She ran right into Minako before she could leave.

Elizabeth was just about free of the classroom. Just a few more steps and she'd have slipped away into the hall.

"Elizabeth?"

And just like that, the enigmatic woman found herself face-to-face with Minako. The one person that could compromise her plans to enjoy the human world for an entire day had managed to bump right into Elizabeth, though the eccentric blonde didn't let her frustration show.

"Hello, Arisato. How are you today?" Elizabeth said, a small smile on her face.

"Uh, I'm fine, but... what are you doing here?" Minako said.

"I'm attending school, of course. What does it look like I'm doing?" Elizabeth answered.

"Does Igor know you're here? I thought you were only allowed to leave if I was with you."

Arisato was right. Elizabeth was breaking the rules by leaving the Velvet Room without Igor's permission. However, the Master was out at the moment, and what he didn't know wouldn't hurt him. Arisato didn't understand the nature of time in the Velvet Room, simply assuming that Igor was always sitting at that table, hands crossed under his long nose. In fact, Igor was a very busy man, and was often attending to matters in other places, appearing for the brief periods Minako entered the Velvet Room as needed. Assuming Arisato didn't need the Velvet Room's services today, Igor could very well be gone for hours yet.

"I... am not. But the Master doesn't have to know about this. I just wished to enjoy your world for a day. Is that truly so much to ask?" Elizabeth said, hoping Arisato would see reason and allow Elizabeth to enjoy her day.

Minako was quiet for a moment, clearly thinking about what to do. Finally, the Wild Card opened her mouth to speak. "Okay. You've made your point...-"
