---

Haruna Kurosawa has posed:
Haruna's apartment is a royal mess because she stopped maintaining it two days ago because the Coffee Shop is just days from opening and being sort of gone for three days because some Lost Logia shoves you into a perfect dreamworld didn't help issues.

Also Haruna is still sort of a mess about all that and Corvus has related this to Hannah because Haruna doesn't want to bug people. As always.

A stack of papers falls in the corner as Haruna hurried goes through her third pen signing papers and checking numbers.

Haruna has a pair of reading glasses on. They are non prescription. Corvus says: "Haruna, you don't even wear glasses. -,-;;." Haruna says: "They make me feel smarter shut up."

This continues for a bit as Corvus looks toward's the door.

Hannah Sharpe has posed:
Business paperwork (oh yeah, Hannah nows that pain), and Jerk-Logia. A dreadful combination, and one that's had Hannah out hunting for /something/ to try to cheer up a certain hard working mahou-love. Hannah is here almost on cue. KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK!

Not quite her usual WHUMPS to get everyone and their ancestor's attentions. It's a little more measured than that. Hannah can in fact show concern when it's really important. Now is that time.

"Oh, no, here I am lost, an innocent girl in the dark! Who /ever/ will save me and let me in to hug the heck out of my saviour~!" Comes the young woman's voice over-dramatic and yet loud enough to be heard through the door.

Haruna Kurosawa has posed:
Haruna Kurosawa looks to the door and Corvus whistles innocent and---he flies out the window. Haruna narrows her eyes and rolls them a moment as she sighs. "Coming." she says loud enough that she hopes it's heard as she answers with the ridicolous costume glasses. She blinks once then fumbles to shove them off into her pocket.

She walks to the door and opens it and grabs Hannah's shoulder and pulls her inside and then just /hugs/ and /hugs/ and /hugs/ and then there's a kiss on the cheek.

"S--sorry." she says. "I've just. Been. The shop is opening soon! and--I spent.. a few days. In that stupid.. place and--I'm so behind and!..." she just sort of commiserates all at once as she sniffs. None of it is actually dealing with the situation more of: 'I feel bad for burying myself in work immediatly.'

"..are you okay?" she asks first. "You're not upset at me... right?" she asks.

Hannah Sharpe has posed:
Even Hannah can't stop the oncoming Hug-Gull Train as it pulls into station. Or rather pulls /her/ into station! Arms immediately pull in Haruna close, returning the hug and peck just as eagerly. She doesn't bother hiding any concern though! No, there's a very real fear for Haruna after all she's been through.

That's probably why she pretty much collapses into the local couch, Gull-chan in tow. Hannah's basically offering herself as half-couch should Haruna desire to lay out.

"Haruna Kurosawa, deep breath. Really? I'm proud of you for trying to make up for lost time! You're working your magical feathers off! But that makes me worried too. There's such thing as too much work. You've got me, and I have a legion of underpaid, desperate interns." One eye squints. /Squint/!

Reach, bonk on the head! "So work hard, but don't work stupid. I love you, Haruna."

She offers a shoulder. "Take a break, you need it. And you need to talk. You probably won't admit it. But you need to talk, Haruna. Please?"

Haruna Kurosawa has posed:
Haruna Kurosawa does indeed, collapse against Hannah because oh god she just wants to slack and hide under her or something but that isn't going to work so she settles just for a /super close snuggle/. Which is almost as good. She sighs a bit.

"Just..."

"It was so.. /perect/." she says. "It's like everything I wanted and more." she says softly. "And they were acting how exactly I thought they would if they were more accepting..." she says quietly.

"I mean... it's not. Even worth it to try to get them to understand. Aki tries every year. Sometimes she ends up decking dad in the face. So it's not like you can't punch it into him." she mutters.

"But. They said.. they'd love me. No matter what." she says.

"I mean. They. The illusion." she says quietly.

"...was that really a Lost Logia...?" she asks.

"...Unity Loop doesn't have... um. 'Search'?... Scanners?" she asks. "She isn't a Device. So it's not like she has a spell bank or anything." she says quietly.

She sighs a bit. "I dunno if I wanna deal with that thing. I don't wanna go through that again." she says quietly.

Hannah Sharpe has posed:
There's a hand on the back of Haruna's head. Pet pet pet brushie brushie brushie! Hannah is warm, and close, and /there/. Haruna isn't alone.

"Sometimes...I think you really can't change people. It sucks. It really does. Most people you can eventually get through to with enough force. But every now and then you get people who won't budge no matter what."

A sucking breath. Her chest hurts more than any kind of punch, more than even the strike of Queen Beryl. There's a situation she can't punch through, much to her own annoyance. But she holds steady. For Gull.

"I think it was. Or maybe some kind of nasty hybrid. Most Logia seem like they do one thing and one thing only. They're ticking time bombs, not smart phones. Err. No offense R.T."

There's the audible equivalent of a Device-sigh from Hannah's pocket.

"But we won't know that until we've tracked it down, dragged Takashi in, and made it beg for what it's done." There's more than a little venom here. This has gotten personal.

A squeeze of Haruna's shoulder. "Hey. You don't have to. You have a coffee shop to open up. Still..."

