*Mao had just returned to the dorms from being out in the cold, yanking off the scarf around his neck with one hand while holding his hot chocolate in the other. He seems to be happy enough,, with a small smile on his face, as he walks over to the couch and plops down to enjoy his drink~*

*Mao's outside today, sitting under a tree and staring blankly ahead. He has his knees tucked up to his chest and his arms folded so that his chin rests on them. Anyone can tell that something's wrong. You don't even have to know him to figure it out.*

*Mao appears to be outside the dorms, staring down at one of his gloved hands. There's something... odd about him though. He is smiling, however, it's certainly isn't one of his cheerful ones, and his eyes a slightly darker than before.

... Go question him about it?*

*Mao is outside one of the classrooms, staring at the student lists on the bulletin boards. Judging from his expression, he's not all that happy with what he sees.*

The number of people is shrinking again...

*Is sprawled out on a couch in the lounge, looking rather miserable. Very close by is a large fan, which is uselessly blowing air at him and had originally been blowing in a different direction until he arrived.*

Ehhh... It's too hot...

*Mao is hugging a bouquet of purple roses to his chest as he sits on a bench outside. Today is Father's Day, so he bought a small bouquet for Eugene, even though he wasn't there. He also has a basket of small bouquets and various colored roses with him. If you know him, then he probably has a rose for you!*

*Hides around the corner of a random building, panting slightly. He's dressed like a miko and has a white bow holding back some of his hair into a mini ponytail. Mao had been asked to assist in a ceremony ritual, but having no clue of what to do (or even what he was in the first place), he ran.

He's in a pretty crappy hiding place, so I'm sure you guys can find him though~*

*Sitting on a couch in the lounge, with his knees drawn up to his chest as he hugs them. He's a bit on the antsy side seeing as Saleh could make his move at any time now, but he refuses to show it. That's not the only thing that's on his mind though. The new cat ears on his head droop a bit as something comes to mind.*

It sure has been quiet lately...

*Mao is sitting on a couch, upside down, and playing with his DS. He doesn't seem all that in to it though, like he's just trying to distract himself from other things. Once he "game over"s in the game, he sighs heavily and leans his head back, flopping his arms (one still holding the DS) to the side in a frustrated manner. He really wants to do something else for once.*

*Holds his santa hat up on his head while he slips a neatly wrapped gift under their dorm's small tree. After all, it wouldn't be the CHRISTMAS DORM without one. After that, he stands up and stretches, feeling a little tired. He's not going to sleep yet though; it's his first Christmas Eve after all~*
