Mori and Hani
Mori now showed a bigger smile, as he saw his puppies there. He chuckled softly a little as he heard their excited sounds.

Haruhi
Haruhi smiled softly as she watched him, watching him carry the plates away to the sink. She chuckled softly as she continued to watch him.

Katie and Digger
The brown haired groomer smiled as she heard his voice. She nodded at the speaker, then spoke up. "You could come get them now, if you'd like."

Jessica Robins (Hoax, friends with the puppy Mana.)

Ageha hummed quietly as she shrugged, saying "I...don't think so, but he's a boy so blue." She then watched her brothers, head tilted. She shrugged again, wondering if they were talking about the collar (?) or Jessica. She smiled as Kaoru spoke, nodding then looking at Hikaru. She noticed how Hikaru's voice shook slightly, and said "Hikaru?"

Jessica smiled as she nodded at the two, wondering if they were a couple...Shaking her head, she said "Here are some leashes for them."


Jessabella and Bjorn
The redhead Snow hummed quietly, then moved just as quickly to get to his side. She looked back at Neko a moment, then back to her brother.
Bjorn whimpered softly a bit, and his lids fluttered a bit. After a while, his fingers flexed a bit. He then finally began to open his eyes.

(Yeah...it's apparently too s*x*a* a sound...)

[justlooking4awesome]

Akiko
Aki let out a small "Aww!" when she heard the happy little barks the puppies made. She knelt down to their level, extending a hand toward them for them to sniff. She looked up at Mori and Jessica as the latter offered leashes to the former.

Tamaki
Once he had finished cleaning everything up, Tamaki washed his hands and then came back to the table, smiling at his fiance. "What do you want to do now?" he asked her.

Kyoya
"Alright," Kyoya replied, "I'll be there in about ten minutes."

Hikaru and Kaoru
Hikaru looked over at his brother for assistance, but Kaoru's little shrug and shake of his head were entirely unhelpful. Looking over at Ageha, Hikaru said, "I'm fine. I think I just had a tickle in my throat or something."

Nekozawa and Kirimi
Kirimi peered into Bjorn's eyes the moment they opened, looking down at him with concern.
Neko continued to give the others some space.

[justlooking4awesome]

(Bump!)

[Spiritstar3]

Skip! XD

Mori and Hani
Mori wondered if Aki would be by today. She still came to do workouts and a little training, of course, however...Now they had started dating, she mostly was over to see him.
Hani smiled as he leaped at Takashi, then gasped as he was flipped over. He chuckled as he picked himself up, and held out his arms to Reiko.

Haruhi
Haruhi tilted her head as she wondered when Tamaki would be here...(Sorry, I have legit wb for this one)

Katie and Digger
The brown haired groomer smiled as she finished drying Digger down, as he had been in the dirt just as his name implied he might. She now brushed him with one hand, the other holding her phone to her ear. "Hey Kyoya." she said, smiling as she spoke into the phone. They'd only been dating a short while, but she was happy.

Jessica Robins (Hoax, friends with the puppy Mana.)

Ageha sighed softly and shook her head as she stretched out on one of the couches, bored as she was alone, the twins off with the Jessica girl...She called out to the cat. (Kuro-something...I know it, it just isn't coming to me)

Jessica hummed as she looked at the twins, and she wondered why they had called her to come meet them at the little cafe. She looked about the cafe, then back to them. "So...what are we doing here?" she asked, softly.


Jessabella and Bjorn
The redhead Snow sighed and hesitated, from foot to foot, as she watched her brother. She noticed he saw Kirimi, and she stuck around to watch him run off to her.
Bjorn grinned as he saw Kirimi, and waved to her. "Kirimi!" he called, as he ran over to where she was.

[justlooking4awesome]

Akiko
Sighing, Aki checked the time on her watch. She was a bit later than she intended to be, but traffic was a menace. She was sure her boyfriend would understand. Her boyfriend... she still couldn't believe it. The idea hadn't quite sunken in yet. She wasn't even entirely sure what had happened--one day they were just friends, then suddenly she started to feel something more for him out of the blue, and then he asked her out, and... Well, she was happy with it, to say the least.
With a large but somewhat apologetic smile, Akiko pushed open the door and walked in, immediately looking over toward Mori. "Hey! I finally made it," she called to him.

