The sound of Mitsuya's voice managed to coax Satomi out of the stupor she'd entered after the reveal. Right, boy asking for directions. She really should answer him before she made herself out to be any more of a weirdo than she already had. After Mitsuya turned to handle the guard, she turned back to the boy. She knew when she was out of her depth and her senpai obviously knew far more about this place. Satomi could handle people, especially of the opposite gender.

"Oh, sorry, I thought I saw someone I knew."

The lie flowed easily off her lips and her expression changed from one of shock to a mixture of contrition and dismay. She lowered her gaze to seem as if she were suddenly bummed out about something. With any luck, she'd be able to diffuse things on this side while Mitsuya handled the guard.

"Which high school are you looking for? I may be able to guide you there," she said in a somewhat strained tone, giving Noel her seemingly undivided attention.
