Silver ice storm (Ami thread, Lime warning)

[Anastasia]

As the other three head off, Viluy stops slightly. "Haruka," she says softly, giving you a good look. "Ah....you don't look like you' are having fun,"s he says diplomatically. "If you want...we've seen her now, if you really wish to go."

[Liddo-kun]

Haruka pauses at Viluy's prompt.  "I didn't know you were supposed to have 'fun' in this type of situation," she replies, chuckling a smidge nervously, wondering if another tiff was on the horizon.  "Don't get me wrong though, it's not as if I didn't want to see her.  It was nice to see her doing better, but... yeah."

"Did you want to spend more time with them Viluy or did you want to take your leave as well?" she asks.

[Anastasia]

"We can go."

With those three words, Viluy smiles slightly. "I'm just glad she's alright...I was really worried about her, Haruka. If she wasn't, it would have made that fight so much more meaningless."

[Liddo-kun]

"I know what you mean," Haruka says, then sighs.  "Physically she might be relatively okay now, but next she has to overcome the guilt that's gnawing away at her."

"I mean did you hear her comment just before the Professor wheeled her outside?" she asks Viluy incredulously.  "She said we were going to dump her in the snow to freeze."  Haruka shakes away the thought.

"The Professor and Ami are with her now so it's okay, but we'll have to make sure to give her company and someone to talk to.  I don't want her to do anything... silly after everything we've all been through together."

Yet another sighs leaves Haruka's lips.  "Anyway... let's just walk around for a bit.  I need to clear my head and we don't know where the Twins are anyway."  Then with a shrug, "Maybe we'll even stop in the music room and get to starting you on your lessons," she teases.

[Anastasia]

"Yes...she has many negative feelings to resolve," Viluy agrees, turning to stare at the retreating trio. Smiling ever so slightly again, almost a twitch of her lips instead of a real expression of joy, "I think that...if she's supported, that she'll be safe."

Stopping to face you now, "And...I'd like that, Haruka," Viluy smiles more, her mood loosening. "We've been putting those off, haven't we?"


OOC - A post or two more, then a thread split for the AMAZING DUO?

---

Miss Nakahime is quiet as you begin to head back, head bowed. Her mood seems introspective as she studies her hands. "Why wasn't I cold," she asks quietly, breaking the reverie that had settled in. "I...I thought Celcia was gone...

Or," she frowns, "I suppose that nothing like that would be cold after her..."

[Bean Bandit]

Ami glances at the professor, then coughs lightly. "Celcia -is- gone." She assures the woman quickly, and gently. "But there were some...lingering effects from the time you hosted her."

[Anastasia]

"Yes...we'll discuss that momentarily," Professor Tomoe agrees with Ami, as you get in a near elevator and help up. "I do not believe there is anything from this that will outright hurt you based on the evidence so far."

"I see..." she murmurs, shivering now, and likely not from the cold.

[Bean Bandit]

Ami rests her hand on Miss Nakahime's shoulder gently. "You don't have anything to worry about." she smiles, trying to appear reassuring, despite her uneasiness with the role. "Like the Professor said, we haven't found anything directly harmful to you, and we're here to help, whatever happens."

[Anastasia]

"Mmmm..." she nods, as you get out of the elevator after your short trip. Professor Tomoe pats her on the shoulder as well, and you head into his office. Once everyone is seated, he begins. "As you noticed....it's well below freezing outside, yet you weren't cold at all.

Miss Nakahime...Nagoya, isn't it? As it stands, I believe that Celcia's presence and actions have left permanent alterations on your body. That's the gist of it, though it entails far more."

[Bean Bandit]

Ami nods absently in agreement, but essentially turns the floor over to the professor. After all, his was the most in depth examination...and coming from a fully grown man, reassurances and explanations would likely carry more weight.

[Anastasia]

The woman nods simply, recalling the cold that she didn't feel.

"Now...as you are at least aware on some level...bluntly, magic exists. Celcia is-was, was a spirit of ice and cold. There are also the Sailor Senshi who rescued you, and myriad other things such as that. By your misfortune, you've seen a side of the world many people don't know about, or refuse to admit lives side by side with the more 'normal' world." Taking a breath after that minature speech, he pauses for remarks.

"I can't deny that," she agrees simply, looking up to the Professor.  "I certainly can't..."

Nodding understandingly, "That will make things easier. Celcia...in preparation to take over your body, or so we estimate, she initiated changes to your DNA through her sorcery. We aren't entirely sure to the extent of the manipulation, but your resistance to the chill is one of them."

"...I see..." she says again,s haking her head. "What of the others? I..."

[Bean Bandit]

Ami folds hands in her lap, nodding along with the explanation. Seeing her taking in the information so well, Ami smiles slightly, and simply listens, wishing every responsibility was this simple to deal with.

[Liddo-kun]

"Well, we HAVE been busy after all," Haruka replies with a chuckle, thiking now of how active the life of a senshi had been of late.  "It's just as well though," she begins with a shrug, "making you wait before I show you my talent and skills make for good build up."

[Anastasia]

"It's possible that you will show signs of aptitude with controlling ice and cold, and perhaps other abilities along those lines. Unfortunately, we won't be certain. The matter at hand can only be fully accessed with more direct testing."

Miss Nakahime nods again. "I understand," she says quietly. "I...I'll be like that terrible woman was with ice?"

OOC - I'm goiing to make your new thread next, plushie. No need to make this any messier.

[Bean Bandit]

Ami nods slowly. "And like myself." She offers, giving the woman a less odious object for comparision and a shy smile.
