Let's see here...Kurumi looked down at her feet until she stood on the plaque that said December and planted her feet firmly together and made herself as straight as possible. Okay, so now she looked straight ahead and searched for her shadow out of the corner of her eyes, trying not to move her head too much.

Beezus, hey," she smiled with a small wave, stepping off the 12 month plaques and onto the grass. "
You mean this? A simply human sundial. Thought it would be nice to have a second sundial based guesstimate for this homework assignment before referring to a pocket watch."
Finally finding her sundial now, Kurumi had herself all turned around due to Beezus' arrival, so out the wand came again. "
Point Me." Now facing North once more, Kurumi held the handheld sundial out so that it caught the light best and made the proper adjustments before squinting at it to make a reading. "
11:30?" she said, blinking in confusion. How was that possible? Even if they were a bit off from each other...they shouldn't be off by an entire hour...
