People clustered around Elly as she left campus in a group with some other teachers. Aizawa was beside her, his expression bland as ever when he dealt with reporters. She, however, had not learned the secret of dealing with the press yet. No one had ever cared or wanted to ask her questions before!
"Is it true you're staying in Japan?"
"Is there any reason why you're staying?"
"Are you seeing anyone?"
Aizawa glanced over to see how she was doing and frowned. She was paler than usual, shaking just a little under the onslaught of unfamiliar attention. Without thinking, he took her hand in comfort and turned his deadpan gaze to the people causing her discomfort.
"If you wish to question a member of this faculty, please go through the appropriate steps." He tugged gently, urging her quickly into the limo the school provided for their transportation.
"Who are you -"
"Are you her boyfriend..?"
The door closed behind them and he sighed dismally. "Vultures."
"Thank you," she said in a weak voice with a relieved smile. He grunted, but kept her hand in his for a long while.
