A Match Into Water [Joint Training]

[Sieglinde P. Krantz]

To say that Priscilla enjoyed the mornings was an understatement to say the least. Everything was always so lively! Some people always seemed so excited to begin the day, and she was no exception. Every morning she tried to get in some workouts in order to keep herself in good shape, and ultimately it had certainly been helping! She'd been managing to keep herself rather well-toned for quite some time now, and ever since her and Nhira began to start their little routine together, things have only been going uphill for the girl. She'd been proud of herself as of late, and was glad to keep up the trends! Thankfully today was one of those gym days for her, and she was rather excited to get some fresh air.

During the last few months, Priscilla had been living in an apartment in Kyoto due to "reconnaissance opportunities" she'd spoke about prior to her superiors; in truth, she'd wanted a reason to just get out of the Silbern for a little while, and being one of the more well-trusted Captain Supervisors when it came to the stealth department, it wasn't too hard for her to do. Scrambling around and making herself somewhat presentable for the day ahead, the girl began to collect together anything she might've needed for the little tip per usual; a filled, ice-cold water bottle, a cellphone, as well as a small towel. It wasn't necessary to bring a towel, but she felt better bringing one just in case.

Tying up her hair, Priscilla did one final check to make sure that everything was looking good, and then nodded to herself with a smile. She was rather excited to see Nhira again! Right before leaving, she grabbed her cross - just in case, y'know? - and began to make her way out. Locking up the front door, she threw her the towel over her shoulder, and tucked her cross into her pocket. Taking a quick second to herself before leaving to take a deep breath, she began to jog her way to the gym from there. It didn't hurt to get a bit of a warm-up in before actually getting there, plus aerobics were always a sort of weak point for her, so it didn't hurt to get that little bit of aid in!

After about thirty or so minutes, and eventually making her way to the same gym that she'd been frequenting for quite a bit of time now, Priscilla smiled and checked in at the front counter, showing the small card on her keys. From there, it was just a matter of either waiting around for Nhira to arrive, or taking the time to look around for her! In fact, she'd decided to do the latter for the time being, as if she wasn't already there, it'd certainly give her the time in order to show up, and if she was there, Priscilla could just hop in mid workout! She wasn't fond of the prospect of working out on her own, especially in a public gym, so she decided to take a bit to herself in order to catch her breath from the jog, and wait.

[Nhira Vhener]

Nhira smiled gaily as she made her way through her home and got ready! It was always a pleasure to have her weekly workouts! Of course as of late she had been trying to .... diversify how it was that she went about getting stronger. The noises had begun getting.... louder. And she felt a slow and steady dread in her heart as she looked out her window and saw that body floating hauntingly across the sky. A plus. She had always been able to see them. But as of late.... she'd begun to hear them.

Her grip on her comb slowly tightened and a bit of anxiety smothered the joy she had had for just a moment. BUT NO! She smiled, and promptly went back to combing her hair. She wasn't going to let something like that bother her! It was a friday after all and that meant working out with her friend! Finishing that soft, gentle combing, she finally tied those blonde locks into a ponytail behind her and hummed as she slipped on her jacket and made her way out the door!

It wasn't that long of a walk to the gym itself, but already she had a bounce in her step. It had been .....what... a few months since she'd met the woman? Priscilla was quite the strange and interesting woman! Having met at a coffee shop they hadn't particularly hit off or anything until they realized they were both heading to the same gym. Ever since they had run into eachother when they came to work out and the two had rapidly become friends!

As she made her way up to the counter she paused, eyes perking when she spotted that tue-toned hair! "Ah, Priscilla!" She MUCH taller woman called out and promptly jogged over, swiping her membership card as she promptly scooted past a few people and then threw an arm around the smaller woman's shoulders! "Hey there~ I almost didn't see you! You missed our day last week you know. You didn't get caught up in anything did you?" She asked, smiling with just a hint of smugness in that face of hers. One that no doubt would be familiar.

