Broken Fists, Staunch Defense (Elyss/Hanako)

“Mmm…” A weak vocal response for Hanako.

Elyss doesn’t push the subject. Her only reaction is to allow Hanako fumble through her words, listening to how the woman had reverted back into a little girl mentally. There is probably some fashion of trauma placed within Hanako’s words, but that’s not something for Elyss to question or worry about, not yet anyway. Sad or not, that’s just life. Even as Hanako finished, Elyss didn’t turn towards the woman. No doubt Hanako’s expression is one twisted with pain.

“Let’s go out somewhere, on Earth. I know a nice restaurant.”

She’d then stand and stretch before moving towards where she placed her clothes, leaving Hanako to her bewilderment due to the redhead’s sudden statement. The woman did say she wanted to hang out again. Why leave it to chance when they can plan something now? Nah, Elyss would rather have a schedule then wonder if the two would ever come into contact randomly out on the streets.

“I’ll be coming to get you this time next week. Clear up your schedule.”

There’s no room for debate, for Elyss’ mind has been made up. Whether Hanako is ready or not is but little consequence, for the small brute would just drag the big woman from whatever work she may dare find herself lost in after Elyss has made her claim of the other’s time. Dropping her towel, her clothes would be put on absentmindedly before a hand runs through her hair. Her locks haven’t been this straight since… A small smile would play at her lips before she’d move towards the exit. She’ll save Hanako the embarrassment of it all and simply leave the woman wondering.

In the end, she is as much of a tease as her mother.
