[ Monday afternoon. they've had enough time to recover from their latest training session -- Haruka's back is just a little sore -- and she supposes she did promise, or at least, allude to being willing to consider it.

so here she is in Michiru's apartment again, still unchanged from her school uniform, bag slung over her shoulder, about to have her portrait painted. she didn't really feel any particular need to do herself up for the occasion, and maybe she should have, but hey-- if Michiru expected that much of her, she should've gone ahead and said it.

Haruka glances around. not uncertain, of course, just unfamiliar with the workings of this whole thing. ]

So, how are we going to do this?

LMFAO they were pretty unfortunate sorry

[elegy]

[ Haruka can't joke about it - and Michiru almost starts to. So you would understand if I fall in love and run away in the middle of it; that would just sound cruel. Unnecessary. ]

I can pack up the rest of this for you to take home, if you'd like.

no one should have to bear the woes of the terrible icons that dw picks for you

[sexuallyconfuses]

You're spoiling me. I have food at my house, too, you know.

[ not that she doesn't want it -- quite the opposite, actually -- she just doesn't want to come off as needy, as someone to be cared for. ]

why is the kitten biting me :(

[elegy]

I wasn't trying to imply that you didn't.

[ Michiru shakes her head subtly, smiling just the littlest bit. ]

I'll be out all day tomorrow and the next. I'll go bad if it just sits here.

have you tried feeding it this past week

[sexuallyconfuses]

Sure, then. I'll take it. [ like she's the one doing Michiru a favor. ] What'll you be doing?

you're supposed to do that monthly right?

[elegy]

I've got two concerts. Well-- a recital, and a concert that I'm attending.

[ And she's equally excited about them both. ]

i think so but only with the flesh of freshly murdered virgins

[sexuallyconfuses]

Sounds nice. [ she chases a piece of carrot around the edges of the bowl with her spoon. ] Oh yeah, isn't the Philharmonic playing this week?

OH that's what I'm doing wrong

[elegy]

[ And Michiru can't even pretend to not light up a little. ]

Yes! [ She hadn't expected Haruka to know, for some reason. ] That's where I'm going.

YOU'RE WELCOME

[sexuallyconfuses]

Heh. [ Michiru's cute when she gets enthusiastic. ] Have fun. Ever been before?

LMAO

[elegy]

Not for years.

[ ... casual, Michiru. Casual. ]

I have an extra ticket, if you know of anyone who'd be interested in going.

[sexuallyconfuses]

The people I know aren't really interested in that sort of thing. [ a beat ] Though I've been thinking that I'd like to go sometime.

[elegy]

Well, you're more than welcome along, if you think you have something to wear.

[sexuallyconfuses]

[ she ignores that subtle jab at her wardrobe, feeling little need to acknowledge it when she has more tuxedos than you can sneeze at. ] Sure. Should be fun.

[elegy]

[ And all of Michiru's excitement at that reveal is masked into a tiny, tiny quirk of her lip. ]

I'll write the address down for you.

[sexuallyconfuses]

Go ahead.

[elegy]

[ Michiru deftly packs up the rest of the dinner, writes the address down for Haruka, tucks it into the package. ]

I'll show you the finished painting when you pick me up tomorrow evening?

[ You are the one with the car, after all, Haruka. ]

[sexuallyconfuses]

[ she's hardly going to object. it's more than fair. ] Sounds good to me.

[elegy]

[ And Michiru will just walk her to the door eeee look it's almost a date, how cute. ]

[sexuallyconfuses]

Thanks for today. [ she raises a hand in a half-wave. ] See you.

[ and she's off. ]
