---

Hinote Kagari has posed:
"Did anyone... get the license plate of that truck that hit me?" he'd joke to the mundane infirmary attendant as he laid in the bed and given what was some sort of OTC pain medication. He watched the attendant leave and then flop backwards, head to pillow as Tracy, who did not look much better than him and a little scuffed up, leaned on a windowsill as it was raining out today.

"It was a dark and stormy night..."

"Only half right." Hinote said as it was day now.

He would rest for now, staring at the ceiling. "Legend didn't say anything about 'then the rosebush came to life and ate you'..." he says curiously.

"Eh it's over now." he was speaking to himself. Look it's a habit.

Amanda Faust has posed:
    "I don't think the youma was part of the legend... not that people would have remembered it if it drained them and they got actual magic roses... although if it was, then I guess it's just a regular rose now, we purified the heck out of it." Amy comments, as she walks into the room. "Miho's on her way. How are you feeling?" She looks over him in concern.

Veronica Perenna has posed:
"Wouldn't an adventure under the moonlight be more romantic than a dark light, though?", the Princess of Sarek remarks to Tracy, standing against the wall. "He did that for his beau, after all."

"It certainly wasn't", the Princess agrees with Amy. "Or at least, none I have heard. The Veil could have gotten in the way and stopped the people from talking about a youma. It's quite fortunate our good detective drove her out. If that went on any further, it could have very well been a disaster."

"Especially if it had matured enough to hurt one of us like that", she winces.

Miho Inada has posed:
    Miho was in her dorm room, working on a new song. She hasn't told Hinote about her songs yet, and been toying with the idea. The woman has her headphones on one ear, off the other as she toys with a few options on her mini VR DJ set. Miho is thinking about the battle that Molly, Laura, and her had with Chrono. It gave her some inpiration for the song. She thinks for a moment. "Battle of Chrono? Chrono Time?", she muses as she listens to it. The woman notices her phone though. The woman is getting used to all the messages from everyone now. And if its certain matters, its likely magic related. She noticed a text mentioning Hinote was in the infirmry. Wait?! WHAT?!

    Miho looks over at her Dorm mate. "Hey, something important came up. Got to go! I might not be back tonight.", she warns. "Just in case, leave the window open?", she asks. The dorm mate just looks at her.

    "Look if its your boyfriend, just say its your boyfriend. I know you've been sneaking out. Just...please don't bring him here. I'd like to get some sleep.", her dorm mate says while flipping a page to a novel she's reading. This just leads to Miho blushing even more before she takes off running.

    So yes, Miho ran from the dorms, and dispite knowing she could have gone through the school to get here, she ran outside the dorms to get to the infirmy that much faster. She slides into the building, and then gets to the infirmy. The woman is panting a bit, and a little wet. She's got on a sweat shirt, and some sweatpants on. "H-Hinote? Is he alright?", she asks. Miho looks at Tracy, seeing him a bit roughed up. She breathes out, relieved. From what she knows, if Tracy is up and about, Hinote may be hurting but...

Hinote Kagari has posed:
Hinote Kagari grimaces. "I should have that rose checked to see if it's dangerous before I go giving it to anyone." he says to Amy and the Princess of Sarek. He blinks. "Wait, Miho's coming!? Miho Inada!? Why!? I'm not ready! I AM COMPLETELZY UNPRESENTABLE!" he cries as he draws the blanket of the infirmary bed over his head.

Then Miho arrives and he's hiding under the blankets. "Tell her I'm dead or something!" he says.

"He's fine, dollface." says Tracy as he looks back out the window.

"No I'm not. I'm Dead." he says. He finally unhides from his blanket. Yeah he looks like he got hit by a truck still, but at least he's awake.

Amanda Faust has posed:
    "The... the rose is probably fine..." Amy starts to reply, but then he's freaking out about Miho. Unpresentable? "Dude, you're in the infirmary. This isn't... No one cares if you look cool, she's just gonna be glad you're okay..."

    Tell her I'm dead. "Wouldn't that make it way worse?!"

    "Uh, hi Miho! Hinote is, um."

    She types something on her phone.

    Hinote gets a text from Amy: Dude the story that you fought off a real monster to get her the rose is *more* impressive, isn't it?!

Veronica Perenna has posed:
"Nobody expects you to be presentable when you have gotten hurt, Hinote-san. But don't worry about it. Your love life is in good hands", Veronica tells him.

Miho's sudden entrance can't help but gather attention. The Princess of Sarek stands as soon she barges in. "That was a nasty incident, but that is what is to be expected when someone is as dedicated and brave as as he is", the girl with the hair of moonlight tells Miho.

She then takes her top hat off and bows towards her. "The Princess of Sarek, at your service. You must be Hinote-san's beau. Pleasure to make your acquaintance, Miho-san. I do have to say he seems to be dead set on you, though", she winks.

