---

Amu Hinamori has posed:
Amu Hinamori was having a good day! Like, there were no x-eggs, no monsters, her arm didn't keep her up, she still(barely) managed to have a boyfriend, she was a little worried that her love for him was all a lie and that she was, in fact, the very worst kind of person to have ever existed but, hey, how's that different from normal?

She was jogging, thoguh! Why? Because Tadase's favorite was Ran and that meant she had to be in good physical shape. That and she spent a TON of time running for her life so like... she needed it. You never know when a three story tall dog named ripper will try to tear you apart.

Haruka Haruno has posed:
Haruka was also running, for nearly-similar but not precisely the same reason. She focused on her running form- something she was getting in classes, too. She noticed the difference in how her body felt when she ran with proper form, and wondered what would happen if she applied that to running in Cure form.

She'd texted Kanata with the rough location of her run route, and she was expecting to see him-- but she didn't expect to see a strange Chara Bearer with not one, not two, but three freaking charas! "Three!?" Haruka spluttered, eyeballing Ran, Su, and Miki with evident confusion. Rythm and Temari said something definite about Nagihiko, but these three looked so different from even each other... Of course, this means she's made herself obvious in the fact that she can percieve magic stuff... but oh well.

Notably, Haruka is maintaining her stride. Verone and Tokyo as a whole have been good for her in that regard, especially with her half-formed, mostly-intuitive guess that her Cure abilities are a magnification, a multiplication, of her mundane abilities.

Prince Kanata has posed:
Prince Hope Grand Kanata is staying in a hotel. It is probably better not to ask how magical otherworld prince treasury gold translates to a hotel. It's magic. Alright? Anyways. He got a text. Haruka was out running. Running was good exercise. Kanata has run enough in his life- but it's different when it's with someone you consider a friend, right?

Right!

Aroma and Pafu /totally/ invaded his hotel room last night. The hotel does not allow pets. This led to a series of scooby doo like hiding adventures when housekeeping came by. Pafu takes offense to this. /She's the house cleaner/. /She's the ultimate maid!/. So she actually recleans the hotel room three times over when Kanata leaves.

Aroma has decided to come along. On his shoulder. Wings crossed there. He looks smug. Happy, but smug.

/So smug/.

Kanata sees Haruka and gives a wave and about to speak when Haruka seems to sputter and eyeball the girl across the way.

She has three tiny people with her that he perceives to be fairys. He's only right on some level.

"Hello, Haruka-chan." he smiles.

"Is that one of your friends?" he asks. Otherwise. Why is she staring?

Amu Hinamori has posed:
Amu Hinamori stopped for a moment and wiped the sweat from her brow. She could really use some cold milk. Cold milk after a hot walk would-- "Milk won't make your boobs grow bigger," Miki said, repeating the ever famous line from Ikuto. "MIKI!" Amu screamed, glaring at the chara. Then she noticed the other girl staring and froze. "Err, I... uhhhhh..." Crud, did she look like a psycho? Oh yes. To most, she probably did.

Ran and Su just giggled. "It's okay, Amu. You've done it enough times that most probably just think you're weird."

Haruka Haruno has posed:
"Milk won't what!?" Haruka sputters, face turning bright red as she stares at the chara. She's at least stopped running. Of course, if someone planted her in the dirt they might mistake her for a stop light at this point. "Um... I can see you guys, you know," Haruka informed Su and Ran, carefully aiming a poke at Ran's shoulder.

"I did meet Fujisaki-san, Rythm, and Temari." Her tone is slightly arch.

She stiffens on hearing Kanata's voice and turns around, smiling sheepishly. "I just met her, but she has charas like Fujisaki-san does!" Haruka says brightly.

Prince Kanata has posed:
Hope Kanata blinks and head tilts at Amu. Milk won't....

Make...

He blinks once again. He looks back to Haruka. Yeah that's some sort of light blush across his cheeks, because. What?

He looks back to Amu Hinamori and listens to Haruka.

"Oh." he says.

He begins to wonder if that's Amu's dream.

And why it takes three charas for that.

