---

Haruna Kurosawa has posed:
"Whatcha working on 'Runa-chan~" asks Aki. "A hairclip." Haruna says. Aki huhs. "Lots of time working on one..." she says. Haruna huffs. "It's special! Besides I made a bunch and they're in Yuko-chan's store already and aren't you going to be late for your first night there!?" she asks.

Aki blinks. "OH! RIGHT!" she suddenly gets dressed in a panic and runs out the door quickly and out onto Infinity Campus and off she goes!

Haruna spends the rest of her time finishing it up and smiles. "Whatcha think Corvus?" she asks. Because Corvus isn't going to work with Aki of course. He gives an 'A-ok!' sign with his right wing while he eats a donut. "I'mma gonna stay home today and play games."

She smiles. "Okay!" she says.

** NOT TOO LONG AFTER! **

Haruna arrives nervously at Hannah's door and knocks.

"It's me..."

She says.

"Haruna-chan~" she says teasingly. Yes she calls herself '-chan' and she has a light tease in her voice so she's being silly.

Hopefully, Hannah doesn't mind a visit. She should be home now. Right?

Oh what if she's at work!

Maybe she should start calling beforehand.

...hrrrrrrrm.

Hannah Sharpe has posed:
Shhhh! Skrrk skrrk skrrk! Hannah whistles as she towels off and chucks on a bath robe, the sound of the door and a familiar voice penetrating the bathroom door!

"Boris! Door please!" Arf! The Familiar's barking can easily be heard as paws wrangle the door open. There's a look around, and the husky gives a doggie grin once he's sure everyone's out of sight!

"Ah! Is Green Kitten! Come in!" Comes the familiar in that thick russian accent. Hannah is out into the living room, and calls out!

"Haruna-chan! Oh man, you've got good timing! Work and school were rough! Come on in, can I get you anything?" Comes Hannah, brushing back her now only damp hair, before seeking out a Haruna-based hug! Cue a smooch!

Then after a lingering moment, it's over to the couch.

"How are you? Your sis settling in well?"

Haruna Kurosawa has posed:
Haruna Kurosawa ohs! "Um no I had some stuff to eat before coming over!" she says with a smile and Boris-kun gets lots of pets. "Hello Boris-kun, how are you~ I should start bringing things for you, too~" she says. "But I didn't today, I'm sorry." she says. Now she made herself feel bad, just for a second.

Oh, Hannah was in the shower! Erf, blush! She hopes she didn't come in at a bad time! Well she doesn't seem upset at least--also a smooch! EVEN further of a blush! So Hannah gets a cheek smooch back~

She sits down. "I needed some company." she says. "I mean.... Aki's settling in good! She got a job at Miniami-Mart!---and..." she says. "Oh right- um, I started. Making some.. hairclips..like mine..." she mumbles. "And selling them..." she says.

"Oh! Right. I collect the feathers myself. Um. Not farming Corvus for feathers~" she insists.

Hannah Sharpe has posed:
Pets! Boris wags his tail and merfs!

"Will forgive this time! Bring steak!"

Hannah rolls her eyes, before hugging! Once they're on the couch, she perks up.

"Hey, you're always welcome over! Though I'd recommend calling. Work." Shrug. Both brows rise. "Oh-ho, becoming an entrepeneur, eh? Hmm...think I'd look good with one? I'm not usually one for accessories, but, for you I'd buy one~." Grin! Encouragement, go!

A few nods. "Good to hear. Poor Yuko always seems swamped, and I think the work will take her mind off of things. ...And hopefully ending up with less me being punched." She rubs the back of her head awkwardly.

"Anyway! Glad things are going well. Anything I can do for you guys?"

Haruna Kurosawa has posed:
Haruna Kurosawa grins at Boris. "A T-bone even!" she insists.

She head tilts. "Being punched?" she asks curiously. Wait. Does Hannah know Yuko is Boost-chan!? But talk about punching does reminder her about something, she'll ask that first. "I wanna--you know. Tryout for the kickboxing team and all, even though I don't really know much about it. I figure you can teach me?" she asks with wide eyes hopefully!

"Oh..um, you don't need to buy one--cuz..uh..."

She kind of reaches into her pocket and unwraps the paper and produces the hairclip! It's green! An emerald green like Hannah's wind magic- that seems to have been what she was aiming for, the feathers are tiered upwards along the hairclip, and dyed the same green with some white streaks to the grain. It has some decorate accenting along the base in what appears to be gold-plated wire. She beams.

