[She'll find Haruka on her way to the shuttle herself.]

Oh. Going somewhere?

[actsmagnificent]

Not if you have it reserved.

[ There probably isn't a reserve system. But even if there were, Haruka wouldn't have paid any attention to it. ]

[experiencepoints]

Well, your use is probably better than mine.

[actsmagnificent]

Only if you like joyriding.

[ She stands aside so Nightingale can use the shuttle, should she so wish. But. Haruka is still stir-crazy, so. ] Want a chauffeur?

[experiencepoints]

If you'd like, but I'm just going over to the Iskaulit to get drunk out of my mind for a while.

[actsmagnificent]

[ ...That doesn't sound like something Haruka should pry into. She nods. ] I'll drop you off.

[ Designated flyer. That's her. ]

[experiencepoints]

Sounds good, but... Should I just call you when I'm done?

[actsmagnificent]

That works. [ And it's not an imposition if Haruka's the one doing the offering. So there.

Besides, this gives her a reason to stay out longer. Not a problem on this end at all. ] It's a good day for flying, anyway.

[experiencepoints]

... If you want to come, too, you're welcome to. I can treat.

[She doubts Haruka will, but... Well, she is trying to be social. It's worth a shot, right?]

[actsmagnificent]

[ Haruka shakes her head, but she doesn't seem offended. Nothing against the place, just: ] I'm a little antsy. Don't worry about me.

[experiencepoints]

You okay?

[actsmagnificent]

I don't get sick often. [ They've had enough conversations that Haruka feels comfortable sharing that much about herself.

She nods towards the shuttle. ] After you.

[experiencepoints]

Were you sick?

[She's confused now, but boarding.]

[actsmagnificent]

It wasn't contagious. [ Thank goodness. Somebody on board missed seeing her looking like death warmed over.

Haruka doesn't care all that much, but it's still a relief. Nobody, not even effortlessly confident sparklepeople, enjoys being seen at less than their best.

She brings up the rear in the shuttle. ]

[experiencepoints]

... You know, I'm not good at it, but I can do a little bit of healing magic. I can't cure the disease, but I can make it a bit more comfortable. You can tell me when you're not feeling well, and I can help.

[actsmagnificent]

Your world's magic seems really flexible. [ Scuse her while she helps herself to the pilot's chair and makes sure everything looks, well, ship-shape with this shuttle.... ]

[experiencepoints]

... Not as much as you'd think. But, I've been researching the past while, how to break the rules of magic and make it a little more flexible.

Healing is something I'm shit at, though. It just heals physical damage.

[actsmagnificent]

I'll keep that in mind. [ Okay, here we go. Starting up this transport.

And definitely filing that information away for later. She can't play the good space tourist forever. Sooner or later, Atroma has to give her an opening, and Haruka intends to take it. ]

[experiencepoints]

So if you get sick again, tell me.

[She seems grumpy.]

[actsmagnificent]

[ Hit a sore point? Haruka nods. She doesn't need to get where reactions are coming from to acknowledge when she's produced the wrong one. ] Sorry.

[experiencepoints]

Good.

[She's going to mother the hell out of you, Haruka.

... that said, she's awkward as fuck, so she's goign to just trail off into an awkward silence here.]

[actsmagnificent]

[ Haruka doesn't mind awkwardness. She uses the lull to get the shuttle ready to go, thumbing switches and taking the controls. ] Here we go.

[ It'll be a smooth flight. She's a good driver. ]