Amu Hinamori has posed:
Amu Hinamori blinked a few times. "O-oh. You can see--" Wait, they can hear them. She shrieked. "N-no, it's not like that! Her hands frantically waved. "No no no! y-you see, she was just quoting Ikuto-kun who used to sneak up on my balcony when I got out of the shower a-and because I was drinking milk he said that and--" Her face got even redder when she realized that, NO, that did NOT make it sound ANY better.

She hunched down and buried her face in ehr hands. Maybe if she was lucky a demon dog would attack now. Maybe the cast would make them take mercy on her?

It didn't help that he was really, really cute and they even shared hair color...

Haruka Haruno has posed:
Haruka blinked in confusion, steadily reddening in the face. This is rapidly turning incredibly embarrassing. She's honestly shocked Aroma hasn't perished from the impropriety of it all. "Um- anyway! Do you know Nadeshiko Fujisaki?" Haruka asks, careful to use the dancer's 'female' name in case he hasn't shared his secret with this pink-haired girl yet.

It might not be something Amu notices, but Haruka moves to stand next to Kanata with an awkward smile. The cast did get a small frown, after she cooled down enough from being flustered to notice it.

"Um- do you need a healer of some kind?" Because Haruka might be able to wrangle finding someone who can deal with the broken bones faster than mundanely possible.

Prince Kanata has posed:
Aroma broke at around the same time Kanata was wondering about that dream. This led to him staring. And staring. and staring.

"How inappropiate-roma." he finally snaps as he crosses his wings. "In front of royalty, too-roma!"

"We should go someplace else-roma!" the parrot insists.

Kanata merely blinks a bit still before he shakes his head and speaks. "I see." is all he says. That he understands. Does he approve? Well it's none of their business. Probably not.

His eyes drift down to the cast then back up. Kanata, a healer is not- and Haruka is already on the case of asking about it.

"I am... Kanata. This is. Haruka." he says, politely. Introductions should help, right?

Right?

"And this is Aroma."

"AND YOU ARE IMPROPER-ROMA!" points Aroma accusingly at Amu.

"Calm down." he offers. "It's okay." he says.

Aroma sort of crosses his wings and tilts his head away either embarrassed or huffily or a little of both.

Amu Hinamori has posed:
Amu Hinamori groaned and then, yes, an out! She looked up sheepishly. "Huh? Oh, yes. I am Nadeshiko-chan's best friend! Amu Hinamori, nice to meet you. I, err, I'm the joker. I... don't know if she mentioned me or--" And then the parrot. Started mocking her. She lowered her eyes. "I-I'm sorry... I uhhh... I'll err... I'd best get going on my run. B-bye." She turned to run off. Then realized her charas weren't there. What in the...

"Oh, Amu got rolled over by a three story tall doggy. It was very cute," Su said.

Miki and Ran, meanwhile... were in front of the parrot. Giving it the stink eye and considering doing horrible, awful things to it for making Amu feel bad. "Err... girls? Ummm, we're going?" Amu tried. As if they ever listened to her ANYWAY.

Haruka Haruno has posed:
Haruka spares a look for Aroma. "Remember when you upset Princess Serenity by getting huffy about dignity?" she asks. Just because Kanata is here doesn't change anything about it being Earth rules, not Hope Kingdom rules. "Earth has different rules, and what you're acting like is being the same kind of jerk that caused problems before Kanata got here." Making people feel bad because he doesn't seem to get in his feathery little brain that things are different on Earth is a definite problem, one even Siamour had words about.

"I'm Haruno Haruka, a student over at Verone Academy, and this is Prince Kanata of the Hope Kingdom. The fairy is Aroma, who seems to think yelling at people is the best way to get them to do what he wants."

Haruka gently interposes herself between Amu and escape, with a brief flick of a glance to Kanata and then the other obvious escape route. "I think he just forgot that charas are tied to their persons's dreams," she says in a significant tone, the same tone she uses on Momoka when she's being a brat. "Don't take him seriously, okay? It's nice to meet you, Amu." Haruka is now trying to do what would come naturally to her as Cure Flora.

Prince Kanata has posed:
Aroma has his arms crossed, eyes closed and opens his eyes when people accuse him of being rude and loud and yelling and--- there are two tiny girls giving him the stink eye. Eeeeeee! O.O;;.

He hides behind Kanata's shoulder now- in a 'get your dogs off me' look.

"I'll behave-roma! ;_;" he insists.