"I spent all day on this one today!" she says. "I just finished it before I came over! It's why I came over... wanted to make something special for you~ Because... well.. anyone can buy someone somethin... right? But... no one's going to have one like this, right?~" she beams.

Hannah Sharpe has posed:
Nod nod! "Aki hits hard, even if she's not the quickest!" Seems Yuko's secret is safe!

Slowly, Hannah grins wide!

"Funny you say that! We have tryouts this thursday! You up for a crash course? You're talented. I wouldn't have hired you if you weren't. So I think you can learn fast enough to make it onto the team." Comes the girl with more than a little confidence!

Eyes widen a bit, Boris lets out an arf of amazement! It's beautiful! Hannah reaches out to take it, feeling it over gently. She's speechless for a moment.

"...Haruna...you...you really went to all of this effort, just for me?"

She bites her lip, feeling it over, and then puts it in her hair! At a nice, jaunty angle, too!

"What do you think?" She asks, trying to not let the sniffles come. And fails miserably, before pulling her right into a hug! Yoink! Cuddles time!

"I love it! You...on jeez, now I'm embarrassed!" Squeeeeze!

Her head buries into Haruna's shoulder! "I love it! Thank you so much!"

Haruna Kurosawa has posed:
Haruna Kurosawa gets hugged! and snuggled and this is a nice happy feeling!~

This is kinda how she wished she could feel those two years in her dorm.

It's nice!

"Yeah...I did, but it's worth it--it looks pretty! You uhm. Don't need to wear it if you don't want to, but---uhm..." yeah now she's blushy and just hugging Hannah for a bit.

Then she's quiet. Then she pats Hannah's back.

Then she sweatdrops and looks over to Boris and then blushes some more.

"Hey---um. What if... /I/ cook something for us...!" she says...

"...do you have an actual kitchenette in here?" she asks.

Hannah Sharpe has posed:
So warm! A tiring done has swiftly gone to amazing, with Haruna's presence, and Boris soon occupying the spot beneath the couch!

"I'm wearing it~!" Comes Hannah, nodding to herself! It's pretty, and made by someone close, how could she not!?

Blink. "Yup! I'd love to taste your cooking, Haruna!"

As it turns out, the kitchen is well stocked: oven, microwave, pots and pans! There's some beef, a few sauces, and other things in the fridge! Most of Hannah's cooking seems to be of the home kind, alongside a few soups for lazy days! She finally relinquishes Haruna!

Haruna Kurosawa has posed:
Haruna Kurosawa is led to the kitchenette, then Hannah leaves her then she peeks around. Let's see. Beef. Huh. Lots of beef, actually. She pulls out what appears to be a steak and spins the package around. In truth... Haruna isn't that good of a cook. But also, Hannah always is cooking for her when she comes over so now Haruna wants to cook for Hannah. Luckily--- Haruna isn't a /comically/ bad cook- just-- a mediocre one.

So she looks at the sauces... and finds something she assumes is brown gravy. She tugs it out. Opens it sniffs. Okay so it isn't terribly off tomato sauce! Good! Wait- why would she think Hannah's that bad at fridge hygeine? Anyways.

She gets some rice and---um...

There's like no vegetables in here. She peeks into the cupboard.

Canned Vegetables!? Really!? Ugh it'll have to do. She picks um.. Green beans and--- um... hrm. Carrots. Yeah.

Beef gets cut and fried! Rice gets cooked, gravy gets simmered and cans of vegetables get strained and shoved into the gravy and stirred. Spices.... uh...

... salt and pepper.

She doesn't know how to use the other ones.

Maybe she should learn....

....wait was she supposed to pound or season the beef!? Ugh...

It is a store bought steak though, so maybe not.

The peeks at the meat. Hannah seems like someone who likes thier meat at least medium rare- that's how they do it in America. Right? She saw that in a movie once! Okay that's done. Gravy goes into the beef she sniffs. Okay. Not horrid. a little bland---

Some more salt and pepper! That's better!

Oh--! The Rice! Of course she can cook rice good. She lives in Japan. The rice is tender. Good! Two plates. Tinier plate. Rice. Rice. Smaller rice. Beef/Gravy mixture on each plate. Why the smaller plate!? Because Boris eat's too, right!?

She balances the smaller plate on the edge of heres. "I Call this uh....."

"...Beef al' Gull...?" she says questioningly with a smile. She offers the plate. "Oh--right Boris-kun~" she says placing the smaller plate on the ground at the edge of the couch, since he's under there.

