It looks like it'll be me and Umi, Tohno-san and his sister and Aisaka-san and Izumi-san.
It was supposed to be a white cake.

[Hikaru just stares at the counter in front of her, holding onto that egg. Umi would probably know better what to do than her.]
...Yeah, but...
...Yeah, but...
[Okay!
Though I haven't met Tohno and his sister yet.]
Though I haven't met Tohno and his sister yet.]
I haven't either, but Umi's been talking to them.
Umi's going to help me, but thanks.
I'm getting good at cooking, so you can ask if you ever need help, 'kay?
[Fine, now this is far more serious than Umi imagined. Not that she didn't imagine Hikaru's feelings were deep, going by how she'd spoken before. It still seems as if there was something missing. Something troubling her best friend that she wants to understand.]
But...? [Setting the pan aside, Umi reaches to put a hand on Hikaru's shoulder] Do you wanna talk about it?

[Ah, so she's made friends already?]
[Hikaru set the egg down, trying to think. No one had... really asked about it since Ty Lee left, so she'd been trying to figure it out on her own.]
...I don't... know how to do any of this. [She smiles almost tiredly. She didn't know what to do in a relationship, she didn't know how to talk about it.] I'm sure there's someone who knows a lot more about this out there than me.

[Umi sighs deeply. She truly wishes she could be one to have a better clue about how to go about this sort of situations. In all truth, for what boyfriends she's had, none of them truly meant much more than a passing thing. Hikaru's face... Umi needs but look at her to understand things are different here. Real.]
I... don't think you have to do anything but follow your heart. I mean... I'm not the best person to talk about this. [She laughs a bit. Her grip on Hikaru's shoulder relents and Umi gives her a little pat.] But it's not as if there's a How To book out there. Just be true to your feelings.

action | <333 how much more packing do you have left? :o

[Hikaru finally looked up at her friend. She was sure Umi would've known, but... Still, she was just glad Umi was there. She laughed a little, rubbing at the back of her head]
M-maybe, but... I think he gets a little impatient with me being slow sometimes. But I just want to make sure he's smiling.

[Boy, does she hope this boy is the right one for Hikaru. Umi never considered being where she stands right now, but now understands this is really what an older sister must feel, thinking about her little one falling for someone. Funny to think Hikaru's actually the eldest of the two.]
Slow?? The impatient type, huh? Well, he better respect your own pace or I'll have to beat him up for being pushy~! [That's her joking tone, but who knows. Hikaru's always taking this kind of teasing seriously.]

![[identity profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/openid.png)
A-ah well, I mean-- I-i forgot a lot of the time when he first asked me, so--
[Taken seriously? Why would Hikaru ever-- oh because she just can't help it. It took a few seconds for her to realize Umi was joking.] I-i don't think you have to worry about that.

You... forgot?
[Umi's smile fades into a frown, her whole face suddenly dead serious. Her hands grab the bowl and grip it hard.]
...This place meddled with you two.

[Hikaru watched Umi for a while, trying to figure out what Umi was getting at.]
...What do you mean?
...What do you mean?
[Her grasp on the bowl relaxes a little, but Umi's face stays serious. Almost angry.]
You just said you forgot. About him? Did this City play one of its curses on you so you didn't remember him? What did you forget?

[That's what she was-- Hikaru tried to rethink her words.]
No! The City hasn't done that. It wasn't anything like that. I meant-- Just sometimes at the beginning, I'd forget we were together. I didn't think of him like that then.

[It's hard to hold back a sigh of relief. Umi discovers she's been holding her breath. IF the City dared touch Hikaru or Kid, or even TRY to mess with their relationship... let's just say there would be consequences. Of the big kind that involve tsunamis.]
That's... just natural! I mean-! This is all new to you, after all! Having a boyfriend...
[She shakes her head slowly, feeling silly.] You scared me for a moment there. I thought this place had done something to your feelings...

... No, it hasn't. [Hikaru couldn't help but smile at Umi. She really did care about them, not that she hadn't expected it. Still, it was reassuring to see.]
But we need to finish this cake! [little loli armpump went into the air as she raised her sleeve. Hikaru was determined to get this cake right.]

![[identity profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/openid.png)
[Umi has to chuckle and let go of her worries at seeing Hikaru so enthusiastic about the cake. So why not. She'll worry when the situation arises. For now she'll just make sure that Hikaru and her boyfriend stay happy.]
You're right! And it's not getting anywhere like this. Let's check your next step!
Though, Hikaru... [Umi smiles warmly.] You know you can come to me about this, right?

Okay! [It took her a few seconds of staring to remember where they were.] Ingredients, ingredients... Ah! Here.
Umi, can you hand me the bowl?
Umi, can you hand me the bowl?
Here you go! [She passes the bowl and makes more of the ingredients available, happy to leave the subject for now. Hikaru seems happy, after all.]
So! Do you want me to give you a hand or want to do it all by yourself for your friend? I can just supervise~ [Boy, that sounds cheeky, but it's what she's been doing, after all.]
