box, he pulls out a half-assembled wooden thing that he unfolds like a tray table, attaching the little hammock to the top.]

I was thinking this could go by the window if she likes it, but I also got... this! It's really cute!

[The final box is opened and Toki reveals a purple cat bed complete with a little pillow and matching blanket. Looking at the array of cat things now cluttering up the floor, and the fact that Kuroko still seems more amused with the boxes than the items, Toki realizes he maybe went a little overboard.]

This is too much, isn't it?

[hippocarnival]

[It's way too much.]

... Maybe we can donate all the extra stuff to the shelter.

[yokeye]

Yes! That's a great idea! They took care of Kuroko when she was in need and I'm sure she appreciates it.

[Kuroko doesn't seem to have an opinion on it, batting one of the large mice into a box and chasing after it.]

She doesn't need all the elaborate things.

[hippocarnival]

[Yuya reaches to stroke Kuroko as she pats at the edge of some tape.] She seems pretty happy with her simple toys. But these will still make a lot of other cats happy. We'll see which ones she likes and give them the rest.

[yokeye]

Maybe I should buy some food for the shelter cats too, like really good tuna~!

[He watches Kuroko for a minute. She's happy, and he's having a normal conversation with Yuya. It's a small step, and things may be turning around. Roommates doing normal mundane things, a carefree moment that's become rare. The kind of experience Toki's determined to get back.]

[hippocarnival]

[Until Yuya goes on a rampage, and then the tables have turned.

Yuya stifles a chuckle.] Maybe you'll just become a patron to the shelter.
