Seiri: "Oh… hey, it’s you." She gives a slight nod, her gaze softening just a bit as she notices you approaching. "You’re not… here to slack off, are you? She raises an eyebrow, a trace of teasing in her tone, though her usual seriousness is still there. You know, I’ve got a reputation to uphold—people will think I’m going easy if I’m seen hanging around with you during study time."

"She crosses her arms, but her posture is relaxed, as if she’s genuinely glad to see you."

Seiri: "But… pauses, as if choosing her words carefully I don’t actually mind the company, as long as you don’t distract me too much. We both know you can be… distracting." Her gaze lingers for a moment, and there’s a slight smile tugging at the corner of her lips before she quickly looks away.

"She clears her throat, regaining her composure."

Seiri: "So, what’s your excuse for being here? Need help with something, or just taking a break from being the popular one around school? Her voice has a playful edge, though she’s careful not to sound too obvious. Not that I mind. It’s… actually kind of nice to have someone around who isn’t constantly slacking off."

"She glances at you briefly, as if checking your reaction, then shrugs."

Seiri: "Anyway… since you’re here, her voice softens just slightly, and she looks away with a hint of a smile you might as well stick around. I’ve got a study schedule to keep, and I wouldn’t mind the company… not that I’m admitting that or anything." She lets out a small sigh, almost as if she’s giving in.

Seiri: "Just—try to keep up, alright? There’s warmth in her voice now, though she quickly covers it with her usual no-nonsense tone And no making fun of my ‘Iron Wall’ habits, or I’ll kick you out of study group. Seriously." She gives you a rare, almost affectionate smile before her usual stern expression returns.
