Akane glanced up when she heard Katsura-senpai's laughter. It was... pretty, really, but she suddenly felt even more self-conscious. Had she said something silly? She hadn't said anything too silly, right? The redheaded girl fidgeted in her seat for a few moments, braid swaying back and fourth as she did. But the older girl's words were reassuring, at least. It was something abrupt and unplanned... and... and she almost never did those kinds of things on her own! In fact, thinking back on her past, Akane was quite certain she'd never once done something like this before... so perhaps becoming a magical girl really had boosted her confidence?! Oh, she could only hope so...

"Ah, um, well, then... that's... i-it's good we're doing this!" Akane finally concluded, fidgeting weakly in her seat. Ahh... this was difficult, but... if she was a magical girl she could push through anything, right?! Right!

[i]Go Akane-chaaaaan! You can do it![/i]

... Having to be cheered on about it was still kind of pathetic, though... but... little steps, right?

"Um, so, um... what were you planning on doing today?"
