Jello:
A long rush of relief went over Haruka in a fraction of a second.

I'm not dead? WE aren't dead? How in the hell-

Haruka just let it be. He wasn't prepared to face another one of these incidents for a long time. The fire in his chest was sated for the evening. Haruka sat down next to Satoshi on the floor, not deserving of the seat that the legend currently occupied. Haruka wanted to pat his back and compliment him, but in the current, somewhat tense state of things, he wanted to just shut up and let things sort of take their course. He used his button-up as a sort of fan and used it to cool himself off, flapping it to create wind between himself and his chest. Suddenly noticing his exposed scars and burns, Haruka felt somewhat insecure. He buttoned the top button back up, despite how much he was sweating from anxiety, and other prior events.

He looked up at Mr. Espoir. This man was quite a walking, breathing apocalypse. Haruka found himself in awe of such encumbering power. Nothing Haruka necessarily wanted, but it was still amazing to see a human amass such strength.

Haruka breathed out, and turned his glance to Satoshi. He placed a hand on his knee, to try and comfort the suddenly upset Satoshi. "Thanks... I appreciate you standing up for me. Really." Haruka would've said so much more, if the situation in the house wasn't just simmering down. He still wasn't able to speak much else, so instead he simply nodded and smiled. A sort of thank you, for trying to help the situation he accidentally started.

Then his attention moved towards Yukino and Hana. First, Hana. He looke at her, and nodded as well. He wasn't sure how to address the person who Hana was calling, so he just kind of wanted her to put the phone down. Hana could have easily carried almost half the terror her father instilled if she was put in such a state.

Finally, Yukino. The final person to confront before putting his thoughts to rest. What was he supposed to say? What happened just 10 or so minutes ago could easily be described as Haruka's worst mistake.

But he didn't hate the event.

It was only to see how she was feeling. Haruka didn't want to make anything awkward for anybody. He originally had the intention of seeing if she was okay. That turned into something entirely different by the end of it. He wasn't sure how to progress with her. His eyes might be lingering on her a bit too long, so he simply moves his head back in Satoshi's direction, escaping the guilt he feels at the moment.

Satoshi likes her. It's obvious now that he admits to it. Haruka sighs and smile a bit. "What a person I am..." Haruka whispers that to himself before taking one last glance at Yukino, then Satoshi, then facing forward to Mr. Espoir.

Lesson learned: Not in the girl's house.

Cherry:
Raising his brow, he let the children be... for now. "I assume you called the ambulance. No need for them anymore", he addressed Yukino about Satoshi's injury, several maids wandering over to the farm boy. Explaining that they had nursing degrees, and a couple of them were fully licensed doctors, they got to work on mending him. A few more glances as a waning warning, Mister Espoir left them to their devices.

With the situation settling down, Yukino's mind began retracting back to how close she was to Haruka... Far too close for comfort, but not far enough for discomfort. That... made no sense, but that's how she could describe it. The queen was just so unfamiliar with how her heart ached, placing a hand onto chest. Taking a number of deep breaths, her pulse finally slowed from sheer terror and whatever feelings that went on before.

These two were something else.

Hikari, first, approached her sister with a long, squeezing hug. "Congratulations", the Chosen Sword gave words of celebration. There was a subtle hint of disdain, a yearning to be in Hana's shoes right now. Though, it was the princess' time, and she wasn't going to take that from her. "I'm so proud of you", she said. Dad was probably thinking the same, but was too busy warding off thirsty teenagers to get the chance to. He likely made a mental note to do so later tonight or in the morning.

Returning to the two boys, Yukino blushed a little when her eyes met theirs, but it quickly went away when she shook her head.

"Do you guys want to stay the night?" she offered.

Haruka +3 Affinity (dokis)
Hana +1 Affinity

Beryl:
Stay the night and not be out on the streets again?

"I'd greatly appreciate it. Otherwise I'd be on a bench, you know that." Satoshi noticed Yukino blush a bit. He blushed as well, looking to the balcony. He might walk out there for some air tonight. He was going to need it.

"I don't really have spare clothes for sleeping attire, though, so I may have to make do with some sheets or something as cover, it's rather warm in here..."

Jello:
Haruka noticed the two's embarrassment. At first he felt a little bit the same, but was beginning to find himself in daze. "Ahh... Right." Haruka cracks his neck, and stands up, dusting off his pants. "Yeah, staying the night would be nice. The house I stay in isn't exactly the coziest. Do you have a coffee maker, by chance?"

Haruka absolutely loves coffee. Even at night, he loves a nice sugared-up cup of coffee. He glances around, looking for a kitchen area. He almost instinctively reaches up to his shirt to undress, since he normally sleeps in just his boxers. Then he looked back to Yukino, realizing why that was not a good idea. To stop another incident from occuring, he smoothly slips his hands into his pockets and smiles. He can't exactly put on his natural goofy grin as normal, but he manages to break into a wry grin. Left to be interpreted by the two onlookers.

"Get on top of her, now stay at her house? Do you have manners? Do you know how much stress Cray was just under? I should disown you."

Haruka simply keeps his composure, and stares back at his two friends. How to progress in a casual conversation however, he is unsure. Things aren't exactly the same as before. Satoshi is a pure, noble human. But what would he think of Haruka after that event? Does he even believe Haruka? That it was all an accident? And what about Yukino? What if she thinks Haruka is falling in love with her? What if Haruka IS falling in love with her?

Yukino +5 AP

Albeit, Haruka is somewhat entranced at the moment, he would prefer it if that was not the main focus of the current trio. He nods to the group before his mind focuses into dangerous territory. "So yeah. Coffee maker?"

Cherry:
"Yeah, someone go make him some coffee", the queen ordered and one of the maid left to do so. The butler felt a bit dejected over Haruka not being more accepting of tea... nevertheless, he left to his other duties. Yukino was sort of confused by the man sliding a hand in his pocket and giving an odd smile, but she took it as a good note. Satoshi was being cared for well, and one of the servants stated that they were about his size. They should have some spare stuff laying around for him, and they went off to fetch it.

"Father is probably going to kill you guys if you come in my room, so we'll use one of the guest rooms to hang around with. I was hoping to talk with you guys more and get some playing in."

A deck in hand, Yukino wanted to train. Even if there was nothing to really hone her skills for.

"I'll go get changed, go down the hall and go in the second to last door on the left."
