[Action: Locked to Sora

It's been a long two days for Sora. Since Kamille ran off down in Old Seattle, she'd been looking back over what she said, and feeling bad about how she'd treated him. And so she'd been sitting in the arboretum most of that time, pondering. 'I don't normally act like that at all... I was teasing him all day over nothing. What's wrong with me...?' And the whole time, she remembered something she'd written before. 'Am I... no, it can't be, can it? Me, with him?'The day of the mission, when the battle was raging down in the city, Sora was still on the Chalice, trying to put herself back together. It wasn't like she could talk to anyone about this. Hana? Her relationship with Eri wasn't exactly normal. Eri? They just weren't that close. Seiren? Not in her current state. Laura? No, she'd never get advice from her ever again, would she

[zetahatsudo]

Kamille was getting close. He could feel it. A comforting presence had entered his mind's eye, and the shouts of stupidity at himself were being dialed down, though he had no idea what attributed to the calmness. As the presence became closer to him, he felt himself getting closer to that zen state he was trying so desperately to achieve. He was incredibly close, ridiculously so, he could almost SEE Nirvana, his mantra of washing the same dish in a circular motion becoming frantic in pace.

Then it stopped. The presence was close to him, but it wasn't getting closer. The sudden departure from movement caused Kamille to slip, the dish falling from his hands and crashing with a loud clang. "OH FOR FUCK'S-" He turned, seeing someone he both really wanted to see, and at the same time, never wanted to be near again. The tightness in his chest had returned, just as bad as when they were in Old Seattle. "S-Sora...!" Oh god, what was he supposed to say? What could he say? He ran away from her for god's sake!

[sunshine_maiden]

She'd felt like a mess this whole time, and yet when she'd finally seen him, all the dread and the pain had just melted away. And then he'd yelled at her, seemingly without realizing it, and it all came back full force. Had she done something else, without knowing, when she'd come here to set things straight? But even as she worried about it... she'd made her oath. "Kamille, I..." She could feel herself seizing up, but... she had to be stronger than that.

"I'm sorry!" She caught herself trying to bow in apology, and let it go; who cared if it wasn't the right custom anymore, it felt right to her.

[zetahatsudo]

What.

This... was not what he had expected. At all. Hell, he thought she'd be furious with her. "S-sora, what are you saying?" He walked over to the girl, knealing to get face level with her. "I-I'm the one who should be apologizing to you! I ran away from you for crying out loud, what are you apologizing for?"

Hana, for the most part, actually had a good time in Old Seattle. Helped that she wasn't part of the confusion of monsters, tiny robots and something about "Girlfriend Kita"

Hence, Hana making the turn into the kitchen in a happy mood...

...only to stop and catch Kamille and Sora in the middle of a make out session. Kamille, one of her earliest suitors and Sora, one of her new friends.

Together.

Excuse her, her brain's going to reboot while she processes this.

Kamille's eye were closed as he kissed Sora, so he didn't notice anything amiss when Hana entered. Perhaps the girl in his arms would notice something?

[sunshine_maiden]

Nope. Not at all. Sora's a little more concerned with these wonderful feelings and all. Perhaps if Hana made a noise before she left, but that aside... nope, didn't notice at all.

[wimpy_cure_ever]

Hana's gonna keep standing there. Rebooting... rebooting... done.

"Meep."

Still broken, but she made a noise! That's good for something, right?

2 have a Seiren before Laura got back

[minorbeat]

(Seiren appears behind Kamille and Sora. The air around her is cold and sharp like a knife. Seiren's face is stoic but her eyes are seem to drill into you both.)

...Bidan...Myoudouin.

[sunshine_maiden]

Sora just... stops. She doesn't have to see Seiren to feel her presence just now, and all her happy thoughts have just dulled. Rather quickly, as she breaks apart from Kamille with a sudden fear in her heart, turning to face the threat at hand.

"...Seiren."

[zetahatsudo]

Kamille's frozen. "Kono Pressha-" "Kurokawa."

[minorbeat]

(Seiren's eyes slightly narrow but remain dead.)

So...you two seem rather close now. How exactly did this come about?

[marinefashion]

[Click. click. click. Eri's standing there with a camera. Tsukasa's been watching and paged her quietly, having handed it over to the girl. Shirley's there, watching em too. Dita's taking her own pictures and Nanoha's blushing.

You said everyone right?]

[zetahatsudo]

[The hell? Kamille opens his eyes, startles, and seperates quickly from Sora.] Where did you all come from?! [Oh god, Shirley's never gonna let him hear the end of this, and was that Tsukasa's camera? And Nanoha?! Poor innocent Nanoha-!]

[marinefashion]

Flynn held up his camera. It was a video one. "I got it recorded."

Eri grinned. "Awesome."

[sunshine_maiden]

[Sora gawks at the exposure, wondering where all those cameras came from.] Stop- stop that! We're not some exhibit to be photographed so you can show your friends! [She then immediately claps her hand over her mouth. 'Now they'll actually do it...!']

[bottleofgundam]

[Kincaid cleared his throat from the doorway.]

Perhaps the kitchen isn't really the best place to do this. You know, in a room that lots of people use on a regular basis?

[zetahatsudo]

[GCK!]

In my defense, I was trying to avoid my usual haunts before this happened.
