“ did we really fly all this way just to play more basketball? ”
“ well, you sound like you’ve done a lot of singing, too. ”
“ well, looks like us wildcats are in for an interesting afternoon. ”
“ i hope you come watch me in the musical. ”
“ we needn’t concern ourselves with amateurs. ”
“ you are welcome to school activities that are… well, appropriate for. ”
“ do you know something about this… small person? ”
“ do you know what i’m gonna do to those two overmoussed showdogs? ”
“ now this is only going to happen; if we all work together… ”
“ this is a place of learning, not a hockey arena. ”
“ well, just, so you know singing with you was the most fun i’ve had on. ”
“ look, you’re a hoops dude. not a musical singer person. ”
“ my point is, if you play basketball, you’ll end up on the cereal box. ”
“ i don’t attempt to understand the female/male mind. ”
“ whoa, don’t tell me you’re good at hoops too. ”

The woman allowed herself to fall silent for a time, allowing her thoughts to run amok as her gaze drifted. She was quite grateful that Rise had a being as powerful as Susano’o protecting her, especially given the state of the world. And Bardot seemed more than capable of protecting herself and others, as well.

“Hey, it’s cool. S’understandable why y’would. It’s nuts out there.”
Rebecca gently waved Naoto off, a warm smile on her freckled face. It was incredibly understandable why the other would worry, she didn’t blame her for it at all.