This was something Nhira did rather often in the last few weeks. Just about any time Priscilla was late or missed one of their workout days Nhira would in some way find a way to insinuate that the woman had been caught up in clandestine affairs, clearly entertained with the idea of Priscilla having some passionate old flame. The woman's reactions were always to die for! Of course, this was all from having spotted a young man's number in Priscillas phone. Some young mane named Lucien~ She had not dropped it since~

[Sieglinde P. Krantz]

"Ah, Priscilla!"

The very moment she heard Nhira's voice, her face immediately perked up as a sweet smile rose to her cheeks. In any other situation she would've quickly made her way over to the taller girl, but seeing as she was already on her way, there wasn't too much of a point to doing so. Either way, she was excited to see her friend once again! As Nhira made her way over and wrapped her arm around Priscilla's shoulders, she couldn't help but lean in and give the girl a hug! Priscilla had certainly gone to break out of her shell a bit when it came to physical contact thanks to Nhira, and she was quickly growing to appreciate it with time. Plus, it was somewhat hard of her not to hug her friend given the current circumstances.

Upon hearing the girl's words, and noticing the expression on her face, Priscilla turned away, her face quickly heating up and going red as a tomato. She'd said it a thousand times that all of her contacts were just "coworkers", but Nhira seemed to think otherwise. That said, even the implication of something more began to quickly fluster the girl without change. "C'mon, Nhira," she said, "I've told you that he's just a friend!" In truth Priscilla wasn't upset by the playful banter from her friend, in fact she rather enjoyed it. Taking a few seconds to more or less calm herself down a bit, Priscilla turned back to the girl, a smile still on her face as she looked up to her.

"I know I ended up missing our meetup last week, and for that I do sincerely apologize; work ended up needing me longer than I had anticipated, you know how it is sometimes." She'd been needed much more as of late to report back on any findings she might've had, but thankfully it wasn't anything serious; just routine check-ins every now and then, plus the occasional message from one of her superiors directing her in terms of where to lead her search and/or investigations. Ultimately though, she was still absolutely in charge of all of the proceedings she'd been focused on, save for his Holiness himself telling her otherwise.

"So!" she exclaimed, softly clapping her hands together, "It has been a week since we last had the opportunity to really speak, what have you been up to? Hopefully everything's still going relatively smoothly?" She genuinely cared for the girl more than she could say she had cared for even most of her subordinates. Most the people she had gotten herself involved with within the Vandenreich were just like she'd thought earlier; coworkers, and nothing really more. Those she could ally with due to a shared end goal. Nhira however? She was different! Priscilla was glad to finally be able to have another friend again, someone she could talk to about things other than the same five topics regarding the Quincy. It was liberating, in a sense.

[Nhira Vhener]

Nhira chuckled softly as she saw that visceral reaction, and even as Pris began her little explanation she still smiled knowingly at the other woman, clearly thinking that the woman was protesting a bit too much. All the while as they headed for the equipment, Nhira listened as her friend spoke, even taking the time to start setting up some of the smaller weights for their practice.

Of course she herself did struggle just a bit, even despite her size and physique, she did have a bit of trouble when it came to training, wearing out rather quickly, stamina had always been a large weakness of hers and truth be told she envied the other woman who honestly seemed VERY athletic compared to the average person! Well, perhaps not too impressive, but it was still better than Nhira herself could manage.

"Oh you know how it's been. Things have been a little quiet at the range." She sighed. Nhira of course worked at a shooting range. Bows, slings, axes, and of course traditional firearms. "Ever since march, things have been getting a little worse around here. We've had to start closing earlier because of how scared people are of going out at night." She murmured wearily. Of course the ....issue was hollows. Nhira had ALWAYS been able to sense those. But well, in her current state she was never in much of a position to do much about them.

She frowned just a little and looked around. "Even the gym has started closing earlier, admittedly I'm not too worried myself. But I do admit I do worry about you a little." She pointed out and folded her arms, momentarily forgetting the weights she had been preparing to start curling with. She herself of course being so big presented a hard target. Strangely enough even some hollows seemed to avoid her. Was it because of her heritage? She honestly wished she knew more about this quincy stuff. But the idea of Priscilla going out at night? IT worried her a lot.

