* Claire steps outside! * Miya follows her, taking a breath of the night air. She looks much more at ease now that she's not in the boating house. It's a good night for it. Not so bad when it rains, though. My telekinesis makes a good umbrella, too. * Claire winks. * Miya laughs a little. "I guess that helps. Um, how do you catch all the raindrops like that?" I just push them out of the way, is all. It's not so hard. My telekinesis is very powerful. * Miya nods. "I guess that makes sense." She fidgets. "I mean, I wouldn't know about that stuff." * Claire smiles. "Well... Actually I'm still not that good with it..." But you won't drop me or anything, right? I mean, um. I'd probably be okay if you did, but still. * Miya thinks. Yeah, powers can be hard sometimes. * Claire chuckles and waves her hand. "Oh no! Don't worry, I won't drop you." * Miya smiles. "Okay." That's not a problem. * Miya nods. It's just.... Well, don't ask me to try to put you down on a flag pole or something. I, uh... I'd probably miss. Oh. * Miya thinks. That sounds hard anyway. And I dunno why I'd want to be put on a flagpole? Remember what I did to the car... * Miya nods. "Yeah. But it should be fine." Well, if I'm not putting you down on your feet, just teleport, okay? * Miya laughs. "Sure." I can take you teleporting? Maybe. But you can fly most of the places. * Miya fidgets. "It's not as cool like that." Well, teleporting is faster. But anyhow... * Claire starts hovering off the ground. "Ready?" * Miya watches her float and offers her hand without hesitation. "Sure." * Claire takes Miya's hand, and up they go! "Lift off!" * Miya lets out a half-yelp, half-scream, and soon she's laughing. "Wow!" * Claire grins. "How high do you want to go? We can go pretty far before it gets too cold and we have trouble breathing. Let's go higher! Wow. Do you do this every night? * Claire adds in Japanese. "" Her accent is barely noticable. She speaks in Tokyo dialect. (But you know this already ;_;) * Claire goes higher! "Nah. Usually I stay up playing video games." * Miya spreads her free arm, looking down and around, amazed and unafraid. And then she blinks and smiles sheepishly. "" She, for reference, doesn't speak anything close to the Tokyo dialect, but it's still understandable. * Miya grins. ( How much do they know about each other? Everything that was in the last game? ) (Robin wasn't clear... let me see.) * Claire zooms higher! "" * Miya nods, then says distantly, "" And she smiles. "" * Claire grins. "" * Miya laughs. "" * Claire stops going up so much, and starts going forward. "" * Miya is moved along, arms spread. Wheee! * Miya giggles. "" * Miya looks ahead to the approaching lights. "" Hmm * Claire goes higher, until they get to the clouds. She goes right through one, in fact. * Miya holds her breath upon coming into contact with cloud, goes right through it, and starts laughing. * Claire grins when they burst out above them. "Well, would you like to recreate the feeling?" * Miya tries to finish laughing and kind of fails. "" * Claire nods. "" * Miya tries to look through the cloud to see the light. * Miya catches a peek at the city below and grins. "" * Claire floats down to the cloud and hovers, with her feet dangling inside the cloud. It looks like she's trying to stand, but the way she bobs up and down doesn't make it seem very believable. * Claire nods. "It's a nice one to have. I just wish I could use it as well as Jackie uses hers." * Miya is pulled along, since she's hanging onto Claire. She looks at her for a moment, then shakes her head. "" * Claire looks down. "" * Miya nods. * Claire smiles. "Thanks." * Claire sighs. "She didn't need help, though. There's a reason dad only sent me to America." * Claire shakes her head. "But you're right. I'll try not to think about it. Let's enjoy the night." * Miya smiles nervously back. "" * Miya winces a little, then says kind of weakly, "" * Claire shakes her head. "" She looks on the verge of tears now. * Miya looks at Claire with her blank, white eyes, then squeezes her hand, since that's about all she could do as Claire controls where she goes. "" And then she repeats, more quietly and possibly for herself, "" * Claire rubs her eyes and sniffs. "" * Miya trails off and shuts her mouth. She looks down at the city below. * Claire gives Miya a questioning look. "" * Miya takes a breath. It shakes a little. "" * Claire shakes her head. "" She stops in mid-sentence and looks at Miya questioningly. Again. "" * Miya looks rather like she wants to shrink in on herself. "" She shuts her eyes. "" * Claire stares. "" She hugs the younger girl. "" * Miya sniffles and she starts to cry. "<'m sorry. I didn't mean to- I mean->" * Claire shakes her head. "" * Miya giggles a little, but she doesn't stop crying. * Claire hugs Miya, patting her on the back. "" "" * Miya sniffs. "" "" <'Cause I've gotta stay in shape. Gotta-> * Miya stops for a moment, thinks, and finally says, "" * Claire grins and pats Miya's shoulder. "" * Claire starts decending. * Miya smiles hesitantly. "" [Done!]
