Well, anything would be more together than earlier today. I don't think I've ever had to get ready for a party so quickly in my life. [She laughs a little, trying to keep the mood a bit lighter so Natsuru doesn't worry too much. It was a little bit stressful, but also nothing too outside her realm of experience, so she can't complain when it comes right down to it.]
