Solaris Kousei
He wasn't sure how everything escalated so quickly. He was used to getting hurt. After all, the vice-president had been in this business for awhile. Once, Sol leapt from a balcony sophomore year to try and stop a potential couple from looking where one of the club members was setting up the next trap (he broke his arm), or the time where he completely wiped out on the snow to prevent a potential couple from leaving a designated spot during a skiing trip (a fever that lasted a week). It was safe to say Haruhi wasn't happy about any of this which confused Solaris to no end. It was only occasional and only in the most dire of situations (no one liked to set off an enraged little firecracker). It wasn't like Solaris thought about it before he did it either... There was no use doing calculations when he knew for sure he could stall.
So everyone fussing over his health was more than perplexing to him. Well, perhaps they were more worried about Ren, or Haruhi's rage then they were about him. He wouldn't be surprised about that. Perhaps freshmen were just overly emotional this year, or Ren was just trying to get an excuse to stir up drama. This wouldn't be the first time he used Solaris as an excuse for something. The brief touch to his bangs made him think-- no, Ren was simply mad at the lax apology which was surprising to the upperclassmen considering the freshman was usually much more level headed.
Then Daichi had grabbed Ren's wrist-- now the warning bells were going off in his mind. If that wasn't enough, there was Ruby bursting into the scene, claiming he had a concussion? This entire situation was going to give him a concussion. Where had everyone just burst from? One minute he was nursing his wound and the other-- Well, to be fair this was the Lover's Club. He shouldn't be surprised over anything anymore.
Then she mentioned no sweets. Now, Solaris had never been fond of Ruby. Sweet stealer, quick to utilize violence to get what she wanted, and in Solaris's eyes she was much too overbearing for his liking. The final straw was shy, introverted Mariko entering the room doting on him. As lovely as being fawned over was, the looming threat of no sweets was inconceivable.
Meow!
The special notification sound of Haruhi's text from his phone made him blink twice, giving his screen a brief look-over during this mess. Mess or not, he took pride in his title as vice-president. Perfect. An hour to waft around... He'd take advantage of this.
Deep breaths, Solaris. "Tanaka-san, everything is alright. Don't worry yourself more than you have to, though certainly if you want to help, I'll let you do me a favor." A weighted sense of authority was firm in his tone before he took her hand with a polite smile. His attention towards Daichi and Ren primarily but this applied to the whole group. "Fight if you'd like, but Tanaka-san is right. We have our president to answer to. Remember you're stranded out in the woods with nothing but the consequences of your actions. Believe me when I say that this summer camp can turn into a boot camp in a blink of an eye." He averted his gaze while suppressing a shiver. He'd rather not think about the possible fallout if they actually begun swinging their arms.
Then his piercing arsenic gaze narrowed down towards Ren. "You didn't have to start a fight. I'm fine, aren't I? You're more upset about the apathetic response than my current health." He genuinely believed this-- after all, no matter how close they were, their relationship was primarily contractional. One gave, the other took and vice-versa. There was no logical reason for Ren to be this upset. "Moreover, if you were injured..." What would Solaris do? Dropping that train of thought, his foot shifted to pivot his attention to the offender.
The upperclassmen furrowed his brows before turning his attention then to Daichi. "I understand you're upset about the hostility towards your direction, but you don't have to make it worse by threatening him. That gets you nowhere. Your threats don't hold any weight here where there's authority figures just outside so don't pretend to puff yourself up. Respect each other in this club or nothing will get done. I hope you'll keep my words in mind as you really can make an impact in this club. I believe that, but if you're quick to threaten other members you might be tied into a buddy-buddy activity like having to sit in an isolated room for an hour waiting for a client with our very considerate Fujiwara-kun." A sickeningly sweet smile tugged on his lips, "Even my patience has limits." Now that the lecture was done...
"Now, Nakamura-chan has given us an hour to explore before we return to this spot. You can waste your time bickering, or you can do more productive tasks like actually enjoying yourself before time is up. There's a waterfall which pools into a lake somewhere around here, trails, you can see about finding souvenirs to take home, or you can find other things to do. For me... I'm out of here to find something sweet to do." An emphasis on the word before he shot a particularly irritated look Ruby's way though he quickly masked the expression once again with his polite smile. He snagged his backpack with one hand before beginning to tug Mariko away from the scene.
Once they had gotten far enough that the cabin was out of sight, and they would be out of the vicinity of being heard, Solaris swiveled around. His expression was completely blank as he stared at Mariko wondering why he had brought her this far. If he had gone on his own, he would've had a moment to rest by himself. Turns out that a big drawback of being on a school field-trip was being surrounded constantly. He'd need time to recharge sometime... Just not now, he supposed.
Accommodating. Responsible. Mature. A Leader.

"Still interested in doing me a favor? I mean after all that drama I don't think I can do all this workload by myself..." He trailed off before beginning to unzip his bag. "I needed someone to help me test out some Lover's Club material anyways." He mentioned with a slight shrug. "You're also welcome to head back. I just figured if I stormed off by myself... Well, it wouldn't be as superb as getting this task done along with another member. Sort of like... Training. Ah, do me a favor and don't mention what happened to Nakamura-chan. I think at this rate she'll wrap me in bubble-wrap... Or something. I never know what's going through her mind sometimes." Solaris slowly requested, more of a polite smile spreading across his lips as he gently took her hand in his own. Perhaps the physical touch was supposed to be a coax of some sort--
He wondered if it was irresponsible of him to pull her out this far when he supposed her goal might have been to make as many friends as possible... Or perhaps while he wasn't looking, she'd already made a few. Maybe Solaris needed to pay more attention to those types of things. He probably wouldn't.
"Know how to swim?" He asked, giving no indication whether that skill-set was necessary or not before holding out a folder stuffed to the brim with paper. It had a few cliché scenarios he wanted to test the plausibility of... he had a few more traps in his bag but he figured he'd rather Mariko not... Set them off. Solaris pushed his bangs up, his hands settling on his forehead for a moment as he thought about how colder his hands were compared to...
Blinking twice he looked towards Mariko before gently tapping on the folder, "So what'll it be? If you want to help, you can just pick a date scenario and we'll try and follow the script. Some of them are based off of interviews from couples." Solaris figured this was a good use of his time. It was either this or something... Atypical. He never imagined himself as one to attend summer camp, really. He wasn't too great at the whole partake in fun summer camp activities like summer songs, swimming, or making friendship bracelets... From what he researched.