Tamaki
Tie? Check. It was straight and perfect. Hair? Check. It was combed and styled in a way that looked neat but natural, just the way Haruhi liked it best. Suit? Check. He was wearing his best tux. Watch? Check. A shiny, elegant gold watch that Haruhi had helped him pick out years ago rested on his wrist. He hadn't worn it in a long time, so he was sure that it would bring back memories for her. Shoes? Check. They were polished to a shine. Pocket handkerchief? Check. Haruhi wasn't the particularly emotional type, but he was prepared anyway, and, besides, it looked formal.
...Ring? Check... but he checked again just to be sure, sighing in relief when he opened the ringbox and laid eyes on the beauty he had picked out a few months ago. He closed the box again carefully and tucked it into his breast pocket, where the presence of the handkerchief helped to conceal the bulge.
He gave the mirror in his car a wide grin to psyche himself up before taking a deep breath and stepping out, striding up to the fancy restaurant with a confidence he did not currently feel. Of course she would say yes... probably... hopefully... likely--after all, they had all but started planning the wedding already--but he still wanted everything to go perfectly.
The hostess led him to the reserved table: a small two-seat table next to the window with the best view, and he noticed that, as requested, all other tables had been slightly moved away from it, giving he and Haruhi a little more privacy. As he approached, he looked over Haruhi and smiled. She looked absolutely lovely, dressed up better than he had seen her in a long time. He was sure she was wondering what the occasion was (if she didn't suspect already), but he waited for her to ask, instead simply smiling at her brightly as he took his seat and nodded in thanks to the hostess.

Kyoya
"Hello Katie," Kyoya said with a smile. 'Multitasking,' he also stroked his cat Noel as she sought some attention from him, but Kyoya focused most of his attention on Katie as he asked, "How are you doing today? And how is Digger?"

Hikaru and Kaoru
Kuroi perked up at the sound of his name, which he had learned pretty early on, and looked around attentively, almost tensely, as he sniffed the air. After a brief moment of glancing, his eyes locked with Ageha's, and he gave a small meow that was almost a chirp, looking at her curiously.

"Why?" Kaoru asked.
"Can't we..." Hikaru began.
The two finished in unison, "...treat a friend to lunch?" Both looked at her with mock innocence and curiosity, but their eyes glittered with mischief, and they were obviously planning something.
Of course, their confidence was a bit of facade at the moment. They were about to ask Jessica something that she, more than likely, would find very odd and possibly even unsettling.

Nekozawa and Kirimi
Kirimi looked over toward Bjorn when he called her name, and a smile came to her face as she saw him. "Hi!" she said cheerily, stepping up with arms open for a hug to meet him as he ran at her.
Neko smiled in amusement at this. He fidgeted with the hem of the new jacket he had bought, still feeling a little uncomfortable with it. He had, over the years, adjusted his wardrobe to be more "normal," at least for when he left the house, but he was always in black and gray. At Kiri's encouragement when they went clothes-shopping yesterday, though, he had bought a muted blue lightweight jacket, and he wore the lightest gray shirt he owned underneath. He pushed his sunglasses up a little higher on his nose (after all, photophobia was still a real eye condition, even if he was getting over his mental heliophobia) and tugged the sleeves down on his jacket (as protection for his photosensitivity) before stepping out of the car. He was still wearing black pants, though he was wearing jeans, which were ever-so-slowly becoming his new normal instead of the slacks he used to wear anytime he had to look presentable, and he wore black tennis shoes.
"Jessica," Neko called softly to get her attention, and he watched carefully to see her reaction to the newfound color in his outfit, even if it was only a little bit of muted blue.

(So, as I was writing Neko, I realized that even though I'd made mental pictures for how each of the other canon characters had progressed after the end of the series I just... hadn't really developed one for him? I didn't put very much thought at all into him, really. So, I've decided that, though the show sort of made it sound like Neko only had photophobia (abnormally high visual sensitivity to light), it makes more sense considering the actions he took that he also had photosensitivity (this comes in many forms, but I can't find a more specific one for when someone gets sunburns so easily that they can burn any exposed skin even on a cloudy day) and, of course, heliophobia (the actual fear of light). He's getting more used to dealing with light instead of hiding from it, conquering his fear of it, but the other aspects are medical conditions, so he'll always have to wear sunglasses even on a cloudy day and will have to wear long sleeves or a ton of sunscreen on any given day, sunny or not. I've decided that he already wears sunscreen on his face so that he doesn't have to constantly have a hat or hood, but he prefers to wear long sleeves rather than applying a bunch of sunscreen to his arms, too.)

Mori and Hani
Mori chuckled as he looked at his friend, and cousin, and tilted his head as he watched Reiko. The tall, dark and handsome man had always thought of the dark arts girl as odd, but he had warmed up to her little by little. Now, he smiled when she raised a hand to wave at him, for that same hand soon moved to Hani's hair, to pet at it like he was some sort of dog. Shaking his head, he turned as soon as he heard the door, and smiled as he saw his girlfriend there. "Hey, Aki." he said, then continued "Training today, or a date?"
Hani grinned as his wife pet his head, not seeming to mind being treated almost as a dog. He grinned even bigger when he saw Aki, and said "Hey, Aki!" before returning his attention to his Reiko.

