>Marigold may be a little on the unusual side, but you suspect her reserved and polite manner of speech may simply be a personal idiosyncracy moreso than anything else. If she keeps that pattern of speech as she grows, it'll actually serve her well in some of the more reserved, conservative parts of Yamato. Assuming she wants to stay in the country, of course. After a few minutes, though, Marigold announces that she is hungry, and that lunch will be served shortly. Not that hungry yet yourself, you and Rin take this as a cue to depart.
>The streets are fairly quiet when you leave the CRA, not a whole lot of traffic on the go in this part of the city. The street performer whom you saw on the way in has left, leaving five young women sitting with the backs against the building, with very satisfied looks on their faces.
