[@Eodwyn Aether] Manami's face went red, but not from embarrassment. In fact, to a normal person one would be embarrassed at the fact that they had been told how to ask for food like a child was to say please and thank you. For her however, she was always around this kind of atmosphere due to the fact that meetings as well as cooperation assignments were quite gruesome if one wasn't ready for it. Right after his speech Manami extended her hand across the table, getting up in the process, and grabbing Liam by the collar of his shirt in an attempt to get him to look up at her. Manami held that position for a few seconds before saying anything to break the silence. [color=coral]"Someone sure does know how to talk,"[/color] she said in a low tone, but loud enough for Liam to hear. [color=coral]"I came here to teach you Math, and if you refuse my offer then I'd suggest keeping a low profile so as to not ruin my reputation."[/color] Of course some thought that by her reputation she meant school, but it was a social reputation that went beyond school. [color=coral]"As for the food,"[/color] she looked down at one of his sandwiches then took one with her free hand. [color=coral]"That'll be my payment for today."[/color] She had paused to sit back down in her chair not waiting for a response form Liam. [color=coral]"As well as any other day if you agree for me to tutor you."[/color] Manami then bit into the half sandwich as she put on leg on top of the other, and sat back in the chair. [i]Wew, that was a close call[/i]. She was about to budge, and spill it all if not for the split-second decision to throw the conversation in another direction. One more second ans she would have been completely honest. [i]What a disappointment. A simple guy swaying my determination. It's almost laughable. [/i]