Haruhi
Haruhi hummed to herself, sighing softly as she waited, and waited, for her it seemed to take him two hours to finally show up. She had some inkling of what he might be thinking of doing here, as they tended to order in, or he would ask her to cook for him, when she was not offering to do so herself, but kept her mouth shut and her words to herself. She smiled softly when she saw him, and wondered what he thought of her. She was wearing the white pearl bracelet he'd bought her, with a light pink dress that had slight ruffles at the waist, and she had on heels of course. A clip in her hair held her bangs back.

Katie and Digger
The brown haired groomer smiled as she heard his voice across the line. She chuckled a bit as she smiled, and said "Digger is fine, and so am I. By the way, what about you? And how are Noel and Hikari?" she asked, wanting to know about his two cats.

Jessica Robins (Hoax, friends with the puppy Mana.)

Ageha giggled quietly as she watched the cat look around in confusion, not seeming to not at first where the voice was coming from. Shaking her head, she smiled when Kuroi looked and saw her. "Come here, boy." she said softly, holding up the mouse-string-pole toy she knew was one of his favorites.

The redhead had gotten used to the way the twins spoke one at a time, finishing each others sentences, or one saying one sentence then speaking a second sentence in turn with each other. Shaking her head, she huffed as she looked at them, then said "Well, you sure can, but I know that look in your eyes..."


Jessabella and Bjorn
Bjorn grinned as he saw her notice him, and he gave a soft little laugh as he ran towards her. He knew his sister was still back there, but was more focused on his friend. He smiled as he ran into her arms, and hugged her back.
Jessabella, meanwhile, hummed to herself and sighed softly as she watched her brother and his friend, then tipped her head to the side as she turned slightly to look off into the trees nearby, though even she didn't know why. She fidgeted a bit, her feet in the dirt, having taken off the heels. They were low heels, but she wasn't used to them, so she needed to take them off because they'd made her feet sore. Shaking her head, she then looked down at the light colored shirt she'd worn, the mare and foal running across a field on it being a bay and a blood bay color. She smiled fondly at it, the green grass and the blue sky there too, a few clouds, then heard his voice and looked up, turning in the direction of the Nekozawa's voice. She squeaked and opened her mouth as she saw him, shivering a little as she said "Blue..." Blue and gray were her two favorite colors...

[Spiritstar3]

(Dang it, meant to answer your OOC:
Sowwy about that, and

XD Your...nnn, mental picture actually kind of sounds like it could work for him
Heh, porr Jessabella...She's gonn (at some point) want to see his eyes
And their blue, too! XD
Oh! Does he still wear the dark wig, or can people actually see his blonde hair now?)

[justlooking4awesome]

Akiko
Hearing the blend of greetings, Aki grinned. She waved over at Hani before turning her attention to Mori. She paused, lips pressed together slightly as she considered the question. "Hmm... well, I am trying to be more consistent with working out, so how about a short training session followed up by a date as a reward for training hard?"

Tamaki
Though his heart was in his throat, Tamaki kept a suave exterior, putting on charms to hide his nerves. "Princess," he all but purred, taking her hand gently in his and kissing the back of it as he bowed, "you look stunning." He released her hand and sat back, beaming at her as he envisioned how he hoped the night would go.

Kyoya
Noel gave a soft meow, quietly demanding Kyoya's full attention, but Kyoya concentrated on answering his girlfriend as he replied, "That is very good to hear. Both of my cats are doing alright, too. Noel is here with me right now, and I think Hikari is currently occupying herself with staring out a window." He laughed softly. "How is business doing? Has it been busy or calm today?"

Hikaru and Kaoru
Kuroi: The nervous little kitten softly padded over to Ageha, eyes trained on the toy. He watched it closely, ready to play with it.

"Oh dear," Hikaru said in mock concern.
Kaoru nodded with false gravity. "She knows our look."
Hikaru looked 'pleadingly' into his brother's eyes and dramatically asked, "Whatever shall we do?"
"Alas! There is no hope for us!" Kaoru responded, placing the back of his hand against his forehead in a 'swoon'.
Both brothers looked intently at Jessica, gauging her response. They rather failed at holding back their smiles as they did so, smiles tugging fiercely at the corners of their lips.

Nekozawa and Kirimi
Kiri's smile was bright as she squeezed Bjorn before letting him go. She beamed at him before asking, "What do you want to do first? Do you want to play or have the picnic?" She looked at him with honest curiosity, not minding either option.
Neko paused at Jessa's reaction and gave a somewhat embarrassed smile. "Yeah, uh, I mean... Kiri picked it out for me, and uh... I thought it looked alright, I guess." He shrugged, and he knew Jessa wouldn't be able to tell very well behind his sunglasses, but he wasn't meeting her eyes. "Um... your shirt looks good. The design is... pretty." Oh gosh he'd made this awkward, hadn't he? Today was enough of a stretch for him already.

