The way she responded to his question about sweets was eloquent and measured: graceful even. She handled her words well, which made sense considering she seemed to be a woman of 'upper' birth. He hardly minded that the woman was affluent, as his adoptive mother could also have been considered a rich individual: had the woman been less inclined to live a less Spartan life-style than the one she had raised the ursine Faunus in. 

Still, Orion had a lot of time for a person who measured what they said. It reflected an amiable temperance: a level-headedness, if you will. She noticed that the woman placed a certain emphasis on asking the other individual who walked with her on Surnames, and Orion realised he had forgotten to mention his. He was about to mention it when she started to go into depth about her outfit: and more specifically, the name of its parent company. So lady Sakanade was [i]literally[/i] a lady: it seemed.

Her pinpointing of his own clothing’s origins left Orion at a pause: He wasn’t sure how best to respond to the nonchalant statement, for it could mean a great many things. It could mean that the woman took offence to someone wearing what she likely believe an inferior brand of clothing, or it could equally mean that she was simply attempting to reflect his light conversation back at him. Either way, he thought that discretion and temperance would probably be suitable. “Patchwork, huh? Honestly I don’t pay much attention to where my clothing comes from. I’m more of a ‘the man makes the clothing’ sort of guy. I don’t want to strain the Armstrong budget, not that…mother couldn’t afford it.” He cursed his own pause: sure that the little idiosyncrasy in his speech would get picked up on. He couldn’t imagine the woman would miss such an obvious detail, instead he just hoped that the woman would not care enough to push the issue.

Orion looked towards the entrance of the auditorium and spotted Reya, hovering a slight distance ahead of them, seemingly excited by the whole ordeal: as she’d jogged on ahead. “Hey, Reya: this is Arara Sakanade, Arara: this is Reya Descrata.” He hoped introducing the pair would allow him to subtle manoeuvre the conversation away from his verbal error and towards…anything else. If he could make the pair into friends, that would also serve as a bonus.
