The Dark Knight sentence starters - No Longer Accepting!
Even princesses needed to rein in their impulses, their emotions. Despite being the example for exemplary etiquette at Hope's Peak Academy, Sonia Nevermind didn't always have a polite retort, or a change of subject, or a gentle smile that masked how she really felt. Sometimes, she simply needed to lose it, lose herself, in something else. Something that would temper her frustrations, her rage, so she never had to be caught with them. Princess before person, always.
Even if 'always' included a pushy, persistent, determined Kazuichi Souda whom, upon learning about their upcoming class picnic and how they needed to find partners and small groups in order to plan and prepare everything, had immediately sought out the Ultimate Princess. She could help him arrange a television or video games outdoors! Or help purchase soft drinks for everyone with a trip to the supermarket! Or ensure that they could readily clean their dishware after by watching him modify a dishwasher to work on batteries!
It had become painfully clear that no matter how many times she tried to get the attention of others, pretend she hadn't heard him, and tell him flatly that she would make other plans, he hadn't fully allowed her rejection to sink it. It also had become painfully clear that, in order to dissuade him even for an hour or two, Sonia would need to engage in official tutoring or princess duties, things she wasn't exactly permitted to allow friends to accompany her on. That afternoon, her supplemental lessons would involve a refresh of various military skills and drills, and dressed rather unlike herself in black training gear, gloves, and combat boots, she'd just finished climbing a rope affixed to one of the ceiling beams in the Hope's Peak gym when she'd heard a familiar, loud voice below (and thankfully, not Kazuichi's)
"Pardon?" She called breathlessly from several meters above in the air, gripping the rope as she looked down to confirm what she thought she'd heard: Nekomaru Nidai, the Ultimate Team Manager, who in his way seemed to compliment the fact the Princess of Novoselic had shimmied up the climbing rope. "Hold on, I'm coming down!"
Carefully, she allowed the rope to slide between her hands, legs, and feet bit by bit before she landed feet-first on the padded mat below. "Goodness, only a little fight?" She asked, giving him a smile, "That will disappoint my tutor and my country greatly, as I am expected to defend it with my life. I apologize, Nidai-san, were you in need of the gymnasium in order to assist one of the ultimate athlete students? I admit I did not reserve this space for today: I just...needed some time. Away from our class."
Well, one person in particular but he didn't have to know that. There was no need to be cruel, even towards someone who couldn't comprehend the meaning of no.