(Well, he can take his glasses off indoors (though he probably prefers to wear them anyways). I'm thinking that, yeah, he probably does still wear the black wig, partly because his natural color is just too bright and partly because black is a more common hair color anyways and he'd rather not attract attention.)
(And now I've somehow planned out an idea for Jessa and Neko to go to dinner at a restaurant with "mood lighting" dark enough that Neko has to take off his sunglasses in order to read the menu, so while he's just casually (and obliviously) reading the menu, Jessa is just staring like "Okay he does have eyes... and they look good..." Maybe during that dinner, too, he admits that his first name is Umehito, but then laughs it off like, "You can see why I prefer to go by my last name, right?")

[Spiritstar3]

Mori and Hani
Mori smiled as he looked at his cousin and the wife, then returned his attention to his girlfriend once more. He nodded as he looked down at her, and he smiled softly as he did. He said "Only if you do good." then chuckled softly as he looked at her. "Which means it's highly likely." he finished. He heard Lan and Hari baking, and said "Oh, I forgot about them on accident."

Haruhi
Haruhi found her cheeks turning a light shade of pink as she watched him, and she tilted her head to the side as she did. She smiled a bit as she nodded at him, then wondered about it again. "Hey, Tamaki?" she finally asked, as she sat in the chair he had offered her, as any gentleman might.

Katie and Digger
The brown haired groomer smiled as she listened to his voice, wishing she could see him but contenting herself with just his voice for now. She nodded to herself, then tilted her head slightly when he asked about business. "That's good. Oh, it's been kind of boring here today. We were going to have dinner at your place today, right?"

Jessica Robins (Hoax, friends with the puppy Mana.)

Ageha smiled and giggled softly as she watched the cat. She wiggled the toy back and forth a little, hoping he'd play with it.

The redhead shook her head as she watched her twins...Her twins? Blushing a moment, she shook her head, then glanced at the twins as she tried to figure out what they were doing. As they got more dramatic, she snorted in trying to hold in a giggle, then started laughing. "You two are such dorks." she said, all in good nature.


Jessabella and Bjorn
Bjorn smiled as he looked at her, then tilted his head as he did so. He was going to say play first, when his belly interrupted by rumbling just then. Blushing in embarrassment, he said "I guess it's picnic first, then."
Jessabella hummed and tilted her head as she glanced at the taller one. She felt a smile twitching below the surface, tugging at her lips, and shook her head to try and stay calm. She shook herself, then glanced at the young man once more, and she nodded. "She's good." she said, then hummed to herself. Shaking her head, she blinked as she glanced down at her shirt, and she blushed faintly as she said "T...Thank you."

(XP Alright
And holy flip, now I actually want to do that
"Oh no, they're so blue...So...blue...")

[justlooking4awesome]

Akiko
A glint entered Aki's eye, and she said, "Alright, you're on." Just then, the barking started. "Aww, I bet they want me to say hi to them," Akiko said, looking in the direction of the barking. "Lan! Hari! Aki's here! Do you two want pets?" she called out to them.

Tamaki
"Hmm?" Tamaki looked over at Haruhi curiously. "What is it, Haruhi?" He picked his menu up off the table, but he did not open it or tilt it up yet, waiting first to see what his girlfriend wanted.

Kyoya
Kyoya nodded out of habit before verbally answering, "Yes, that's right. Am I picking you up from work, or do you want to simply come here?"

Hikaru and Kaoru
Kuroi: The little kitten watched the toy, crouching down before springing up to pounce on it. He missed by a long shot, though, and he gave a small mew in protest and annoyance as he looked to be trying to figure out what went wrong just then.

The boys soaked up the attention. "Oh, Jessica," Hikaru said, 'swooning'.
"You wound us," Kaoru finished, mirroring his brother so that they were leaning back against each other.
They did not, however, maintain straight faces for long. Both began to laugh at the looks they were getting from the other patrons of the cafe. Once their snickers died down, however, they looked over at Jessica in a way that was... serious yet lighthearted. Settling down and sitting down, the brothers both faced Jessica over the table. "We have something we would like to ask of you," Kaoru said, his tone steady and sincere.
"We understand that this may seem... odd..." Hikaru continued, "but we ask that you try not to freak out about this..."
"...or judge us for it."
Both twins took a deep breath, then said in unison, "Jessica Robins, will you be our girlfriend?"

Nekozawa and Kirimi
Kirimi giggled, turning to pull the picnic basket she and her brother had packed up that morning out of the car. She also grabbed a large blanket to put on the ground. "Can you help me set up? Where should we sit?"
Neko felt uncomfortable, but in a good way...? It was sort of nice to have this mutual unsureness with Jessa, something which had been slowly increasing over the past weeks as any remnants of hostility faded away. Neko offered her a small smile before he noticed that the children were setting up the picnic. "Are you hungry?" he asked Jessa.
