Ryūko seemed surprised at how Asuka offered her hand. "With all due respect, Hanazono-senpai," she said, her tone somewhat formal, "I'd rather not hold hands. Someone might think bad of you." True, her hands were rough, but everyone at Claymore tended to. Even now some of her classmates still called her the "Toast Girl". She didn't mind it, but Asuka had a reputation to uphold.