"You really should look into getting some protection. I actually know someone who works with selling those kinds of things, I could introduce you! Even if it was just a tazer or something I'd feel a bit better you know." She fussed, only now starting to get a few reps in. Ugh... why was this so hard?! She didn't used to struggle this much when she worked out and it only made her all the more annoyed that it was getting worse seemingly.

[Sieglinde P. Krantz]

Priscilla nodded listening to her friend speak. Had things really been getting that bad to force them to close early? She'd absolutely have to take the time to investigate that later on for Nhira, she hated the idea of sitting by and letting the girl suffer through those conditions if she could help it, the thought of doing nothing to help out a friend just didn't sit well with her. Making a mental note to check that out later on that night, Priscilla decided to speak. "Lord, I'm so sorry to hear that. If ever need a place to stay if things get a little bit worrisome where you are, please don't hesitate to let me know! My door is always open!" While it wasn't much, she'd have been more than willing to offer where she could in order to make things even a bit easier on Nhira's mind.

As Nhira continued to speak, and brought up her worry, Priscilla couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed by the fact, but necessarily in a negative way. It felt almost flattering to have someone looking out for her like that. "Oh, I'll be alright," she said with a tone of amusement in her voice, "I promise! I'm pretty strong I'd like to think!" To emphasize her point, she flexed her arm at the elbow, and gently patted at her bicep. Of course she meant it in jest, and was looking to hopefully lighten the mood just enough to make the girl laugh, but she did feel that she could hold her own at least relatively well.

Picking up one of the smaller weights that Nhira had set up, Priscilla also began to follow in suit and start getting some reps in as well. Ultimately, she was just following her friend's lead for the most part; if Nhira changed anything up about the routine, Priscilla was sure to follow in suit! Truth be told, she rather enjoyed following someone else's lead for once, to not have to have everything planned ahead of time. Listening in on what her friend had begun to say as she started, Pris couldn't help but smile once more at her suggestion.

"I'll tell ya what," she said, continuing to lift, and eventually switching arms for the next set of reps, "why don't we set up another date sometime this week? Heck, I'm even available pretty much all day today if you'd by chance like to get that done after we're done here! I'd love to have the option to spend the day with you!" She was growing ever-excited even just at the prospect of being able to spend that much time with who was effectively her best friend at this point. Sure, they might head out for coffee or something every now and then after they were done at the gym, but ultimately Priscilla felt herself having to tend to rather important, "work-related matters" almost every time. Today though? She pretty much had the day to herself! 

[Nhira Vhener]

Nhira paused and tilted her head a bit to the side, a bit surprised that Pris would apologize for something like that. She chuckled, reaching out and gently patting the girl on the cheek, setting the weights down before gently taking her friend's face in her hands, lightly rubbing her cheek with a thumb and smiling warmly down at her. "Listen to you~ Acting like such a big shot, you've nothing to be so sorry for! Honestly I'm a bit surprised, I had figured this sort of thing was just something that happened over in Karakura. But seeing it starting to happen in other places...."

She sighed, worry clear on her face, still holding Pris's face before she remembered and gently let go, picking the weights back up as she .... considered the offer of a date. She didn't even give those assuring flexes the time of day. "But I suppose hanging out could be fun. Now that you mention it I don't think we've ever hung out before outside of our workouts." She murmured, a bit...astonished. They saw eachother so often that it was hardly anything they really went for more of. But...

She thought about that ....well.....sad little flex. It WOULD give her the opportunity to see Pris home. And so a slight smile burned across her lips as she glanced down to her friend. "Ahhhh, you have convinced me! We'll skip the treadmills and we can go to the park! And if you arne't too tired of me by then we can stop by someplace for dinner!" She perked up, already growing excited at the idea of getting to spend the evening with Priscilla as the both of them worked.

It didn't take her long to start breathing a bit more heavily, and she slowed down considerably in the last few reps, before she set the weights down and gently rubbed her arms, a sad, dejected sigh escaping her as she looked ENVIOUSLY at Priscilla. "I really don't know how you manage to keep going like that..." She murmured. Just the smallest hint of a pout in her expression at how fine the other woman was after that many reps. She missed the days when Priscilla was just as out of shape as she was.

