Sophia herself became rather concerned when she saw the confusion on the girls face. she ridiculed herself within her own thoughts as the moments ticked by and her face began to shine and increasingly dark shade of red at the prospect of possibly making herself look like a crude American. Though as the girl responded she sighed a bit in relief, at least her gibberish was at least faintly understandable. Though the relief only lasted but a moment as the girls words sank in. She was right, it was none of Sophia's business but she always believed that once you accidentally body check someone into the floor it's your duty to make sure everything is alright. She looked awkwardly down at her wrinkled piece of paper in her hands for a moment. As the girl spoke up once more Sophia's ridiculously bright blue eyes looked up once more.She frowned as she translated what the girl said the best she could in her head. She was stumbled on one part. She said she was either marbled at or laughed at. Sophia was going to take a stab in the dark and go with she was laughed at. Sophia nodded in understanding, she knew all to well the pain of people laughing and making fun of someone. Hell, she moved across the world and learned an entirely new language just to get away from it. "I am much sorry." She spoke sweetly and tenderly, her words conveying her understanding of the situation all to well.Knowing not to pry anymore into any details she thought she might change the subject by introducing herself. After bashing into the girl she thought it was only polite. "My name is Sophia Erinsson. It's nice to meet you!" She said almost masterfully, she had only practiced the sentence over a hundred times during her tutoring. With that she out stretched her hand. She couldn't remember if people in japan shook hands in greeting but she was in default mode. "But you can call me Sophie."
Another exchange student? Or perhaps just a foreigner living overseas for some reason or another. It was evident now that this girl, Sophie her name was, wasn't native. Her rocky understanding of the language and her name were giveaways enough. It was her offer of a handshake that cemented this for Reiko. Reiko merely looked down at the offered hand and then back up to Sophie.
"I'm not going to call you anything," Reiko responded, her moment of vulnerability seeming to have faded away. "Don't act like you're trying to be nice or be my friend or what you're doing now. I don't need a friend. I need you to look where you're going next time."
Short of stomping her foot down, Reiko did what she could to come off as aggravated. As angry. Her tone was firm and flat and her eyes stared towards Sophie without an ounce of goodwill behind them. She had had enough of people pretending like they care, and she had had enough of people acting like they wanted to be friends or whatever. This girl was no exception to that.
Reiko was having a terrible first day.
