[her smile is mostly hidden, but she does hold up her hand to you, palm up]

[actsmagnificent]

[ Haruka accepts that hand, clasping it between them before letting their held hands fall in the (dwindling) space between them. To town, then.

This place is not any more impressive close-up... ]

[incousinswithyou]

[it's definitely not pretty, but:]

They certainly seem to be enjoying themselves. [judging from that raucous juggling contest going on over there]

[actsmagnificent]

Simple pleasures, I guess.... [ That is. Certainly a thing. And oh look. What appears to be a bookie is attempting to rope passers-by into the contest. Come one! Come all! Win your fortune! Excuse him, sir? Madam?

....Sir?

Haruka averts her eyes. If she doesn't look at him, she can't acknowledge he might mean her. ]

[incousinswithyou]

[Michiru blithely ignores the person too, though she opts to cast an amused glance at you instead.]

No juggling today?

[even if she's the one who juggling the lemons]

[actsmagnificent]

You can't be serious. [ She's trying to laugh it off, but this guy is persistent. It looks like a few of the ladies in the crowd are interested in seeing the guest perform, as well.

Let's keep walking, Michiru. Let's just...keep...walking... ]

[incousinswithyou]

When am I not? [like maybe right now.

To be fair, she's more interested in occupying your hands than juggling.]

[actsmagnificent]

They're just passing the time. [ And it would involve letting go of Michiru's hand, which is a cruel sacrifice indeed.

A lone sweatdrop slips down the back of her neck. Maybe it's hot in the gas mask. ]

[incousinswithyou]

If anything, it's more like a sport.

[yup, the bookie is following them, still talking. Maybe he gets a commission from the betting?]

[actsmagnificent]

You'd think surviving would be enough of a struggle. [ Her shoulders are getting tenser. It's the moon. It's totally the moon.

And not the fact that every young lady in the area is either already watching this happen or beckoning their friends to come see the handsome offworlder. ]

[incousinswithyou]

[rather easily:] They seems to be doing rather well for themselves.

[seeing the crowd he's already getting, the bookie plays to them. "Aw, it looks like he's shy. How about a round of applause?"

Amid the cheers and the squealing, Michiru keeps her eyes on you. She'll take her cue from you.

...it's not like she's pointedly ignoring the young ladies or anything like that.]

[actsmagnificent]

[ They are going to follow the two of them around until she gives in, aren't they. So. Fine. Path of least resistance, if only to get this out of the way.

Haruka breaks off from where they'd been walking and snatches up the juggling pins. The man holding them steps back, alarmed. ] I just have to try it, right?

[ He nods, seeming to fear for his life. Haruka bites back a snort, and turns to the crowd.

She then proceeds to close her eyes before throwing the pins up in the air. Around they go. See? This is not difficult. At all.

She really doesn't get what all the fuss was about. ]

[incousinswithyou]

[the cheering intensifies as the man seems to recover a little, though it's hard to ignore the sudden bead of sweat trickling down his back.

Not that it stops native from swaggering on up and grabbing exactly one more pin than you. The chance to show off for the ladies may have been a deciding factor, judging from that challenging smirk.

Michiru, meanwhile, can apparently be entertained by anything, as long as you're part of it.]

[actsmagnificent]

[ Haruka's eyes are still closed, but from the small smile on her face, she's in tune with her surroundings and not worried. The pins keep flying in the air. And then, without prior warning, she reverses directions. They're now all flying clockwise instead of counterclockwise.

How's the competition doing? ]