It's a good attempt! Not perfect. But edible. Not comically bad. At least Hannah shouldn't be needing to find a way to politely dump it into a nearby plant.

Hannah Sharpe has posed:
Hannah is patient, even if she peeks in occasionally to sniff out the goods! Stealth Hanners go! There's also a doggie head peeking in, only for both to skitter 'sneakily' back to the couch.

Beef, rice, brown gravy. Hannah might be a good cook, but she's not a picky one! The young woman is grinning as it's presented, and is on it about a second after Boris is!

Ahem! Just a taste, and Hannah nods. "Mmm! I declare this dish fit for the Sharpe household." Comes the girl with a wink and a swat to the back in thanks!

"Could use a little garlic and some more pepper, maybe some cayenne, but it's still pretty good! If you want, I'll teach you cooking too, Haruna!" she offers, before clasping her hands and saying prayers after a glare to a gluttonous boris!

"Amen!" Then, she's chomping right down!

Haruna Kurosawa has posed:
Haruna Kurosawa seems to head tilt as Hannah gives 'prayers'. She's not familar with this custom. In fact she's already started eating before she stops mid fork to mouth because---um. She suddenly feels awkward and impolite.

She never really thought that over before and now she feels all rude n' stuff.. "A-h--sorry..." she manages to squeak out as she begins eating only when Hannah does.

She peeks down at Boris. She grins. "Well...as long as you both like it and---sure...!" she says.

"I can learn how to cook! I um.. been mostly just putting stuff over rice... when I did cook...really and--- takeout... cuz.. that's what's easy mostly." she says softly.

"But...there's all sorts of crazy takeout around here!" she says. "Like did you know you can get turtle soup!?" she says.

"I didn't even know you could eat that until a year ago!" she says softly.

"Yeah--I um. Just stuck to salt and pepper..." she mumbles.

Hannah Sharpe has posed:
At least Hannah doesn't seem too upset! "Er, uh...sorry! No, my fault. My family always says their prayers before dinner, I keep forgetting it's strange in Japan. I need to get you over to meet them some time." She adds offhandedly. Nom!

Boris' opinion is well documented, by just how the plate is already gone and big blue eyes are peering at Haruna's plate.

"Don't even think about it, fluffy." Comes a certain magical girl. Boris whines.

Hannah nods in between bites.

"You did the rice well, that's for sure! Please, turtle soup? Have you ever had squirrel soup? Dad made some when I was young, though usually he went for deer. I think he secretly wanted a son." She laughs, though there's a tinge of sadness to it. She never could give her father those moments, due to her blindness.

"To be fair, that's usually a safe bet until you know who you're cooking for. For me, spicier the better! What do you like, Haruna?"

Haruna Kurosawa has posed:
Haruna Kurosawa is eating happily. Of course she likes her own cooking! Else she wouldn't had cooked! Though when Hannah is between bites some food 'accidently' spills onto the Boris's plate 'accidently' from Haruna's plate completely by 'accident'.

It was an 'accident' so Hannah can't get mad!

Sneaky!

"I do cook rice well!" she beams. "Thanks~ And---"

She met Hannah's parent's once, but not really well. Just that cookout where---that thing... hurt Ao. Ugh. Her stomach queezes because that's what she actually associates with that day.

"Yeah...I'd like to meet your parents properly." she beams. Then she pauses. Then a blush.

"Do they know we're dating or something?" she asks suddenly quietly. "Don't want that to be awkward or anything or stuff..." she mumbles.

"OH! I like... spicy but not... too spicy?" she asks.

Hannah Sharpe has posed:
So totally accidental. The kind of accident Boris doesn't tell her about! Though poor Gull will have to unglue the big fluffy lug by the end of the night from her side at this rate! That tail swishes a mile a minute!

Then Hannah rolls her eyes.

"You should have /heard/ Dad. 'If this one treats you wrong I'll throw 'em into the harbor!'. Don't worry though, I think you'll pass. I sent Mom a picture of you, she thinks we'll look adorable together! So don't worry, Dad can be...intense, but he's nice, and so is mom." She explains, before finally cleaning her plate! Leeean back!

"Oh man, it's nice to not have to cook for once. Mmm, remind me to teach you how to make brunswick stew then, should be right up your alley."

