---

Madoka Kaname has posed:
    Sundays are often easy days known for recreation or laziness and relaxation, especially for school children that do the right thing and finish all their homework on Saturday. Madoka Kaname usually tries to do what she thinks is the right thing, but this week she was a little lax in the homework department, and so that's exactly what she's doing, working on a difficult math assignment on a largish tablet; because actual paperwork is -so- three years ago, right?

    The choice of location for her homework is downright bizarre however, and not one she's ever actually done homework in before- the Midori-ya Cafe. It's not super busy right now but one would have to wonder why she'd chose a place full of distractions, especially the delicious kind sitting on a small paper plate next to her.

    That's because it's a known haunt for one of her friends, Hannah Sharpe, whom she's hoping to see and talk to but just baaaarely not enough to actually call and ask to meet up. Partly because one of the things she wants to talk about to the older girl is fairly embarrassing and she's not sure she even wants to talk about it -at all-, especially with all the rumors. The other is because the other reason is simply because she hasn't seen her friend in a while and wants to chat for it's own sake.

    Ever the self-underestimater she thinks this would be a bother or an annoyance, so here she is instead merely hoping to run into her where she knows her friend is likely to turn up on a comfortable Sunday morning, sitting at a table where she can easily see the door.

Hannah Sharpe has posed:
Our crafty Madoka-chan proves quite correct, as not fifteen minutes later does one Hannah Sharpe come walking in, Boris in the lead! With a bark, the Familiar greets the waitstaff, and soon enough, Hannah's at her favorite seat by a window. Curtains open, a coffee and donut in hand, she leans back in her seat and simply takes in the atmosphere of the Midori-ya on a quiet Sunday morning. Boris, as per usual, has snuggled up underneath the table like a proper laphusky!

So far, the duo hasn't seemed to notice poor Madoka, too engrosed in enjoying a nice, relaxing morning!

Haruna Kurosawa has posed:
Haruna Kurosawa has come in and plastered her nose against the case passing by everyone because it is early morning and she needs a breakfast cookie. Cookie Cookie Cookie~ She points to the one in the case. She gets two! Because Corvus-chan is with her!~ She peeks up over at the register. Buys. Pays. Also, buys milk.

She peeks over. "Hannah-chan!" she calls out.

She peeks over too. "Madoka-chan!~" she says.

"Madoka-chan and Hannah-chan! Hiii! Why don't we all sit at a table together. I bought myself a cookie." she insists.

She slides into Hannah's wonderful early morning sunlight seat. "Hannah-chan~" she says sitting next to her. "How are you?~" she says. "Is it a good morning?~" she peeks over at Madoka-chan! That's the idea!

Haruna doesn't ask thou.

Madoka Kaname has posed:
    It can be said that Madoka is a bit of a wallflower and doesn't tend to stick out. Especially when she gets too shy to actually call out to Hannah as she enters the cafe. This only builds when Hannah goes over and sits down in her usual spot, causing Madoka to flush with embarrassment when she realizes she really should have just gone and occupied that seat.

    This is where being an easy to miss wallflower actually comes in handy; no one turns eyes upon her as her cheeks redden. ...except Haruna is extra observant and had slipped in while Madoka was focused on a math problem, augh! Embarrassment revealed.

    Once the pinkness on her face dies down she shuts off her tablet, sticking it into her bookbag before picking up her treat and changing seats. "Good morning, Hannah-chan, Haruna-chan! Hi, Corvus-chan," she bends down a little, "Hi, Borris!"

    Having kinda-sorta been invited she slips into the seat across from Hannah and Haruna and quickly turns poor Hannah's quiet morning into a very busy and friend saturated one!

Hannah Sharpe has posed:
For a young woman so oddly perceptive despite her disability, it takes Hannah a moment to actually respond to Haruna as she enters! Both she and Boris look as though they've almost nodded off before a familiar voice hits her ears!

"Wuh!? Wah!? Huh?" Comes the girl in english, with all the coherency of the waking dead. Mumble mumble. She rubs her eyes, devours some coffee, and then focuses.

"Uh, hi! Who's...oh, Haruna-chan! Heeeey kiddo, sorry about that, this place is just so /nice/ sometimes!" Comes Hannah, grinning, but still audibly groggy.

It's not the first time she's fallen asleep in the Midori-ya after all!

