---

Hannah Sharpe has posed:
Hannah can come up with some oddball date ideas, and her first seems to be taking Gull to a skating rink! One short cab ride later, Hannah dressed in a casual set of jeans and t-shirt, and the two arrive! After some chatter and paying up, ice skates on, Hannah will take up Haruna's help to get to the rink! It's fairly empty today, only one other skater out on the ice, so perfect for a fun time!

"So you ever done this before, Haruna-chan? Last time I went to one of these was when I was ten! Heh, dad fell more often than I did! But mom didn't fall once! Of course, she was the one looking after me!" She laughs at the old memory.

A breath, and she takes in the cold air, wrapping the scarf she brought a little tighter.

There's a scarf also offered to Haruna! It's blue!

"Heh, here. Boris helped me make it." Boris can knit!?

Haruna Kurosawa has posed:
Hannah brings Haruna ice skating! When Haruna picks out the /training skates/ this already Hannah's question on 'if she ever done this before', but she shakes her head. "N-not really..." she mutters. She looks so awkward on skates. So adorably awkward.

She blinks at the scarf. She smiles. "Boris knows a lot!" she says. She doesn't find the concept of a dog knitting too hard. Corvus somehow...does tings with just wings. She never really gives it too much thought. She finds it hurts to think too hard about it!

Anyways, she steps onto the ice and then panicedly begins balancing. Sliiiiding forward slowly.

"....I have no idea how to turn..."

She begins to slow down.

"...or go forward or move..."

"..at least I'm balacing..."

She tries to watch Hannah do it.

Hannah Sharpe has posed:
Thank goodness Hannah doesn't notice! She'd probably encourage /real/ skates! The awkward shuffle is endearing, though, and it earns her a quick hug as they walk!

"You have no idea. He's not much in a fight, but he's tough and smart and makes a mean hotdog!" She praises her Familiar! Elsewhere, Boris doggie-sneezes!

Hannah manages to reach out and steady Haruna with minor flailing. This isn't her specialty, athletic as she is!

She points to her feet and starts pushing, blades of her skates at an angle.

"Okay. So point the blades outward, then push forward. To stop, hold them in and lean back a little. Not too far, though, or you'll land on your butt!"

She skates forward a few times, slowly.

"Now you try!" Grinning, she stays close to catch if necessary!

Haruna Kurosawa has posed:
Haruna Kurosawa tries to do this, a minor push forward!-----

Then she flails spastically and begins to fall and she falls against Hannah and blushes. "Nrg...Sorry...let me....steady myself..." she pushes herself to her up from Hannah's grip and tries again--oh no, she's falling the other way now....!

Hannah probably catches her and re-steadies her, we'll say! She blushes and huffs. "Sorry it's like I just grew a third leg and don't know how to use it yet." she mutters.

Hannah Sharpe has posed:
Hannah Sharpe gives a tiny sigh as poor Haruna flails! Catch! The young woman is grinning to Gull!

"Hey, take it easy! This is hard stuff to learn. Ice makes for weird physics. Like in Mario."

A second catch, and this time, she holds on. Hannah lets go, does a neat little spin in her skates, and then faces Gull. Taking both of the other girl's hands, there's a wink, and then Hannah leans riiiiiight in! Nose to nose!

"You can do this, Haruna. I believe in you. If you can fly like a Gull, then you can fly on the ice too."

Pause. "Okay, that sounded better in my head. Come on, I'm right here." Leeean! A smooch to the forehead and she turns around! Taking Haruna's hand, she slooowly starts to skate forward, guiding the PreCure forward!

"Left right, left right! Easy rhythm!"

Haruna Kurosawa has posed:
Haruna Kurosawa needs to be caught and this time led more properly.. a wink and then... a smooch!? *bluuuuush*. ANYWAYS, she continues to try to skate as she grits her teeth! "You're right! I guess...In a weird way...you don't really... fly on ice. You glide.. more like it..." she says as she tries. Okay.

She gets more of a rhythm going, left. right. left. right. Okay! Neat! She's getting somewhere now that front.

"Okay...getting.. the hang of it. How do you turn...!?" she asks.

"I'm just going to slide off the mat!"

