( semi-open ) they can take my breath

Who: Leanne (regives) & various
What: Your girl's a fugitive on the run.
When: The first of October and the days following!
Where: All around Olympia.
Warning(s): None... for now.


a.)

[ A situation going from bad to worse should be relatively familiar to Leanne, but that doesn't save her from the overwhelming amount of surprise that hits her when news of the explosion finally surfaces. She of course experiences concern for who may be close to the blast, and then is immediately taken aback when the announcement that included her name also rings through.

Undoubtedly there's an explanation that needs to be made. But given her wavering trust there's no way for her to turn herself in, especially when she's being accused for a crime she didn't commit.

Though her luck continues to be a distant thing as the podcast is made when she's trying to make herself back to her apartment. Taking the back streets in hopes of avoiding those who are fully prepared to round up those accused without hesitation, she knows a little silver is enough to motivate anybody. So when she's peering around the next corner and makes blatant eye contact with another person she immediately shrinks back. Way to go, girl, hopefully they didn't notice? But if they did... maybe if she acts normal then they could go on their way without there being an unnecessary bump in the road.

Or not. She's a little glad she left the house with better shoes to run in today. ]

b.)

[ So are you trying to help her get from point A to point B without getting noticed? Great, you're a pal, and Leanne's got the greatest idea known to man: by acting like your terribly non-suspicious girlfriend! With an oversize jacket on her shoulders with the hood pulled up on top of her head she's pretty much the definition of ominous. And while she wouldn't say that she is some sort of award winning actress she does at least try to make the plan of her pretending to be your sick significant other work somehow.

Leanne keeps a hand firmly around the other person's arm. Holding onto them tightly as a heavy weight of anxiety rests on her shoulders. ]

I'm kinda surprised that this is working. [ Oh! Someone's looking, she pretends to cough. ] But I'm glad... sorry for dragging you into this.

[ hai ]

I've never heard of it. [ This method. Which probably isn't all that surprising, but promises aren't new to him. His entire life had hinged on one. Maybe it still does, a thought that softens his expression. ] But I'm alive because of a promise.

[ Taking a moment to flex his fingers, Mikazuki finally mimics her, holding his pinky out. ]

So I'll make one with you too.

[ She's unsure of how to react to what he says entirely. A little confused, yet happy that he's going to at least indulge in this little request of hers no matter how childish it may be from the perspective of someone else. Perhaps there will be another day where she receives a better explanation, but for the time being she'll shove her curiosity aside. ]

Then... [ She hooks her pinky finger with his. ] I swear that I won't get in trouble, but if I do then I'll contact you first thing.

[ Which should be easy to keep, but it warms her heart just by doing something so simple. ]

There! As simple as that, see?

[sparsity]

[ Once they shake on it, he nods, the odd twinge of familiarity enough to keep his attention neatly reined in. ]

Okay. If you're in trouble, I'll find you.