Kanata gives a defeated sigh as he he shakes his head. "Obviously. This means more lessons." he insists. Uh oh, he's bringing Miss Shamour into this later.

This makes Aroma hide further.

"The place we come from is more...'proper' with it's 'royalty' and Aroma sometimes forget Earth isn't like that at all. Though sometimes I forget Earth isn't like that all." Mister 'better go invite myself to the local Earth Prince immediately or else.'.

Amu Hinamori has posed:
Amu Hinamori sighed and gave a nod. "Don't worry. I uhhh... I've... met a lot of princes lately," she mumbled. Stillll couldn't look him in the eye. And was kind of looking off to the side, her cheeks just a tiny bit red. All three of her charas turned to her.

Miki just sighed. "Really? You already HAVE a prince of your own, Tadase-kun just had a nother breakdown because of this!" "I-I know I know I'm not, gahhhh!" And buried her face again and then focused on Haruka. Yes! Haruka. That was easy. Totally not crushing on her.

"I'm from seiyou academy, the joker of the guardians. Nice to meet you." Ran, meanwhile, was still giving the bird the eye. Just waiting for him to show his smart lil mouth again. Su giggled softly. "Yes, amu does need a healer. It's been very hard to do her guardian duties with a broken arm." "I've been making do. I even let Tadase-kun and Kukai-kun handle most of the fighting." "That's only because of what..." Miki trailed off. "The other incident." "Miki," Amu said firmly, glaring at her.

Prince Kanata has posed:
Aroma is hiding somewhere clinging to Kanata's back. Haruka can see this. If his eyes are closed. No one can see him! He's /sure of it/-roma.

Kanata meanwhile blinks a bit as he looks between the Charas, then back at Amu. He purses his lips.

These things seem. to. Speak their mind for their 'owner'?

Like. You don't have to wonder what someone is thinking because they just blurt it out.

He suddenly feels very lucky that Aroma or Pafu isn't like that.

"Oh? There is another Prince?" he asks about Tadase, ignoring the whole 'you have a prince of your own' and embarrassing internal thoughts the others are saying- to help Amu save face as politely as he can. Haruka would get the idea that's on purpose.

Haruka Haruno has posed:
Haruka snorts gently. "The difference is, you don't make other people feel bad about themselves when you forget, you just look silly." There's fondness in her voice and face, more than a touch of the kind of expression that might be familiar to Ran, Su, and Miki, if they're aware of how Amu looks when she's around Tadase. Her cheeks are even notably pink.

Notably, the expression turns vaguely-- thorny for a moment at the comment about people with crushes on Kanata, then relaxes. He's a fairy tale prince. Of course peope will. It doesn't make it sting any less, especially on hearing that Amu has her own prince to crush on.

And then the absurdity of the sheer amount of royalty she has met or heard of in Tokyo hits her full in the face, and she starts giggling. Especially because, as a princess (or princess in training), she only makes that problem worse. "Sorry-- I just... There's a lot of royalty in Tokyo--! Magical royalty!" And now she's wondering if there's a limit to how many princes and princesses a square kilometer can hold. It's silly.

Amu Hinamori has posed:
Amu Hinamori blushed and nodded. "Y-yeah. W-well, he's not a real prince. Officially. Tadase-kun. The prince of Seiyou." Aaaand there was a different blush on her cheeks now. A kind of... freamy blush. "He's wonderful. He's kind and sweet and loving and adorable and cute and amazing and--" Then froze, her cheeks going red.

"Puts up with you even with all your other crushes," Miki adds.

"Or your indesisiveness," Ran adds.

"But all of that is one of Amu-chan's cutest features!" Su says.

Amu groans. "They... aren't really with me," she said with a shake of her head. "In fact, you want one? I'll toss all three in for--" And they lunge on her, pinching and tugging on her cheeks. "YOU CAN'T SELL US!" they say in unison.

"Ow ow! I was joking!" She shakes her head then looks to Haruka again. "Wait. You, err, mean like an ACTUAL prince? Not a uhhhh... cute title?" Aaaaand her cheeks went redder.

Haruka Haruno has posed:
Haruka giggles a little and shakes her head. "Nope! Kanata and Aroma aren't from Earth at all," she says. Clearly the dynamic between Amu and her charas is very different from the one between Nagihiko and his. ...Well, slightly. "He just got to Earth recently, too." She Pointedly does not say why. He can explain that if he wants to.

