---

Hannah Steiner has posed:
Hannah isn't about to let a simple inconvenience like 'getting almost murdered' keep her from finally getting her two girlfriends in one room for introductions! Plus she really needs a distraction, as her wound has been stubborn those far - even if healing faster than it should. To Hannah it's just not enough.

And so, a quick text to Takumi, followed by one to Amy! Lyra is already wagging her tail. If Hannah had one, she'd be flying from a similar impulse. She gets to combine her two favorite people in one space, and by the Sankt anything to stop the dread /boredom/ that a hospital stay causes.

Takumi Yoru has posed:
Takumi stalks through the corridors of the hospital, her skateboard under one arm. Places like this make her uncomfortable, but she is on her way. Part of her hates how quickly she jumped at the chance to see Hannah. Either way, the girl nudges open the door to the room and steps in.

She glances about to take the room in before her gaze lands on the girl in the bed. "Shit. What happened?"

Hannah Steiner has posed:
"Mein teufel!" Comes Hannah, happiness in her voice at that familiar one. Though Takumi might notice how there's a difference in it too, something rougher. And judging from the massive bandage around her neck? Well it doesn't take a genius.

A wave of her hand. "One of the city's rogues - sadly, with nowhere near our present rogue's beauty or sense of manners - decided that catching a girl in a park during a post-run prayer session would look best with a knife buried in her throat." Comes Hannah, sounding rather incensed about the whole thing!

"Luckily for mein wallet und life, some well-meaning park-goers kept me from becoming one with the local flora as it were."

Thankfully Amy is here! Both because one can see her light up, and to help translate from Hannah's unique style of Belkan if necessary.

"Now, putting aside stabbings, I have been meaning to get you two together. Amy Faust, mein engel of the enchanging voice, meet Takumi Yoru, mein teuful of rebellion! I thought mein girlfreunds aught meet one another." A tilt of her head, and she nods to Takumi in particular.

"Should the dear teuful not mind the term~" Smiiiiirk!

Takumi Yoru has posed:
    The skater glances over at Amy and blinks. "...y-yeah. Friend." She takes the hand and shakes it, the blue-haired girl considering her. "Takumi Yoru. A MUGGING? What kind of ninja swarm could mug HER?"

She looks to Hannah and scowls. "Who? Describe him for me." There's a darkness in the demand, in her tone. She blinks, then, and glances between the two.

"Oh! You're the other girlfriend!" Suddenly she is blushing.

Amanda Faust has posed:
    Amy returns to Hannah's hospital room, laptop bag over her shoulder. She's wearing an oversized military jacket over a blue T-shirt and slacks, and... there is a pretty sk8er grrl whose fashion sense fell straight out of 90's/00's America here too... huh.

    What happened? "...Mugging. Unless you'd believe assassination attempt." She hehs awkwardly. "Friend of Hannah's? Nice to meet you, I'm Amy!" Amy offers a handshake.

Amanda Faust has posed:
    Amy shakes the hand. "Her. With a sword." She answers, but then Hannah speaks and Amy is savvy enough to catch that Hannah gives the *official* story about the assassination instead of the true one. So this is a friend or classmate... but not an old one, since Hannah's from space. Right around the time Amy's putting that together, Hannah's giving their names and her eyes widen as she looks at Takumi's face again. "You're the other... uh... so that makes us, what's the word, metamors?" She smiles. "Well if you're someone special to Hannah, that makes you important to me, too!" She offers a hug, before walking further into the room to look to Hannah. "How've you been feeling? No signs of anyone coming to finish the job, right? They feeding you well? Last time I had hospital food it was *not* great."

Hannah Steiner has posed:
Slowly, a brow raises. "Voice like a chalkboard, Takumi, but otherwise..." she waves a hand in front of her eyes as a reminder. "Even if I could, getting stabbed as it turns out is distracting. No respect for the Sankt in Tokyo, I swear! At least let me finish before trying to murder me!" Grumps Hannah.

Seems like they're getting along, and Amy immediately engages, and so there's just this...look of relieved pleasure on Hannah's face.

"I hope you both become close." She says earnestly.

"The food is awful, I am /constantly/ bored, I wish to cut the EKG machine in half, I am almost wishing for a night time visitor to liven things up...." That was a mistake. She starts to complain until she's mentioning the smell of that nurse that she's pretty sure has been day drinking.

She's /so mad/ about being here.

Takumi Yoru has posed:
    "Oh, that big sword?," she asks. She blushes at the hug and returns it. Amy might notice the underboard of her skateboard being the trans pride flag. "Metamor. Cool. Never heard that before. Well, never had a girlfriend before, so..." The skater kid trails off and clears her throat. She turns her attention back to Hannah, and she sighs as she nods. "I...don't mind close. I don't really -do- friends normally. Well, I couldn't back home." She considers and then grins.

"Well, that nails it. I'm gonna cook you a real meal and bring it to you. Gives me a chance to cook -and- spoil my girlfriend." Just saying that woirk makes the skater blush, though.

Amanda Faust has posed:
    Amy isn't sure whether to clarify that it was a katana. And yeah, she can't NOT notice those colors. The only thing she might notice faster is any variant on the usual gender symbols, or three letters that she'd have assumed meant something else in this context, like, Tactical... Skateboard... Force? Once she's noticed the flag, she gives another brief look over Takumi's face, and then stares into space in thought for a couple of seconds, before just nodding. Lack of friends. Couldn't at home. That tracks.

