|Poses=:'''{{#var:27|Hannah Sharpe (27)}} has posed:'''<br><span></span> Hannah's had a long night of cuddles and emotional roller coaster fun, and now it's time to go right to the source. She'd texted Takashi for a meetup in Umbra, for a 'tune up and a chat'. It was an oddly curt text. The kind she uses when she's upset, but not upset enough to just drag Takashi down to a training match or find some other excuse to punch him. Lucky for his nose! <br /><br /> Besides, she needs to save her energy. Hannah shows up in henshin, knocking on Umbra's door, with a tight smile and yet curiousity in her eyes. She's truly wondering what he can do for her Device. <br /><br /> There's a box of donuts and a travel-container of coffee for the both of them, at least. Mixed signals are the order of the day. <br /><br /> "Heeeey Umbra director! I'm here!" Yes, the yelling is totally necessary.<br> <br>

:'''{{#var:86|Ayana (86)}} has posed:'''<br><span></span>Ayana spent the night at Hannah's house, which means she's still with Hannah when she goes to visit Takashi. Why bother going early when she can sleep in and be lazy? It's not like Takashi's been asking for her to be anywhere particular this morning, and while she ''could'' be out getting energy, she's spent days doing that. She's due a lazy morning once in a while. So instead, she's curled up around Hannah's neck in fox form, lounging lazily like a stole on the foreigner's shoulders.<br> <br>

:'''{{#var:47|Takashi Agera (47)}} has posed:'''<br><span></span>Takashi Agera was up working on a project all night, and actually fell asleep in his lab. The Eclipse Robo-Guards let him know in their strange silent way that someone was at the door - and it took him a while to respond to the knock once he recognized Hannah, washing his face and running hands through wet hair so it doesn't look like he just woke up - but his eyes probably still betray it.<br /><br />Once he opens the 'door' as it is, so it opens into the UMBRA Labs instead of the warehouse it's actually attached to, he smiles as he beckons Hannah in. "Morning Hannah." he says. He tries to sound excited, but it's a bit of a mumble. "Oh. Morning to you too, Ayana. What can I do for my two favorite villainous ladies?"<br> <br>

:'''{{#var:27|Hannah Sharpe (27)}} has posed:'''<br><span></span> The 'sight' of a tired Takashi further blunts her edge. Ugh, but if she can't respect his hard work! She gives scritches to the Familiar-stoal about her neck, half to put the fox in a good mood, and half to avoid getting too aggressive with her lab partner. <br /><br /> "...Dear god man, how late were you up last night?" That angry edge in her voice fades mostly, and she's pouring him some coffee and shoving donut in his face! <br /><br /> "Eat, drink! Wake up! I need a favor." <br /><br /> One dehenshin later, and with a kiss to the coin-form of Raging Tempest, she offers her over. <br /><br /> "Let's say I'm going on vacation for a little secret project, so I need you to look at RT here. She's got some worn out parts and stuff, according to Euph-chan. And I'll need her in top working condition." Pause. Grin. <br /><br /> "I'll bring you back something nice if you do it~. Scout's honor!" <br /><br /> She'll let Ayana down too if she wants! <br /><br /> "Seriously, though, you taking care of yourself?" It's a good sign that she's not immediately launching into a tirade. She's had some time to calm down, after all.<br> <br>

:'''{{#var:86|Ayana (86)}} has posed:'''<br><span></span>Ayana leans into the scritches for just a moment, but once Hannah's done with that, Ayana hops off of Hannah's neck into Takashi's arms, and licks his face. Then she turns back into a girl--necessitating either princess carry or putting down--and offers him a hug. "Morning, Master," she greets him happily, before stealing a donut for herself and wandering off to find a spinny chair to sit and spin on.<br> <br>