"Um, Hinamori-san, can you do both of us a favor?" Haruka is suddenly serious-- and almost seems as if she's repeating something she's said a lot of times already. Probably because she has. She fishes her Dress Up Key out from where it's hiding, showing the small, pink dresslike key to Amu and her charas with an aura of seriousness. "If you see keys kind of like this, in blue or yellow, can you give the people who have them my number, or Kanata's?" She's got a business card in her hand with the key, and she offers it over. "I can write down Kanata's number on there too, but... I have something they need to have. I talked to Nadeshiko about what charas are, and... well, the dress up keys are sort of drawn to specific strong dreams, too. They're a set of three, but... the other two haven't showed up yet." And it's clear that the reminders that she's supposed to be part of a team are wearing on her, a bit, as she says this.

Prince Kanata has posed:
Hope Kanata nods. "Yes! Just a few days ago." he says with a soft series of nods. He doesn't go into why he's on Earth. Not in detail. No need to ruin people's days with the horrible fate of the Hope Kingdom. Nope.

He nods in agreement with Haruka. "Those other keys belong to the other two Princess Pretty Cure." he says. "They're prophesied to become the Grand Princesses that will save the Hope Kingdom." he says plainly.

That of course, includes Haruka.

Amu Hinamori has posed:
Amu Hinamori nodded and smiled. "Really? Real princesses? That's so wonderful!" she said with a little blush. "I guess I should have expected that, you're so pretty and all."

"You think every girl is pretty," Miki muttered. "It's amazing she never crushes on any of them," Ran adds. "She is just very generous," Su helps.

"... But really, they don't speak for me. They're just brats. If I see any keys like that I'll let you know, okay? I haven't before but... well... I do meet a lot of people, so maybe."

Haruka Haruno has posed:
Haruka freezes with a slight blush on her cheeks at that comment. Her!? Pretty!? But she's just a bud! She's not a fully-blossomed princess yet! Haruka self-consciously smooths down her hair. "Just like Ran, Miki, and Su are embodiments of your dreams, the Dress Up Key is mine," Haruka says. There's a moment of very soft-eyed fondness as she looks at Kanata. She can't think about getting her Key without him, and it shows.

"Thank you... the more people looking, the better it is for everyone from the Hope Kingdom. Even though I'm from Earth... I can't not care about what's happening there, too. Especially because their problem is coming here."

Prince Kanata has posed:
Kanata has a special attachment to Haruka's key. He found it. Then it led him to Earth. Then to Haruka. That was years ago- and now he's back. He hasn't given up.. or let himself become captured- or worse at least.

There's reasons for that and they go back to that key.

He keeps silently smiling at these thoughts however. Aroma is currently still hiding behind his back but he peeks up cautiously. Are the three scary tiny girls gone!?

Hopefully-roma!

Amu Hinamori has posed:
Amu Hinamori nodded. "I see. Do you need help? I'm able to purify if needed. I might not look it, but I uhhh... am getting a lot better at the whole... fighting thing. Except for giant dogs. No good at that."

She smiled at Haruka and gave her *that* smile. The 'I'm being completely honest, so trust me!' smile. "Oh, you're absolutely beautiful, you don't need to be worried. I bet you're an amazing princess."

Sadly, for the bird brained one, Ran was still there. Eying the bird. The moment his eyes peeped out SHE WAS THERE! Eyes inches from his. Making a gesture by pointing at her eyes, then him, then shaking her head and flying off. Stars help him if he made a comment.

Nadeshiko Fujisaki has posed:
Follow, follow, follow. Sneak, sneak.

He'd spotted Amu running. With a broken(ish?) arm.

But, well, the sun's too bright for him to just run around all willy nilly, because sunburns sucks under makeup and he has a performance soon.

Finally, though.

He leans over her shoulder, wrapping his arms around her like a best friend would. "Do you really think running around's a good idea? Your arm might fall off."

Rhythm pops up from...somewhere. "Crankybird-san!" His greeting is, despite the name, genuinely happy.

Temari joins Su, Miki, and Ran, and while the bird may not as much in the dog house (bird nest?) with her as he is them, she's still got a suspicious eye on him. Mostly in case he's a butt to Rhythm.

