[godbent]

[Voice]

...Huh, so I guess that's over now. I actually liked that one, being super was really cool! [Sigh] Well, whatever

[She had planned to initiate conversation much earlier, but March...well, that was rather stressful.

But there's Haruhi, calling for her over the journals. Fair enough. Perhaps this is a better situation than having to strong-arm her way through it.]

Of course! Where would you like to talk, Haru-chan?

[voice/filter]

[godbent]

[She wants to just say on these books because today is her date day, but... Winry shouldn't be awake for another hour or two, right? Or if that fails it could be tonight or tomorrow. Nngh.]

Dunno. You got anywhere in mind?

[voice/filter]

[flower_of_hell]

Not really. I don't want to take up too much of your time, though. Haru-chan is busy today, right? Right?

[Because Rena is aware it's Sunday, and it's hard not to notice that Haruhi is always busy on Sunday.]

[Her mind immediately tries to think of neutral ground. The Brigade is her's, House 10 is her's, the place Rena stays is... well, both that and Minato's are Keiichi's. Rena owns that treehouse, so...

Oh, duh]

How about All Passions? We can sit on that little swing Shiki's got up.

[flower_of_hell]

That sounds nice! Do you want to go now? Oh, oh, have you eaten yet, Haru-chan? Rena could make you something...

[She has a feeling this isn't just a light-hearted chat, simply because of outside circumstances, but Rena will keep the mood soft as long as she can.]

Unless you got taiyaki sitting around I'm good. [...] And later today - let's shoot for like four.

[voice/filter]

[flower_of_hell]

Okay. I'll see you later then, Haru-chan.

[...Of course, by then, she'll be feeling a little awkward considering Keiichi's slightly upsetting return, but nevermind that.]

[->action]

[godbent]

[As will Haruhi, because you know... she talked to him too. But her reaction was ragequitting on him. She will be waiting at the swing though.]

[action]

[flower_of_hell]

[So she sees when she arrives! But instead of announcing her arrival, Rena just decides to perch herself right up next to Haruhi. The weather's nice. It's not a bad time to enjoy it.]

[action]

[godbent]

[...Oh. Haruhi glances over, but doesn't give a greeting, mostly because Rena didn't. Instead, she just starts to rock the swing a little]

[action]

[flower_of_hell]

[Rena just rolls with it, kicking the swing off with the balls of her feet every time they graze against the ground.

It's a nice feeling, barring the fragile sort of peace that is settling down in the air. Like the sort of thing she would do a home. Of course, there's no going back to that place, but...

Nevermind that.]

[action]

[godbent]

[She'll just... wait on Rena to start talking for now. She just rocks, because she's not really sure where to start right now. Maybe she'll eventually give in and start to hum, but]

[action]

[flower_of_hell]

[She's perfectly content to sit in silence for now. But eventually-]

It's been kind of hectic, hasn't it?

[action]

[godbent]

...Yeah, I guess that's one way to put it.

[And then she stops putting momentum into the swinging. It'll still rock a while of course, but]

[action]

[flower_of_hell]

[There's a noncommittal noise from her, and she falls silent again until the swing comes to a stop.]

What should we talk about, Haru-chan?

[action]

[godbent]

...I dunno. [Keiichi comes to mind, but with this bigass delay and him coming back weird, it's hard to just...]
