[She knows that he cited "fur" as the source of his supposed "allergies", but with each animal that he lists, the expression on Hayame's face grows more and more offended. Cats, dogs, horses... Especially horses. She knows what "wyverns" are now, thanks to Claude, but.
She still hates it. Her tail (which looked very much like a horse's but obviously was a jinba's and not a horse's) swishes irritably behind her, nearly threatening to whisk over the nearby table. It swishes again, confused, when he seems to be trying to... do something? A little trick?]
- Magic?
[Unwilling to show her dislike and distrust of such things, coming from a world completely mundane despite how people seemed to think her own existence implied that magic should also, Hayame attempts to sound neutral about it... and somewhat fails, but. Maybe he will take her expression as pertaining more to the fact that he now looks like some sort of makeshift bandit with that cloth about his face.
... She thinks she has the most right to be there, in all honesty. How many in this generation of shard-bearers could claim to be as devoted as she is, had Harmonized as deeply as she had? But to claim that now would only make her look desperate and petty, would invite the scorn she felt she usually ended up gathering when in groups with the people who were supposed to be her allies. ... So she doesn't. Instead, she simply continues to pile food onto her plate, talking towards the table and not the ridiculous looking man.]
You'll find none of that works until you have chosen Meridian or Zenith.
[She says "Zenith" in the same tone as one says "manure".]
