Nadeshiko smiled and nodded. "Well yes, but if you can see the charas, surely that means you will have one of your own soon. And we can help you learn what you need to know while you're here."
"So you don't almost stop believing in her like Amu did," Miki said softly.
NAdeshiko nodded. "But she believes now. In you, and in herself."
"Who believes in who?" Yaya asked, racing up the walk to snag her usual seat, launching herself into it and throwing her fists up when she nails the landing. "YEAH!" she cheered. Her little baby chara cheered with her.
Nadeshiko gave her a loving smile and chuckled. "We were talking about Amu."
"Why are we talking about Amu?" Kukai asked, walking up with Tadase, their charas floating over head.
Amu, bringing up the rear, apparently unnoticed by the boys who had stopped to ask their questions, asked one of her own "Why wouldn't I be, exactly?"
Where Yaya's uniform matched Nadeshiko, though less neat and with Mary Janes, the boys wore the blue plaid version, still with the capelets. Amu however.... everything about how she wore her uniform said "attitude issues". Unlike the others, she had no capes, HEr skirt was pulled down lower on one side than the other, her blazer was more open than closed, her shirt untucked, her tie half undone, which showed off the lock she wore on a chain around her neck. Instead of the cape she had a single blood red solid armband safety pinned to her jacket. Even how she stood, now that she wasn't in the weird transformation outfit or party clothes or a bulky jacket made her stand out. Then again, how each of them stood said a lot. Nadeshiko stood with perfect posture, but her hands behind her back when she wasn't serving, head canted slightly. Tadease stood straight, but like he was forcing himself to. Kukai had the look of someone who was lounged on a sofa, even when he was standing, hands behind his head and now that he wasn't walking, one foot propped up behind the other. Yaya was the only one sitting and she was bouncing like a kid. Amu on the other hand hand her bag held in one hand over her shoulder, hip cocked, with her other hand on it, head tilted.
"Oh, Amu-chan, Sorry, Sohma-kun was just talking about you."
Amu's eyes narrowed a bit and she flipped some hair off her shoulder. "Why, exactly?" she asked, voice cool.
Ran bounced out of Amu's bag, giggling a bit as she waved Miki over, but he stayed with Marinette to keep translating.
Nadeshiko smiled at all of them. "We have a lot to get through today, so I made the tea a little extra sweet. Because our guest is from France I tried my hand at some french desserts today, but we also have some sandwiches. We may have to double up to fit everything in today, but I'm sure that after our new friend leaves, the charas can help Amu train so that Kukai can help with the paperwork."
Everyone made their way to their seats, except NAdeshiko who busied herself pouring tea.

"Is hinomori-san alright?" Tadase asked, concerned.
