To The Future!

"Not actually Kido. It's a potentially unique thing called Anima Mea. My soul has these holes in that I can send Reiryoku through and create effects based on that. I talked to Kisuke about it, but he wasn't confident that it was something anyone could do, so for now I am going to just consider it my unique thing"

Hannah's pragmatic tone and tutor's voice were clear, and it was quite obvious that in this situation, she had some trouble just enjoying the moment and had to teach, whatever the situation.

"Anima Mea? Even if it is distinguishable from Kido, my statement still stands. I expect nothing less from a woman with your degree of control over the esoteric application of her Reiryoku," Freyja would comment with a smile as she gazed at bright pillars of light within the night sky. This had been a grand experience so far. Some may have viewed it as a simple day, and they would no doubt be justified in approaching it as such but for one who was learning to grow out of her shell, it was an ideal moment where she could walk away and truly admit she enjoyed her day.

Oops, Hannah had been a dumb dumb again. But still, she'd just have to make up for it and distract Freyja from thinking about it by going in a different direction than strict explaination of the situation.

"Ohh? You expected it? Well, I must be more unpredictable in the future to avoid such a travesty" Hannah would exclaim, playing with a Horin, wrapping it around her arm and then having it unwrap slightly and point towards Freyja, as if looking at her and considering tying her up. She'd certainly look pretty, like that...

"To be certain, I meant for my words to come across as a playful comment illustrating my awe and respect for your masterful expertise. Perhaps my words were misunderstood? If so, I offer my apology in advance." Freyja would continue to observe the brightly lit night skies, momentarily directing her gaze toward the blind woman who had formed an orange-hued tendril. With the construct pointed towards her, the regal woman would curiously tilt her head as she continued to explain herself.

"I have a particularly troublesome habit of speaking too matter-of-factly, even when my intent is to compliment others..."

"Ohh, you are just a treat" Hannah exclaimed with a broad smile, reaching her Horin out to stroke her hand, and wrap around it gently to 'hold' her.

"You are so cute, and so forthright, a girl might just want to keep you around. I know you've got a job you are very dutiful towards, but I am sure we could schedule around that" Hannah exclaimed, feeling like was shedding the stress of the past few years and just going for it, not letting it get to her anymore.

Soft blue eyes found themselves blinking ever so slightly as they observed the blind woman with quiet curiosity. Freyja didn't particularly know how to reply to her words. What was there to say? She wondered. This was unfamiliar territory. Receiving compliments was par the course for a woman of her standing but Hannah seemed far more mercurial than those she had met in the past. Hannah was merely expressing herself. There was no shame in that. Even so... considering their conversation earlier, Freyja could not help but ruminate over the implications of every word that escaped her lips. What a confounding collection of thoughts. Apart from her analytical stream of thought, Freyja was amused to see her displaying a more upbeat nature. She considered it to be progress compared to the soft-spoken and meek woman she had become accustomed to so far.

"Mm, well, I certainly wouldn't be opposed to hanging out more. Dutiful though I may be, I'm learning that life is meant to be enjoyed, especially in moments of respite away from one's duty."

"Good. I think we both need this" Hannah exclaimed, reaching up to stroke the small sword necklace. She was glad for Daisy's support in this. She felt better than she had since she had lost Peach, like a hole in her soul had been filled finally. And she wasn't going to let it just pass her by.

"But for now, I feel it is time to get home. It is getting chill, and I am most fragile in that sense. Would you do me the honour of an escort, Miss Solheim?" Hannah asked, holding out her hand to the woman.
