Slipping (invite only)

First topic message reminder :

Hasuhana sat on the floor in the dance studio, clad in dark stretchy shorts and a green cami, massaging her ankle. She had been practicing her dance when her ankle had twisted. She sighed and leaned back against the mirror as she rotated it carefully, trying to get it loosened up. She didn’t think she could continue to practice but she was sweaty and tired and she wanted to at least be able to shower without twisting it again.

Zero looked back over at the dove, it's concentration fully on Seishin. He looked over to Seishin, her cheeks slightly tinted pink. He didn't say anything, but he smiled, looking back over at the dove, who now turned its attention to him. There he sat, locked in the gaze of the dove.

"B-birds are amazing..." Hasuhana commented quietly. "Y-you wouldn't think t-there could ever be a-an earthy creature like t-them..." She smiled slightly when she saw its gaze lock with Zero's, seeing him just as captured as she had been.

"They are aren't they?" Zero said silently. He was captured fully in the bird's stare, looking at everything and nothng. Finally the dove flew away and Zero seemed to be back in control of his body. He looked over back at Seishin. "You feel better?" Zero asked, looking at her ankle.

She rotated her ankle a little. "It f-feels better... i-it doesn't ache as m-much," she said, taking the ice off and testing her foot on the ground. It held and she smiled slightly. "I t-think its b-better," she said softly, taking a couple tentative steps, and nodding when nothing happened other then her limping slightly.

Zero smiled. "Good. I know you don't want to be layed up in here the whole time." Zero said, jokingly. He threw the bag of ice away. He walked out of the nurses office, helping Seishin out.

Hasuhana hobbled out of the nurses office, grateful for the help. "It'll p-probably be f-fine by t-tomorrow morning," she said looking down at her ankle. "At l-least I don't h-have any other c-classes today," she said.

"Same here, though I do have to get to work soon." Zero said, thinking. "Well, Seishin, I hope you are 100% tomorrow." Zero said to her again. He turned around and started to walk off, heading to the front door.

"B-bye..." she said, trailing off, before hitting her forehead. "W-work! I f-forgot!" she exclaimed, rubbing her temples. She hobbled off towards her dorm, preparing to do battle with her boss as she begged for a sick day.