Hannah Sharpe has posed:
Hannah looks like the Cheshire Cat after feeling that blush, continuing to lead her on! Left right left right! The Gull is getting it!

"There we go! It's a start, anyway! Okay, now, into the corner! You lean to your left and right, and only kick off with the opposite foot!"

She lets go, and does a turn, leaning and skating to the left with her right foot!

"You try! It's easy!" No it's not, silly Hanners! The young woman waits a few feet away just in case!

"Flap your arms! It'll help!" Teases the magical girl, laughing. Poor Haruna!

Haruna Kurosawa has posed:
Haruna Kurosawa flaps her arms. Flap, flap flap, because she doens't sense the tease in Hannah-chan's voice! She flaps and flaps and flaaaaaaps. Ugh. She ends up slipppping. Hannah's going to have to act quicker to catch her this time. "Oofffff...! Ugh can we... sit down a moment. Like. Is there a hot chocolate stand around?" she mutters looking around. Don't ice rinks usually have one of those!? Of coffe!? or anything hot!? A bowl of instant ramen even! Ughhhhhhhh!

She sort of flails.

"I need to break off the ice, I think I'm getting... motion sick." she says softly.

Yeah she is not used to moving like this on ice.

Hannah Sharpe has posed:
Flap flap flap! Hannah's eyes go wide! "H...hey! I was kidding, don't!!!"

Sliiip, she kicks off close as Haruna flails!

A little too fast!

"Yeah we ca...oh crap, stop, stop stop!" Thud! Right into Gull! Pulling her close, she rolls around, and lets Haruna land atop her! Cushion Hannah go!

She's dazed a moment, then groans.

"...You okay, Haruna?" Time to disentangle. Hannah's blushing like a madwoman, and slowly she starts off towards the nearest hot chocolate vendor.

"Yeah. Hotchocolate time. Ow."

Haruna Kurosawa has posed:
Haruna Kurosawa ofs, the two fall over one another and she sighs and frowns and crosses her arms with a hrmph. She then realizes she's ATOP Hannah, ack! She begins to struggle up and instead crawls along the ice until she gets to dry land and pushes herself up and brushes herself off as she huffs! "Well. that could had been better--but--thanks for...catching me Hannah-chan..." she blushes fiercely.

She finds a place to sit, she's assuming Hannah can get hot chocolate but--oh um. Maybe she should actually ask nicely. "Can you get the hot chocolate? Else...I can... I just need a mintue to sit." she insists.

She closes her eyes and takes a deep breath and sits and waits regardless....oh. Right.

Suzuki. Wanted her to ask a thing anyways. She crosses her arms and hrmphs! Something seems on her mind and it's embarassing. She doesn't actually ask anything yet.

Hannah Sharpe has posed:
Hannah laughs just a little awkwardly! She loves contact, but that was just embarrassing!

"Ahhh, it's fine, it's fine!" She quickly tries to cover her pride here. "What's a girlfriend for, right? I've been told I make a good pillow, too!"

"Sit! You sound woozy." She then commands at the littl eprotest. No woozy flappy gulls!

Two drinks later, she walks over and sit down. The drink is offered!

Then she sips on her own, but quickly picks up on the silence.

A deep sigh. "Okay. What'd I do this time?" Of course, this /has/ to be about her doing something evil, right!?

Haruna Kurosawa has posed:
Haruna Kurosawa sips her drink and ahhhs....

She blinks. "Eh...?"

She blushes!

"What!? No! Suzuki.... wanted me to...ask something...."

She blushes some more.

"She was talking about... what her family expects her to wear and she said it wasn't like... she'd wear skimpy clothing or anything and----"

"I kinda...blurted out if Hannah would find that neat..or something..." she says crossing her arms and blushing.

"Talked about Kimonos and stuff..."

Hannah Sharpe has posed:
A breath of relief! She can't think of anything evil she's done too recently. Hannah's on her best behaviour after saving a world!

Now taking bets on how long that'll last.

A single brow rises. Is that a blush!? Hannah can't help but smile excitedly. Oh, this is going to be good!

/Oh/! She does her best to not giving a knowing look, remembering Suzuki's text!

"Oh-ho~. Yeah, her parents are...well, /traditional/." There's a scoff.