Blink. "Wait, Madoka's here? You two know each other? Yeah, yeah, come on you two, sit down! The more the merrier! Scoot over Boris!"

Thus, it's time for some good natured ribbing!

"Jeeez, Madoka! You should've let me know! I'd have bought you breakfast or something! Or were you simply too entranced by the beauty of a sleeping maiden in this idlyic setting on a lovely Sunday morning?" Comes Hannah dramatically, hand to her chest and going all 'disney princess voice' on poor Madoka.

Boris woofs, displeased, and nips her ankle!

"Ow! Boris! You jerk, I wasn't doing anything bad!" Boris gives a satisfied woof.

Hannah chuckles a bit, her swagger thrown off.

"Good morning you guys. I'm great, if a little sleepy! All-nighters suck! How're you, Haruna, Madoka? Junko-san doing alright?" Really, she needs to visit that woman more. It's like having an older sister.

Haruna Kurosawa has posed:
Haruna Kurosawa blush---maiden!? Well. Maybe. She shakes her head and huffs. "Well....!" she huffs. "I asked that jerk on a date and he's kinda jerkish about it. He's like--some kind of smouldering hot jerk or something." she says crossing her arms. Then she noms the cookie which she moves her head over to nom. Nom. Corvus is on the table in front of her and eating the cookie.

She head tilts at Madoka-chan. "Oh! Right! Madoka-chan~ I have your notebook you left me!" she says. "Do you want it back?" she asks.

She looks back at Hannah-chan. "Yeah I know Madoka-chan~ She's nice! Also, she knows Corvus is a talking jerk."

Corvus chokes on his cookie.

"I mean a talking raven." she says.

She pauses.

"I hooked up my two friends! Thier super cute! I mean. One wasn't. My friend until that night and---and---the other is Katsu-chan...." she taps her chin. "Suzuki n' Katsu-chan! They're super cute!" she beams.

"And that was nice after the whole 'I screw up everything' punch spiking thing I did!" she beams. "I'm not allowed at the next three events!"

Madoka Kaname has posed:
    The ribbing may be light and playful but it hits in all the right teasing spots! Just as it was starting to abate Madoka is blushing again, lowering her head a little and looking meek. "It was nothing like that, Hannah-chan! I just wasn't sure if I'd be bothering you." You'd think she'd have thought of that -before- she gone and sought her out!

    She laughs a little at Boris' antics and reaches down to pet him under the table. There's a slight look of worry sent Hannah's way as 'all nighters' are mentioned, but she doesn't voice her concern since in this case she can't imagine it will do anything other than cause friction- the only times she's ever seen Hannah anything other than 110 percent driven have been in the hospital.

    "My mother is doing well! She hit a couple stumbling blocks, but was able to get past once she thought them over." This is said both with pride and confidence, but also as if it's the most normal thing in the world; she's not sure there's anything that could stop her mother if she's determined! "B-but when did you two get on first-name terms, Hannah-chan?!" It -is- a little strange for her to hear that. And a little worrying too- her mother having the inside track on all her embarrassing social life?!

    Wait, Madoka spills the beans on that regularly anyway. False alarm.

    She almost speaks up when Corvus is called a jerk, but Haruna corrects herself and so she doesn't feel the need to.

    "My notebook? You still have it? So that's where it was! Y-yes, please!" She says this a bit too urgently, and is downright peeking nervously at Hannah as she asks for it back. Maybe she'll get lucky and the blind girl won't care about her awful drawings.

    Then it's on to much more interesting and embarrassing topics, "You set up two of your friends -and- asked a boy out on a date?" She looks surprised and a bit in awe of Haruna. "I don't think I could ever be as bold as that. But it sounds like you're doing really well for yourself, Haruna-chan. I-" pause.

    Does she -actually- want to talk about that? "Ugh..." She makes a whiny, embarrassed noise and covers her face for a moment, before hanging her head a little, "You must have heard the rumors by now haven't you, Hannah-chan?"

Hannah Sharpe has posed:
Inner Hannah feels this gut-wrenching feeling as there was a mention of Riv-kun and Gull-chan shenanigans. Immediately she thinks of what Takashi told her. Ambush. Sigh.

Hannah's smile is a little odd. "Huh, I see. So did he actually accept? And where are you guys going? What's the plan on woo'ing him out of his jerkness?" That smile turns to a grin. Oh yes, meddling time is go!

