Ryo is bludging school today, so that he can go buy paints for a new set he's making. It's ridiculous, he knows, but he also knows he can blame it on spring fever.

And Malik, too, is usually not one to turn up for school unless absolutely necessary, or by order of Isis. His eyes flicker over people as they pass the café he's sitting in, and a familiar shock of white hair takes his interest.

If it had been Yugi or Jounouchi, Ryo would have turned and walked the other way to avoid being noticed. But it's Malik, and he peers at him curiously before stuffing his bag of paints into his hooded sweatshirt's front pocket and walks over.

"Hullo. I haven't seen you in a while."

[nekhenu]

Malik nods slightly to acknowledge Ryo, setting down his coffee. "Likewise. What's your reason for not going?" He doesn't specify where, doesn't need to.

[moderndayghost]

"The people. Mostly." He shrugs. "They just get to be a bit much sometimes. Won't your sister be mad?"

Malik nudges the chair opposite him with a foot, pushing it out from the table toward Ryo. "She's working for the government." He pauses, and adds, "Back home."