[Sieglinde P. Krantz]

The moment her face was resting in her friend's hands, it took every fiber of her being not to go completely red. Naturally stopping this from happening entirely was impossible, so she simply did what she could to avert eye contact, a dumb smile quickly rising to her cheeks as Nhira finished her first sentence. She couldn't help but giggle softly to herself over the matter, though she soon redirected her attention to her friend's words as she spoke about the recent happenings in the area. Well, partially.

Priscilla only fully snapped back to reality once Nhira had actually let go of her, only then beginning to process what had been said at the time. "I-I wholeheartedly agree," she said, fumbling over her words at the start, "it's unfortunate that even anything remotely similar to the happenings in Karakura are happening anywhere, really. I just hope that everyone is staying safe." She truly did care about the general populace. Seeing really anyone hurt wasn't something Priscilla enjoyed, and she truly wished she could help everyone involved. Alas, that was much, much easier said than done unfortunately.

Hearing Nhira mention a comment about possibly enjoying time spent after the gym together sent Priscilla absolutely wild with excitement, she was practically bouncing with excitement as she continued her reps still as energetic as ever, impatiently awaiting a final verdict from the girl. The moment Nhira had said the simple words "you have convinced me," the girl's face lit up like a kid in a candy store! She continued to hear her out before starting to say anything, but truth be told she was really, really excited!

"That sounds great!" She exclaimed rather excitedly, albeit hopefully not too loud due to being in a public area, "and don't you worry your pretty little head, Nhira, I couldn't tire of your company!" Naturally she'd meant that sentiment rather intently; she seriously enjoyed being in Nhira's company. As she continued to finish up her last set, she made not of how Nhira was holding up, and scratched the back of her head upon hearing the girl's mumbling. "Honestly, it's just these routines together! I do workouts on my own every now and then," she said, indirectly referencing the numerous fights that she'd been in for the sake of the Vandenreich up to this point in her life, "but do trust me when I say that these have been a huge leap forward in terms of what I've been able to get done!"

Standing up and starting to wipe off the weights she'd used, she kept her attention on her friend for the most part. "Please don't beat yourself up over it though, I promise you that I'll absolutely do everything I can in order to help make sure we're at the same point~!" She really didn't like feeling "ahead" of her in any way, and wished that she could she could do something in order to help her get to a similar point. While bringing up the Vandenreich was certainly something she could do somewhere down the line, she'd still need to get a bit stronger before that thought even had a chance of becoming reality. Either way, she was excited to spend the rest of the day with her friend.

[Nhira Vhener]

Nhira giggled a bit to herself, amused at the very least. Between Priscilla going that bright pink before and the way she seemed to hop with joy at the notion of them spending time together, it was enjoyable to see her so enthused. All the same, she took a moment to glance out the window as she got up and started to walk over to the resistance machines, a bit of a sigh escaping her as she finally caught her breath and started to set herself up for her pwn reps, keeping an eye on Pris's and making sure to be just a bit below theirs, trying to benchmark herself using her friend.

" Hmmm, well if you say so. Even so, I really wish that I was showing a bit more progress." She murmured with a sigh, rolling her eyes to the side before she rolled her shoulder, starting her stretches. The yoga pants and sports bra she was wearing lightly gripping her form as they stretched and shifted into her motions, showing off that light tone she had. Many assumed, of course, that she was quite strong! But it was honestly not bulk, it was just definition and her diet!

The poor woman had put so much energy into being healthy. Watching what she ate, exercising often, and she had a gorgeous figure because of it! But she still was woefully weak! Ugh.. She frowned, her stomach growling in it's own halfhearted protest. She could vaguely smell a smoothie that someone had walking by the pair. Dammit Nhira be STRONG! "So, what exactly DO you want to do on this little date of ours? I know I mentioned the park but I'm a little curious what you would want to do." She brought up.

