Natsuru

[declamando]

[[From here.]]

[By this point, Maria's quite used to Natsuru taking a moment to stop flustering enough to speak to her, so she waits with a slight smile for the moment to pass. Some things never change, she supposes.

It's nice to hear that Natsuru's so pleased with the fact she came to watch, though, and her smile becomes wider and more genuine with the remark.]

I was passing by and noticed Hibiki had things set up for a show. I suspected she might be taking the chance to introduce her agency at such a major event...given my own is doing the same at Obon. It took me a little while to find your stage, but I'm glad I did.

[Given Natsuru still seems a little on the nervy side, though, she has to ask:] Did you enjoy yourself?

[thirdbeauty]

Oh! You are?!

[Those nerves practically melt away, forgotten in the thrill of being told Maria's agency was going to be putting on a performance at Obon. Even if their agencies are rivals, Natsuru admires Maria far too much to not want to see her perform!]

I can't wait to see it!

[Her excitement just bubbling over is quite a change in demeanor all of a sudden. Those nerves come back a little bit now, but the excitement and happiness doesn't completely go away.]

Ah... yeah. It was a little scary, but it was fun too.

[She fidgets nervously, and yet still looks particularly pleased that she'd at least made it through the whole show. She hopes the audience felt her excitement, too... and not her apprehension.]

[declamando]

[There's a grateful smile from Maria at Natsuru's excitement - it's nice to know that even being in rival agencies hasn't damaged their relationship, and she really is looking forward to the performance herself as well.] We are, yes, we thought it might be a good way to bring people together. I'm not sure whether Hibiki knows already, but if she doesn't... [Maria gives an amused little wink and presses a finger to her lips.] ...I think it would make a nice surprise, don't you?

[Given how intent Hibiki seems to be on having Maria as a rival, regardless of whether she already knows or not, she doubts she'd begrudge Natsuru not telling her if it surprised her with a spectacular performance from Maria. And she does plan to ensure it's spectacular.

Letting her hand drop once more, her smile returns from mischievous back to genuine.]

I'm happy to hear it. I think it could really help your confidence, and you deserve that.