Miho Inada has posed:
    Miho takes a deep breath, and tries to relax herself a bit. "S-sorry, I didn't take my phone to the TSAB training. I just dropped into the zone, and completely forgot about it.", she tells. Miho looks down a little bit. "Wh-what happend?!", she asks. The woman looks at Amy, and nods her head a little bit. "I know Hinote's pretty good, and Amy, I know you did everything you could.", she tells. The woman walks over to Amy, and gives her hug. "You alright?", she asks Amy.

    The woman looks over at the Princess of Serek. She watches her a moment. "I...see.", Miho says. There's more to the story then whats being told, but she's not going to press right now. "Thank you for helping him.", she says. Miho bites her lower lip, a nervious habit she's been picking up lately.

    Miho then moves over to the side of the bed. She pulls up a chair, and pulls the sheet down a little bit. The woman hugs Hinote! She sits down, looking Hino over. Being a martial artist, she's used to seeing people beat up. For now, she's looking for spots that're swollen.

Hinote Kagari has posed:
Hinote Kagari texts Amy back from under the covers quickly:

'But what if the rose is a cursed love rose now!? Cuuuuurrrsed...'

He gives The Princess of Sarek a look of incredulity before he looks over to Miho. "I'm. Fine." he says. He's not fine. He's bruised at least a little and maybe a little swollen in the elbow of the arm nearest to Miho, as he says. "I just took some meds, I'll be finnnnne." he insists again. Again, he's not fine, he's obviously in a little discomfort as he winces a little when he moves.

He coughs. "Well." he says.

"I was uh. Following an urban legend about a magic rose bush. And it turned out it was a youma. And it hit me. Like a truck. But don't worry. I understand it's sleeping with the fishes now." he says, to borrow some pertinent lingo.

Amanda Faust has posed:
    Amy is hugged! "Uh, I'm fine!" She healed her scratched-up arm already. "It just scratched me a little..." she smiles awkwardly, "Magical Terminator, remember? You don't gotta worry about me."

    You did everything you could. "We all did. Tuxedo Mask was there, too."

    The phone is still in her hand, and she glances at the message before letting go of Miho.

    And Hinote explains, sort of, and Amy looks at him incredulously. "Oh, come on!" Amy throws up her hands. "What kind of way to tell the story is that??? You're leaving out the... the part that was the whole point! The part that's gonna sound cool, you know! /Why/ you did it!"

Veronica Perenna has posed:
"Do not worry about it, I am always to help when it's needed. It does help that I am all about thievery for a good cause", she replies cheerfully. "If you find yourself in need of something, I will try to be around and help", the moonlight princess produces a calling card for Miho to hold.

It doesn't have any contact number, but it does have a pretty insignia and it comes with a more friendly message than the one reserved for her thefts, if a bit playful still. "Fairness is the game, and stealing my craft. So why don't I take your worries as well?" Signed as the Princess of Sarek.

"I do have to agree with Amy", Veronica doesn't give any sign of minding that look of incredulity. "Unless you are planning something in grand style for later, she has heard most of it, so there is no time like the present. And I am sure she will in fact like the present", the Phantom Thief gives a bit of encouragement.

Miho Inada has posed:
    Miho takes a long moment to listen in to everything, and accepts the card. She gathers a bit of the blanket around her hands, wrapping them. The woman lightly grabs around Hinote's elbow, and starts to settle her breathing. She's been practicing this with her water. Its a lot harder outside of henshin, but in a case like this..."If this hurts, I'll stop.", she tells Hino. Suddenly, it feels like there's two ice packs gently pressing against his elbow. "I don't feel anything broken, but there's a lot of swelling here.", she says.

    Miho does kinda look at Amy and Serek. "...So...Urban legend, Rose bush Youma...And...Tuxedo Mask? So...I'm new to this, but if I understand what I'm hearing...Tuxedo Mask is one of the upper tiers? And you all took on this youma cause it was causing a danger?", Miho asks. "I know you like to investigate things. I'll have to somehow find Mister Mask. Amy, you know him personally? Or should I ask Chrono? Chrono wants to talk to me later anyways.", she tells.

    Miho watches Hinote a little bit. "I don't see anything screaming at me about things being broken, and you have your senses, so your head is on right.", she tells. The woman leans over a little bit, watching how Hino reacts.

Hinote Kagari has posed:
Hinote Kagari looks between Amy and Sarek a bit as he rolls his eyes. "H-hey I can't... not while I'm like this..!" he cries. He looks over to Miho as she touches and clasps hands around his elbow and he b-b-blushes as it feels like there's ice packs there. It doesn't hurt. It's cold. He does shiver. "Cold." he says.

"Ugh... fine. Tracy..." he says. Tracy floats down and produces the rose. He gives it a little sniff, eyes closing a little. "I stole a rose, and fought a monster to get this..." he says, before opening his eyes and presenting the rose to Miho.

"It's...for you.. you know." he says, still blushing.