:'''{{#var:47|Takashi Agera (47)}} has posed:'''<br><span></span>Takashi is becoffe'd and bedonut'd, and is already rapdily improving! It's helped even more when he catches the fox, who turns into a girl. He gives her a real, honest hug, spinning her around a bit in his arms before he sets her down. "Morning, Ayana-chan." he says with a grin before turning back to Hannah.<br /><br />"Oh? A Secret Project?" The grin turns a little bit more mischevious, and he nods. "I'll be happy to help. And yeah, leave Tempest here with me if you like and I'll shuffle some of my projects around to make sure I get to her first. And I'll be careful with her. I'm not a scout, but you have my word." Takashi says, missing the 'scouts honor' comment's meaning and also knowing how much RT means to Hannah.<br /><br />"I'm fine, it's just I lost a lot of time and progress while I was in the hospital." His cheery demeanor dies pretty much instantly when he talks about 'being in the hospital' and it's clear he lost a lot of self-confidence from that episode, just by the way he comments on it.<br> <br>

:'''{{#var:27|Hannah Sharpe (27)}} has posed:'''<br><span></span> Okay, she can't help it. Hannah chuckles as Ayana leaps forth and there's a spinny-hug! <br /><br /> "I'm glad you two are okay now." She says it without a hint of anger, at least for now. <br /><br /> "You're a life saver, Takashi! Thanks! Trust me, I'll bring you back something worthwhile!" She's oddly tight lipped about the project itself, but at least there's something that he might be able to study on the line! <br /><br /> She does roll her eyes a little as he misses the phrase though! <br /><br /> Cue a bit of sympathy. "Well, if it makes you feel any better, I found some info. According to Chiba, after your fight, he was trying to piece your wounds back together. Obviously, it didn't work as intended. I doubt he'll do that to you again. Seems it wasn't malicious, at least." shrug. <br /><br /> Then her demeanor deflates into mild irritation. <br /><br /> "Alright, so, I'm going to get this off my chest, Ta-kun. I know what you did to Ayana. All of it." Scowl! But only for a moment. <br /><br /> "And I think I know why. That person stole your bond, right? And you did a lot of things to get it back. And seems you said some things. I'll be blunt, I don't approve of messing with Familiars. But I get it, too. If it was Boris that someone messed with, I'd probably do something idiotic. So..." <br /><br /> Reeach, nose-poke! <br /><br /> "I'm not going to punch you in the face for it. Just take the advice of someone who's had a Familiar for a long time. Don't screw with something good. I think Ayana's on a good path. Don't get greedy, got it?" <br /><br /> After a good minute of intense Hannah-stares, she grabs a cup of coffee. <br /><br /> "That's my piece."<br> <br>

:'''{{#var:86|Ayana (86)}} has posed:'''<br><span></span>Ayana looks up and stares at Hannah, blinking in surprise at the sudden confrontational tone she takes with Takashi. If she expected it, the girl doesn't show it in the slightest. Instead, she tilts her head to one side, ears flicking faintly in ... annoyance? curiosity? But this isn't her fight, and Takashi doesn't seem in any direct danger, so instead she looks to him, patient for his response.<br> <br>

:'''{{#var:47|Takashi Agera (47)}} has posed:'''<br><span></span>"I'm sure whatever you bring me will be useful. Or you could just fire Akemi, that'd be fine too." he says, that mischevious grin still there until she starts in on him. And suddenly, there's a rise in his emotions - emotions Ayana can likely feel too, as he turns on Hannah, and suddenly he's obviously just trying to control that flare of emotional reaction!<br /><br />"You only think you know why, Hannah-chan." he says, clenching his fist. "You didn't see how sad she was. How MISERABLE she was." he begins, ducking and weaving away from responsibility as he often does, wether intentional or subconscious. "She was absolutly crushed, and she wanted me to unmake her, to turn her back into just a fox, because she was that upset."<br /><br />"I know how important she is, and I don't think what I did was idiotic at all. We need each other. I did what I had to do to keep us both happy. If I can't use my power for that, it's not good for anything at all." He stares back at her.<br /><br />"I respect your advice, Hannah Sharpe, but I am sure in this circumstance you are wrong. And unless you saw how crushed my fox was before I helped her, I am not sure you have grounds to talk here." This is a very polite response given how livid Takashi looks.<br> <br>

