Ilya put his hand to her chin in thought following Flint's little scolding session, as if not even taking the time to hide the fact he was thinking of an excuse...

"Did you know over 107 people die per minute? If I was 11 minutes late, that means over 1177 people just died. Huh. It's kinda weird when you think about it."

...or doing mental calculations to figure out how many people died during Ilya's lateness. Though that obviously wasn't what Flint was looking for. Thankfully, the 18-year old meister took a chop to the head. Ilya tilted her head to the side to view the watch properly.

"And I am here 15 minutes before 9:00. Actually, 9:00 doesn't arrive for at least 12 hours, according to your watch."

Head upright, Ilya nodded, as if satisfied with the provided answer despite the illogic behind it. "Are you sure you're reading your watch - HRUUM - correctly? Perhaps you should invest in one of those newfangled digital ones," Ilya continued, unfazed by the mid sentence bear hug provided by Kat.