Haruna Kurosawa has posed:
Haruna Kurosawa eats. "Well I can always come cook for you, Hannah-chan~" she beams. "Just call!~ and...if I'm not like, punching a Terribad or doing something with Aki I can come and cook! Or.. I can cook for you like a week and I can freeze it!" she says with wide eyes.

Then she goes pale.. "U..ugh! I hope your dad doesn't get upset at me...or think I'm going to hurt you..." she says, retreating inwards into herself. "I mean I know we gotta punch each other sometimes and that's part of the other half of my job but sides stop existing when there's no combat!" she insists! Blue-sama said so!

She does perk up a bit and blushes a bit and crosses her arms. "Well..I am adorable! So... there's that!" she insists.

"......right?" she asks....

".....that sounds like I'm fishing doesn't it..." she asks.

"....I suck at people..." she deflates.

"OH!...um. What's brunswick stew?" she asks suddenly. "....what's a brunswick? Is that an animal with horns?" she asks.

Hannah Sharpe has posed:
"Whenever I'm lazy, Cure Crockpot to the rescue!" Griiiin! Then, she wraps an arm around Haruna's shoulder! Squeeze!

"Thanks. We can trade meals! I need to learn more about japanese cooking anyway."

As for her Dad, both hands wave in the air!

"It'll be fine, I promise! First of all, he doesn't know about our day job. Second, even if he did, well...let's just say his high school career was colorful at best. So don't worry about that. I try to keep my parents out of the whole 'magic' thing."

Her own voice lowers, more pensive. "Heh. I'd like 'sides' to dissappear period."

Reeeach! A hand to that hair, and she's ruffling!

"Deep breaths. You are adorable, strong, and most importantly? You love and care for those closest to you no matter what side they're on. I like you because of that personality of yours more than anything else, Haruna-chan. Being cute is just icing~."

A nod. "So have a little confidence, okay?"

Back to food! "Brunswick is a country in Virginia, and Georgia. Which one invented the stew is up for debate, but it's usually made from tomatoes, corn, beans, chicken or beef, and lots of spices! I like the chicken kind myself. Buffalo stew it is not!" She explains.

Hannah's up once the pair are done, opting to do the dishes!

"Oh, hey, tell your sister if she needs any help catching up on her schoolwork, let me know, okay?"

Haruna Kurosawa has posed:
Haruna Kurosawa is squeezed!~ She likes beings squeezed! She squeezes back in fact. It's a half-hug~ She smiles. "We can do that then, yes! But.. yeah. I can cook for you Hannah-chan~ I'd be happy too!" she beams.

She pauses. "...still need to go on that date thou---but..maybe I should meet your parents first!? Ugh.. two dates or just the one before parent meeting!?" she asks frantically. She's not super worried about it, it seems.

She smiles. "Oh..so. It's a stew that was invinted in a town called Brusnwick well now I feel silly. Okay. Hrm maybe I can...." she says with a huff and blows her blonde bangs some in her own disbelif.

"I wish my dorm had a kitchentte..." she huffs.

"But since Aki's working now...maybe we can get a small apartment with a kitchentte now..." she mulls.

"But it's so convient living in schoooool." she whines.

Hannah Sharpe has posed:
Chin-rub. Hannah tilts her head, and considers!

"We should get the parents out of the way! Then go out and celebrate our success at impressing them once they both fall in love with you!" She sure is confident!

Hannah just laughs at the poor flustered Haruna. "Well, whatever you two are more comfortable with. The apartment might be nice, but you can't beat being so close to school. It's a unique culture here, I kinda like it myself. Then again, I was lucky enough to snatch up a better one." Having medical reasons /and/ being in Eclipse helps!

Once the dishes are done, off she goes to the couch! Flop!

"Though you can always stay the night here if you do move out and end up missing dorm life."

Haruna Kurosawa has posed:
Haruna Kurosawa nods. "Family first then!" she says matter of factly. PERHAPS good advice in any sense. She smiles and sits back on the couch and just pets Boris-kun while Hannah does dishes. Husky pup always makes her happy~

She nods. "I got the cheapy because It was just me and didn't want a lot of space at the time..." she mutters a little sadly for a moment. "--but it isn't crowded with Aki in there and Corvus isn't even a space issue. He hangs out on my bed rim" she says.

"But I cook stuff on a hot-plate now." she blushes.

"It works! It's just not always hot enough for stuff like meats." she says. "Or rapid boiling." she says.

She taps her chin and then blushes scandoulsly. "Stay over the night!?"

"Oh.. um, sure. Why not." she says!
