Daisuke Hansuke has posed:
Daisuke Hansuke had things on his mind. Saturday was what he specified as his 'only if nessacry' day with many of the chairities he worked for-- emergencies or prior arrangement only. Since no one called, he decided he'd walk down to the pier and walk to the end of it and lean over the edge with his shoulders and sighhhhs something loudly as he stared at the waves.

He was dressed not in his usual school uniform, but a light purple colored suit with white accents around the front and white undershirt. No tie. It matched his hair. It had a light jacket and maybe Daisuke just liked dressing well--- this was probably 'casual' to him.

He held his phone in his hand as he peeked at it every so often out of the corner of his eye. He wasn't waiting for anythign specific. Also. There was some sort of dancing cat background as his wallpaper so maybe he found that amusing at the moment as he seemed to be in some sort of serious thinking otherwise.

Naru Osaka has posed:
Saturdays are often lazy days for Naru, and they provide a day out of school uniform, to get all the way to a skirt and a wrap tob, rather than her uniform. Not so different, really. She has her school bag with her, even for not being a school day, as she roams down the boardwalk. She keeps trying to keep her hair out of her face, as the breeze captures tendrils out of her hairband.

Naru spots Daisuke lingering at the edge, watching the waves and she hesitates only a moment before lifting a hand to wave at him. If he's looking her way at all.

Daisuke Hansuke has posed:
Daisuke Hansuke doesn't see Naru immediatly, it's when he peeks at his phone next that he sees the waving motion in the background and he peeks over. Oh! It's Osaka-san! He leans up and places his phone back into a pocket within that jacket he's wearing and waves back with a slight smile.

It isn't as bright and obvious as it usually is, though Naru may not have known Daisuke long enough to realize this or not.

"Hello, Osaka-san! How are you? Are you you feeling well?" he asks- just a hint of concern, but confidence that the answer will be a resounding 'yes'.

"Out here to enjoy the rest of the day?" he asks as he turns back to the water. "Had to get away from anything green and leafy for a bit. All the way out here seemed like a good idea. Unless the 'jerk' controlls seaweed, too." he snerks.

Naru Osaka has posed:
Oddly enough, Daisuke has never been in a particularly brilliant smile sort of mood when Naru has met him previously. Exam stress and vine obnoxious do not make for brilliant smile moments.

Naru does smile as she comes closer. "I didn't expect to see you here, but it's a lovely surprise. I'm fine, how are you?" She looks him over just a touch, to confirm that he's not the half dead of everyone else she knows.

"I..well.. I have to admit.. I haven't been back to the park." Naru admits a little sheepishly. "I wanted something different to draw, but the idea of being far from green and leafy factored in, certainly."

Daisuke Hansuke has posed:
Daisuke Hansuke turns back and nods. "Well there's a nice skyline off the shore of the harbor there." he says. "Or you can draw passing ships. Or maybe down the pier itself. Lots of things to draw out here." he says softly.

Daisuke looks healthy. Not ultra tired. He's standing up straight and not straining. He looks about a little worried about something. That's about it.

"Yeah." he says. "It's nicer out here to get away from some plants. Past here is sand. Past that is concrete. Maybe a few beach weeds, that's it." he says.

"Not out here though." he says.

"There was a situation the other day. I think I did something silly despite my gut telling me otherwise. I know no ones holding it against me though." he says. "But other than that, I can't complain." he says.

Naru Osaka has posed:
"Is it the sort of silly thing that you are willing to talk about?" Naru asks as she comes to lean where he is, to be able to watch the water. "I don't think I thanked you properly for healing me. I was fairly out of it by that point. I hadn't realized you were a healer."

Naru watches the water a little while, the ships going by, floating leisurely on the light breeze.

Daisuke Hansuke has posed:
Daisuke Hansuke looks down then back up. "My other name, you may hear Kunzite call me, is 'Asclepius'." he says. "I don't know if I'm the same from whatever Greek Mythology insists, but I do know I'm able to call on a staff in the similar make as the one that graces hospitals and other places of medicine." he says.

"I heal. It's what I do." he smiles. "I can't fight- like the others." he says.

"Well." he kind of rubs the back of his head. "They brought Fiore back to Mamoru's place... asked me to heal him. I help with that." he says. "So of course things seem bad now. Because he was taken away and now he's back out there being a danger again, probably." he sighs grimly.

"But." he says. "Even if he's the enemy. I can't just let someone die like that. Not in that manner. Bleeding out, on someone's floor. Crying." he says as closes his eyes.

"That's wrong. It's wrong." he says.

Naru Osaka has posed:
"I heard it." Naru confirms and then she glances to him and admits with a rueful little look. "But I couldn't remember it. Things were fairly hazy by that point, but I do remember bits and pieces. It was exhaustion hazy, rather than mind messing hazy, which is always a bonus."

Naru speaks with quiet confidence on the different flavours of being roughed up, as if its a fairly normal thing to have experience with.

