Silver ice storm (Ami thread, Lime warning)

[Liddo-kun]

"Yes, yes, I'm coming," Haruka replies.

She wasn't sure if she was imagining things or not, but Viluy seemed to be... annoyed with her.  Perhaps upset might've been a better term.

I wonder what I did now... she asks herself with a slight sigh.

[Anastasia]

One super magical teleport, coming up!

If you're life was any stranger, you're sure you'd have some cute animal popping up to say that right now. As it stands, Ptilol and Cyprine simply nod agreement. Moments later, Viluy's comfortable house is replaced with the underground abode of the Witches.

Viluy takes a moment to stretch and nod, as the Twins simply revanish, off to whatever it is they do.

[Liddo-kun]

The slight disorientation that follows the teleport fades, leaving a weighty silence.  Growing rather uncomfortable, Haruka searched for the voice to break the stalemate when Viluy suddenly asks, "Shall we get going then?"

A slight blink and a nod later on her part saw them off on their little journey, but the internal musings about what might be bugging the girl was quickly festering into worry.

Haruka studies her walking partner's manner and appearance from the corner of her eye, trying to discern something, anything, about what might be bothering her so.

Mentally throwing her hands up in defeat at being discreet, she pushes aside her hesitancy and asks, "Is something bothering you, Viluy?"

[Anastasia]

Viluy takes a few steps before replying, face hidden from Haruka via being ahead.

Isn't it obvious? Damn, Haruka..

"Nothing," is her sally back to you. "Maybe I'm still tired from our adventure a few days ago. Let's just go see how she's doing."

[Liddo-kun]

Oh for the love of... Haruka begins to growl mentally before cutting herself off.  She schools her feature and opts to simply follow Viluy wordlessly, letting the girl lead the way.

We were doing so well this morning, and now?  Haruka casts her gaze towards the green-haired girl as a myriad of emotions washes across her face.  Why can't things just be simple between us?

[Anastasia]

It's not much farther, at least, the walk in silence. On entering, you find Miss Nakahime in a carried down cot, hooked up to an IV machine and a few other, more exotic devices. Sitting at  a chair near a control consol is Professor Tomoe, suppresing a yawn as you arrive.

"Girls," he comments, rising. "She's doing better and should wake soon enough, with any fortune."

To this, Viluy smiles, heading over. "That's excellent news,"s he comments, kneeling next to the cot.

[Liddo-kun]

Haruka nods to the Professor in greeting, before making her way to where Miss Nakahime is still resting.  She was still kicking around the feeling of annoyance, but for the time being, she let the issue sleep.

[Anastasia]

Viluy checks the woman's forehead and breath, noting her still pale color. "She looks a bit better," Viluy agrees, speaking to Professor Tomoe from her position.

He nods, "She is. As I said...she'll walk soon enough, I'm certain. Though, if you're here...." Rising, "Excuse me. While I have the chance, I need to go get something from my office."

[Anastasia]

The time passes, silence falling over the pair as Viluy studies the victim of Celcia's attack and Haruka simply watches.

Tenseness slowly sets in at this lull, unspoken words and thoughts simmering..or is that all in the mind? An interesting question, perhaps, but one that shall have to wait for another time.

Entering in, Professor Tomoe comes back with another visitor: The Sailor of Ice and Water, Ami-chan.

[Bean Bandit]

Ami enters on the professor's heels...and into a strangely quiet room. Something hasn't gone wrong, has it? She wonders anxiously, looking to the pair of her friends watching over the Celcia's victim.

[Liddo-kun]

Haruka holds one arm across her chest, while the other rests atop it as she cups her cheek.  This pose was just one of many that she'd been switching to amid the rather uncomfortable... silence that had settled.

Glancing lazily across, she catches sight of Ami and the Professor entering the room.  "Yo," she greets, using the hand that was on her cheek to wave now instead at the pair.

I hope the mood lightens up in here now... Haruka prayed, letting show a grateful smile at their timely entrance.

[Bean Bandit]

Ami peeks out from behind the professor and steps out, smiling a little shyly and waving. "Umu...Hello. How are you feeling, Haruka?" she asks concernedly.

[Anastasia]

Professor Tomoe heads over to Miss Nakahime as Ami chats, checking on the woman's condition.

"Hello, Ami," Viluy greets the Senshi of Ice normally enough. "Are you feeling better today?"

[Liddo-kun]

"You don't need to worry.  I might still be a smidge tired, but it's nothing a little sleep and food can't fix," Haruka replies to Ami's question, waving off her concerns casually.

On hearing Viluy address Ami now, she finds that she can't help but cast a curious glance in their direction.  She had a gnawing worry about how the exchange was going to shake out.

Geez.  I hope she's not going to fall into judicator mode and give Ami the third degree, Haruka thinks to herself, splitting her gaze between the pair of girls.

[Bean Bandit]

Ami nods flashing a quick, small smile and nod to Haruka before turning to Viluy and nodding again. "Mm." She confirms. "Thanks to everyone else." she adds sheepishly.
