[Natsuru maybe got through three quarters of her sentence before she fully turned to face the latest person to cross her path. Maria looks pretty different when dressed up so traditionally, yet it still takes Natsuru practically zero time to recognize her god and gasp in surprise. Maria came to see her show too?! She'd been too nervous to actually tell her when Hibiki planned to debut her, and eventually figured she'd missed her chance to invite the other most important person she wanted to see any performance she put on. But she still came!
There's a moment of awkward, flustered stammering before Natsuru finally manages to speak in actual words.]
Th-Thank you...
Um... I'm really glad you came to see it!
[Despite her nerves, her smile is bright and genuine. If Maria says she did a good job, she can absolutely believe it. It makes her feel like she really could do this more often!]
