( Picnic basket: packed.
Flowers: prepared.
Hair: ... currently being an absolute pain.

Izumi groans as she fiddles with her hair again, trying to smooth down the cowlick which keeps popping up at the back before giving up and throwing her hair into a ponytail and glowering at her reflection. How typical.

But, as long as that's the only thing that goes wrong today, it's fine. Maybe it's even better that she keeps her hair out of the way, really. After all, the trip to Fleur is by their gryphon pair, and that means wind in her hair. And also means that flats are probably a better choice than heels.

Right. Everything's ready. Time to meet Elsa. Izumi flags down a carriage as she steps out of her cottage, basket carefully balanced in the crook of her elbow, and the driver is kind enough to help her in with a smile and a tip of his hat.

Soon enough, she's there, tipping the driver generously and the disaster of her hair forgotten under butterflies and excitement. Her steps infused with a spring when she spots Elsa, waving as she approaches. )

Elsa!

[Elsa has her hair on a very simple ponytail. She has a plan of letting her hair down once they reach their travel destination and hopefully with the help of some elemental magic she'd be able to make it look good enough.

The fact that this is an actual date somehow makes Elsa's stomach butterflies fly even faster. She's never been on a date date before and she really, really likes Izumi, so she wants this to go well. Which is why she's way too early at their meeting place once again, sorting out her hair a little bit.

And immediately dropping what she's doing when she notices Izumi get off the carriage, waving at her with an excited smile.]

Izumi! Good to see you.

( Kate's new apartment is larger, at the very top floor of a much taller building, and still in that half-sterile phase of moving in where boxes still litter the living area and personal touches haven't been spread out over the furniture she dragged over the city from her old place and those pieces don't quite fit the new expanse of space she now rents.

Kate herself, is dressed in an oversized t-shirt and nothing else, her hair loose and mussed, and she carries two wine glasses and a bottle of white back to the bedroom, and to Caster. )

Here.

( She settles the bottle and her own glass on the bedside table before sliding back under the covers, reclining back against the headboard. One leg crosses over the other as she reaches for her glass and tilts it towards Medea. )

Cheers.

[Whilst Medea had taken the time to slip her lacy underwear back on, she'd not bothered with the rest- what would be the point- she hadn't even taken the time to re-tie the little braid in her hair that had since come loose.

There was always a little anxiousness, even now, when whoever she'd been intimate with had wandered off. A ridiculous concern, she told herself, when she was in Kate's house- and when Medea knew she was someone she could trust- but she couldn't help her ears pricking up with relief when she came back, all the same.

...She knew Kate would never abandon her. It just took a few moments for her mind to catch up.]

Ah, this looks wonderful, thank you~

[She took her own glass, lightly touching it to Kate's, before ever so carefully cuddling up to her arm. She didn't want to spill either of their glasses after all.]

Should. It's yours.

( Kate points that out with a half-smile, taking a sip before she shifts against Medea's movement. Not pushing her away — she's long since accepted that this shit happens with Medea — but simply getting more comfortable and looping her arm around pale shoulders. )

Been waiting to open it.

( But new flat and good company feels like the right reason to do so. )

[A small, contented sigh escaped her as Kate's arm moved around her, and she settled at her side. It wasn't often that she felt a calmness of sorts...but little, quiet moments like this, those were the ones where she truly felt her turbulent soul at rest.]

You've been saving it? Hmhm, I'm glad you enjoy it so much.

Maybe I forgot about it.

( The words come out flat, as so many of Kate's do, but she takes a sip, her free hand reaching upwards idly to tweak the tip of Caster's ear, and flashes a lazy half-grin. )

...Kidding.

( She's more relaxed, free in a way which only comes with being sure of a decision. Comfortable in her place here in Avalon.

And comfortable with Medea. )
