They don't have to be stronger than you, they just have to be smarter than you.

[Implied: And that's not very hard at all.]

[lumokinetic]

"My next class won't be for awhile," she answered, expression already lightening just a bit; she preferred keeping busy instead of leaving gaps in her routine. "What kind of stuff did you have in mind?"

[princesstenko]

"A bit of math tutoring... applied to altering light." Clever girl.

[lumokinetic]

She paused.

Then smirked.

"You're going to quiz me right here and have me to do my work with my flashlight, aren't you." The thought by itself was actually rather amusing.

[princesstenko]

"Not at all, actually. We're going to be doing some advanced equations involved in determining the qualities of light. Consider it a science lesson to boot."

[lumokinetic]

Midori's smirk turned into a wholly-amused grin, one that most people could call uncharacteristic of her. She could have been wrong, but that sounded a bit to her like it could turn out to be a start toward having finer control over her ability.

"Challenge accepted." She popped the flashlight open and took a moment to swap the batteries for fresh ones, just in case it would be needed.

[drownyourideals]

If it's a task of similar magnitude. And only if it isn't something you cocked up yourself in the first place.

[drownyourideals]

"Ah, of course, of course. Silly me. It's just that borrowing without permission is so similar, it's hard to tell sometimes." Though he did wonder... "To be serious, is there something you need, or are you just here to 'borrow' my food?"

[puppy_lancer]

Getting thrown through the wall shouldn't count as cocking up, right?

[drownyourideals]

Even if it doesn't, [and, honestly, he's not sure that's the case] the scale of the two issues are still nowhere close.

[puppy_lancer]

...Wow, look at your priorities. You really think gum on the ceiling is a bigger issue than a hole in the wall, huh?

[drownyourideals]

That's the exact opposite of what I said. I'm not doing you a large favor in exchange for something that shouldn't even count as one.

[puppy_lancer]

I'd suggest you wingman for me on a night out, but you're such an ass that you'd turn all the women off of both of us.

[drownyourideals]

[Oh ok. He does laugh at that one. "Such an ass" indeed.]

I'm not sure I agree with that assessment, but I'm not exactly tripping over myself to play wingman for you, either. Charity cases aren't really my thing.

[princesstenko]

"What, I can't just want to share your company? Really now, Archer-san, you seem to be out to offend me." Keeping up that facade nicely, it seemed.

[puppy_lancer]

Or would it count more as a favor that I'm doing for you? You don't really get out much when you're on your own.

[drownyourideals]

...Touching as your concern may be, I'm perfectly capable of going out on my own.

[drownyourideals]

"Now, now. I never said wanting to share my company wasn't a valid answer. I'd just prefer to know upfront."

[princesstenko]

"I should hope so. Because that's really all it is. Men these days just can't seem to imagine a woman wanting the have lunch with them without ulterior motives. What is our world coming to..." Ran let out a false sigh, shaking her head.

[puppy_lancer]

How come I never see you in any of the bars then?

[impersonal_space]

I will consider it a bonus.

Relief will come to the bunny, who is free to frolic without any further interference. Perhaps Katt's new target won't be so relieved, but if the woman with the long blonde hair is at all bothered by being discovered, she doesn't show it. No, Yukari is as elegant and poised as always. Standing there on top of a recently felled stump, in her fancy dress and clean heels, without any sign in the grass around her that she actually set foot on the ground at any point, the lady just stood there looking out from under the protective canopy of her parasol.

"Lovely day for a walk," she says without a hint of irony. It really was a good day for getting some fresh air.

[everyone_wants_to_be_a]

Just as the events with the bunny started to give a rise to Katt's instincts, so to was meeting this woman in the flesh. Katt heard her. Smelled her. Saw her. And yet something warned her that this was something that she wanted and that she could undo these things at a moment's notice. Almost ephemerally, like a ghost. A part of her mind warned the catgirl that to pick a fight with this one was suicidal. And an even louder part said to do it, since she was going out of her way to mess with her hunt.

How? Katt hadn't the faintest idea.

"I knew it was you." Katt accused, pointing a clawed finger at the woman sitting on the stump. A blind accusation, perhaps, but one full of certainty.

[princesstenko]

Yukari, this is a public channel.

[drownyourideals]

I wasn't aware bar-hopping is the only form of "getting out."
