Honestly? Shinde couldn't exactly know everything about Miroru's circumstances. They met before when Miroru was still in the academy, they talked a bit together, and they were friends. They've met here and there, probably more often when she came to visit the Uchiha compound. If not for her, then for her sister, or the other connections Shinde looked to make with other clans. They hugged, held hands, and were pretty friendly before, so Shinde never really did see behind the metaphorical mask when it came down to her insecurities and doubts. Frankly? She tried to make the situation better, but it seemed like things were getting kinda worse. Miroru seemed to enter a meltdown that she really couldn't get or understand.
Yet? She didn't get to say much of anything else, because before long? Azarea showed up. Looking menacing, blood thirsty, and frankly, threatening Shinde's life in the next moment. "What the hell's your problem? I'm just trying to smooth a debate with a friend! The hell are you threatening me for? Who even are you?" Shinde didn't advance forward, but instead looked at how Azarea more or less looked at her as if she was a piece of shit, and evidently wanted to kill her, what with that bloodthirsty intent. Needless to say? It was a bit of a fucking whiplash. Where if any proctor or observer of the examinations were about? They'd probably best intervene after a death threat like that was launched.
Considering Shinde was deemed as a "threat", instead of de-escalating or really mediating the situation, the instinct one would suppose was to threaten her, and build the tension. Of which of course made Shinde feel threatened, because well, she was. "Deadly force?" Shinde would have Shunshined right then and there and fucking kicked Azarea straight in the face, curbstomping her throat into the floor if she wasn't a calmer and collected kind of person. Considering she was pretty much sidelined, and faced with several fucking emotional outbursts and people threatening her today? She was pretty mentally exasperated. Pretty bad fucking day today. Especially considering she didn't really know who Azarea even was.
"You drop that dirty look. I don't know you, and you don't know me. You don't even know the context of the conversation." She glared back in turn, prepared to defend herself if need be. Frankly. If there were any sensors about other than Azarea and Itsuki, they probably were rushing here to mediate the matter. "So before you go about threatening me with "lethal force", think about what you're implying."