Was she changing the subject to distract herself from her hunger? Maybe just a little. Shut up. All the same, she began to put a bit more gusto as her thoughts around food fueled her own frustration-driven motions. That's it Nhira, exercise that hunger away! You think you want food? HA! That's just your glutes hungry for more lunges! Work through the ache! She soldiered on and continued working the resistance bands, her attention affixed to her friend, hoping that her ideas might distract her from her protesting body.

[Sieglinde P. Krantz]

Standing up and quickly trailing behind Nhira, Priscilla followed her over to the machines sticking close by like a puppy trailing behind someone holding some kind of food. Following her over to the resistance machines, Priscilla snuck glances at the girl's face every now and again, just trying to read her mood as much as she could. She was glad to see that at least outwardly, Nhira was still enjoying herself for the most part, even if she was a little stressed out for the time being. If nothing else, that's exactly what Priscilla was here for; to help clear that stress where she could for her!

Priscilla simply nodded at Nhira's words, as her attention was quickly taken off of the girl's words and put toward the girl herself as she stretched. After a few moments of realizing she was doing absolutely nothing, she quickly hopped into matching the girl's stretches, and decided not to speak as to draw as little attention to herself over that situation as she possibly could; to say she was embarrassed by her behavior was an understatement. She wasn't usually the type to just stare dumbfoundedly like that, and she didn't want to start!

"So, what exactly DO you want to do on this little date of ours?" Well, that certainly didn't help her situation in the slightest. Lord, she wished she wasn't so easily messed with. Why was Nhira so damned good at causing those reactions from her? "Um," she stuttered, clearly choked up over the subtle suggestion with a dumb smile on her face. Taking a second to think, she'd realized that she'd heard the girl's stomach not moments ago, and realized that could absolutely be something to capitalize off of! "Well, if you're willing to stop by my place for a few before we head to the Park, I could throw something healthy together for us and we could have a rather simple picnic if you'd like!"

While she had assumed that Nhira was just messing with her for the time being, that didn't mean she was going to just toss aside the idea of having fun with her during the day! Ultimately what the two of them did wasn't of importance to Priscilla, as she was glad to just have the opportunity to spend time with her friend outside of the gym. That said, she'd be damned if she wasn't going to see if she couldn't hit Nhira back with the same flirtatious mannerisms she was using on her! While sure, she was far from any good at it, that didn't mean that she wasn't going to try to see if she could get the girl to react in a similar way.

[Nhira Vhener]

It was by sheer coincidence that she turned around and noticed Priscilla staring at her in the middle of her stretching, her head canting a little to the side for a moment as she seemed confused. Huh, that was a little unexpected. Her brain stuttered a little attempting to parse. She looked down at herself to look around for anything that might have caught her friend's attention before she noticed a slight mark on her body and she preomptly looked off to the side, her browes LOCKED in a furrowed and disgruntled look.

"Ahem, anyway." She shifted her body, blocking the view of the little healed cut with her elbow. A few days ago she HAD gotten into a bit of a scuffle with a hollow. But she hardly wanted Priscilla to know she'd been in any danger. So instead she fixated on the offer! Her smile suddenly bursting forth as she spun, lunged, and pulled Pris into a hug! "Ah of course! Where do you live bye the way? I don't think I've ever noticed how far you live from here. It's not far is it? I'd love to see it!" She insisted, bouncing just a little, before peeling back and looking at the machine.

She hadn't TECHNICALLY finished her reps but she felt it was fine to stop for now right? Right... She hmphed a bit, definitely having not noticed Pris had been keeping up just fine despite being distracted. Her own self esteem a little dinged, she decided it was the perfect time to transition away from the subject of their workout in favor of going to Pris's place. It was a win-win-win for her. She'd get to stop working out, avoid any other subjects, AND get to see where Pris lived!

All the same, she did pause, her mind wandering for a moment. "Are you sure about having me over though. We won't meet anyone you're.....embarassed of will we?" She asked, that sly smile suddenly popping back up. That's right... if she went to PRis's house, she really COULD see if she was living with a boyfriend! The very notion of catching her shy little friend in her lise was enough to have her giggling to herself.