"Is that what happened to the carpet?" Naru asks with a quirk of her head and then a little frown before she nods. "If I could, I think I would have as well. So, I don't think that's silly. He's not entirely him, which doesn't help. Possessed, or mind controlled, or something." She reaches a hand out, to touch his arm.

Daisuke Hansuke has posed:
Daisuke Hansuke does get a slight smile with a short snort. "Milkeshake guy." he says. "Is what you called me first, I guess I really AM that bad when I get nervous. Right now I'm not nervous though, which is why I'm not not trying to give myself early onset diabetes right now as hard as I can." he smirks.

He sighs a bit and shakes his head as he runs a hand through his hair a bit. "Yeah. He's like being controlled. Or brainwashed. Sadly- my healing can't handle such things." he says curtly.

He crosses his arms. "You seem caught up in all these things. But you don't seem to... um..."

"Well." he says. "Be able to transform or have magic?" he asks. "I bet this must be confusing as hell for you. I remember what it was like for me. Dreams. Seeing faces you feel you should know, but don't. Feeling the stab in your heart when something dark attacks for the first time." he shakes his head.

Naru Osaka has posed:
"You really were that bad about exams." Naru smiles, her voice gently teasing. "But other than I expect your stomach protesting, now and then isn't /so/ bad, right? I thought it was kinda amusing."

Naru lets him speculate a little and then she shakes her head when he comes to the accurate assumption that she can't transform or anything. "I'm normal and boring, and yes.. I also know what's going on. Mostly. I mean. Not /everything/, there's a whole lot of everything I don't know. I end up with a lot of questions." She quirks her head at him, thoughtful. "Have you had your powers for long?"

Daisuke Hansuke has posed:
Daisuke Hansuke says. "A little less than a year. About... a year ago I felt like I was missing something in my life? Started seeking ways to fill it. Tried the material route- things... started dating around-- wondered if that was missing.... nothing worked. I found an old staff in an archive box in Verone's Donated Collection of items that I was asked to inventory. I touched it. I blacked out. Started having dreams then." he says.

"Met people who seemed familar despite never meeting them-- Mamoru and friends." he says. "Started feeling like I was starting to fill that missing spot slowly the more I did things and learned. Did a lot of stupid things. Did a lot of brave things." he says.

"You know Naru, I think there's ways you can 'get magic'." he says. "For lack of a better term. 'Awakened' , 'Empowered' I've heard other terms. But I'm pretty sure people will shoot me if I go into details with you, specfically-- and I don't know a whole lot personally. Some I wouldn't recommened even if I know them." he says.

Naru Osaka has posed:
"So.. you were a bit of both. Choice and chosen." Naru muses on that, her voice thoughtful. She smiles and nods. "I have options, if I wanted to take them. I don't, at the moment. Endy and I sat and discussed a few of them, and a few that he rather advised against, if I did want to make the choice."

"I mean, the possibility exists that I won't actually have a choice. Usagi and Endy and that crew didn't have a choice." Naru watches the water a little while longer. "Athough it feels sort of selfish to not want to be able help properly."

Daisuke Hansuke has posed:
Daisuke Hansuke crosses his arms. "Right. Mamoru's gonna be your best advisor I think. He has a LOT of connections. If anyone can get you in with the right crowd, it's gonna be him, but you could also end up having something thrust upon you someday. I've seen and heard that before- and hey, for all we know- right you have your own secret legacy or something that'll come up eventually." he shrugs.

He smiles. "Hey. You listen to us it seems and don't look at us like we're crazy- like we're experincing some delusion like some others do, so that's helping." he smirks.

"But I know what that feeling is like. I'm not a fighter. I can project a little energy- but it's like the equivlant of a mosquito bite to many of these things. Not powerful. I can only hang back and either make sure they get out alive or heal them afterwards."

"Kind of like a white mage in a video game, really." he smirks a little. "Back row and everrrrything." he sighs.

Naru Osaka has posed:
"I'm doing a bit of my own research currently." Naru explains a little, turning towards him and then she laughs a little. "Endy knows everyone. I've accused him of knowing everyone in Tokyo before, I'm not far off, I don't think."

Naru giggles softly. "I got kidnapped and went to the Dark Kingdom and that apparently messed with me enough that I started remembering the odd things." She winks at him. "After the Dark Kingdom visit, oddly enough, no one seems crazy. No more crazy than aything else."

There's a little wrinkle of her nose and Naru points out. "You're useful, even in the back row. I usually have a front row seat, because I'm tangled in vines, mind controlled or kidnapped. Or being babysat soemwhere far away to keep me out of the way."

Daisuke Hansuke has posed:
Daisuke Hansuke raises a brow. "...I see." he says with some concern. "I didn't recently go to the Dark Kingdom. Wether 'past me' was there or not before I don't quite remember. I stayed behind when everyone went to the North Pole there because I'd had been a liability. That and I was better served here trying to save people from whatever the hell happened." he mutters.

"Yeah. I'm useful. Just not in a fight." he smirks. "I make sure people survive those fights so they save people again." he says.

He brushes his bangs a bit again. A nervous tick or a thinking tick it seems. "Hey..." he asks. "How do you feel about animals?" he asks softly.
