Noticing the shadow off to her left, she slowly turned her head and looked at her shadow. 12:30...about? That made sense considering that she had eaten lunch a little earlier than usual and come straight here. Only one way to be sure...well, two ways, but she would only use one of them right now.

Kurumi bent down again and rummaged through her bag for the sundial when...

Woah, why was Beezus going into a panic attack over some rocks being laid out? Most of them had already been in the student garden anyway. The lioness had simply...made a few additions. It wasn't like she had cut down a tree or anything. "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...
A 12 month whaaaat? She didn't knew about that. But then again, the girl knew way more, more than her. "Errr--I see." She nodded as she surveyed the plagues. There were indeed 12 of them. But what she did not know was how to use it. Maybe it was best to ask from an older student? "How does it work then?" Beezus asked as she placed her own sundial, nocturnal and backpack on the ground.

Then Kurumi was using her wand as a direction pointer. Why was she seemingly pinpointing a certain direction? Wasn't the light of the sun enough to make the sundial work? That was what Beezus knew. Yet she was always open to new ideas. And perhaps the Prefect's technique would help her finish their homework easier and faster. But she was still confused. So here goes another query. "Kurumi..I thought sundials only require the light of the sun. Why are you looking for a direction?" Or was her knowledge about using the instrument not enough?
