[ Haruka crosses one long leg over the other and idly pokes at her salad with a fork while checking her phone for messages. On the cafe patio, the waitress bustles from table to table, customers chat or wolf down their food and drink or signal for the bill. None of it seems to make an impact on the blonde, though her lip quirks upward when a pair of schoolgirls pass on the sidewalk and whisper excitedly about "that cute guy".

The buttons of her phone make a "pip pip pip" noise as she scrolls through her inbox, ignoring -- for the moment -- messages from the track team, notices from the F1 forum she'd posted to, and the fifteen different texts from Usagi. With a slight huff, she closes her phone and tucks it back into her pocket. The salad is getting warm from sitting in the afternoon sunshine, but she fishes a tomato out anyway. Popping it in her mouth, she looks up at the cloudless blue sky. ]

It's a beautiful day.

[ Maybe Minako just passed by the cafe by sheer coincidence. Or maybe she has good eyesight. Or crazy intel. Whichever of the options it may be (it'll probably forever remain a mystery) Haruka won't be sitting there alone for long, since there's suddenly a blonde girl different from the one that keeps texting Haruka elbowing her way through the crowd to get to the cafe. ]

Haruka-san..!

[ Minako waves wildly, almost managing to hit the person next to her in the face but not even noticing it as she instead just smiles brightly the moment she's next to the table, slamming her hands down on it. ]

Enjoying the nice weather out here?

[soldierofskies]

[ Maybe a little voice on the wind told her she would be getting unexpected company, or maybe the first-year girl is just damn loud, but Haruka's not exactly surprised when Typhoon Minako comes barreling up to her table. Though she might be the only one unfazed.

A coy sort of smile toys at her lips and she just shrugs. ]

Should I say it's even nicer, now that you're here?

[reloves]

Haruka-san, you're such a flatterer..! [ Minako giggles, plopping down (without asking, yes) on the empty chair at the table. The girl lets out a giggle before she slowly starts winding a lock of her blonde hair around her finger as she talks. At least she's not fangirling as much over Haruka anymore since they're just fellow soldiers and all that, but that doesn't mean she won't soak up the compliments like a sponge all the same. ]

Although I have to say that a lot of people would probably envy you right now! [ More like envy you rather than envy Haruka for being with the other, Minako.. ] The company of the goddess of love and beauty is something everyone wants!

[Haruka's gaze is going to suddenly be very black for two hands are suddenly covering her eyes. Hotaru is smiling as she tries not to giggle and give away who it is. She had just gotten out of school and was on her way back home when she spotted her "papa."]

baby girl! ;;

[soldierofskies]

[ She is surprised for a second, then relaxes little by little. Really, there are only a handful of people who would even want to try this, and a smaller number who would take the risk. And even blind, deaf or near-dead, she would know Michiru anywhere.

Haruka leans back a a little, grinning. ]

Let's see... is it somebody who hates soba?

PAPA!

[bornomega]

[She knows that her father knows. Doesn't hurt to play, though.]

It might be. [She responded, grinning wide herself.]

[soldierofskies]

[ And Haruka's all too happy to play along. She touches the back of the girl's hands lightly. ]

Hmmm, small hands, hates soba... has to be Setsuna.

[bornomega]

Yes, and I'm here to tell you to do the dishes tonight. [She teased.]

[oceans_requiem]

[It really was a nice day and Michiru was out this afternoon, enjoying the weather before she had to go to practice. But as she's walking down the street, she spots a familiar someone sitting at one of their favorite cafes. She smiles to herself and immediately heads over to Haruka]

Fancy meeting you here.

[soldierofskies]

[ Her expression softens even before Michiru arrives. Haruka admires, well, everything about her as she approaches. ]

Hey.

[oceans_requiem]

[Her smile only grows more as she walks over. She can tell that Haruka's eyes are on her. She did be more surprised if they weren't]

Interested in a bit of company?

[soldierofskies]

Like you have to ask. [ She gets up from her chair and pulls out the empty one out for Michiru. ]

What time's practice?

[oceans_requiem]

Of course I don't have to. [She takes a seat with a quiet thank you before she continues] It is still polite to ask.

Not for an other hour or so. I don't have rush off anywhere.
