[It's been two weeks since Nanami last attended morning training. Her stitches come out today so she's been taking it easy this morning. Mostly she's asking other Weapons questions and looking for potential Meisters to partner with in the near future. Right now she's taking a break, sitting on a bench with her hands folded neatly in her lap while watching other partners train.]

[scatterflower]

[Chika blinks as she catches sight of someone that she hadn't really noticed much before, but seemed familiar to her. It took her a few moments to realize it, but well, this woman was someone that she talked to before over the communicators once. She forces a smile to her lips and walks over to her, sitting down on the bench next to the other girl.]

It's been a while since I've seen you around. How've you been?

[morecowbell]

[Nanami kind of glances at a nearby bench that was empty when Chika sits next to her. She's really terrible at noticing or remembering other girls unless they were really important or posed some sort of threat to her. She's working on that... So when Chika speaks Nanami gives her a slightly confused look.]

Um...

[scatterflower]

[Chika let out a nervous giggle.]

I guess that question did come out of nowhere, didn't it. We've only talked once over the network before. Back when Zero and I became partners.

[morecowbell]

[And the lights go on.]

Oh! Yes, the robot guy. I'm afraid I've forgotten your name.

[scatterflower]

[Chika let out a bit of a bitter chuckle at that.]

Yeah. I guess that figures. I never did get the time to contact you again. My name's Chika.

[morecowbell]

[She's kind of oblivious to the bitterness in that chuckle]

Nanami, it's nice to meet you in person, Miss Chika. [she nods politely]

[scatterflower]

[That's alright. She's not bitter at you forgetting.]

It's nice to meet you in person too... umm... Nanami-san, right?

[morecowbell]

[She nods again. After an uncomfortable pause she figures she ought to say something]

So what brings you to morning training this morning?

[scatterflower]

[Chika sighs.]

Well, I come here a lot of the time. But now it's even more important than ever...

BREW just sent Zero home yesterday.

[morecowbell]

Huh? Oh... [It takes a moment to settle in.] I'm sorry to hear that. [Nanami had only spoken to him a handful of times but he was the one who first showed her how to partially transform.]

[scatterflower]

[Chika nods.]

Thanks... It figures BREW would do it right when I actually start having more free time to go on missions though.

[She shakes her head suddenly though.]

But well, moping around isn't going to do any good. I doubt he'd want me to do that anyway.

[morecowbell]

What do you do that keeps you so busy?

hi nanaamiiiiiiiiii~chaaaaaaaan

[tauborn]

[It's only after he sees her that he realizes he hasn't seen her around much. And she looks way too prim and proper seated where she is for him not to go bother her just a little.]

Hey, Nanami~chan? How's it going? [And he plops onto the bench next to her with a grin.]

bro-- I mean Takuto, 'sup?

[morecowbell]

[It's unusual for her to not notice Takuto until he is practically right next to her]

Oh, hello. Well enough I suppose what with the riots and other... things. [like failed missions and hospital visits] What have you been up to?

[tauborn]

[He breathes a small sigh of relief at Nanami's question. It seems that apparently she either hadn't seen the Sai's accusatory network post or she'd seen it and forgotten about it. Either one is good for him.]

Er, stuff. The usual--patrol and drama club.

[morecowbell]

[Oh she totally saw that Takuto she has just chosen to not say anything about it... yet. Since there has been no proof of the matter and it doesn't really involve her (selfish yes) she currently doesn't care all that much (but fyi philandering is the worst, a disease that needs curing, Stein is working on that one). She does pick up on the fact that he was also leaving some things out.]

Are you training with a partner today?

[tauborn]

[He shrugs and nods.]

Though I suppose I have a lot of different partners. [A pause as suddenly he realizes how awful that sounds.] ...That I train with.

[morecowbell]

[Oblivious girl is oblivious and says things that sound about as bad when comes to resonating. There's really no way around it unfortunately.]

Sugata-san? [As in, is he one of the ones you train with?]

[tauborn]

[It may be better for her if ignorance is bliss. Takuto unfortunately realizes how bad things he says sound only after he says them. It took him months before he could talk about intimacy and resonance without blushing.]

Yeah, and Yuugi. [A pause.] And Aqua and Shinji. [Practice with Sugata and Yuugi is pretty much a daily thing, whereas resonance with Aqua happens if he feels like it, and with Shinji he usually tricks him into it outside of morning training.

He gives Nanami a thoughtful look.] If you're up for some resonance practice, then I'll be happy to train with you.

[morecowbell]

[Nanami is unfamiliar with Yuugi but she sort of knows Aqua. And of course she knows Shinji.]

Well if it's just resonance practice... Um, Takuto-san, are you okay with still partnering with me? I mean, I'd understand if you'd rather go with your friend from home.

[tauborn]

[He frowns at her. Was she asking him to be her partner...? Like... official partner? Because he... he wasn't at all sure how he felt about that.]

...You mean like for a few missions and things? Of course I'm okay with that. It's not even a matter of 'someone else instead' since I can wield two at the same time. [He heaves a sigh.] But if you mean something more permanent... you'll have to give me time to think about it.

[morecowbell]

[Nanami tilts her head for a moment trying to follow his thought path]

Oh, no! I mean... I thought you might want to be permanent partners with him because... and then if my form isn't compatible with his or he's a smaller pointy object then you'd want to go with Shinji as your secondary partner... for better balance... so what I'm saying is yes, for a few missions and things.

[enter awkward frowny face here]

[tauborn]

I'm not looking to partner permanently with anyone.

[Best to be straightforward about these things, after all. Though since she brought it up, he'll probably end up thinking about it later. He's put permanent partnerships out of his mind since Aion left just for sanity's sake, but maybe... maybe he'd actually end up being okay with it? He already lives with Yuugi and Sugata, anyway....] So I guess we're on the same page then. Resonance and a few missions and such.

[morecowbell]

[She had jumped to very wrong conclusions earlier. She scratches her cheek lightly, guess she might want to clear that up with Shinji...]


Yes, yes, same page. Very good then.
