Why is Kyouko angry? She's angry at Kyuubey because Kyuubey's a monster. She's angry at Mami because Mami's weakness for fuzzy creatures and friendship is what left her open to be hurt. She's angry at herself because she wasn't there for Mami and feels guilty for leaving. And she's angry at us for bringing her bad news. I'm making some educated guesses here, but I'm definitely confident enough to tell Yuma that we suspect that Kyouko is angry at Kyuubey. The anger at Mami and herself are things that we shouldn't bring up because they're personal and we don't know Kyouko and Yuma well enough at a social level yet. But the anger at Kyuubey doesn't reveal any personal issues; also it's an anger that we share and it's an explanation that should satisfy Yuma.
Put another way?

Oh Sabrina, you'll never learn how to have a normal conversation, will you?
 
No, Sabrina. In fact, you may be surprised to find out that normal people often go for days, even weeks without hugging someone or accidentally breaking people.
Ordinarily, this statement would be accompanied by a scare chord or something suitably 'Twilight Zone'.

Since that's being saved for in the event things go sour in the coming update, the budget is tight and so we're gonna have to just pipe in Spanish Flea instead.
 
Could we also ask Kyouko sometime if there are any other magical girls in the area?
As someone pointed out some time ago, it's strange that Kyouko can't find enough witches to hunt for herself and Yuma in Kasamino, if there aren't any other magical girls competing for them.

[x] Cannongerbil
 
Sure. We can ask that before leaving. Just a reminder so that we don't forget to ask later.
If there are other magical girls around and we still have time before lunch, we can contact them after the meeting with Kyouko is finished.

[X] To Yuma: Mami is my mentor and she was also Kyouko's mentor. They had a falling out a while ago, but I hope that they can be friends again eventually. I can't say for sure, but I suspect that Kyouko is angry for the same reason that I'm angry: Kyuubey hurt our friend.
[X] Ask Yuma how she has been doing and how she likes her new magical powers. It's a good thing to talk about and it should distract Kyouko a bit.
[X] Tell them that we've been experimenting with grief seeds and found that we can pull out more grief from it so that it can last a lot longer.
-[X] Warn of the danger of putting clear seeds near normal witch seeds.
-[X] Ask if they would be willing to test one for us.
--[X] If they accept, remind them that it is experimental and ask them to contact us immediately if they notice anything odd about the clear seed.
--[X] Say that we'd like to come back in a few days to check on them.
[X] Inform them about the end of the Sendai conflict.
-[X] Including the 3:2 grief seed exchange.
--[X] We need more grief seeds for experimentation. As long as the clear seeds work out, offer to trade partially full grief seeds in exchange for clear seeds at a rate of 3:2.
[X] Ask about any other magical girls in Kasamino.
[X] To Kyouko: Just in case you didn't know already...a Walpurgisnacht is going to hit Mitakihara in about three weeks. I'm not here to try and recruit you for it-especially because you have Yuma to look after-but since it might still cause a lot of damage, I thought you should know.

[X] Reply to Yuma that Mami's someone Kyouko once knew, but anything beyond that's more Kyouko's story to tell than ours . . . and that we're not entirely sure what's got Kyouko angry at the moment.
[X] Mention to Kyouko that the Sendai situation's gotten wrapped-up.
-[X] If she asks, say that you got involved, there was some fighting that you really wish hadn't happened, and while it overall went much worse than you'd wanted it all ended up mostly alright, and best of all no prolonged fight incoming.

[X] Offer to Kyouko, via telepathy: I get that you're not too fond of the idea of 'something for nothing', or at least it seems that way, so how about this? In exchange for the services I'm offering, you get to beat me over the head now and again.
-[X] From there, explain that your powerset might make you a bit broken in some respects, but that some recent events -- like Sendai -- have given you a bit of perspective on your non-Griefy business . . . and that you frankly suck at it. So, if Kyouko's willing to help un-suck our combat skills, then we could use that as a deal if she wants one.
--[X] Offer a Grief Seed as a down-payment on the combat lessons if need be.
-[X] Make it clear that we'd honestly prefer to just offer our services for free, and even if she'd rather not train us she's more than welcome to call upon us for it completely free (if we offered the seed, say she can keep it), but that we're offering this deal because the past couple times we've offered it free she's seemed not-too-thrilled by it.

Since it is the one that offers a clear seed.

Plain offering full grief seed rubs me the wrong way very much. Though at least Baroque's makes the trade offer.
 
You know looking how thing's are going, I've just realized that Sabrina might be one of the few characters I've seen that could count as both the team mom, and the teams Cloudcuckoolander.
