A Friend's First Outing [Emelie x Hiroe]

Gazing between her soul pager and the haori she was in the midst of tailoring to fit her considerably taller newfound companion - Emelie. Pouring her heart into the product, Hiroe had discarded any idea of getting dressed up or applying a special type of makeup to look presentable, her entire focus given unto the commemorative haori. Her fingers danced along the fabric as her family assisted her with a provision of materials. Weaving the string there, administering a soft touch of Reiryoku elsewhere to accelerate the process. Wash . Rinse. Repeat. With her own hands and the assistance of someone else to ensure she maintained proper focus, Hiroe had weaved together a crimson-red Haori before applying the final touch, using kido to imprint "ᛚᛟᛜ ᛚᛁᚠᛖ" in the center of the back of the red jacket before giving it a once-over.

Wiping a small bead of sweat from her head, Hiroe held it close to her body warmly, content with her final product. She hoped Emelie would be, too. HIroe would neatly fold the hip-length jacket within a medium-sized box, applying enough care so that there would be no wrinkles within this special present. Her preparations complete, Hiroe would hug her mother and father, thanking them for assisting her in the construction of this wonderful outfit before making a beeline for the door.

Hiroe would gaze at her soul pager with present in hand, utilizing the finest display of flash step she could muster as she quickly dashed through any civilian that was in her way, evading them until she saw Emelie ahead, sitting at her chair. She looked so pretty! Which, of course, made her self-conscious about not changing into something as pretty herself. That was neither here nor there. She walked up and hugged the crimson-haired woman before sitting in the other chair, breathing heavily as she wiped away the sweat on her head. What a mess... but the present. That was the important part.

"Sorry if I was late, Emelie... for taking the time to befriend me so genuinely and passionately, I wanted to give you a present and see your reaction. You look nice, by the way! Hehehe... I was busy working on what's inside this box, so I'm sorry if I look a little disheveled."
