Baku nearly jumps at the sudden sound of Ryuta's voice.

Shit.

He manages to interject when Ryuta poses his question, "Oh, I j-just met Saiga-san after I'd finished some exercises. I, uhh... club days are nice, but I like to put the extra practice in to maintain my form." Again, his water proves an ample distraction, and he immediately sets to downing the rest of it before someone starts to expect him to say more. He adjusts the equipment in the bag at his shoulder, ready to make his exit as soon as he spots the opportunity.

Why me? Why now?!
