It was almost as if she had heard a ghost with the way she jumped, turning immediately to Sakuya. And to stare in near disbelief. This... was probably what that call from her mother was about. The one she missed and never returned.

"S-sakuya?!"

The boy couldn't help chuckling a little at his friend's reaction. Okay, so perhaps it had been a little immature of him, but after how long it had been since they'd last seen each other, it felt better to do it in person than over the phone or, dare he succumb to it, the internet. He still hadn't even so much as touched any of those "chat clients" though he had a feeling that would probably change before long with all the "intranet" business the school had going.

And yes, the look of surprise on her face was just a little priceless.

"Hello, Lady Patchouli. Reading as much as ever, I see?"

With a blush, Patchouli moved desperately to brush hair from her face and get a better look at the young man. That was... definitely Sakuya. She recognized his signature braids right away.

"They're... some literature from home. And really now, you can drop that formality."

"Hmm... if you're sure, Patchouli," he conceded after glancing about and seeing there wasn't anyone else in the immediate vicinity. Expect the "Lady" title to slip in again. Or just be fully enforced in the company of others.

"Well, let's get these out of the way then," said the butler, taking up position behind the cart of books and pushing them out of the way of the elevator and down the hall. "Which room is yours?"

"Room 405 is mine... So you've enrolled here?" Patchouli asked, the first of many questions rumbling around in that complex mind of hers.

"I'm 712 - in the South Quad, that is."

A destination to aim for, Sakuya started pushing the mountain of literature that way as they talked.

"I have indeed," he confirmed. "It took a while to get everything sorted out, transferring in all the way from a Japanese public school, so that's why I've arrived so late in the year."

She honestly couldn't help but smile, sudden as it all was. She could still recall the last time she saw him... Though he was remarkably shorter back then. And not as handsome. Oh. Oh dear.

"I-I see..."

Patchouli was not so different from what he remembered - and perhaps it was because of the way he viewed her. Still with the long, pretty hair and quiet expression, and while she wasn't dressed up as much as when she was at home, this more casual look still suited her personality. Any height she might have gained was rather eclipsed by his own growth spurt. As for beauty? Well, he'd always known she was a nice-looking girl and if she could just be a little more proactive, she'd no doubt be able to catch some man's attention if she wanted. Both were rather large if's though.

"This is it, right?" he said as they came to a stop before room 405. "Is it locked?" Though whether or not it was, he'd need Patchouli to open the door so he could wheel everything in.

With a small sound, Patchy nodded and began to fish for the keys in her purse. It takes a moment, but eventually the door is opened and they're both hit with a wave of air conditioning from the room not being lived in for some time. Oh bother.

This is something Sakuya found a bit refreshing, though he did worry about Patchouli with her health and all. Well, hopefully it would warm up? Once she's inside and out of the way, he wheels the cart in after her, taking a moment to close the door behind him before following.

"Where do you want these?"

Patchouli directs him over to the room on the left. Once inside, she'll point out the currently empty bookshelf.

"Corrine and I were going to organize them at some point... For now I suppose you can leave the cart," she spoke before shivering hard.

"Alright," he said, following her directions and wheeling the cart over next to the shelf where it's mostly out of the way. That done, he turned his attentions back to her.

"Are you cold, Patchouli?" he asked with some concern. "Should I fetch you a jacket or sweater? You have clothes here from before, correct?" It was a little unseasonable to be bundling up, but the room was a bit chill.

"I am a bit cold. I think the maintenance officials left the thermostat on while I was away," she said, her words jolted by another shiver.

"Well, then let's get you something," he said, wrapping an arm about her shoulders without much thought as he guided her back towards the bedroom. Looking around, he realized a problem in the fact that there was a bunk bed as well as two sets of, well, everything. "...which drawers are yours? Well, I suppose you can get something for yourself..."

O-oh. Yes that... Sure was Sakuya's arm over her shoulder there. Keeping her nice and warm. Why was this suddenly so awkward? She had practically grown up with him. This was ridiculous...

"Y-yes, I can... get something for myself."

Any nervousness that showed on Patchouli's part only registered as either a reaction to the cold or part of her normal quiet disposition to Sakuya. The idea that he might be making her uncomfortable or self-aware didn't even really occur to him. This was Patchouli, after all. Why reason would she have to react that way to him?

"Alright," he said, pulling back his arm to let her do so. Of course, the gentlemanly thing to do when a woman was changing would be to leave, but since it was just throwing on a sweater or jacket he stuck around for now, unless the girl requested his absence.