She takes a moment to sip some coffee and feed some donut to Boris. The big dog then pops up from under the table, head appearing in Madoka's lap! Woof! Big blue husky eyes /beg/ for pets!

It's Hannah's turn to look a bit shocked!

"Wait...you mean Suzuki-chan is /dating/!?" There's utter amazement in her voice.

"Haruna. You are a /miracle worker of love/! Thank goodness, that girl needed it. It'll do her a lot of good I think. And who's this Katsu-chan? Is she a jerk!? I'll be real angry if she treats Suzuki-chan wrong! I need my study partner in one piece!" And her rival too!

Blink. Reeeeach. She'll reach up, and try to snatch Corvus by the neck gently, pulling the little bird close to 'peer' at him.

"Pidgeon-kun. Have you been corrupting Haruna?" She offers 'menacingly'. Pause whisper whisper.

"Whatever you're doing, keep doing it!" A wink, and a far more racoon-kun like tone, then he's deposited back down!

/Sigh/. Oh, Madoka!

"See, that's your problem, Madoka! You aren't assertive! Believe it or not, guys like a strong woman! Heck, look at your Mother! You're /adorable/, but you need to know when to stand up for yourself and just go for it!" Advises Hannah, pumping her fist in the air!

Hannah grins a bit. "I'm an American, Madoka. /Everybody/ is first name basis for me. Well, when I forget the local customs anyway. But I got her number during the hospital visit, we've been chatting a bit. She's an amazing woman! ...Though her late night texts are a little uhhh, jumbled."

Blink. Hannah's mind catches up. "You're an artist, Madoka?"

Nope, caught!

Suddenly, grins. "Oh, such as a certain /someone/ dancing with Agera-kun and causing a big kerfuffle, you mean? I hate to break it to you, but it's all over the school. I couldn't miss it if I wanted to. What're you going to do?"

Haruna Kurosawa has posed:
Haruna Kurosawa huffs!--- "W...Well I'm doing terrible for /myself/. But my friends are doing super good. I'm super happy about that!" she explains. She peeks at Hannah-chan. "I heard some black haired /girl/ stole Madoka away when she was dancing with a /boy/!" she says as she leans forward----"Madoka-chan...! Are you....in a love triangle?" she asks with wide eyes. It seems to be a serious question! There's /rumors/ to be investigated and Madoka-chan can reveal the TRUTH to her.

Corvus siiiiiiiiggggggghhhhhhhhssssssssssss. Then shoves a cookie into his mouth. He feels bad for Madoka-chan but he can't take away overwhelming senses of embarrassment that no human has ever actually died of yet as far as he can figure out.

"I mean that's one of the rumors..." she mutters.

Corvus-chan mutters to Hannah as he's scooped. "Procyon's /fault/." he mutters.

Hannah-chan grins and proceeds to proceeds to produce the book from Corvus's tailfeathers. Dimensional Mascot Pockets are weird. She beams! ere...!" she says placing it on the table. The Notebook it is. Hannah might grab it first before Madoka-chan if she wanted to. Probably.

She peeks at Hannah-chan. She huffs. "We have to go in stupid henshin cuz he's a jerk but I guess he has his reasons because he's also some sort of dark evil jerk. So it cuts the places. There's a burger guy I know there." she says. "Who knows about magical girls I guess. He makes the best double cheeseburgers!" she insists.

Madoka Kaname has posed:
    Boris gets a double head pet as he places his chin in Madoka's lap, head and cheeks getting all kerruffled and petted almost before he can even get the chance to beg! She also sneaks him the last bite of her treat because good doggy familiars deserve them as much as silver birdies.

    She doesn't know Suzuki so she merely has to take Hannah's word for it that it's a shock that she's dating, listening in intently at the names of people and their new romances. "I'm sure Haruna-chan wouldn't set up anyone with a jerk," she comments, only to immediately question it herself. She does claim to like a 'hot jerk' herself after all. Hm...

    Now it's time for Madoka's face to perpetually move between the shades of her hair and her ribbons. "I'm not even sure what happened! Or- I know what happened, but I have no idea why it happened." Then a small sigh, "I know. Mama is amazing, but I don't think I'll ever become as strong as she is." It's never been easy, measuring herself against such greatness.

    As for late night texts? She giggles, "That's because she's probably drunk with her coworkers!" Which is of course the most normal thing in the world to Madoka.

