Finding out that others had been approached by the white ferret-like creature named Qubus had been a bit of a surprise to Hotaru. And not so much because it was improbable as it was the fact that she knew of them from school, though she had never really personally interacted with any of them. Regardless, there wasn't much conversation on the way up the staircase to the roof of the building; everyone seemed to be focused on having their wish granted and what it would all entail.

When the group stepped onto the roof, the first thing each of them noticed was the girl with long black hair and wearing a strange school uniform sitting on the edge of the roof, apparently having been staring out over the city before she turned to the group. The purple gem in her hand glittered softly in the light, which made it rather easy to notice. The blue-haired girl with them asked if she was Qubus, which, while Hotaru doubted it, could theoretically be possible. If the ferret could grant wishes, who was to say that he couldn't shapeshift as well?

Any possibility of the girl being Qubus in a different form was struck down as she called them all fools, causing Hotaru to frown. The girl with the green hair, Nora if Hotaru remembered correctly, seemed to find it rather amusing, falling to her knees in a fit of laughter before turning the comment back onto the girl wearing the purple clothes. Kaede, the other girl in their group, seemed to take courage from Nora's response, adding onto it before asking where Qubus was. Yami, the only boy in their group, had so far remained quiet, which honestly wasn't all that unusual of him according to what Hotaru had heard of him.

While Hotaru didn't support the comments or reactions of the taller girls in the group, she also understood that they weren't unwarranted. The girl in purple had started it after all, with her less than friendly demeanor and calling them fools. “Are you going to explain why we're fools, or are you just going to leave us wondering?” she asked, stepping forward so as to draw the girl's attention. “If not, then you might as well leave. There's no point in trying to convince us to give up our wishes when you have no reason for us to do so.”
