She and Brianna, that girl of Tala's, are going to start training together tonight. Given how Brianna discovered her powers, she's almost certain that things are going to be... interesting.
Leaning against one wall now, and waiting.]

She's never been this nervous in a while.
Except for well, her first few battle encounters. Eek.Finally she reaches the door and knocks once. ]
Uhm... Good evening, Ma'am Lia?

Waking the Dead 2.0 | Flashbacking! 3 April 2063
Thanks again, for having me over.
no subject
It's no problem! We love having people over. My mom is quite the host, huh?
[ As he puts down the pitcher and the glasses, she takes one glass and pour herself a drink. She takes a small sip. ]
Besides, it's nice being able to spend time with my blademates outside of missions and class. At least I get to do something normal. [ She manages a small laugh at that. Normal. ]

He's early, early enough to have a cigarette by his car on the driveway before heading up and ringing the doorbell. Brianna's mother is all smiles as she ushers him in, gushes over this and that, then - after settling him down in the living room - flitting off to fetch her daughter.
Honestly? He doesn't know what to feel about tonight. He'd like to think that it's going to be fun, but... well. It's been a while. A long while.]
no subject
She's glad that she asked Hikaru among all the other boys or men in her life. This means that there'd be no awkward air whatsoever, and she can be herself. No more flipping through her mind for possible things they can talk about, or having to filter through what goes out of her mouth. Plus, with everything going on around the conspiracy and in her mind, she doesn't really have time for boys and feelings.
Also, this works for both of them: Brianna needs a date, and Hikaru needs to take a break, according to her BFF, Tala. What could be a better break than a formal ball, where they together they can be nasty in a totally innocent way, playfully faking pleasantries with other guests, people watching, making snarky comments here and there and well, getting to know each other.
Not that he already knows tons about me, she tells herself as she puts down her hair brush.
She stands up, smooths her gown, grabs her clutch bag and makes a final check of her hair and makeup before going down the stairs.
She can't contain her excitement as she rushes to greet her Daddy Hikaru with a hug. ]
Hi daddy. Thank you again for doing this for me!
[ Brianna is all smiles as she smooths down her dress again. ]

Waking the Dead 2.0 : 29 April 2063
[ Totally not a date, whatever Gabriel says. He and Brianna bonded over music ( granted, it feels like ages ago ) and he'd told her about Haven, about Rethe, and had promised to take her before missions and life had gotten in the way.
Totally not asking his blade mate out on a date.
Not a date. Just chilltime in a club that a good friend of his spins at. ]

May 14, 2063 // Gift Post for Bribri
shopping + candy shenanigans, y/y?
Watching her chatter away with Wiseman Tagabigay quietly just taking all of what she says in -- Josh is pretty sure he doesn't want to cross Tala. Ever.
He redirects his attention to Brianna, tries to see what she's looking at. He hasn't quite figured out what to get her, so he's going to pitch that she pick something out and he'll pay for it instead. ] Whatcha lookin' at, Bri?

The boy still wasn't opening up, but he had looked marginally better. Prior to Brianna's arrival, he used to constantly look like he was shrinking into his own seat, jump at every little noise, and give a wide berth to any man or other boy in the area.
Now, at least, he actually spoke. Granted, it was just two times (one to respond to Brianna asking for his name, and another to ask the other Changeling if she was going to be back tomorrow), but two times was plenty for a special case like his.
"Special case". What a kind way of putting it.
She's watching Michael flee from her classroom now, and then turning, once he's gone, to measure Brianna's reaction. No words yet: she needs to see how the girl took it.]
no subject
...What? [ Her response isn't snarky or mean, though. In fact, she looks to her side and turns around a bit to see if Aria's looking at someone else, before turning her attention back at Aria. ]

Brianna's due for her usual session with him; it doesn't have anything to do with the fact that he was actually planning on leaving Falner earlier, specifically after his talk with Josh.
Yep.]

Of course, Aria wanted to give credit where it was due. Brianna Lopez had been true to her word and had been consistently dropping by to sit with the boy, even during her extended engagement with Ginko Takasugi-Vice in Seigi. The Changeling had also readily agreed to join the tour today, and had spent it at Michael's side. Today was another landmark for all three of them: the boy had smiled - really smiled - at them. He also hadn't had a panic attack during the whole tour due to the flora around the area, but that might have been because of Brianna's grounding presence.
Now that Michael has been fetched by the resident operative that was handling his case back in Ziz, Aria was all but ready to talk to Brianna on the matter. Her attention, however, has been snagged by something else to consider: the sight of Hikaru Shinta waiting for them outside of the entrance of Balamb Academy.
People who knew about the situation between them may be surprised at the way she, after a pause and a moment of internal calibration, walks up to him with a smile. What they don't know is that the two of them managed to touch base while he was in Seigi. They had had a good, long conversation on the phone that had ended with one simple conclusion: they missed each other, and while they probably weren't going to be together anytime soon (or ever, for that matter), they needed each other as friends.
From this point on, it was just a matter of practice.
So, Brianna, you're going to see it pretty clearly if you're watching: how your father and your ally in the Curious Case of Michael Lamont are standing away from the class, exchanging pleasantries and not being fake about it, and exchanging notes on their individual experiences during the joint operation with Rhiannon. They're not as good as they used to be, but they're certainly getting there.]

Waking the Dead 2.0 | 17 July 2063 : The Fox and the Hound.
Have a fox clambering up the furthest window of the classroom, a tablet in it's mouth that it checks with two tiny paws as soon as the animal's finally inside.
It looks a little like an excerpt from a Disney film. Except not.
Now he's ducking under chairs, gaze mildly apologetic to any of the kids who take note of him. If he pauses and holds their gaze, it's only for a couple of seconds before he finally settles at the back, on the floor as opposed to the empty seat behind him, tablet set down as he starts pawing at the screen.
Swiftkey is such a godsend. He loves that app so much. It's so convenient whenever he's in this form. ]

This is why she's currently wandering through the Dreaming, letting herself flit in and out of the dreams of other people, soaking in the sights and the sensations. She's hoping, of course, that she doesn't spot anything incriminating, or anything that she'll have to investigate back in the Waking World. That usually spelled trouble for somebody.
no subject
After all, gardening is said to be therapeutic.
While she normally wouldn't bother dirtying her hands and breaking her back over shovelling, weeding and the like, she resorts to this sort of thing. She tends to some plants sometimes. Minimal, of course. A snip here, some water there. Brianna seems content with admiring the garden she's dreamt up. It's a safe space for her, somewhere she retreats to when things get hectic. Here, she controls what blooms in her garden and what wilts.
Now though, she's just walking around leisurely, the sound of her heels audible on thr brickstone flooring of a pathway between two short hedges. ]