    Haruna wants the full story now and she quickly shakes her head vehemently, "What? No, I'm not in any kind of love triangle!" That she knows of. "Homura-chan is my friend not-" the thought of it actually causes her brain to shut down for a moment or two. "She's just very protective of me, in a lot of ways. She... cares a lot about whether or not I get hurt." She's seen the worry on her face; she knows this is true.

    It isn't like Madoka to merely whine, but in this situation she does. "I don't know what to doooo... Takashi-san was dancing with me, and he was saying that he noticed me right from the start, and that there was something special about me to him." Her cheeks turn red just thinking about it!

    "And then... he tried to kiss me..!" Scandalous! "That's when Homura-chan stepped in. She, um, dragged me away. Takashi-san was really upset, and I can see why. Homura-chan is afraid he's a jerk and would hurt me, but she was overreacting! And now the whole school knows and it's a huge mess."

    She gives a shake of her head, "The worst part is, I don't even know what to think about Takashi-san. The way he talked made me feel amazing, but I probably shouldn't have let him try to kiss me just because of that. But since I did..."

    With ~love troubles~ like these the notebook is would almost be an afterthought, but Madoka makes a grab for it, and fails, "Not an artist, but I am in Crafts Club..." The book is filled with drawings of all the Magical Girls and Magical Boys she's ever seen, complete with their outfits. They also have oddly round faces with black, soulless eyes. Really she just cheated and filled them in completely. Miss White and Cute Gull are certainly included! As are Riventon from back when Axion was incomplete and Kyouko on their own special page with the word 'Avoid!!' underlined twice.

    Also included is a picture of the pink haired girl herself with variations on an outfit for herself!

Hannah Sharpe has posed:
Hannah perks up!

"A /love triangle/! Wow, you're moving fast, Madoka! First kiss and everything!" Further ribs the girl, even as Boris is putting in Madoka's hand. He noms treat, by now practically stealing the small girl's lap!

A little fingerpat to Corvus!

"Well, keep her out of trouble, okay Pidgeon-kun?"

Sigh. Oh man, Takashi. Double-dating. And it's partially Hannah's fault.

"Well, just be careful, okay? You need to watch yourself around hot jerks! And don't let him lead you on or anything! Be assertive!"

Reeeach! Nosepoke!

"You can do it if you put your all into it, Madoka! Struggle! Fight! You'll find your way! As long as you give everything you have, with a little luck, all your dreams can come true!" For someone in Eclipse, she sure is motivated!

Then she's listening, taking in the story. Sigh.

"My best advice? First, you need to figure out whether or not you like him enough to date him. If you don't? Then be bold. Tell him he's not the one for you. But do it gently. Guys can be more fragile than they let on." Instantly, she thinks of Mamoru.

"And then you need to handle Homura. She'll probably tell you to keep away from him. And if you want to date him? Well, again, be assertive. Tell her why, and tell her to chill." Not that it'd /work/, but honestly Madoka needs to learn to stand up for herself. It's a thin rope Hannah's walking, knowing all that she does.

"Do what's best for you, Madoka-chan. But sometimes I wonder if there's someone real close to you that miiight warrant asking out on a date instead." A shrug. Seems prioritizing Madoka's safety is coming first today.

"Remind me, then, to pawn all my Art homework off on you! I'd have perfect grades if it weren't for that class!" Huff. Really, it's unfair.

Haruna Kurosawa has posed:
Haruna Kurosawa knows Takashi-san, vaugely, as the smart guy who tops score charts but that's it. She blushes. "Woah! It was him?! That's neat Madoka-chan! I bet he meant those words too!" she was with wide eyes. "That would had been so romantic-----" she thinks. That lovely decorated dance- a kiss in the spotlight......

She blinks blinks blinks!

She had peaked at Madoka's book and pondered a bit. Madoka wanted to be a magical girl it seems- but.. well. She wondered how one that wants that---does so? Ugh. UGH!

She looks at Hannah. "Anyways. Katsu-chan is a nice girl!" she says. "Suzuki-chan makes her happy, and Katsu-chan makes Suzu-chan happy!" she says. "--an--and! Katsu-chan is coming with me when w---I go to rescue my sister!" she says. "Even though she's risking her new happiness for mine..." she says weakly. "I can't tell you who---but she's a Pretty Cure like me. That's going to be dangerous...." she murmurs.

She's careful to try to change the 'we' to I earlier- she doesn't want to out Hannah-chan's ID n' stuff!.

