"Oh, is it tough to make something like that? Sorry, I don't know a lot about that fashion stuff… If West was here, he might know more…"

As the speech was coming to an end most of the people slowly moved toward the starting line, and the two schools' teams that had gathered fairly closely to listen in on Elric and Eria's conversation now separated again.
As the speaker finally went quiet, Elric took the chance to finally direct Eria away from her seduction tactics.
