Uhg. She should have expected it, she supposed, but the girl addressed her by her individual name. She even spoke good Japanese! Well, without tripping over her words, anyway. The flow, if not the form. Shortly, though, the girl was crowded around by her classmates, and Regan realized they'd left the volleyball game they were about to start to investigate the new girl. And if they were going to speak in English, well... "[u]I hate to cut zis short, but I zink ve should be getting back to our volleyball game, yes? Before ze teacher returns to scold us for chatting instead of playing yet again. I believe ze ozer team could use anozer player, Kinamoto-san, if you vould like to join us.[/u]"

Hopefully, if she kept persisting with the use of her family name in addressing her, the girl would catch on. It was a habit she was sure most students would understand, since she's American, but that didn't stop it from being rude.

She got the name flip when she introduced herself, even, how does she forget to use family names? And honorifics?! Honestly... one wouldn't have been so bad without the other.