"They don't like me much. American, outgoing, hates using honorifics...yeeeeeah, that sounds like them." Huff.

Hearing it from Gull is still hilarious. She laughs.

"Haruna, wear what you want. I'm not exactly the kind of person who cares about appearances for obvious reason." She sidles a little closer.

"So if you want to wear a pencil skirt, or a full-on kimono, go for it! Honestly? I like both, as long as you choose good materials."

A huge grin.

"Though a Kimono would be great! A nice soft silk one to wear during a festival, cuddle on a high hill listening to the fireworks, wrapped in each other's arms beneath the stars!"

A little romantic sigh.

"Would you like that, Haruna?"

Haruna Kurosawa has posed:
Haruna Kurosawa softly blushes as she sighs. "I knew there was some problems, but.. Kimonos all the time!?" she asks with a shocked expression. She blushes.

"Well..that's why i said...it probably didn't matter---but...I think that's kind of--- a wrong way of thinking- that... just because... someone's like that...doesn't mean they can't enjoy something but..." she sighs.

She blushes a bit though at Hannah's description as romantic...

"I think that would be very nice actually..." she blushes fiercely. "I mean.. just there.. n' stuff and it'd be..like in a movieandstuffand...."

She calms down. Big wide nervous smile!

Hannah Sharpe has posed:
A hand runs through Hannah's hair.

"Crazy, huh? I mean seriously, what happens when it gets hot? Is she just supposed to cover up and deal with it? Suzu's a strong girl, but I swear that's bordering on abuse." There's an angry edge to her voice.

An arm around Haruna's shoulders. Sip. Pull in!

"Right on the head of the nail, Haruna. Looks don't mean anything, as long as you enjoy it and I can give a tug or two on the materials, then I'm happy."

Her own smile is just warm at this point.

"You're cute when you're blushing and embarrassed, you know? Next festival, let's do that, Haruna, okay?" And then she lays her head on Haruna's shoulder! Snug!

"...Hey. Thanks for always being there and accepting who I am. Not many people do. I owe you."

Haruna Kurosawa has posed:
Haruna Kurosawa nods. "Yeah...But...I figure...silk breathes?" she asks. "I never really thought..." she taps her lip. "Maybe I should go beat up more Terribads until I get the miko Precard..." she ponders.

She blushes a bit more. "I bet you can feel all that blood in my face.. ugh! Like.. burning in this cold weather..." she mutters.

"Well..Hannah-chan. You--um..."

"You were like my first friend... when I thought Aki was still dead..." she says softly. "Aki was my only friend.. my sister. That's it. I.. didn't. It's hard to talk to people--I mean. It was..." she says softly. "--and... when you... became my friend after. um. fixing what I did to Ao..." she says sheepishly.

"I just... ya know. I can't..just. look away. Just because I have to punch you sometimes because sometimes you gotta do jerk things!--and besides, I bet you like it!" she insists.

"But.. I'm also willing to help when you /don't/ need to do those kind of things and doing something like.. I dunno like that whole evil ice cream thing back then. I could had done that with you." she blushes.

"That's why...I went with you to WPS... even if I'm not like, this awesome dark witch anymore or something..." she mutters.

Hannah Sharpe has posed:
Hannah tilts her head.

"I /really/ need to study one of those cards some time. I mean, seriously! The flexibility and tactical application! If I could combine that with a Device..." Cue a brief laugh of ambition. Stop giving ideas!

Ahem! "But you'd look great as a Miko."

"Haruna, I can hear it in your voice." Nosepoke!

And then she listens earnestly, smiling in an oddly gentle manner.

"I guess I felt that you seemed out of place. You weren't like the others, not like me either. But I felt attracted to you, somehow. Sure, I was pissed at first. But a good person wouldn't have given Ao's energy back. That's when I knew you deserved to have a friend."

Then a laugh. "Besides, I'm from the South. Family's everything to me." Pause. "I /love/ fighting! Especially against someone I know is strong."

Her eyes close. "You're welcome on any mission, Haruna. Honestly? I think you're stronger now. You have more potential this way. Dreams, ambitions, strength, advancement, defense of those that really need it. That's what we're about, Haruna."

Then she stands, and takes the other girl's hand.

"Come on. I've got a nice restaurant booked."
