Drilling! (Old. Delete!)

Nanoha Takamachi is sitting on the beach in the slowly cooling weather. It's getting dark, and no one's silly to go to the beach on a cold winter night. She's wearing a big fluffy down jacket and Yuuno is curled up in it.

She is sipping a hot chocolate. There's one of those cardboard cup holders with three more cups. They are steaming. Two are Hot Cider!

There are no snacks, however- but hot chocolate and Cider are enough, right?

She purses her lips. "I hope Yuuki's been starting to drill on her own a little..." she says.

"It's important!" she says with a series of matter of fact nods as she waits for Yuuki to show up.

Yuuki has in fact been training and drilling. She's been doing so most every night since she and Nanoha last talked. The whole thing is still really strange for her but Its really amazing for her. She never thought in a million years she would be doing magic.

School has been going steadily and Yuuki's been very awkward. She usually wears the bracelet holding Shining Star to school as it doesn't really draw too much attention. It was earlier today though that she was given word that Nanoha wanted to do some drills and stuff. So The redheaded girl planned to be there.

She's late. She was expecting to be there a little earlier but homework caught her off guard. Now she is running with a piece of toast in her mouth. Thats right. No dinner yet. Quickly she arrives at the beach and gives a little waves before eating her toast. "Hello Nanoha-chan!" She smiles.

Nanoha Takamachi smiles. "Heya Yuu-chan!" she says. Yuu-chan! /nickname-chan/. Nanoha head tilts some as Yuuno pokes his head out of the fluffy down coat Nanoha is wearing. He gives a little wave. He sort of comes out to sit on Nanoha's shoulder a moment. "So are you ready?" she asks as she stands up.

"You know how a VR sim works?" she asks. "Have you been doing that, or practicing live in barriers? I mean. Both are okay! But if we're gonna beat each other up, a VR Sim is safer of course." she smiles. "And we're not 'really' expending energy that way." she says.

She leans forward and offers the cup. "Cider." she says. She eyes the toast.

"Oh. Um. Did you eat?" she asks meekly. "Sorry. I scheduled late so it'd be after dinner! That isn't a problem... is it?" she asks.

Yuuki Oshiro smiles a little and nods to Yuuno, "Yes I've been practicing as best I can. I've been training up on top of the apartment complex. No one ever comes up there and I can train in peace. It is pretty fun. I can make a little barrier now but its not very strong yet.

She blushes a little, "Umm, not really. I've never done anything like that. I've not fought anything either. I did learn to make balls of magic. Those are fun to throw around." She giggles a little.

"Oh Thank you!" She quickly moves to take some of that Cider. Taking a long sip, she grins, "Thank you so much. This is so yummy!"

She shakes her head, "No. Momma has had to work late this week so I usually eat when she gets home. She wasn't home when I left."