[Sieglinde P. Krantz]

Seeing Nhira shift her body alongside the quick comment cemented the fact that she'd been caught. She sighed to herself, silently cursing herself for her behavior, and tried to change the topic with a quick suggestion. Interestingly enough, Nhira seemed to take that rather well - better than she had anticipated, actually - and brought her into a rather impromptu hug. While she certainly wasn't opposed to it, and in turn hugged her back with a bit of a giggle, she was absolutely taken by surprise.

Hearing Nhira's question, Priscilla answered almost immediately as the girl pulled back from her. "Oh, it's not too far from here thankfully! It's only about a thirty-ish minute walk? I live in the complexes just north of here!" She couldn't help but smile about the situation, though her mind began to race; was her home actually presentable enough to bring her home? Did she leave anything out that might've exposed her of anything for that matter? It was genuinely hard to say, but a risk she was willing to take.

She noticed Nhira seemed to pout, and felt concerned for the girl. It seemed that her own abilities were starting to get to her, as inferenced from her comments before that had seemed to be to her disdain. Perhaps they'd have to rethink meeting up at the gym from here on, and perhaps meet up weekly for another activity together? It'd be a suggestion she'd make at a different time, as she wasn't wanting to ruin the mood between the two of them.

As she was lost in thought, she'd been brought back to reality from Nhira's own comment. "Are you sure about having me over though. We won't meet anyone you're.....embarassed of will we?" She giggled at the comment, and kept up the same smile she'd been holding at the time. "Don't worry," she said, "I live alone! Plus, I don't usually have anyone over, so if anything, I'd be embarrassed to have left my place the way it is at the moment." She giggled to herself, keeping up a positive attitude. "That said though, I'd be pleased to have you over! Provided you're willing to follow me home~?"

[Nhira Vhener]

Nhira chuckled just a little as Pris seemed to take things over failry well. And before she knew it she paused, a little dissappointed that Pris seemed to be unphased by such a possibility. Was the girl really single? That was actually a bit more sad than the girl secretly dating someone! She really needed to help this girl garner a bit more attention.

She let out a soft hmm, glancing the woman up and down a bit before gently reaching down and prodding a bit at her hips. "Hmmm, you really should wear lower sitting pants. You have nice hips you should show them off a bit more!" She pointed out, pausing as she glanced up at Pris's chest. ...... "Definitely accent the hips." She hummed and gave a light nod of her head in response to that. Definitely the best feature present. All the same...

"Well, if that's all settled then lets get going!" She chimed, promptly nodding toward the locker rooms as she peeled her hairtie out. "I'm going to go rinse off, I'll meet you at the door, yes?" She clarified, having admittedly gotten a little sweaty. Unlike a certain somebody of course. But all the same, she would head for the showers after the fact, intent on making sure she at LEAST wouldn't go reeking up Priscilla's home.

[Sieglinde P. Krantz]

Being poked at the hips certainly took her by surprise. So much so that she shifted a bit upon being touched. Though, being poked didn't catch her nearly as off-guard as Nhira's comment did, immediately forcing Priscilla to cover her face. She couldn't quite bring herself to respond to what had just been said to her, as she flushed red all the same. After a few moments she moved her hands down from her face and held them in front of her, grabbing onto her wrist tightly. "Will do," she managed to say, unsure of how to take the compliment.

"I'm going to go rinse off, I'll meet you at the door, yes?" Priscilla nodded in response. "Not a problem! Just be sure not to slip!" Even though it was a public gym, she didn't exactly want to invade upon the girl's privacy and in turn, didn't decide to follow her for a change. As she began to watch Nhira head over to the showers, Priscilla began to collect her things and make sure all of the machinery that they'd used was properly wiped down; no sense in leaving it uncleaned! Taking a few moments to do so, she stood up and took a deep breath. Even though they weren't here for as long as they usually spent, she still felt the time was productive nonetheless.

