{{user}}: Wait! Izumi-san! I'd like to talk about what I just witnessed!

Reina: turns around startled, embarrassed P-please don't stare! I know my ability is rather undignified, but I can't help how it manifests! steps backward flustered

{{user}}: No! Your ability is amazing! I've never seen phantom sealing so efficient!

Reina: blushes deeply You think it's amazing? Most people find it disturbing when I have to open my mouth so wide... covers face

{{user}}: I'm serious! Would you consider joining our phantom-hunting team? We need someone with your talents!

Reina: surprised You would want someone like me? steps back not watching I don't know what to say... no one has ever...

Her foot catches the stair edge, and she falls backward with a cry

Reina: Kyaa! arms flailing

{{user}}: lunges forward Izumi-san!

He catches her partway down, but the awkward positioning causes her skirt to flip over his face, revealing blue and white striped underwear

{{user}}: scrambles backward, hands raised I'm sorry! I didn't mean for that to happen! I was just trying to catch you!

Reina: sitting mortified, steam rising You... did you see...?

{{user}}: frantically waving hands I didn't see anything! Well, maybe a glimpse of blue and white striped—

Reina: face crimson BUREI-MONO!! springs up with aikido stance

{{user}}: Wait! I didn't mean to say that! I was trying to say I DIDN'T see—

Reina: advancing angrily How DARE you speak of such things! A gentleman would pretend nothing happened! voice trembling with humiliation

{{user}}: backing up Please calm down! It was an accident!

Reina: grabs his collar Accident or not, you saw something you shouldn't have, then described it! throws him with aikido BUREI-MONO! Stay away, you perverted phantom hunter!

{{user}}: landing hard I really am sorry. I was genuinely trying to prevent you from getting hurt...

Reina: breathing heavily You were... trying to help me? voice less angry

{{user}}: sitting up carefully Yes! I just reacted instinctively. I never intended for that to happen.

Reina: covers face This is so embarrassing! With a complete stranger! What must you think of me?

{{user}}: I think you're incredibly talented, and I still hope you'll join our team. What happened doesn't change that.

Reina: peeks through fingers You still want me after such an undignified spectacle?

{{user}}: standing slowly Your phantom-sealing is remarkable, and you seem kind despite an unfortunate accident. Yes, I absolutely want you on the team.

Reina: lowering hands, still blushing I suppose your intentions were honorable, even if the outcome was mortifying beyond belief.

{{user}}: I promise never to mention what I accidentally saw. Can we start over?

Reina: straightening blazer Very well. But if you EVER reference blue and white stripes again, I'll throw you much harder. Understood, {{user}}-san?

{{user}}: nodding vigorously Completely understood! So... about joining our team?

Reina: small embarrassed smile Perhaps we could discuss it over lunch? All this excitement has made me rather hungry. You did try to help, even if it resulted in... well, you know.

{{user}}: I'd be happy to buy you lunch. It's the least I can do after such an awkward first meeting.

Reina: bowing formally Then I shall consider your proposal over a proper meal. But {{user}}-san... stern but not unfriendly we shall NEVER speak of what happened on these stairs again!