    Amy's surprised to learn the skater girl likes cooking! "You cook? Dang nice, I was getting by on bach-- uhh, on stir fry, noodles, and sandwiches until I got to live at Radiant Heart."

    "...So how'd you two meet?"

Hannah Steiner has posed:
Glee radiates off of Hannah. There's the sound of a hug! There's talk of not minding close! This is the best time in a hospital she's ever had! Now, just need to shove away the hospital!

"Unfortunately mein liebling, 'doing freunds' shall be something you've little choice in, around meinself und the dear crimson engel!" Comes Hannah, taunting her rougher love just a little bit. It may sound a little M E N A C I N G~

Yes, Takumi, that is a Threat (tm).

"Und if your family has opinions, I assure you, mien own shall outmatch them thricefold in bladework und volume!" Comes the young woman with a confident nod despite having recently been shanked.

"...Spoiling does sound nice!"

Also she's not going to let Amy escape her mischief. "Of course, Amy here has the voice of an engel. Perhaps she should serenade you as well, just like she stole mein heart at the school dance!" Adds Hannah, happy to both explain how /they/ met and jab her vocally in the ribs.

"Ironically at the site of mein unwanted dance with a fiend. Out for the usual training session with Lyra. Apparently /someone/ enjoys a young woman practicing with a sharp piece of metal!" Griiiiiin!

"We hit it off, und after a date? Well, a Steiner is quick to open their heart." She explains.

Takumi Yoru has posed:
"Mmmhm. I love to cook. I couldf totally cook for both of you. Whenever." She swallows, not used to being nice to people. But this seems...different.

She smirks a bit at Hannah's tone and then nods. "I told you about my family back home. Yakuza." She openly admits that in front of Amy. "I ditched them for a reason. Their opinions mean shit to me."

She smiles and winks at Amy when Hannah chides her a bit, too. "Singing could be cool. I sing, too. And play instruments. I bet it's...different kinda music, though." She shrugs a shoulder. She fidgets at the mention of the date, and nods.

Amanda Faust has posed:
    Amy uhhs, "I sung a bit when I was a kid, I didn't sing at the dance, she just thinks my voice sounds nice..." mention of which does make her blush though.

    Someone enjoys watching a tall fit girl practice swordplay? "Don't we all?" Hmm, note to self, make sure to also come to one of these training sessions. Quick to open their heart? Amy smiles, "You sure are, and I'm so glad for it." She nods her head.

    Takumi offers to cook. "I don't want to impose, but I'd love to try your cooking! I'll have to cook something for you two as well."

    And then: Yakuza: "[Holy shit.]" Amy breathes, her tone not one of 'oh wow Yakuza impressive' so much as 'bad enough having a family you don't get along with but they're mobsters too? *yikes*.' And nods.

    But on to happier topics! "Oh, I dunno! If your music taste is like your fashion taste we might like a lotta the same stuff!" Amy smiles.

Hannah Steiner has posed:
Two fists clench enthusiastically! "Yes! Spoil /both of us/ und Lyra aside, Takumi! But be warned! I am freunds with frau Terios, whose House is one to surpass even the most learned of chefs from mein..." She almost says 'planet'.

"From mein home! You shall be JUDGED under Sankt und mein own tongue!" Someone's enthusiastic for /actual food/, she's dipping deep into the well of drama right about now!

Which makes her cough and groan uncomfortably. "Acht, kark...right, stabbings." Grrr. She sounds so frustrated!

Also when Takumi reveals her family origins, Hannah just /grins/ as though it's a great idea to date a technical-maybe-ex-maaaaaybe-fudge-the-details-yakuza!

She makes great decisions.

"...Does that mean there are no Duels with your family members in the making?" Hannah just sounds so /sad/ about that. "I will even start it meinself if it is helpful!" What is it with this Belkan and dueling!?

And then Amy is trying to downplay her voice! "Nein! I know well the sound of a siren when I hear one! Und yours makes mein heart beat more swiftly with every single syllable. In fact, I've half a mind to teach you mein own language, just to embrace that voice so much tighter!" Comes Hannah with a warm smile to Amy.

And then it's her turn to both blush, and preen a little. She openly /flexes/ for the two, the gym-rat style Belkan more than happy to show off evidence of her people's devotion to 'melee spec'd'! Also punching each other for honor.

"Now as much as I would /love/ to inspire a band fit to outdo Rammstein, I am exhausted und I fear only the arms of an engel und a teuful shall lull mein acheing body to sleep~" Comes the young woman at first dramatically, and then with a tired, pained yawn.

Lyra hiss-borks!

"....Come! Mind the neck, but mein arms are find und in lack of warmth. Praise the Sankt there are two beautiful girls I do so love here to spoil me as though I were royalty!" Over in the corner? Blauer Greif inwardly /cries/ at such remarks. What ever shall she do with her charge!?

Amanda Faust has posed:
    HANNAH NO. "/Hannah/." Amy says, with a bit of forcefulness. "Do not duel Yakuza for fun." She's back to blushing and looking away and shyly trying to make herself small when her voice is complimented, growing increasingly red as it goes on.

    Hannah flex, and she's not sure how she feels about that. Maybe she's demi-something? "Learning German with you might be fun..." She smiles.

    At the request for hugs she grins at Takumi, "Well, how can we refuse?"

    As if she were royalty? "You are though." Oops. She recovers with, "Princess of my heart." and as cheesy of a smile as she can manage.