She turns around, kneels a bit, and stares eye-to-eye blindly with Haruna. As it turns out, she's scarily good at staring contests thanks to her condition.

"But that'd be quitting. Is Haruna Kurosawa /really/ a quitter? You're scared. And that's ok. But we're going to stop this thing before it does what it did to you again to anybody. Right? That's just the kind of thing a Pretty Cure would do."

Haruna Kurosawa has posed:
Haruna Kurosawa purses her lips and sighs a bit. "I dunno. I don't think... I can deal with that again, Hannah-chan." she says quietly. "I can't even... remember. What I was doing before that happened. I remember waking up in bed but I don't even think I was lying down at first?---" she says quietly.

"Basically my head is a mess until I remember two girls crashing into through the roof and then I start remembering then." she says quietly.

She sighs. "You're right. Of course." she says. "I just. Need to get my thoughts together." she says quietly.

She sighs. Ugh so good at /staring contests/!

"I just. I was alone for a long time. You know?" she says. "and I hated that I don't wanna go back. But stuff like this. Just. Makes me wanna hide." she says. "Like that. Like before." she says.

Hannah Sharpe has posed:
There's a big, big sucking breath from Hannah. she nods several times. The memory loss. All of it. It speaks to a powerful Logia. No, something worse. A twisted hybrid. The idea tickles her head. It's something that Hannah would only consider to come from nightmares.

Or Ta-kun. One eye narrows. He's several continents away. No, probably not his doing. She might just still harangue him for the mere possibliity though!

Haruna might just feel the entire room shift as Hannah pretty much tries to haul her physically over her shoulders, spin her around, and then basically suplex her back onto the couch in half concern, half anger!

"YOU IDIOT!" She howls! Hannah doesn't let go. There's one heck of a hug after this.

"Messed up, scared, all of that...FINE! That's natural! I can accept that! But no way are you going back into that dark corner where you're all alone! I'd lose you that way, and so would Boris, and...and...everybody! You're stronger than that now Haruna! You need to rest, get better, but no way am I letting you sink back into Darkness like that! You understand me? NOT. GONNA. HAPPEN!" Hannah's breathing hard, heart pounding. Her eyes shine with love and pure, naked fear.

Haruna Kurosawa has posed:
Haruna Kurosawa 's world spins and she's suplexed onto the couch! oof! This happens too fast and it's admittedly fun just for a moment until: 'You idiot!' Wait no. 'YOU IDIOT!'. She sort of retreats a little into herself at those words. But she knows they're not said in a hurtful way.

"I know." she says. "Corvus already hasn't let me." she insists softly. She sort of curls her arms around herself. "Besides. Aki won't let me either. And you won't either. and Sakura won't either, and lots of others won't." she says.

She leans over and wraps her arms around Hannah.

"I won't. I promise." she says quietly.

"Besides. I don't want you to see hidey Haruna." she insists.

"She sucks." she insists, a little teasingly.

There it is. "Oh and punches boys. A lot." she insists.

Hannah Sharpe has posed:
There's general stillness, finally. Whump. Is Hannah out of energy!?

Oh heck no! But she also has some kind of consideration in the back of her head. Part instinct, part good old Southern lady-ness. Also tons of love for Haruna. A potent cocktail indeed!

As Haruna self-hugs, there's even more Hannah-hugs. "Glad to hear it. Listen. Ever hear about a guy named George Carlin? He has a pretty good quote. 'Think of how stupid the average person is, and realize half of them are stupider than that'. You, me, that dummy Mamoru...we cna each be pretty stupid in our own ways."

Suddenly, a grin as arms find her. "But I'm glad to hear you get it. Then again...I do like to see you punching lots. Even if it's on guys. Especially if it's top-hat wearing jerks. Seriously. Who wears that kind of fashion these days and lays around like that?'

Alright, so Hannah and Namakelder probably won't ever be best friends.

Haruna Kurosawa has posed:
Haruna Kurosawa smirks a bit. "I didn't know how to really talk to people when I was alone? So kinda 'how to deal with boys intrested in the quiet girl' turned into 'punch them in the face really hard' quick." she admits sheepishly.

She sighs a bit and just mutters. "Jerks do. Jerks wear top hats. Just look at Mamoru~" she says teasingly.

"But he isn't a jerk. I'm just being silly." she says as she sighs.

"Right. Sakura wants to work at the coffee shop. Imma gonna let her." she says.

"Speaking of..." she stands up.

"Let's go check it out. There's something I gotta show you anyways." she says.

Hannah Sharpe has posed:
Hannah...well, she laughs. "You say that like it's a bad strategy! Some guys like a girl who can kick their butts!"

A smack on the back. "But I'm glad you're /you/ now. I mean don't get me wrong. You still had my interest, still cute. But you're /you/ now. The real you. I can...eh...I can kinda feel it. You're happy." A rub of the back of her own head awkwardly.

"He is the /biggest jerk/! Frumpy lovable idiot!"

Yoink! Suddenly, Hanners is pulled away to the new business! She has to pump her legs to keep up, but she's laughing as they both barrel down the apartment stairs.

"Really!? Looks like it won't be boring! I like it!" Comes Hannah as they chase off to the smell of delicious roast beans.
