Sixth Leap | [Dream]

[heartovertime]

[A verdant meadow stretches as far as can be seen, dotted with tall, thick fruit-bearing trees casting shade around them. The weather simply feels perfect, regardless of whoever feels it, with a deep blue, cloud spotted sky. Beneath one tree (bearing quite an odd mixture of fruit on its limbs), a blanket is spread, somehow not even pulling up at

[She's shaken out of Reno's dream in a sudden jolt, and the quiet tranquility of this new scene makes her curious. She catches sight of the two girls, eventually, and what she sees only surprises her for a moment. It's sweetly innocent, she thinks, and cute.

She doesn't interrupt, instead choosing to rest underneath the shade of a tree. Homura will notice her soon enough, she imagines.]

[brands]

Yeah? [She snorts, rolls her eyes.] And let me guess, it's none of their business.

Here's the way I see it. [She knocks her shoulder, hard, against the tree, and a piece of fruit falls to land in her hand.] You've only got so long to live your life, and living it followin' someone else's rules isn't the way to go. So to hell with people that think it's weird. [She takes a bite of her fruit, and leans in to poke Homura's cheek.] Some of the best people I know are weird.

[heartovertime]

I...don't think it's weird. But I never really met someone like this before...

I never really thought about it before coming here either... Maybe it's easier to think about in the peace here.

Ha! Someone like me, you mean. [She laughs.] I get that a lot.

[It occurs to her to ask:] Now that you've had time to think about it, are you okay with it?

[Homura is silent for a moment. She's not used to talking about such matters, not so openly like this. To some degree it is kind of a relief but...at the same time it isn't exactly familiar ground.]

Yes... I've never felt like this for anyone else before, not even boys...

A boy or a girl... I don't think it would matter which Madoka was.

[Fang smiles, and her expression softens out to something gentler.] Sounds like you've got it all figured out. I guess you don't need my advice after all.

[She pats Homura's head.] You should get back to your date. Good luck.

[heartovertime]

I don't...? [...Then is she doing this all right?]

Um...thank you then...

[brands]

Nah. [And a thumbs up!] You've got it covered, kid.

You're welcome. Now go on, go have fun.