She sighs and lays her head down.

"It'd be nice to meet a guy or girl who... was... ugh." she sighs a bit.

Madoka Kaname has posed:
    Madoka very quickly shakes her head, "No! Not first kiss. He didn't actually get the chance because Homura-chan stepped in before he could. I just... wasn't going to stop him. Maybe I should have?"

    Hannah gets to the crux of the issue very quickly, "That's the hardest part. I'm not sure what I want." She sighs and squirms in her seat, "I know that I -want- to like him, because the way I felt when he talked to me that way... I want to feel like that more." She blushes even more at Haruna's words, nodding her head slightly, "It was really romantic. There on the dance floor, with only a few people left. It felt like we had the whole place to ourselves. And he was there looking down at me and..." she trails off and for a moment is in her own little world.

    Back to reality! "B-but I don't actually know him very well at all and one of the friends I trust thinks I'll get hurt just by getting close to him."

    It's hard to be bold when you're indecisive and that's exactly the place she's at right now. "Hannah-chan, Haruna-chan? Do either of you know very much about Takashi-san? I know a lot of people think he's very smart, and that he's usually distant and... snobby?" Is that the right word? "But do either of you know anything else about him?" When unsure about boys, ask your friends opinion!

    Boris' head is continually covered in pets while she goes over her woes. She's starting to realize how Hitomi feels about all the boy attention, suddenly. And this is just -one- boy!

    She also gives a little blink before tilting her head at Hannah, "Someone real close to me?" Does Hannah mean someone specific, she wonders.

    Then a quick shake of her head, "I can try to help you, but you don't want me to do art homework for you, Hannah-chan! I only get good grades from effort."

    Madoka then reaches over and tries to pat one of Haruna's hands, or her head as it's laid down as sets it down. "I'm sure you'll meet someone, Haruna-san! If I can it means there's hope for anyone." She also gives her a more encouraging, bright smile. "Besides, since you've already helped Katsu-chan and Suzuki-chan... maybe they know someone you'd like? It wouldn't hurt to ask! And maybe you'll end up having a lot of fun with the 'hot jerk'?"

    A pause, "...probably not both, though. That would be very rude and not really romantic at all!"

Hannah Sharpe has posed:
A deep breath, and arms cross! "...I'll allow it then! I guess I'll have to meet this Katsu-chan if she's that nice! See if she's strong enough for Suzu-chan!" Nod nod. Someone help poor Katsu, she is doomed.

Hannah then grins to Haruna. "Good luck, Haruna-chan!" Is all she says. Even though she knows both /know/, best to not overcomplicate matters by outing herself in front of both.

Reeeeach. Pat pat pat poor Haruna. "You keep an eye out, Madoka's right, you'll find someone! In the meantime, I'll take you out to dinner some time, okay?" Grin!

Hannah looks dissappointed. "Aww, no stealing first kisses! Boooooo!" Not the point, Hannah-chan!

"Well, that's good, but you need to make sure you're romancing someone you...well, actually want to romance! So take your time, get to know him, that sort of thing before...and I know this is going to sound weird coming from me...rushing into anything."

Smile. "Eh, we worked on a project in class or two! Yeah, a little snobby, but he can actually be a nice guy sometimes. Of course that might just be me poking the good out of him relentlessly when we did that project. He can be hard to get a read on." Time to protect Ta-kun's identity!

Sigh. Hannah facepalms.

"You're adorable, Madoka-chan, but sometimes I wonder who the real blind one is out of the two of us." Blunt, as ever.

"In all seriousness, I could use the help. It's a /pain/! Last time I tried to make a clay pot I burnt my hands when I put it in the oven!"

Why is Hannah suddenly sighing at the mention of two-timing?

Haruna Kurosawa has posed:
Haruna Kurosawa huffs! "Well..of course! I'm not a two timer!" she quickly snaps at Madoka! "I mean. I'm not...saying you called me that but!----I'd never play games with someone's heart!" she huffs loudly. She peeks at Madoka-chan.

"That does sound super romantic thou. I can see why you'd get caught up in the moment...." she says dreamingly. She smilllllles sleepily.

She blinks blinks.

"I bet he'd be nice once he gets to know you Madoka-chan! Do you need help! I can send Corvus or Procyon to go try to learn stuff about him!" she says.

Uh oh. Hannah's gonna wanna nip this one in the bud and fast.

