Sophia gently pulled as the girl took her hand to help her to her feet. Letting her hand free as she stood on her own she watched as the girl patted away the dust on her own skirt. Sophia looked down at herself, noticing she also had cultivated a decent amount of dirt from the fall. She brushed off the dust, running her hands down her stomach in attempt flatten the newly formed creases in her shirt. She then looked up curiously as she heard the girl speak. She almost didn't catch all that she said and some words she didn't quite know though understood what she said through context clues. Sophia nodded simply, shyly looking around but to nervous to actually look the girl in the eyes."Why reason you for crying then?" She tried to say but accidentally used a couple wrong words. She knew she messed up the sentence but hadn't a clue on what she said wrong and the words to fix it. So she only hoped the girl would understand the question.

What did this girl ask? Reiko looked towards her, her mouth open at the corners - her confusion on her face. The confusion didn't come from the QUESTION she asked, that Reiko understood, rough as it was, the general meaning was there. It helped that there didn't seem to be a weird sort of drawl in how she spoke. The confusion came from the intent behind the question. Why did she care? Why did she want to know why Reiko was crying? Why was no one around here able to keep to their own business? 

And yet, Reiko kept all of those thoughts inside this time. She didn't turn and run away. She didn't lash out or raise her voice. Everything that had just happened had seemed so unusual, so surreal that maybe, just maybe, mentioning it would make everything start to make...sense. And given the way this girl responded, it was possible her understanding of the language was rocky. The chance of her telling other people was also considerably less. The club members were probably already in the midst of doing that anyway. 

"It's not any of your business why I was crying." So much for her plan to talk about it. Her tone was soft, no hint of annoyance to be found, though her words said otherwise. "Club members...my club members tricked me. Laughed at me. They hurt me. That's all I'm saying. It's not your business." 

It truly wasn't any of this girl's business. With luck, she wouldn't pull an Aino and make it into her business.
