"Though that might actually be one of the classes they teach in English, now that I think of it."

"If it isn't, and it's too easy, I suppose I can still try to put it in Japanese."

Nod nod.

"I am a little bit nervous about, ummmmm.  There will be a lot of children at once?"

"Yes. About thirty of them."

"Ummmmmmm.  Is, umm.  Is Haru a little strange?"

"He's a little strange, yes. I'm not sure what sort of strangeness in particular you've noticed."

"He just doesn't seem like what people have told me that other children are like, and that could be wrong but if he's strange then I'm worried that being around so many normal children will not be okay for me."

"He's brighter and more serious and more introverted than most kids."

"If I have to bear indignities I will be ummmm.  I'm really scared of it."

"...bear indignities?"

"Like, umm, if they insult me or pull my hair or touch me when I don't say they can, or yell near me, or get substances on my clothes, and things."

"They shouldn't do those things, and nobody likes having those things happen, but it's the sort of thing that might happen sometimes, when you're in school, and it makes sense to be anxious about it if you're used to tutoring instead."

"....And I must go to school?  I have to?"

"I... don't see how else you'd get an education, and it's already a bit irregular to have you home on Wednesdays when I'll be at work because of your sleep situation."

"I understand, Swan-san."  This is good practice for bearing things with grace.

"If you do wind up having problems with another student then you can go to your teacher about it, and if your teacher doesn't understand I can talk to them for you."

"Thank you, Swan-san."

"Of course, kiddo."

If that's enough clothes - the uniforms won't arrive for a bit, they have to order them - they can head back to the apartment.

This is also good practice for being called things she doesn't want to be.  Yes it would be nice to be back - home?  Home.  (Even if they're going to be in a new one very shortly.)

"The clothes of mine that you're done with should go in the hamper on the left," Haru tells her when she comes in, glancing up from Japanese Harry Potter.

"Yes, Haru.  Swan-san, may I change right away or do these need to be laundered first?"

"Should be fine right away!"

Okay, then she will put on REAL CLOTHES (and do with her previous ones as instructed).

Ren gets a text, and sighs and sets about packing up some things she doesn't trust the movers with.