"Ah, I see you met Haruka-chan! Hello!" The sparkles aren't done on purpose. Or maybe they are, hello Kanata! "Amu-chan is right. You're very beautiful!"

Oh yeah, it'd been done on purpose.

Haruka Haruno has posed:
Haruka had been reassured by Usagi about her suitability to be a princess. That was one thing. It was an entire flipping other to be told she was beautiful by what amounted to an almost-complete stranger. Her face reddens, and she tucks the Dress Up Key away. "I- I- Um- I- Thank you?" Her tone is unsure, awkward- and she's mentally kicking herself.

If she had a chara, they would probably be telling her how clumsy that was. Even as Cure Flora, she'd take it better.

It doesn't help that Nagihiko has just shown up, getting a startled yelp from her. "F-Fujisaki-san!" she says. Very clearly he's Nagihiko today, which... complicates things. "This is Prince Kanata! He's from the Hope Kingdom, and-" Haruka gestures inarticulately, trying to imply 'there is history here' with her hands. "We... I guess you could say we go a long way back."

Prince Kanata has posed:
Aroma watches Rhythm appear and he goes. "First these three now the other one-roma. My luck is so unlucky today-roma!" he laments. Kanata sighs. Butler birds will be butt-ler birds, always, apparently.

He watches Amu call Haruka beautiful. He looks to Haruka. Yes. She is. But. Does he need to say it?...

Oh god. He doesn't know!

Think Kanata, think!

Oh, Nagihiko arrives before he has to answer, thank god. "Hello." he says to Nagi. "How are you?" he asks with a sincere smile as best as he can. Because it distracts from the other thing he was thinking about.

Amu Hinamori has posed:
Amu Hinamori shrieked and shrieked and did I mention shriek? "N-n-n-n-nagihiko-kun!" she flailed about wildly, her cheeks bright red and he was on her and he was hugging her and oh my gosh her heart was exploding.

Miki just gave Nagi a 'really?' look.

Amu calmed down and was now just standing there, her cheeks flaming red and steam rising off it. Oh, there was no doubt SHE had it bad. She just kind of squeaked and leaned into the hug, her eyes getting a little closed. Oh, she could smell his hair, too. It was so soft. That gentle perfume he wore and...

See, this was why Tadase had issues.

Nadeshiko Fujisaki has posed:
Rhythm looks around for Pafu and sighs. The maid fairy had liked hugs! Oh well, cranky birds are still good! He floats to sit next to Aroma, big cheesy grin on his face.

At least he didn't hug him.

His blush and large sweat drop were very genuine. "Ahh, sorry, sorry, Amu-chan."

The next few moments are spent trying to poke hearing back in his ears. "Next time I'll wear a skirt."

Finger still in ear, he grins a Haruka, and then that grin turns sly as he makes dots and connections. Kanata, huh? He doesn't remember if names were spoken, but the cues are the same.

"I'm good. The hearing loss is temporary. Oh, thank you for helping me with the bed sheets."

Oh crap. Now that he hadn't meant to sound like anything. More blushing. "Ah, I mean, Kukai liked them, like you said he would."

Haruka Haruno has posed:
Hah! Amu flailing gives Haruka a chance to cool her blushes. At least Kanata will not have to worry about Haruka having a crush on every boy (and possibly girl...?) the way Tadase does. "You're good at being sneaky," Haruka says instead. Really lucky she wasn't transformed just then, or Earth might have gained a very small, temporary, floral satellite.

"Um, Fujisaki-san, do you want to take this somewhere with more shade?" She remembers him mentioning something about sunburn under makeup, and she thinks she remembers a park bench table thing nearby, under some trees. It might help him be more comfortable, especially since this has rapidly become not a run at all.

At least he's being open about the skirts thing. "Rhythm, where's my hug?" Haruka asks, trying to distract herself from how awkward Nagihiko got in a few moments. After a minute, she cools her own blush at the awkwardness. "My dad gets really silly about getting Mom presents, so I'm used to people being kind of... silly about gifts sometimes. My dad has to have maple somewhere in the family tree, because of how sappy he gets." It's a plant pun. From the princess of flowers.

Prince Kanata has posed:
Kanata seems unaware of any issues Tadase has, he just softly looks between Amu and Nagi a moment as he purses his lips. Nagihiko gets a sly smile. He catches it. Huh?

