Mana hesitated when the door was opened, and in that hesitation, she was pulled in by Lady Miki.  "Uhm, w-well..."  She fidgeted, her eyes avoiding Lady Miki's.  She felt so...<em>embarrassed</em>.  "Y-you see, I..."  She swallowed.  "I-it just felt so lonely in my room all by myself, and..."  Her hesitation started falling away here, and she was speaking without thought.  "...and I know I'm not supposed to do anything but adjust tonight, but I don't want to do just that, I want to do something else, I asked the girl who delivered my meal and I asked her to stay to watch me perform but she couldn't because she told me that she was on deck and I was just sitting there and I was just feeling so alone and...and...and...!"  She sounded half-hysterical by this point.