:'''{{#var:27|Hannah Sharpe (27)}} has posed:'''<br><span></span> Bleh! Hannah sticks out her tongue! Nope, not firing the Puella, you silly Evil Magical Boy! <br /><br /> But then they get into it. That anger is faced with crossed arms and a /look/ of certainty! <br /><br /> "Yeah, I noticed. I know you, Ta-kun! It's not just those two idiots who got in the way that caused all of her problems!" <br /><br /> A deep sigh. She's silent, and finally, shakes her head. <br /><br /> "Make sure she stays happy. You two are working on the same page now, so that's good. Maybe I don't know all the facts, but I'm saying if you push things too far she won't be Ayana any more. And for the love of all that's decent, don't try it on Boris! Deal?" <br /><br /> A deep sigh. And then, she manages a half-smile. "But I have to admit, I like her attitude better. She /demanded pets/, didn't you, Ayana?" Hannah sounds oddly proud as she leans over and gives Ayana a comforting ear-pet!<br> <br>

:'''{{#var:86|Ayana (86)}} has posed:'''<br><span></span>Ayana rolls her eyes as Takashi starts ranting at Hannah defensively. She doesn't defend him, but she's not about to accuse him, either. It's more like she just thinks this whole debate is dumb. But she doesn't say that, either, which is why when there is suddenly a pair of hands petting her ears, she is taken entirely off guard and weakened by it. Ack! Unexpected good feelings!<br /><br />Ayana closes her eyes and leans into the pettings, then mumbles, "Well Takashi always tells me to take what I want, and I wanted to be petted, and asking ''him'' for pets was just going to be a fight because he was busy working in his lab. So ... I took what I wanted from you. Also, good luck finding the pepper," she says with a faint snicker.<br> <br>

:'''{{#var:47|Takashi Agera (47)}} has posed:'''<br><span></span>Takashi leans back away from the fight once Hannah calms down. "Hey, Boris is your familiar, I wouldn't touch him unless you asked. Unlike some people apparently..." he says, referring to Ikiko "... I respect that bond."<br /><br />"Ayana just knows how the world works now. She doesn't have any more delusions about who she is, or where her place in the world is. And who is important to her." Takashi says proudly.<br> <br>

:'''{{#var:27|Hannah Sharpe (27)}} has posed:'''<br><span></span> "And you did a good job of it! Next time I'm going to..." Pause. Wait, what? <br /><br /> "Heyyyyy! I'm going to be looking for hours, aren't I?" /Sigh/! She gives Ayana a big pet on the head regardless! <br /><br /> Takashi, thankfully, says just the right words to soothe the angry Hanners. <br /><br /> "Good! Glad we're on the same page. What do you guys want to do about Ikiko, anyway?" She doesn't bother speaking the offer, it's a little too obvious. <br /><br /> "Clarity's definitely an advantage. I think you two will be even stronger now! Ayana! Let's spar some time. If you're going to be a real villain, you need to keep your skills up!"<br> <br>

:'''{{#var:86|Ayana (86)}} has posed:'''<br><span></span>"Days," Ayana replies with a smile, then nibbles on the donut before she looks to Takashi. Ikiko isn't her problem. Some small voice in the back of her head says she should fiercely defend the girl, but that voice is pretty firmly and thoroughly squashed by all the dark energy running around rampant inside of her. "Any time you want, Hannah-chan," she agrees of sparring. "But I'll probably beat you up." And so confident, too!<br> <br>

:'''{{#var:47|Takashi Agera (47)}} has posed:'''<br><span></span>Takashi's eyes narrow when it comes to Ikiko. "I'm going to deal with her sooner or later, I think. She has a very frustrating habit of sticking her snout in where it doesn't belong, even when my familiar isn't involved." Takashi responds. "Next time she does, I'll get my revenge on her. For what she made me do. For how she made Ayana feel."<br /><br /> "We should spar sometime too, after I get your device into tip shape. That way, I can beat you when you're at your very best." He says, with another playful grin. "... as long as I get to pick the place, anyways." The idea of being stuck in close quarters with Hannah does not lend itself well to him winning, he considers.<br> <br>