She began to make her way to the entrance, and sat down at one of the benches by the front doors. She began to think on everything that had happened so far; more specifically, what Nhira had said about everything happening outside of Karakura town. Surely she meant hollow attacks that had been occurring, that would explain why people weren't wanting to head out during the night, but what had actually been causing the attacks? Was Japan itself just becoming more of a spiritual hub as opposed to the singular town?

And then, of course, while thinking about the time spent at the gym, her mind drifted off to Nhira. She couldn't help but smile to herself. Just why was she so good at being able to invoke those reactions out of her, and why couldn't she do the same to Nhira in return? Was she just not good at being able to elicit the same reactions? It was hard to tell, but she wasn't going to let her mind harp on it. She had a day ahead of herself to spend with her friend, and she wasn't going to sacrifice that if she didn't have to! For now though, she'd just decided to check through her messages for the time being while waiting rather patiently for her friend to return.

[Nhira Vhener]

Nhira chuckled lightly as she made note of the woman's reaction to being prodded about, and of course their accepting of her advice to show a bit more hip! She smiled, warm and pleased that her advice was being considered as the two parted ways, already excited About getting to hang out with her friend a bit! All the way into the showers she hummed to herself, waiting until she was able to look over her shoulders, verifying that her friend wasn't following her. Ahhhh.

It didn't take long for her to rinse and wash herself a bit, but what took more was to settle down and just....soak into the water in the shower. Her entire body was sore and she felt like she'd been beaten up with how rough the exercise was. Even under the shower head, she still slumped and winced as she took her moments to let the cold water ease her soreness. But it didn't last forever.

In no time at all she was back out to the entrance, her arm locking around Pris's shoulder, smiling from ear to ear as she immediately began pulling her friend along, holding tghem firmly to her side, even if Pris sortof had to deal with her head being leaned into Nhira's chest a bit from the side. "Ah you're going to love it! It's nothing fancy but I have lots of posters and movies! Have you seen 'The Prestige'? OOH we're going to have lots of fun!" She insisted excitedly, practically dragging Pris along.

Of course when they finally arrived she unlatched from the other woman's shoulders and bent over to open the door, a few clicks and slides as Priscilla would have the chance to check out a little. The house that was. It was a nice small little thing, no doubt not bad and two stories. Normally a bit pricey but costs for property had been going down as of late. As Nhira finally got the door open Priscilla was greeted with the sight of a homey little livingroom right off the bat, a side corridor leading to the diningroom and the kitchen past that. "Welcome!"

[Sieglinde P. Krantz]

Being pulled close to Nhira, Priscilla simply complied and went along with it. She wasn't complaining by any means, and smiled rather intently during the entire way there. Hearing Nhira grow ever excited with each passing moment only continued to bolster her own excitement as well. "I don't doubt it," she said as Nhira finished speaking, "I'm quite excited to see your place! Though I can't say I've seen that one, I don't really have all that much time to watch movies normally. What's it about?" She was genuinely curious, as it'd help her get an insight on Nhira's tastes.

During the walk, Priscilla's attention, while still primarily focused on Nhira, still shifted to the world around her every now and then. She was glad to be in her friend's company, but still couldn't get around the thought of the Hollow attacks that had been occurring outside of Karakura. Sure, they were likely to still happen, but at these increased frequencies? Something just didn't add up on that regard, and she'd still harped on it. Was she within jurisdiction to take care of them?

Either way, she wasn't going to let some mission BS get in the way of her time with her friend. She had a day to herself, and she was going to spend that how she wanted to! Upon arriving at Nhira's place, Priscilla stood eagerly awaiting her friend to open the door so that the two of them could head inside. She was rather excited to see the inside of her place! From the outside it certainly looked bigger than her own home, but that likely wasn't hard to do considering she'd only had a one bedroom apartment.

As Nhira opened the door, and Priscilla stared in awe as she looked around the girl's house. She'd loved the interior design! Everything looked so cozy! It seemed so comfortable! She would've rushed in and just started admiring everything, if that wasn't inherently incredibly rude to do. Instead, she simply followed Nhira inside, that same look of awe still on her face. "I love it, Nhira!" she exclaimed, "Everything looks so nice, I love how you've set up the place!"
