Scene #1867: Yo Ho Home

Owner	Pose
Erika Shimizu	Erika Shimizu has been a little... Reticent since her return from Paris. It's rather uncharacteristic of her. In fact she's been so dodgy that it's probably worrying. But, finally, she seems to have settled down from her manic need to evade everyone and everything for a while and has returned to the dorm room she shares with Hina. She's currently feeding Davy in his tank at the moment, pouring little bits of fishy food in to the water for the octopus to happily nom on.
Hinata Muramasa	Hinata Muramasa was out at the Obon festival's final day. So as she steps back into the dorm room, she's wearing a dark blue yukata, with her black hair tied up in a bun with a few ornaments. Green eyes fall on Erika, and she watches quietly as she slowly undoes her bun, setting ornaments aside and letting her hair fall loose. She pads lightly over, and gives the blonde pirate a hug from behind. Resting her head between Erika's shoulder blades. No words. The pair largely don't need them, with all they've been through together.
Erika Shimizu	No words indeed. It's when the door opens that Erika glances up. A fluttering look of mixed emotions crosses the pirate-girl's face, but when the hug comes, she simply and quietly leans back against Hinata. "Hey." She says, a little more sullen than her usual outgoing self, one hand resting atop where Hinata's arms cross around her body. "We should talk. It's... It's been a hot minute."
Hinata Muramasa	Arms squeeze lightly around Erika's waist. Then Hinata releases and steps back. "When you are ready, Eri-chan." she says, tugging a little paper bag out of where she was keeping it, and offering it wordlessly to the blonde. It has festival candy inside, various types of boiled sweets and the like. With the gift given, she turns and strips out of the yukata, changing into her casual clothes while waiting.
Erika Shimizu	The squeeze is soothing. And Erika's eyes fall closed for a beat. But when the embrace ends and Hinata starts to change back into her casual clothes, the blonde flumps into a seat on the edge of her bed. "Paris was... Paris was bad." She says at first. "I can't... Really say what happened without breaking a promise I made to Sailor Moon, but. Some of us almost didn't make it back." She says, peeking into the bag, a small smile creeping across her face. "Ah... Hina you shouldn't've~."
Hinata Muramasa	Hinata keeps her back turned. "I'm glad you made it back safely, Eri-chan." she replies, hands lifting to clutch something in front of her. She turns, showing she's holding the blade charm, before she releases it, and slumps down onto her bed. "I felt... something. While you were gone." she says, lifting her gaze to fix onto the blonde's face. "It felt like I lost something important, for just a moment."
Erika Shimizu	That... That makes Erika pause. And again a flicker of hard to read emotions crosses the normally jubilant girl's face as she swallows down a lump in her throat. Slowly rising from her seat, now it's her turn to embrace Hinata from behind, burying her face in the girl's dark hair wordlessly for a long moment. "I thought as much." She says after a long beat. "But you don't gotta worry about a thing. I'm not going anywhere if I can't help it. Not again."
Hinata Muramasa	Hinata's green eyes close, and a shakey breath rattles the slender girls chest. She leans back against her friend and rests hands over those around her. "I will still worry... you are reckless, headstrong and always dance to your own tune." she admonishes, half turning, and lifting a hand to boop Erika on the nose. "And that is why we are still friends... because you complete me." she states frankly, the dour, emotionless expression on her face belying the sincerity of her words.
Erika Shimizu	"I don't mean to make you worry but... I'll try to make you worry less from now on." It's as Hina gives that shuddery breath that Erika's squeeze tightens by a degree. "Yeah. You complete me, too, Hina." She says, wriggling her nose at the boop. She deserved that one, huh.
