Rukia does actually wait for Renji to give her the go ahead, but once he does? That biscuit goes from on the counter to half eaten in a hurry. No take backs! She whips around as Renji goes running past. She squints, but takes off after him. "Shit, are we that late?" she asks around the half a biscuit still in her mouth.
They are. It's clear from how few kids they see as they run to town. It's mostly just adults and kids too little to be Reaped milling around now, and even they're mostly heading for the square. Great. Rukia finishes the biscuit as she runs-- she's no stranger to eating and running. She had to do a lot of that before she found Renji and they learned to feed themselves.
It's a good thing she's finished eating by the time they skid into line to be checked and sent into the square. There's barely anyone still waiting. The woman jabbing fingers is the same one that really hates Rukia for some reason (probably icky poor cooties or something). She's the reason Rukia has to wear her hair in a dumb little ponytail. The woman sniffs disdainfully at her, jabs her finger with more force than necessary, and boredly tells her to fuck off. Maybe not quite in those words, but that's what she's saying.
Rukia nods at Renji and makes her way over to the girls' side of the square. It's her last year, so she's in the back. At least she won't have to look at Trinket's stupid face. Now where the hell is everybody? Rukia has to stretch up on tiptoe, but she does finally catch a glimpse of Lichfield's dumb red hair. Good.
