"Sorry for Hotaru, she refused to go to school today for whatever reason."
Haruka sighed, earning a chuckle.
"She can be quite persuasive can't she?"
Michiru retorted before adding "Last time I got sick it was just a cold but she insisted on trying to help me around the house so I wouldn't get weak. Then again, she had lost so much in only a year's time so I assume the poor thing does have a bit of anxiety."
Michiru stated with a sigh, earning a slightly questioning look from Haruka who just leaned back against the wall she was standing against.
"Yeah, she's so young. I couldn't imagine how hard it must have been for her to lose those she cared about at such a young age...It's hard enough when you're in your twenties."
Haruka responded before adding with a chuckle
"Though she has quite the temper at times doesn't she?"
"That she gets from her father, from what I have been told anyway."
Michiru retorted just as a knock came at the door, causing Haruka to groan.
"You stay put, you need rest I'll go see who that is."
She stated, not saying that she could easily smell the person's scent from even this distance.
"Oh so you are staying over here?"
Setsuna stated with a smirk when Haruka opened the door.
"Fuck you."
Haruka muttered in response before adding
"What do you want? It's nine in the morning."
Setsuna just laughed at the blonde's brashness and retorted
"I came to return Michiru's book she let me borrow because I couldn't get a copy anywhere."
"I take it you two know each other?"
Michiru stated, walking up behind Haruka, moving so silently that the blonde jumped slightly at the sudden voice behind her.
"Yeah, I actually watched this goof grow up." Setsuna answered, earning a glare from Haruka.
"And you wondered why I left the dead rat tied above your door."
Haruka retorted.
"And that is also why I threw cold water on you that afternoon."
Setsuna retorted, smirking slightly.