Yeah he's clueless.

Was. Was that a plant pun. He does laugh at this. Not a full on belly laugh, but it elicits and a laugh and and smile.

Aroma keeps his wings crossed as he sits on Kanata's shoulder and gives Rhythm the STINKSIDEYE.

If Kanata noticed the mention about skirts, or cared about it- he gives no external expression to it.

"Oh. Are you related to. Haruka's other friend? The one with two dreams?" he asks to Nagihiko.

Afterall, the mention Nadeshiko Fujisaki. Not Nagihiko.

"What kind of sheets did you decide on?" he casually asks. "The ones in my hotel room are kind of scratchy." he insists.

Smash cut to Pafu vigorously applying ALL THE FABRIC SOFTNER to the sheets, wholesale. BEST MAID. BEST MAID. BEST MAID SCREW THESE HACK HOTEL HOUSEKEEPERS!

Amu Hinamori has posed:
Amu Hinamori was currently being hugged by Nagi. Was still in BSOD mode. Ran moved to Rythm and, ofcourse, started trying to play tag with him. Because, hey, Rhythm and kukai's chara were her favorite. Su, meanwhile, moved to Nagi's other chara. Offered her a cupcake. Where the little chara sized cupcakes came from, no one would ever now.But they were cute and delicious. That chara was su's favorite.

No one knew who miki's favorite was... dun dun dun.

Nadeshiko Fujisaki has posed:
Aroma's stinkeye gets an even broader grin and two thumbs up! And then!!! "YAY!"

He zooms to Haruka, splatting against the side of her face. And then Ran is there, and tag is on!

Su's offer of a cupcake douses the fire of ire swirling around Temari, along with mental thoughts along the lines of 'I will pluck that bird and cook him for dinner just keep giving my brother that look!' Apply cupcake, and she's polite and demure again, bringing a tea set from somewhere in one of her sleeves.

"I'm good at sneaky. But Amu-chan's good at being distracted enough for me not to have to be." He gives a blink of surprise before offering a sheepish grin and a pleased little blush. "Ah, yes please. I have a performace in a few days. Sun's not the best for that, thank you for thinking of me."



To Kanata! "Nadeshiko? Yes. You could say our dreams are as...similar as we are."

Nagihiko hums and rubs his chin. "I got him egyptian cotton. Thread count's ridiculous. Some ridiculous pillows. I'm considering also getting him a mattress pad. That boy doesn't sleep enough as it is. When he does, he needs to be on clouds."

Apparently, Haruka's dad isn't the only sappy one...

By this point, he's stepped enough away from Amu to allow a brain reboot, but really only because he's inching toward the shadey bench.

Haruka Haruno has posed:
Haruka laughs, leaning her head in as an awkard reciprocation of the hug. "Um-- you could say he is." Not a lie, exactly! But also not her secret to tell. "I just remembered that you mentioned sunburns under makeup suck, is all." There are flashes of the princess she will be in this, flashes of a princess who is a gracious host and thinks of the needs of her guests. They're clumsy, but present.

"I sleep like a rock." There's a glare for Aroma, daring him to comment on how well Haruka sleeps. "But... well, sometimes people get silly about buying things for people they love." ...and need their own daughters to sort them out.

Prince Kanata has posed:
Hope Kanata keeps on smiling. He follows along to the shaded area. Aroma is about to open his mouth when Haruka gives a glare. And then there's those three girl fairys. And now this other one and now it's /4 to 1/ odds.

So he just crosses his wings and hrmphs.

Maybe he's going to wake Haruka up with a tiny trumpet tommrow morning. Yup. That's happening.

Totally happening now.

Kanata speaks up. "Perhaps I'll look into them, then." he says.

"Though. Hopefully I won't have to stay in the hotel too much longer. A hotel is not very much a home. But it beats well."

"What I was doing before." he says.

Sleeping in damn grottos never getting enough of it. Because nowhere is safe.

"Yes, they do." he says. "I'm not very good at choosing gifts." he admits. "But giving material goods has never been my forte." he says.

He looks back to Nagi. "Is she going to be okay?" he finally asks about Amu's BSODlike state.

