Aimlessly wandering around the city again (it was so big), Hayate had managed to stumble upon the Statuary. She walked up and down the hall, marveling at the various works of stone and metal. At first she had tried to flick some of the switches, but after three or four flips on a few didn't result in a thing, she didn't bother with they any

Irma was busy wandering aimlessly throughout the ship herself. Despite the life and death struggle they went through just earlier, it was now boring around here. True, there was all the teachings they were doing, but she could do that later.

Making her way across to the Statuary, her eyes went wide seeing an older girl riding on a stone lion as if it was a horse.

Then again, this was something Hay Lin would probably do and they wouldn't bat an eye...

...scratch that. This was something Caleb would do.

Stiffing a chuckle, Irma approached Hayate. "Well, now, having fun?"

[diabolic_ace]

"Ahah--" Oh! Hahaha, maybe no one was there before, but Hayate certainly wasn't paying too much attention once she was up there.

"...hahaha, well, yeah. I mean, if I wasn't I sure hope I'd get off." She was a touch red, but taking being caught in stride.

Irma laughed at the caught Hayate before approaching her.

"Oh, don't worry about it. 'Sides, I'd doubt anyone else here would mind anyway!" she said. Irma got to the base of the statue and leaned against it. "I'm Irma, by the way. And you're...?"

[diabolic_ace]

She gave a slight sigh of relief and her strained twisted cheeks relaxed back into a more relaxed smile. "Hmm, maybe I should give you a psuedonym so I don't have to worry 'bout any gossip~"

"Hah, nah. I'm Yagami, Hayate. Pleased to meet you."

Having just re-found Hayate Reinforce had adopted a mildly clingy attitude towards her, and her stop at the statuary inevitably brought Rein out to see what her wielder was up to.

Hayate was, she found, seated on top of a stone lion, but Rein's enthusiasm for just about everything about the girl - no, woman now - could be a bit blinding at times and she entertained for now the thought that there might be some clever purpose to it beyond play.

"Hayate," she called warmly as she approached the base of the statue, "What are you doing?"

[diabolic_ace]

"Oh, Reinforce!" She waves from up top the lion. I was just wanderin' around, trying t'get the lay of the land, and, well~" It is as Reinforce sees now.

[herblessedwind]

"You climbed up there to see?" Reinforce looked a bit concerned, and floated closer. "Would it not be easier to fly?"

Misunderstanding: total.

[diabolic_ace]

"What? Oh, no... I jus' thought there wouldn't be any harm in havin' some fun."

Hayate patted the lion's back. "You probably wouldn't get it, but there's some novelty to it."

And from the doorway there came a familiar little chuckle.

"I sort of wish I had a camera right now, you know."

[diabolic_ace]

"Me too, really~" She was leaning forward onto the lion's hard, grey mane.

[starlight_ace]

"It'd make a nice photo for your desk!" Her desk back home, in a world that may or may not have been destroyed. "What do you think, would it be a fierce mount to ride into battle?"

[diabolic_ace]

"I dunno about fierce, but it's definitely pretty tough, right?" She giggles, dismounting the lion and stepping over to give her dear friend a hug.
