Claude seemed to keep to himself as he rolled the wrapper from the chocolate into a ball. Ordinarily, he would have made a guess at such a thing, and probably have some degree of success; but he didn't know Yuuna - let alone the rest of the students - well enough. Still, he might as well listen in; anything he could know about anyone would always be useful - and he was sure that there would be a place in the newspaper for such thing. Come to think of it, he hadn't heard much about that. He pretended to be uninterested as he finished off the rest of his drink.

Makie closed her eyes, thinking as hard as she could. Yuuna didn't know a lot of guys yet, so that could help sum it down a little. Let's see...she's met Claude, Lukas, Jun, Sui, Driiviline, Tatsumi, Negi..I don't think Yuuna likes Lukas like that..and..I don't know about Claude. Cause if it was Claude-san, wouldn't Yuuna-chan be acting weird now? Plus, she wouldn't tell me if I guess it right. Makie was actually using her brain for once. "Is it...Jun-kun or Sui-kun?" she asked. But Yuuna didn't seem to like it when one of them kissed her hand..

"Nope, wrong on both. Three more guesses," she said as she leaned back in the seat and draped her arms over the back. "You might need to think outside the box if you want to get it right, Makie-chan." Though, inwardly, she was starting to doubt whether or not she should've been so forward. After all, it would almost certainly cause some distress for this person if they knew about her crush. And that was the last thing Yuuna wanted to happen. It was with a strange mix of anticipation and dread that she awaited those next three guesses.

Thinking outside the box. Well, that was something Claude was certainly good at - how many people would think about buying a broom for use as a weapon? He picked up the unlit cigarette, putting it into his mouth. "Nothing more than a pure guess..." He said as a subtle smirk spread across his face. "But, it wouldn't happen to be another girl, would it?" In all honesty, he couldn't care less - it was hardly his business - but he might as well join in the game. He had no basis for this guess - but it was certainly thinking outside the box.

"Ack!" Now this was a cause for embarassment. Because with that revelation, it got a whole lot easier. Laughing shakily, she put a hand to the back of her head. "Are you sure you're not psychic, Claude-san?"

Claude chuckled. It seemed his wild stab in the dark had paid off - and for once, it wasn't an actual literal stab in the dark. Boy, those were messy. He shook his head. "Heh heh... No, I am not psychic. I simply understand people quite well." He had suspected it from the overconfidence that Yuuna seemed to give off when she said that she'd tell Makie if she guessed right - well, of course she wouldn't have - Makie would have been guessing only males had Claude not thrown in is little hunch. He smiled towards Makie. "Per'aps that will make your guessing a little easier."

Makie looked up at Yuuna. Was her friend lesbian? Or bi? Not that it mattered, though. "It's true, Yuuna-chan?! So your crush isn't a guy, right?" said Makie. Makie's guesses and suspicions were totally off target. Good thing Claude-san is here..otherwise I may have never guessed that it was a girl..

"Ahahahaha, yeah, yeah, he's right, Makie-chan." Dammit. Okay, cool it, Yuuna. She's still running about one in six odds of getting it right. Or something like that. Man, it was hard to think now.

This game was hard for Makie. The chances of her guessing it right were very low. She didn't know that Yuuna liked a girl n the first place! "Yuuna-chan, it's not fair! How bout you give me some clues? Or I'llask you some questions? Cause I have absolutely no clue on who it is. At least give me a chance!" she said, half whining.
Chisame just continued eating, listening in on their conversations. This was starting to get even more interesting. Who could it be..And how the hell did Claude guess so accurately?! Geez...this guy sure is clever. Good thing, cause that makes him he perfect man forChiu's job.

She thought about it for a minute, then shook her head. "Sorry, Makie-chan, the only clue I could give you that wouldn't be a dead giveaway would still make it too easy. Besides, even I know that it would be troublesome for her if she found out, so I don't even know if I want you to figure it out anymore."

Claude scratched his chin as he tried to piece together another guess. He didn't know that much about Yuuna; nor did he know that many girls that were here. He knew he could figure something out. There was the hat - the Halo 3 one. Surely that could be used for something. He leaned on the table, narrowing his eyes as if focusing intently, trying to make another clue form. "Incidentally, Yuuna-san... I did happen to notice something earlier." He said with another smirk. He didn't know where he was going with this; but maybe if he put on that he did, she'd end up shooting herself in the foot... so to speak.

Yes, indeed, the Halo 3 hat. The same hat, in fact, that she was currently wearing. Though, someone unfamiliar with the Halo universe might not necessarily recognize the UNSC insignia on the front of her hat, and might just assume it to be a random military hat. "Hm? What was it you noticed?" She didn't think anything odd of that remark, yet, even though she should be particularly on-guard.

Makie just sat still for a moment, rubbing her chin like an old man stroked his chin. But as hard as she thought, she couldn't think of one, and basically gave up. "Is it me~?" she asked jokingly, getting into a humorous pose, fluttering her eyelashes. It'd be sort of weird if it was true, but she higly doubted it. She was just playing around, after all. "OH WAIT! NO! I TAKE THAT BACK! I was just joking, so that doesn't count!" she said after realizing what she's done.

"Well," Claude began, leaning back again, folding his arms. So much for hoping that it would've been that easy. He pointed towards her hat. "I noticed that hat." He said with a smirk. The Halo games were ones that he had actually played for a while - he considered them to be one of the most balanced 'sports'; unless someone picked up the Energy sword. As a policy, he'd always pick up the sword but never use it - just so that the rest of the players would have to resort to playing an FPS as opposed to a point-and-click game. "United Nations Space Corps, oui? That would imply that you have played the Halo series, am I correct?" He still wasn't entirely sure where he was going with his line of inquiry, and had a feeling it would probably lead nowhere... but you never know. He made sure to pay careful attention to Yuuna's reaction to Makie's little joke - he'd pick up on it if she wasn't quite sure about her response.

Man, and speaking of Halo, she was about as red as an Elite Major's crimson armor right about then. She slid down into the seat until she was almost beneath the level of the table, tilting her head down so that the brim of her hat hid her face. "Yeah...yeah, you got it, Makie-chan..." she said, her voice incredibly quiet, and shaking. "I ....you...It's weird and all but...and then I know that you kinda like Negi-kun, and there are those two other boys...and it occurred to me that this might be a bother to you and..." And dammit, she had nowhere to run, either. She was sitting in the middle of a circular seat with Makie on one end and Claude and Chisame on the other. And in the middle of all that, the enthusiasm Yuuna would normally display at the presence of another Halo fan would be totally absent here.