Amu Hinamori has posed:
Amu Hinamori finally manages to reboot as they head towards the bench. What was going on? Oh, right! Say something! "I like sheets too!" she said, emphatically. Listen, you try being fast on your feet when you just rebooted.

Ran ran from Rhythm and... to the poor birds likely horror, used HIM as terrain to duck around and avoid being tagged back. Su, meanwhile, enjoyed her tea. Miki drew pictures of rhythm... running...Her cheeks were a lil red too.

Amu sat down and gave a little yawn. Occasionally glancing back over to nagi and blushing. Because of course she did. She leanedforward a little after a bit though, her eyes drifting a little. Her charas glanced over suddenly, eying her a bit.

Nadeshiko Fujisaki has posed:
Poor Aroma.

But really, Rhythm hasn't tried to hug him yet. Anyone who knows the newest little chara would probably blink at this. (And of course, next time he sees Kunzite, while Temari swoons quietly, Rhythm wll proudly tell him how many people he didn't zoom up to hug!)

And if he spied Miki's drawing, he totally wouldn't get why she was blushing and saw how awesome she captured his likeness!

Before Nagihiko sits, he looks back at Amu and sighs. He guides her over to the bench and hopefully what he does next is enough to shock her coherent enough to make the walk to the bench. "Amu-chan," Nadeshiko says quietly in her ear. "You're gonna fall asleep on yoru feet, and then I'll have to carry you~!"

"She'll be fine. She's just being stubborn lately with not...resting as much." And stuff. Because he's gorgeous.

Haruka Haruno has posed:
Haruka sits down- it's lucky she didn't hear Kanata's comment, or she might try to set him straight and end up turning red. Instead, she ends up looking at Amu with evident concern. "...If it's too much of a problem, I could probably transform and take her somewhere where she can nap," Haruka says quietly. It'd probably even be less likely to jar Amu's arm!

Haruka makes a face at Nagihiko's statement, then at Amu. Not that she's been much better, but at least she's taken time to sleep!

Prince Kanata has posed:
Amu frees herself from her BSOD like state with 'I like Sheets, too!'. Well. That wasn't a very graceful save, but he doesn't say anything about it. Aroma is being a grumpy gus. Super grumpy gus still.

When Kanata watches Haruka offer to transform and take Amu somewhere to nap, he seems to agree with this fact.

"If she's that tired, she should sleep." he offers to Amu.

"I imagine your arm's condition hasn't been helping." he offers concerned.

Amu Hinamori has posed:
Amu Hinamori blushed and squeaked, moving to sit by him and occasionally looking over and going red and oh my gosh why was he so CUTE! "I just haven't been sleeping well," She lied, her eyes lowered before yawning into her hand. "Arm acts up at night and ummm, keeps waking me up. That's all." Liar. Such a liar. She hadn't even been doing class too well, either. Falling asleep a few times in it. "I'll just get a coffee or something on the way home and I'll be fine." "You know, poor sleeping habits can make you fat," Miki added. "That's not true!" Amu snapped. Then blinked and looked to Nagi. "Is it?"

She then shook her head. "I'm fine, really. I haven't let it come between me and any of my duties, have I? I'm still purifying eggs and such when needed." "You also fell asleep in the middle of that test," Su mumbled softly. "And at lunch," Miki added. "And failed to run your full mile in gym," There goes ran, the trifecta. She sighed. "I'm fine, I can handle it."

Nadeshiko Fujisaki has posed:
He arched an eyebrow at her. "Mmm-hmmm."

He considers Miki's statement and Amu's question for a moment. "Well, a continual lack of sleep can affect your metabolism, but I wouldn't go that far. Besides, even if it did, you're still growing."

He's gonna have to talk to Amu later...stubborn, stubborn!

To prove his point, he looks at Amu and gives a looooooong yawn.

"Yeah, I think instead of running, you should come over. You could lounge in the media room and doze while we watch horrible movies on TV?"

He looks up at the other two, a sheepish grin. "Sorry. Imay have to steal her away from you two. But Haruka-chan, you do still have my number?"

Amu Hinamori has posed:
Amu Hinamori nodded and then, it was a sign of how tired she was that she didn't object. "Yeah, sure. Horror movies sound good." All of her charas look worried then as she took his hand and let him lead her off.

She must have been really tired.
