🐏 》 ❝ Do you really know how to use that? ❞ Skepticism felt satirical coming from a dame with a penchant for axes, but... how could she describe this feeling? There was a strange feeling of camaraderie between them, as if the potential to bond resided somewhere within the mercy of time. She thinks this to herself as she marvels her fellow compatriot wielding a magical firearm with little to no trouble, despite it being nearly twice her size.

         It was at this moment that Haru realized she was the image of idealism that she subconsciously sought after. How admirable!  ❝ I understand this might not be the most appropriate time to ask, but might you consider sharing your knowledge with me? It would prove quite useful in dispelling these threats, I’m sure. ❞

🐏 》 Liaisons have suddenly become monumental in this predicament. In spite of the haphazard situation they’ve found themselves in, and seemingly without their powers ( from what she’s garnered through Ryuji ), it felt as if their only solution was to continue trudging through the madness. Having initially believed they were transported to an anomaly of a palace, the encounter of an unaffiliated student from their academy proved her suspicions wrong. Not only that, it was... extremely concerning.

        So much that she sprung into action to defend her underclassman from a prowling beast without Mi’Lady in tow, just to discover that all she could do was grab her wrist and make a run for the nearest shelter. It wasn’t the most heroic of actions, but it bought them some time. Still, it felt...

         ❝ ...I’m sorry. It appears that I’m not the most exceptional example of a ‘senpai’. ❞

🐏 》 Despite herself and all the challenges she’s encountered, there was still some joy to be found in a familiar face. In all honesty, she hadn’t expected to find him here, let alone in the predicament he was! ( He wasn’t in peril danger, per say, but he did look a little lost in the forest. ) For someone with the codename Noir, it only felt fitting to dash ahead in front of him in a grand fashion and boast her regional repertoire. 

         ❝ Ufufu, are you lost, young man? Never fear, for Noir is here! I will show you the way. ❞

               Of course, it’s all part of her facade. Surely he’s recognized her by now.

         ❝ ...Did that surprise you? I always wanted to try my hand at one of those inspiring hero-esque appearances. ❞

🐏 》 ❝ Eh? Something is off with my appearance, you say? ❞

           It isn’t every day she gets stopped in her Noir garb. Why, she never gets stopped in it at all, considering up until now, it’s never been presented to the general public. Granted, this is a makeshift rendition of it, but still!  ❝ Is it, perhaps, my charisma? Should I be more emphatic? ❞ True heroes do shine more when they’re more confident. Hesitantly, she corrects her evil-fighting pose with a touch more oomph and slants the tip of her cavalier hat.  ❝ L-Like this? I’m not certain whether or not this will impact anything, but perhaps confidence could be used as a bargaining chip for one of those items we need? ❞

🐏 》 ❝ Oh! You like noodles too? ❞

          In spite of the current predicament, the pair can be found defying the norm inside of a relatively desolate noodle booth. Nobody in their right mind would venture for a meal in these trying times, let alone keep their business open for such daring patrons, but the stars seemed to have aligned and given the two hungry femmes the company of a most audacious and passionate ramen weaver. 

          ❝ Perhaps we shouldn’t be here right now, but with the ongoing pandemonium, this place feels like a temporary respite. Even if...  we must dine with caution, and behave as if hungry eyes are trained on our backs. ❞

🐏 》 ❝ I-- I can defend myself! Really! ❞ Albeit poorly with no more than her trowel at hand, seeing him attack with such ferocity using a kitchen knife invalidates her excuses! Alas, willpower without strength is still insufficient; her attempt to deflect the beast fails, and she even manages to get him hurt in the process. ( How, she’s quite uncertain,but it surely happened during her tussle onto the ground. Did he end up compensating for her failure? )

          ❝ ...! Just hold on a moment, I’ll patch you up right away! ❞ Without Mi’Lady at full power, the power of these ‘sages’ can be quite handy. Hopefully he’ll let her tend to that scratch on his arm.  ❝ ...I’m sorry. ❞
