OOC:
IC: "You're my friend, why wouldn't I?" Andrew chuckled as he settled against one of the bars showing the line.
"It could be worse." Aeliana pointed out with a shrug, though grinning as she got her good mood back.

OOC:
IC: "Hm, I'll just have to surprise you back sometime," Polaris mused with a grin, leaning against a railing too.
OOC:
IC: "When won't you? It's kind of assumed at this point." Andrew pointed out with a raised eyebrow. "As you certainly won't let me spoil you under normal circumstances."
OOC:
IC: "I'm not the one that needs spoiled," Polaris chuckled pointedly.
OOC:
IC: "We're both Magical Boys, we both need it." Andrew pointed out with a wryly amused deadpan. "Just like the girls do as well."
OOC:
IC: "If they let us," Polaris joked, glancing at the girls. he ignored how right, though uncomfortable, Andrew's point was.
OOC:
IC: "Which is something we all do then." Silver finished with a small chuckle, knowingly trying to give him a reassuring look.
OOC:
IC: Polaris grinned at her and rolled his eyes, but didn't start for the moment. He kind of doubted anyone who didn't get money from him had the money to spoil each other...but that wasn't what today was about, and everyone always dogpiled him when he talked that way anyway.
OOC:
IC: "You all sound like you've been together in a nursing home for a decade." Bella scoffed jokingly, in the middle of fixing her ponytail. "Not like thats bad, but it's rather gushy."
OOC:
IC: "Who says we haven't?" Polaris joked back. "You and I should be in one anyway."
OOC:
IC: "Don't remind me, as much as I want to move past this awkward teen phase, I dont particularly wish for the cracking bones and detoriating body of old age." Bella scoffed with a shake of her head. Honestly, she wasnt even sure what she would have done in old age, though she guessed she didnt have to worry about that now.
OOC:
IC: "Speak for yourself," Polaris joked, cracking his back with the railing then cracking his fingers.
OOC:
IC: "If my immortality and enhanced reflexes didn't border on illegal, I would be fit enough to be on par with Olympic athletes. At the very least, I wouldn't be deteriorating till the 80s." Bella snickered with a confident smirk, finishing fixing her hair and leaning back on the railing herself. "So sorry, you'll have to old man sympathize with Aaron when he feels better."
OOC:
IC: Polaris just scoffed in amusement. "Yeah. Hey how did you get so fit, anyway?" He almost asked if it had to do with her wish, but he stopped himself.
OOC:
IC: "Well, I had to find something to do when Aaron left me for the war, and mom was...gone, and I...." Bella trailed off, her face going blank for a moment before she shook her head and tried to regather herself. "Through one shenanigan or another, I found this boxing ring in a town nearby, I had a knack and found someone willing to teach even a girl in the 60s, and I've been doing it since. I've made it a goal to learn every type of fighting style I could get my hands on." And then it hit her that she had never told Polaris she was actually an expert at a lot of forms of hand to hand combat. She chuckled sheepishly and glanced up.
"I'm actually a well trained fighter."
"That sounds so cool!" Silver whispered, almost having the starry eye affect with her impressed grin of excitement.
OOC:
IC: Polaris blinked and appraised her. "Hunh. None of it's from your...?" He held up his ring hand and wiggled it, remembering they were in public whatever language they spoke.
OOC:
IC: "I mean, I'm sure some of the strength and dexterity is from it, but I'm pretty fit on my own without counting in my...special factor." Bella managed to catch on and not directly mention it, for all it now sounded like she was using drugs. Oh well, they'd have no proof in any case. "But its all for my protection and Aaron's, so that blurred line doesn't matter much to me."
OOC: pffffff
IC: "Hunh," Polaris mused, no sure what else to say. Her last words gave him a bad feeling, but he couldn't pin it down and he didn't want to upset her again today. he fished around a bit for a joke to break his weird air. "So you've been bench pressing tractors this whole time then?"
OOC:
IC: "Benching---? I mean, i could, but i'd get arrested for that." Bella laughed, jokingly flexing her arm.
"Could...could you teach me some of what you know?" Silver asked sheepishly after a moment, gaze immediately dropping to her feet. It just...sounded cool to her, and for the first time in a while, it sounded like something genuinely fun to learn. Bella stopped in surprise at the request, but grinned and nodded.
"I can if you want, though you'll be the first p3rson I've taught, just give me a moment to catch on."
OOC:
IC: Polaris blinked in surprise at Silver's request, though he quickly turned it into a smile. He would fret, but he also knew it was obviously something that would help Silver, if not as a hobby then for her self esteem. Besides, the thought of Silver starting to excel at that like Bella kind of made him giddy, and they hadn't even started yet.
"Please don't beat up my girlfriend, Bella," he joked.