Madoka Kaname has posed:
    Madoka nods her head after considering for a moment, "I think you're right. Right now I think it would be best to get to know him better. I don't think I'm really ready to rush into something like kissing so quickly anyway." Some parts of America really bounced off her poor, naive skull, didn't they?

    'Snobby but can actually be nice' really does fit what she knows about Takashi so far, so she stores Hannah's opinion away. It's definitely a far cry from Homura's! "If you're on another project with him keep trying to poke the good out of him for my sake, Hannah-chan," she comments in a half serious, half playful voice.

    Woosh! That's the sound of Hannah's blunt comment flying right over her head.

    A sudden fast headshake, "I didn't mean it like that, Haruna-chan! Of course you should have your date first, and if it doesn't work out ask your friends. You don't seem like the type to hurt people just to have a bit of extra fun."

    A very quick shake of her head, "N-no! Don't do anything like that, Haruna-chan. I don't want to spy on him, that'd make me feel awful. I think I just need to spend more time with him?"

Hannah Sharpe has posed:
Hannah crosses her arms. "I'll do better than that! I'll /tickle/ it out of him until he can't breathe!"

Poor, poor Takashi.

Her comment goes wide. Right into the bleachers wide. There's a look to Haruna stealthily. Can she /really/ be that dense?

Hannah reaches over, and then just pats Madoka's head. Silly, silly Madoka.

Blink. Oh /god/!

"Whoa whoa, yeah, what Madoka said! Don't do that Haruna-chan! that will lead to trouble, I can smell it! He'll probably lose his house keys, then his lab projects will explode, and just a bad time for everyone. Plus spying's just evil! Don't do it!"

Haruna Kurosawa has posed:
Haruna Kurosawa huffs! "Well fine. And yeah. Procyon likes to steal keys. And notebooks. He steals notebooks!" she says pointed at Madoka. "But keys usually. Someday, Corvus will eat him and devour his FELL annoyance power." she insists whispering lowly to Corvus. Corvus is still eating a giant cookie. He rolls his eyes.

"I mean not really, that'd be silly~" she beams!

She sighs and crosses her arms. "At least he isn't in earshot. I'd know because he just appears when I say his name otherwise~" she teases and beams.

"Oh! Hannah! I got the room all setup! There's two beds and divider and stuff! Corvus and Procyon helped me out. Madoka-chan came to visit, too!" she beams.

Madoka Kaname has posed:
    Madoka gets patted on the head, not really knowing what to think. But then suddenly she's glad to have her friend backing her up in telling Haruna how bad of an idea Fairy Stalking really is. Something tells her Takashi is not the type of person who would take that kind of thing very well, anyway.

    There's another giggle as Haruna jokes about Corvus devouring Procyon and absorbing his powers. Finally her cheeks are starting to turn a more normal color.

    At the renewed mention of notebooks she quickly reaches over and picks hers up off the table, hugging it lightly to herself. She really is self conscious about it!

    "Haruna-chan told me the other day about going to rescue her sister. I hope everything goes well. I'll be thinking about everyone and wishing for the best for everyone when you go!" Naturally she can't name Hannah directly, since she doesn't know about Cure Gull and Ms. White's connections.

    Kyubey must also be somewhere else right now or he might have stuck his head up at hearing 'wishing'.

Hannah Sharpe has posed:
Facepalm. "You're a very, very...interesting person, Haruna-chan. And I love you for it." Then why is she facepalming!?

Then Hannah's smiling. "Really? Great! Next time I come over, you need to show me! Oh, uh, and remind me later to introduce you to a friend of a friend. Can help get around the little 'my sister was legally dead for two years' bit." She's suddenly looking /way suspicious/.

Ahem! She listens to Madoka, and sips her coffee. Only to almost choke on it as she utters that magic (literally) word!

Cough hack choke!

"D...No need to go around doing something as foolish as 'wishing', Madoka. There's no wish involved. Haruna and her friends are strong. They /will/ get her sister back. I'd bet cash money on it!" There's a reassuring smile over to Haruna. And a wink, too!

Haruna Kurosawa has posed:
Haruna Kurosawa head tilts and merfs. "Okay...?" she says softly at Hannah-chan. Suspicious!? Hannah!? Noooooooooo!

Okay she totally gets that. Hannah-chan can be a mystery jerkess sometimes.

"Oh yeah. Madoka-chan knows I'm a magical girl." she sips her milk and the cookie is gone.

