"The food we haven't ordered yet, Ushio-chan?"

Hiromi raised an eyebrow, tilting her head slightly to one side as she did. They hadn't even picked a place they were going to eat at yet. Expecting that excuse to actually work out was, quite frankly, a little bit hilarious. Ushio was so nervous about these things, oh dear. How ever could such a thing be remedied? The blonde girl shrugged her shoulders slightly.

"If you're having trouble telling me what the problem was, maybe I should just make it easier for you," she began, putting on a pleasant smile as her gaze returned to her friend and maid. A little distance away, the person who was on the bench seemed to keep shifting about and adjusting her position. Maybe the sun was getting to her or something, it wasn't relevant.

"As your master, Ushio-chan," Hiromi continued, "I [i]order[/i] you to tell me why you're not in uniform... and then to rectify that situation as soon as humanly possible."

"... Hmph."

Ruriko folded her arms. While she had things to do, it was clear that this girl needed some kind of direction. After all, she seemed to have just been blindly marching forward like that...

"It's not as if my performance in the tournament will be at all effected by your own," she continued, not even deigning to look back up at the other girl as she spoke, "But you're still representing this school. Someone being so inattentive will surely be defeated quickly, so you should certainly work on that."

It wasn't often that she went out of her way to do things like this, but now? Not only was she annoyed, but this girl seemed to have just blindly stumbled into her. There was no way she'd simply let that lie, and to Ruriko that action spoke volumes to her about just how competent the girl would be in a fight.

"It would be almost humiliating to have a fellow student eliminated because of a total failure to pay attention, after all, wouldn't it?" she added, finally looking back up a the taller girl with an eyebrow raised, "Hmph. I'd certainly feel that way about something so stupid."
