( reunion )

[mayuzumi]

It's a beautiful summer day for a reunion of sorts. True, the reason the reunion is taking place at all is a bit, well — there were good times and there were bad times, but it must be said that if it weren't for that stupidly dangerous mansion, there were a lot of things that would never have come to pass — experiences that would've remained mere possibilities — people who would have remained strangers. The reunion itself is, uh, a picnic or a party or something. Or whatever. It's whatever you want it to be. In true NSS fashion.

G-Got it.

[[ right he is on that. she spends most of her time by the bathroom mulling about what a jerk she'd feel like if the shirt came out stained. but when elliot comes out looking (mostly) alright with the situation, she feels her shoulders get a little lighter. ]]

A-At least it wasn't tomato juice. Lucky for you, I don't really like bloody marys, hehe. [[ check out that WICKED sense of humor. all in all, she looks pretty sheepish, despite her attempts at cracking wise. ]]

[ It's more seeing Aly looking less down than her joke that has him smiling, but hey! He's smiling. ]

Right? It could always have been worse. I even knew what was spilled on me, sometimes it's just... mystery liquid.

[ Ah the beauty of mysterious alcoholic concoctions. Jungle juice is terrifying... for many reasons... .... ]

Anyway, do you want to get a replacement drink? [ He gestures to over where they're serving them. He can always just get... juice or water or something. Like a responsible adult who doesn't want to black out. ]

Ah, unless you want something, I'm fine. I'd hate to spill another drink. [[ because lord knows that is totally a possibility. ]] Thank you for asking, though.

[[ that brings up the question of what to do instead... parties are hard. other than drunk and canoodling (which neither of them will be doing in the foreseeable future), the other major options are small talk and... ]] Do you want to take a picture?

[[ bam! smartphone! even though she rarely uses it to actually keep in touch with people, she picked up a small hobby for using the camera feature. ask to see her extensive collection of landscape photos! ]]

[placidity]

Oh, a picture? Sure, I'd love to... should I take it for us?

[ He figures, his arms are longer, so it makes for a better selfie angle... well, okay, he doesn't really know that much about how selfies work, he's taken like maybe three. Except that once, he was told that they're more flattering when taken from a high angle. ]

Now that I think about it, we don't really have a lot of photos together... I guess we're both kind of camera shy.

[[ she grins, offering the phone to him. it's an iphone in one of those cute clunky dog character cases, who woulda thunk? ]]

I guess not... We don't see each other that often anymore... Oh! I do have that scrapbook you gave me for Christmas, though. [[ she looks thoughtful for a moment. ]] I didn't think things from HQ would come home with us, but... it did. I'm glad for it!

[ Cute... it definitely fits her, he thinks. He leans in, slinging an arm around her shoulder as he attempts to find a good selfie angle. It might... take a while... ]

Well, I'm glad for that much. There are a lot of memories in it, huh...?

[ And he did work pretty hard on it! ]

Okay, from three, then. Three, two, one...

[ He presses the shutter button a few times, just in case. At least one of these must be a winner!! And then he passes it back for Aly to inspect the pictures. ]
