Hotaru let out a quiet whistle upon seeing the files. "That's... a lot..." she turned to Jack. "Now I see why you hated working here."
Carefully, she walked over to one pile of files, laying her hand on top of it. "Well, what did you plan on doing with these?" she asked curiously. She was a little unsure, but she had come all this way. 'No turning back now.' she thought with a light shrug.

Jack flipped through a stack. "Yup, this is hell on earth. And as for what I was planning on doing, it was a toss up between burning half and leaving the rest completely untouched and let them wonder why, or clogging up the piping with 'em." He cast an eye over them. "Though the amount of paper in here seems to have multiplied since I last visited..."

"Well, there are more kids coming into the clans everyday, you know." she pointed out to him. "I feel really sorry for the person who has to put all of these together." she gulped. "All of this paper..."
While flipping through some of the stacks, a thought popped in her head, and why right then she wasn't sure. "What are we gonna do if we get caught...?" the thought made her once again tug on her hood. By this point, you couldn't even see her eyes anymore.

"Huh." Jack grunted, looking up from his stack. "Didn't think of that." He thought for a moment. "I guess we just won't get caught then." He said with a shrug. "And if we do, Aiden's in the building and he'll cover for us."
It seemed like a fine plan to him, he didn't know how it would go over with Hotaru though. He tossed the file aside, noticing how it toppled over another pile entirely, sending papers flying across the floor. He grinned. "And I believe I found what I'll be occupying myself with."
He shoved over another stack of files, watching with child-like glee as they fell to the floor with a 'shhff.' "It won't get us in too much trouble if we get caught but it'll be one hell of a mess to clean up."

Hotaru watched him scatter paper after paper across the room. It looked like fun, so she decided to join in, pushing over a few of the stacks around her. "These are heavy." she commented, trying to shove over another stack. She wondered just how many files there were in the room. Obviously a lot, but she was somewhat busy trying to come up with an exact number, slowing down er process of knocking down files.
After a while, she decided to give up on figuring out the amount. Besides the paper falling over, there wasn't much sound coming from the room, which was starting to creep her out. She grinned, thinking of something that would surely get some sort of reaction from Jack.
"You know, our next date better have as much fun as this one." she said this as if she actually meant it. Who knows, maybe she did. She turned back to her friend, raising an eyebrow as if to say "Well?"

Jack was caught off guard by the statement and slipped on one of the many loose pieces of paper scattered about the room. He fell on his back and hit another stack hard enough to topple it over. He looked up. "Uh... what?" He asked as smaller folder slipped off of the table and into his lap.
"Now what's this?" He asked aloud, opening it up to reveal a picture of him in a scratchy gray business suit next to one of him laughing with an Ookami bracelet from when he was thirteen. "My file..."

Hotaru walked over to where he had fallen at. "I- I'm sor-" she cut herself off when she realized Jack's file open up. She backed away, not wanting to look into it. "Sorry." she muttered.

Jack looked at the file in his hands. "I'd shred this if it wouldn't become incriminating evidence." He peered at it closer. "These guys are stalkers! They even have down the number of times I've eaten at the Mystik Wok since I joined the clans!" He chucked it aside.
The Ookami turned back to Hotaru with a soft smile. "It's fine, you didn't know that would happen." He grinned. "But now I'm curious, did you mean that 'date' comment?"

Hotaru could feel a small blush rising in her cheeks. She hoped they couldn't be seen but turned the other way just to make sure. She turned a little to quickly, as she slipped and fell backwards on the paper like Jack had done. She fell on her back, her hood finally popping off of her head to reveal her face... along with her red stained cheeks. She made a mental note that pale skin doesn't hide blushes all too well and she let out a small, awkward laugh.
"Umm..." she said lightly, beginning to feel embarassed.

Jack reached out a hand to grab the falling girl, barely missed, and watched her fall to the floor. Luckily, the floor was padded by the deemed 'useless' files, so there was little chance of injury.
It was at this point that he noticed the blush. "Ah-ha!" He exclaimed, poking her nose. "Guilty as charged!"

Hotaru quickly sat up on the floor, looking away from him. The blush was still there was she spoke. "So what, you gonna make fun of me now?" she asked, sounding slightly irratated.

Jack rolled his eyes and held out a hand to help her up. "Noooo... What do you think I am? Seven?" He paused. "Wait, don't answer that. I don't think I'd like the answer..." He shook his head in an attempt to bring his thoughts back to the present, brown hair falling in his face at the action.
"So are you going to take my hand and get up, or just sit there?" He joked. "Because my arm's getting kinda tired just sitting here..."

Hotaru let out a puff, taking his hand and standing up. When she was back on her feet, she put her hood over her face again. "So what then? People usually have some kind of reaction... Besides falling over, that is." she tried not to sound so annoyed, there was no reason for that.

Jack thought for a moment, his own blush rising to his face. "Well, uh..." he spun around to hide his face, he didn't have a cloak to help him after all. "That is... I..." He poked his head out of the door. "Oh look! Coast is clear, let's get going!" He grinned at her, hoping she'd accept the subject change.

Hotaru stood there, arms folded. No way she was gonna let the subject changed that easily. "It's your turn now, mister. And in case you didn't know, I did see that blush just then." She tried to stay serious, but it was hard to keep her hidden smile back for so long.
