Oki slid open the classroom door, chalkboard brush still in hand. She was surprised to see Ryo there, and even more surprised to see Otomeken with him. "Hey guys. What's up?"

"This belongs to you?" Otomeken said with a smile on her face... "I've... suggested a modification of his training routine, but he said he would have to run it past his sensai first..."

Ryo mumbled, staring at the floor and not beaming at her the way he usually would. "She wants me to be.. sneaky..." He glanced up at Otomeken, not entirely ready to face Oki yet.

Oki frowned, looking from Otomeken to Ryo and back again. "Yes, he's mine," Oki said slowly. "But what kind of sneaky are we talking here?"
It wasn't hard to sense Ryo's guilt. What confused Oki was what the boy could have done to feel so guilty.

"He's no good at concealing his emotions... Amoung other things," Otomeken said, quite seriously. "So I want him to, once a day, steal something. Pick it up off a stand, pick a pocket, whatever it takes, and then, right away, put the object back without being noticed. He thought you might have a problem with that...."

Ryo bit his lip, trying not to betray his emotions the way Otomeken kept saying that he was doing. All he wanted to do was run up to Oki and tell her everything, but he was a coward when it came to anything like this.

Oki folded her arms over her chest, still frowning. "I can't say I like the idea, Otomeken. Ryo has... a bit of a history, and I don't like the idea of giving him that much temptation. I doubt you're going to offer to make sure he puts it back, and I've got enough to do to keep my class running and doing extra lessons with him to make sure he does." She looked down at Ryo. "What do you think of all of this?"

"I'd keep an ear out," Otomeken said and looked down at Ryo, waiting for him to give his own input, half waiting for him to just tell Oki the whole thing anyway the way he was radiating his guilt...

Aw god he couldn't take it any more... "I took a necklace.." He mumbled, barely audibly. Visibly wincing at the thought of what Oki would say to him. He'd promised not to steal anymore for her, and he'd slipped up. He absolutely hated himself right now for doing that to her, more then he cared about what could happen to himself if he was caught by the wrong person.

Oki took a deep breath, closing her eyes. "And what happened with the necklace, Ryo?"

"He put it back without the shopkeeper even noticing," Otomeken said. Sure... She herself had caught him, but that was besides the point...

Ryo nodded, agreeing with what Otomeken had said. "I didn't keep it... It was an accident Oki, I'm really really really sorry..." He still couldn't look up at her.

"I'm disappointed, Ryo," Oki said slowly. "But I'm glad you did the right thing in the end. Now what about this training proposal? Do you think you can do what Otomeken's suggesting and put things back?"

Otomeken wasn't sure if she was impressed with his confession or not, but she looked like she was at the very least... She stood and waited...

All Ryo could think was how sorry he was, but she wasn't yelling at him... "I can put it back.." He hesitated, looking up at her. Could he put them back? Yes. Would he? He hoped so. "But I don't know... I don't want to lie to you Oki..." Sometimes he just really couldn't help himself.
