Knowing that Hiiragi was probably broken up a good bit was Elena's cue to try and cheer her up. In one of the best ways she knew how, ice cream. Ice cream solved everything, really, it did. Because who wouldn't want to eat ice cream at a time like this?

Having but the container in a bag along with some spoons she had made her way out, not bothering to leave a note of where she was heading. Though once she made it to the door of Ci-Enas the bag was shifted to knock on the door. Three short knocks. "Hiiragi?"

[peachblossomfan]

Figuring that Elena knew she was both welcome and expected, Hiiragi didn't bother answering. She didn't fully trust her voice, afraid that if she tried to say anything, she'd burst into tears.

[rookie_withbell]

Upon not being answered she just sighed a little, this was a worse sign than she was hoping for. But, checking the door and seeing that she could get inside, she let herself in. And began poking her head into the two rooms to find where she was.

And once that was completed she tried to put on her most cheery tone, "I brought ice cream!~"

[peachblossomfan]

Hiiragi glanced up at the sound of Elena's voice and tried to muster up a smile. The result looked as phony as a three dollar bill. Hiiragi gave the teddy bear a tight squeeze and took a deep breath to try to get her emotions back under control. "Thanks," she managed in her normal voice rather than her regular falsetto.

[rookie_withbell]

So it was just as bad as she'd expected, really. "Some ice cream should make you feel a little better..." Her voice was kept rather level, taking a seat next to her and setting the bag between them. "Well, I didn't know what you'd want but I got vanilla anyway."

[peachblossomfan]

Leaning over, Hiiragi rested her head against Elena's shoulder. It was nice having someone else in the room, even if it wasn't Tamaki. "Vanilla's fine..."

[rookie_withbell]

Quite gladly she'd allow her to do so, shifting a little to give her a bit of a one-armed hug. "Good. Also, no being a pouty pants on me~"

[peachblossomfan]

Hiiragi made a sound in the back of her throat that clearly indicated she wasn't going to promise any such thing. As far as she was concerned, she had more than enough right to be a "pouty pants."

[rookie_withbell]

Not the answer she wanted! With a fake pout she moved her hand again, trying to look a little upset. But that was a hard thing to hold up. "Well if you won't promise me..."

[peachblossomfan]

Hiiragi glared and pulled away from Elena. "If Tseng had gone, promising something like that wouldn't make you feel better..."

[rookie_withbell]

Okay, didn't quite work as she'd wanted it to. "Hiiragi, look, it was a joke. I'm just playing with you a little. Get your mind off of this for just a little while..."

[peachblossomfan]

That settled Hiiragi down quickly. She didn't have it in her to be mad for long, especially not at Elena. "Sorry," she mumbled, burying her face back against the bear.

[rookie_withbell]

What else could she do to try and help? Ah, she knew! Giggling a little to herself she shifted around to put herself behind Hiiragi, deciding to try and play with her hair a little bit. "Now, how about you start on that ice cream, huh? I think I can keep myself amused for a little while."

[peachblossomfan]

Hiiragi looked through the bag until she found the spoons. Then she started eating the ice cream straight out of the carton. One need not concern themselves with being ladylike when upset.

[rookie_withbell]

Elena hadn't expected for her to care about being ladylike about it anyway, she knew she wouldn't have cared in this situation. "You know. You have some really nice hair."

[peachblossomfan]

Hiiragi relaxed a little and managed a faint smile. She always had liked people playing with her hair, but not many ever did. "Thanks, Elena. You do too."

Scooping out another spoonful of ice cream, Hiiragi half-turned and offered it to Elena. "Don't expect me to eat all this myself..."
