( Ballet huh? That makes sense too. They have similarities, don't they? )
Aye?
( She... chooses not to ask about quitting. Chooses to avoid that whole conversation because it's all too easy for it to be turned back on her, if Haru wanted to.
Instead, Kate shakes out her body one last time and asks; )
[ Haru straightens from her lean and gathers her legs up from under her, climbing to her feet. Kate doesn't inquire further about the ballet-- and so Haru doesn't offer more detail. It just... happens, sometimes, though she does miss it. ]
Thank you again for teaching me, Kate-san. I promise to take this incredibly seriously.
( Maybe another time, but she's already spilled a small part of her heart to Haru under the stars and she doesn't feel like risking another.
Not when there's fighting to be done. And not when Majima is kind of showing some faith in Kate in thinking she can help Haru with her training. And Haru, much in the same way as she did during Tanabata, has an earnestness about her that makes it impossible to doubt that promise.
Hard not to after watching her run in her yukata. )
Alright. ( She slides smoothly into position after taking a few steps closer to the centre of the room, focused and serious. ) Come at me.