She blushes a little and looks down. "I'm afraid...really. I mean. Not even. The saving my sister. I know we're going to---I mean. I hope..." she says.

"But... what if--- what if Aki's upset with me if she gets back..." she mumbles.

Madoka Kaname has posed:
    Madoka wants to hide her face in her hands again when she realizes her mistake, but manages not to this time. "I'm sorry! I didn't mean it like that. I just meant that I'd be thinking of her and her friends and hoping for the best." Though it -does- make her pause and think for a moment. Saving someone's sister would be a worthy cause, right? Judging from Hannah's reaction not enough of one, though.

    She smiles to Haruna and reaches over across the table, trying to take one of her hands. "Your sister is a magical girl too, right Haruna-chan? I may not have met her, but I don't think you have anything to worry about. It takes a lot to put your life on the line and fight for others. Not everyone has what it takes to live a life like that..." she's thinking of herself a little right then, admittedly, "but you do! And not only that, you're going to go protect her and rescue her! She'll understand, Haruna-chan. Actually I think she'll not just understand, but be very proud of you for who you've become!"

Hannah Sharpe has posed:
Hannah's smiling /way/ too broadly as Haruna catches the jerk-ness. She only jerks at people because she loves them!

A deep sigh. "Good, because this was getting /really/ awkward to keep up pretenses. Full disclosure, both of you guys know who I am too. Deep breath, Haruna-chan. With a bunch of Pre-Cure and a jerk like me along, we can't /lose/!" She might be underestimating Phantom a bit here.

/Oh/. Hannah doesn't know what to say at first, but then Madoka to the rescue. She leans back, smiles, and nods.

"See? Our dear friend here knows. It will be okay. I am going to cook you guys one heck of a dinner once we get her out of there!"

Haruna Kurosawa has posed:
Haruna Kurosawa beams! "Well. She knows Corvus talks. Then I transformed to get a cake for Yuko-chan. And also---I used my PreCards to sneak in as a nurse cuz they wouldn't lemme into Yuko-chan's room." she whispers conspiraority to the two. "And she met Procyon for a little bit and didn't freakout at his weird projectyness." she says softly.

"Procyon is kinda antsy...Blue-sama is having trouble figuring out how to free him that doesn't------"

She sort of bites her lips. "Well a way that doesn't involve finding a host priestess and using soul release. You know how that went, right?" she asks softly at Hannah-chan as she takes a deep breath.

"I just. Haven't seen her for two years. I'm not the shy loner anymore I guess.... I dunno..." she says softly. "I worry a lot okay!?" she asks suddenly and loud.

Madoka Kaname has posed:
    Madoka looks between Hannah and Haruna and lets out a sigh of relief as the beans of who knows who is what are officially spilled. "It's a little confusing trying to remember all of this stuff. I'm glad you two know each other! You're both friends of mine, so it's nice." She wonders for a moment if Haruna and Homura know about each other too. It's too bad she didn't have a name that started with H too! ...but then she isn't actually a magical girl, is she?

    She smiles brightly then, "Hannah-chan's cooking is really good. That'll be a great way to welcome your sister back home!" Just so long as Hannah doesn't end up in the hospital and unable to actually cook... "...maybe you should think of making it ahead of time and warming it up after, Hannah-chan?" What?! It's a legitimate worry!

    Unable to offer any advice on things like magic tablets and releasing souls she focuses on what she can. "It's okay to worry, Haruna-chan. You've changed a lot, and maybe she'll be sad she didn't get to see you change herself, but if she's upset I think that's what it'd be about, not because of who you are now."

Haruna Kurosawa has posed:
Haruna Kurosawa erfs..."Actually..she probably. Won't even be awake when I rescue her. Not for a bit. I mean....." she looks down. "She's been trapped in a mirror in some freaky dimension..." she mumbles. "I'm taking her to the hospital." she says. "Tsukasa is ready if we succeed with a fake news story and everything that she was found in a coma and just woke up and told the doctors who she was and everything. Because-- well. Someone coming back from the dead is weird...." she mumbles... her eyes go SUPER wide though...

"Hannah... is Ao-chan getting better? Is she fully well now?" she asks concernedly. "I---need to bother her more often." she admits. "She's a friend too...you know? Just. I feel bad. I don't wanna drag youma to her doorstep by accident."

