They were to find their partners now? Her NOT class had been told they didn't need to worry about that, though it was recommended. Now she had to find a partner immediately? She hasn't even considered what she'd want in a partner, so she'd just have to follow her gut. What about that girl that responded in Japanese earlier? The brunette turns in her seat, but is dismayed to find the girl asleep. "Disrespectful..." Well, that girl was right out. The girl next to her seemed insistent on waking her, as well.

A boy nearby was watching the scene. This boy looked Japanese, in fact. Was he a Japanese American, or Japanese...? She watched Katsuo curiously for a moment before rising and approaching him. "Hello." She had returned her hand to normal, figuring it more important to make a good impression and not approach armed. But, then again... "this city is very strange, but I can't tell if the difference is from being in a foreign land, or if this city is really just that strange. I'm getting used to it, but I still think it's weird. As for the yelling... well... she shouldn't be sleeping in class." She looks around the class at the other students briefly, before turning back to Katsuo. "Katsuo, right? Sou desu, kedo... Masahige-san de mou ii desu ka?[1]" Considering his name, she figured he would probably be able to understand her. It would make sense, at least...

[1] "Would you prefer Masahige-san?"
