          The students hustle and bustle through lunch, but Kureha has blessed silence. Not for lack of effort on her classmates' part, of course; but through judicious application of glares and cool reactions, the girl's reputation has rapidly turned from 'the gloomy sickly girl' to 'the sharp-eyed ice princess'. It gives her time to be alone with her food, and alone with her thoughts. Currently, those thoughts turn to the previous day's walk outside.

          'You, kimono girl! Rules of being a magical... whatever we are! If you do not give a name, one will be assigned for you. Do not think I won't call you Strawberry horns!'

          Quietly, Kureha scoffs, annoyance creeping up on her. How obnoxious. Foisting her 'rules' on someone with the poor fortune to walk into this madness... Honestly. Honestly! Transforming a children's slide into a giant... clown... penguin... thing, dragging her into their mess, then expecting her to play by their rules? Hmph.

          Lifting another bite into her mouth, the girl frowns faintly. She's not getting involved in this nonsense anymore. It's dangerous, they're ungrateful, and she's sure they're going to expect her to pay them back for every moment of help they offer her. Nothing is free. Better to not get involved, and then she doesn't even need to worry about that childish 'name' business.

          For several long moments, Kureha continues to eat in silence, not aware of how quickly she's shoveling her food into her mouth.

          ...but, if I *were* to pick a name... I wonder...
