With an amused grin she said in a friendly tone, that was shocking to Selina because she was so upset that Kurumi was late, "You. Are. Late."
Then the gravity of those words sunk into Selina's skin and her grin subsided a little bit, "Yeah, you're late. Why are you late? You don't see your friend for nearly two months and you take your good old sweet time. What's with that Hollingberry?" Now her arms were crossed and her face translated- answer that for me.
Kurumi felt like she had just gone through a whiplash of emotions. First Selina was happy to see her and now she looked as though she had just insulted her flying skills.
"
I...I...I got lost..." she said feebly, kicking at a stone aimlessly. "
I-I didn't know that there was a carnival going on. Diagon Alley is at least fifty times busier than usual. That, and I got caught up with a man wearing all black and white with a white painted face who got me stuck in an invisible box." At least, the way he had been moving around her made it seem like she was stuck in a box. "
But, I'm here now. That's the important thing, right? It's not like I stood you up or anything."
Nope, Kurumi wasn't that sort of person.
"
OH! I have something for you," she smiled, hoping that her cheerful persona would make Selina's face look less like an angry troll and more like a happy kneazle. "
In America, they have semi-professional Quidditch leagues. I managed to get to one match and I bought you this t-shirt," she explained handing over the white t-shirt with a
red logo on it. "
I also got you these," she continued, pulling out a
medium sized box from her bag and handing them to her best friend.