Hannah Sharpe has posed:
Hannah tilts her head. "Man, spiking punch, sneaking into people's hospital rooms! You're becoming a proper delinquent Haruna-chan! I /knew/ you had it in you!" She says it with such enjoyment, as though she's proud of Gull-chan! Given who this is coming from, it might not be the best compliment in the world.

Wince.

"Yeeeah, I'd rather not see a repeat of that. Let me know if I can help. I like the little guy. And I want to study him anyway." Pause.

"Don't worry. Not like with the, uh..." Another pause, she looks to Madoka.

NEW TOPIC!

"Madoka, are you really saying I should do anything less than greet her sister with a home cooked meal? I mean, why would I need to..." Third pause. Blink.

"Okay, fine, you might have a point there."

Sigh. Sometimes, Madoka can be perceptive, too.

Hannah piles on.

"I still say she's going to be proud of you, Haruna-chan!"

Then she nods a bit. "Hey, look at it like this: you'll be the first thing she sees when she wakes up." Be positive, Haruna!

"And yeah, you're a worrywart! Confidence! Cornerstone of being a magical girl!" And lasers. And punching.

It's Hannah's turn to deflate. "Well, she's not actively getting worse any more. And she can walk this week. The source of it all's gone, and after that Doll did...something to her, she's not technically sick. But given how long she's been suffering..." A sigh, and then there's a frustrated grunt from the girl.

"All of this magic, and I can't even fix my best friend." Mutters Hannah in pure self-loathing, teeth grit in anger.

Haruna Kurosawa has posed:
Haruna Kurosawa nods. "Yup! I'm pretty much gluing myself to that hospital bed when i get her there." she says. "---and...I want my friends there too! I want her...to see all my friends that helped me!" she says. That's kinda impossible. Not ALL her friends. Hospital rooms are small. "But---you---and... um...." ugh what names does she use. "Tuxedo Kamen, All my Cure friends, The Sensi...." she blushes. "I want her to know it wasn't alone at all-- even if these people didn't help me save her---they did help me...."

"It's going to be really weird..I.. was. I was in early 7th grade when she died..." she looks down. "Now I'm in 9th and as old as she was when she went away. Blue-sama said she might not had aged, or aged slowly. Magic that traps you is weird." she says frustratedly. "Of course she could had aged, too--so that'd put her... in 11th grade. I think." she says. "But she might not be the older sister anymore and that'd be silly.. hehehe~" she says.

She looks at Hannah and looks down. "I wish I could help...." she says softly. "You helped me a lot and I can't even help you with your friend...."

Madoka Kaname has posed:
    "I guess it's not so bad so long as nobody gets hurt," Madoka says quietly in response to being a delinquent. She actually doesn't think there's anything wrong at all with seeing friends in the hospital; she's seen herself just how much help a friendly face can be!

    Then a small smile as Hannah realizes what she means. She won't say it out loud, but she really hopes that Haruna's sister is the only person who ends up -in- a hospital bed. She's seen the aftermath of enough magical fights to know how often they end in serious injury. Luckily magical people tend to heal quite a bit faster than you'd otherwise expect, but still...

    She also looks sad when Hannah talks about Ao, not quite sure what can be done. There is, as ever, something she could do personally but it's something that would get all kinds of anger sent her way. Unlike earlier she doesn't even consider it here, since she already had before.

Hannah Sharpe has posed:
Hannah can't help but smile. "We'll have a little party. A quiet one though!" Gotta let her sister get some rest, after all.

"You'll figure it out. No matter what age, she's still your sister after all!"

She looks to both girls, and manages a smile.

"Some things even magic can't solve, I guess. Well. Not without a ton of it." For a moment, she's intensely jealous of the girl sitting right next to her. All that magic and talent. If she had even a third of that, she could work wonders.

Finally, she just walks over, and hugs the two.

"Thanks. My Dad is taking her to therapy today. We'll do what we can for her."

Riiing! Riiing!

"Yo! Oh, hey Ao-chan! Was just talking about you! Oh, don't you worry, I spilled all your dirty little secrets like how you have a crush on that pop boy band lead si..." Grin.

"I can hear you blushing! I'll be over soon with Dad. Give me twenty."

Blip. "Speak of the devil. I gotta run you two! Thanks for hanging out and keeping me awake! C'mon Boris!" With a wave, she jogs out the door after paying!

She snuck in enough for the two girls' orders too, the cheeky girl!
