[Sumi can't say she doesn't understand that though, so she nods, her expression serious.] Alright, I promise. I won't even tell Akira-senpai or Akechi-senpai. [She makes a 'sealing her lips' motion and mimes throwing away the key.
However, she takes Kotone's request completely seriously, hands balling into fists in front of her]
Yes, Kotone-senpai! I'll be the best student you've ever had!
[Gosh, she's cute. Are all first-years this cute? Fuuka was this cute, except when she was cooking. But when she was working on machines she was definitely this cute!
Kotone laughs, almost about to refuse but-- no, this is funnier. She can be senpai if Violet really wants.]
Just that? Don't worry, with me as your coach, soon you'll be able to do-- [Sumi laughs and hops down off the hay, and kicking her leg up well above her head, grabbing the arch of her foot.
She then bends entirely backwards to plant her free hand behind her, lifting herself up and over to land back on her feet and throw her hands up in a 'ta-dah!' pose]
That! Soon that'll be easy-peasy for you! [She might be teasing Kotone though as she laughs, walking back over] You'll be able to bend like a pretzel by the time I'm done with you!
[There's a Gleam in her eye... Danger approaches...]
[Kotone's jaw drops. She just- put her leg up? All the way up there?? The human body can do that?!]
You must've put in a lot of work to be able to do that! [she says when she can manage to find the words, eyes wide with astonishment. Wow! Just. Wow!!] I didn't do anything like that in tennis! I was mostly just there to hang out with my friend, anyway.
[But! She hops gamely off the bale, clenching both fists in front of her. Maybe danger, but she wants to get to know Violet, and engaging in her interests seems to be the best way to do it.]

Alright! Well, what do you want to learn first?
no subject
Oh! Um... Hm. Well, I haven't played many sports before, besides gymnastics. Maybe you could teach me something you know?
no subject
[Oh, she wasn't expecting that... is Violet the Chariot? Kotone blinks, then shrugs and nods.]
Yeah, sure! I was in the Tennis Club in school. In exchange, can you show me some gymnastics? I want to be able to bend like-
[She sticks her legs straight out in front of her and bends down as if trying to touch her toes. She makes it partway there, at least!]

Alright! How should we start?
