---

Yukio has posed:
Yukio, now with new and improved Ellie Yanki Jacketto<tm> is standing on a boat she's taken out to the lake. The oars are set within the boat, but curiously, rather than enjoying the scenario or just relaxing. She seems to be doing some sort of dance about the confined space, it may or may not be martial arts related. The important thing, her movement doesn't seem to generate any motion in the boat itself.

Negasonic has posed:
Negasonic will let Yukio do all the dancing and revelry. She will, of course, be lazing around like a proper Gen Z icon, wearing a yellow and black tracksuit and flicking her tongue piercing against her teeth. She has her feet kicked up and watches the dancing, a pair of crimson-colored sunglasses pushed up on top of her head. Why should Cyclops have all the fun?

"I know it's interpretive dance, but I can't interpret it," she says with bemusement.

Yukio has posed:
"It is not interpertive...it is arts," Yukio explains cryptically, which likely doesn't help one bit. It seems like her English has been getting better at least. She then stops and bows in the direction of Negasonic, "you want give try?" She offers, giggling already because she expects what the response might be.

Negasonic has posed:
Negasonic holds up a hand, "I wouldn't dare try to follow that performance," she grins. "Art is always in the eye of the beholder and I'm beholding you right now, so I like it. I don't know what the fuck it means or what inspired it, but I like it and that's what's important," she says. "Art comes from the soul and everyone knows I'm a soulless bitch."

Yukio has posed:
Yukio blushes slightly, enjoying the compliment, even though it's likely given in effort of avoiding Yukio trying to push her to do it. "GAH!?" Yukio gasps at Negasonic's finaly claim, and she sinks to her knees, resting comforting arms right against Ellie's body, "don't say that, Eri-chan! Everybody has souru, you have beautiful souru. Bery pretty, yes." Finding herself suddenly so close to Ellie, her gaze locks on Ellie's visage, studying her features for a moment.

Negasonic has posed:
Negasonic pushes up and cocks her head, reaching out and scritching black nails at Yukio's scalp, "I guess maybe. Magick and shit seems to be real so I suppose souls are, too. Guess I just don't like the idea much. I'd rather be an empty hole on the inside. Not everyone wants everything to mean something. But I'm glad you think so. It's nice to have at least one person think nice things about me."

Yukio has posed:
"Eeee..." Yukio makes this cute little squeaky sound as she feels Negasonic's nails along her scalp, it really is a pleasant sensation she did not anticipate. "Why you no rike the idea?" Yukio asks with a tremendous amount of interest in her tone of voice.

After another moment of observation, Yukio suddenly says, "rather be empty...sad..." as if she is thinking words out loud, and then she simply asks outright, "Eri-chan...you have many...piec, pi, pirsuingo? Pirsuingu?" She struggles with the word, and eventually just points at random piercings decorating Elli's face, "....why so many? Punish self? Looking to hurt Eri-chan?" It's pure observational, and yet, unlike some of the kids at Xavier's who may have called Ellie pin-cushion jokingly, Yukio seems truly invested in her question.

Negasonic has posed:
Negasonic frowns a little, not angry, just thinking harder than she always likes to do. The bad attitude is like the loud music, a way to not think about things. But she could never quite be properly mean to Yukio, as if some aura the girl put off made the idea of her usual cruelty a little too sharp even for her.

"Maybe. A little bit," she says. "I've seen some bad shit in my day, Yu-yu. Sometimes hurting is at least feeling something. Sometimes you'd rather just be numb," she says softly. "Nothing I can't handle. I'm okay. Pinkie promise."

Yukio has posed:
"Oh..." Yukio looks quite sad as she listens to Ellie's response, and without much thinking, she moves a bit to sprawl over Ellie, cuddling against her, "I don't want you to hurt, is ok?"

But before she can have a reply to that, she extends her pinkie towards Negasonic, "when make pinkie promise, need pinkie!"

Negasonic has posed:
Negasonic can't help but laugh and links pinkies momentarily. "Probably supposed to say some magic shit for this but I'll just stick to promise," she says.

She doesn't object to the sprawling, leaning back more in the boat to make an easier mattress for the perky Japanese girl. "I'm glad you don't want me to be hurt. I don't want you to be either. Which is more than I can say for most other human beings. Sometimes watching them get hurt is even kind of fun. Not in an evil way, though."

Yukio has posed:
"Yes, there is," Yukio looks surprised that Negasonic knew, and helpfully, she says the words for her, "yubikiri genman, uso tsuitara hari Senbon nomasu, yubi kitta!" Surprisingly, she looks a bit solemn a moment, later, looking very deeply into Negasonic's eyes. "Now, Eri-chan, have to be okay. If not okay, tell me, Yukio makes okay! Okay?" It's a bit too many okays in quick succession, but for whatever reason, Yukio proceeds to give Negasonic a tight embrace. "We now besto furendo, yes?"

Negasonic has posed:
Negasonic raises her eyebrows, "I might make you say that again loud enough for my Babel app to translate it for me," she says playfully. "But I'll keep you informed. Same goes for you, though. Anybody hurts your pretty little feelings, you tell me so I can blow their god damned heads off. Metaphorically. Probably."

Yukio has posed:
"If you want I can say that for your translata," Yukio offers with a beaming smile, "important thing is we promise not hurting, me and you, ok? I herpu you and you herpu me. Very good!" Now she gives a little bonk to the side of the boat, just so it rocks a little in the water as they lie there, giggling a bit, as she notes, "this is nice. I rike the boat."

Negasonic has posed:
Negasonic smiles and pets the pink hair gently, "I like the boat, too," she says.

"Easy promise to make. You're off limits. Not going to hurt you, just like you're not going to hurt me. Other people, though, can watch their fucking step and not piss me off," she winks.

Yukio has posed:
"Saimu," Yukio notes, turning her head to look at Ellie and smiling at her warmly. "You want jacketto back?" She offers, not too sure if that was a loan, or a full time forever gift. She's very happy and proud to have it, but also feels like she should return it to its rightful owner. "Maybe you want one of my Haori? Next time Harroween, I can be Eri and you can be Yuki, funny, yes?"

She makes a tough face and calls out, "fa! Q! Mada faka!"