Amanda Faust has posed:
    Upper tiers? There aren't tiers! ...Okay, it's kind of true though... He and Usagi have a lot of power to draw on sometimes... Amy looks puzzled at Miho being surprised they'd know eachother... Wait, she's new... "Oh my gosh did you not get introduced to folks? We'll have to take you to the Shed later."

    Beat.

    "...Okay yeah now that I say it out loud I hear it too, but it's like, our secret hiding place for magical folks. And... yeah, I know him."

    Amy breathes a sigh of relief when the magical healer(?!) announces nothing is broken. "That's encouraging..."

    And then he presents the rose! Amy smiles and turns to watch Miho's reaction, explaining, "He heard a legend that if you steal a rose from a certain garden and give it to the one you love... Uhh, wait, I'm telling it wrong," she gets a bit flustered, "well, it sounded romantic was the point!" she grins enthusiastically, hoping this will go well... Hinote is the boy she was talking about before, right? It will be so awkward if he isn't...

Veronica Perenna has posed:
Hmm, we both know Tuxedo-san, so I suppose reaching him wouldn't be the hardest thing, but he will probably want to meet you in his transformation", she warns, just in case there was a need to set the right expectations. Which she admittedly doesn't know if that's the case, but better doing it than not.

Especially since that Miho seems to be so new that she hasn't seen the fence yet. The only place that she knows of where even she has to use the door like everyone else. "Have you really not been to the Shed?", the thief smiles. "That sounds like an awesome idea. There is tons of neat stuff in the Shed. And it's where all the amazing sparkle stuff happens."

Giving an encouraging smile to Hinote, Veronica takes a few steps away from the two and towards the main door. "I think we may have done our part", she whispers to Amy. "What do you say we disappear here and let them be alone with each other?" she suggests.

Miho Inada has posed:
    Miho listens a bit. Then Tracy comes down, and produces the rose. Her eyes go wide, and there's a small gasp. At this point, everyone and everything else is just...noise at the moment. She knows Amy is saying something, but she can't hear it at the moment. She looks at the rose, and then back to Hinote. The arm behind the elbow slides up to his back, and helps him sit up a little bit.

    At this point, Miho leans forward a bit more before...she kisses him. The woman closes her eyes as the world just kinda melts away. She's breathing a bit more heavily now, and after a few more seconds, she breaks away. Yup...definitely the boy she was talking about, Amy. Miho brushes a small piece of hair behind her ear, blushing horribly...

Hinote Kagari has posed:
Hinote Kagari waits for Miho to take the rose. But that doesn't happen right away. Instead. Hinote gets a kiss. And this does absolutely nothing for the blush he was already wearing and it's getting worse and all the blood in his body is probably in his face right now.

Still, he takes a hard breath to calm down when Miho breaks away and he gives a little bit of a huff.

"Well, I think that worked." he says, a little cooly, trying to be cool about it. He clears his throat. "So uh.." what did Rashmi and Bow say to do next. Date. Right. Ask her out on a date! PROPER DATE not whatever that shopping thing was.

Then he gives Miho a blank look.

OH CRAP HE DIDN'T THINK THAT FAR YET!

"Dinner at the Korma Chameleon, after I am able to visit Tuxedo Mask? I really need a proper heal first." he admits.

"Because I'm not fine my everything kind of hurts."

Amanda Faust has posed:
    Awwwwww, young folk in love! Amy smiles, she's happy that they're happy! She's about to head out with Veronica when she overhears that last bit. "Well. Apparently your love is a healer, maybe she can help? Although, I guess there's something to be said for having a more experienced healer check her work after... is magic healing technique something you can teach? I have no idea..." if the Princess of Sarek drags her away now though she'll go along with it!

Miho Inada has posed:
    Miho takes a deep breath, and nods her head. "Y-yeah. Dinner at Korma.", she says. The woman blushes a bit as she watches Hinote. She also gives Tracy a small kiss on the cheek. The woman takes the rose. She hears Amy talk about her being a healer. "O-oh! I...havn't tried to heal anyone yet. Just MMA training. We learn the signs to look for in injuries to know if something has happend. Think...kinda like more advanced First aid since we have to set bone sometimes.", she admits.

    The woman takes a deep breath. "I think I'll crash here with Hinote. I'll talk to you later, Amy.", she says. Miho blushes horribly as she moves the chair over to where Hinote can rest up, and she can sit there with him. She's gone back to doing her ice pack thing. The woman does nod to Sarek and Amy, wishing them a good night.

Veronica Perenna has posed:
Veronica gives a brief smile at the positive reception for the gift and the kiss between the two. They really like each other, and the whole thing ended just as well as It should have, which means it's time for them to make their exit.

"Would you look at that? Time is really flying and we have lots of work to do for our Halloween gig, so if you will excuse us, best we get to it", the thief says the first excuse passing through her mind and takes Amy's arm, quickly dragging her away.
