Jello:
He sort of forgot to respond to the text. No he definitely forgot to respond to the text. He just darted out of the coffee shop and started checking stores for anything nice he could get Yukino. Haruka spent a solid ten minutes in a jewelry store before realizing that Yukino doesn't really wear a ton of jewelry as of recently. What would she even like anymore? No jewelry, she had all the clothing she could ever ask for, a ring might be a bit too soon...

Hmm.

His decision was made on a rather small trinket, it was cute and would do the trick. Haruka mad-dashed it over to the Espoir Estate. His stamina must be improving because after a nearly full mile and then some jog, he made it without breaking a sweat. Definitely healthier than he had been last time he stayed in this house. In fact the last time he remembered staying in this house was the night he spent in Yukino's room, and that's when Sera had just started arriving... Weird to think they were all close now, and even casually talked from time to time.

Heading in, like Yukino said, was a breeze. He fixed his tie, ruffled up his hair, and opened the front door. Nostalgia hit him in small waves. He sent another text, not to be rude by yelling in the house.

"im here! gonna say hi to butler-san. err, can you come down and get me? its been awhile since ive been around and dont remember the place too well. -haru"

Haruka only remembered how to get to the kitchen effectively, which is exactly where he went.

Made coffee. Chatted with Butler-san after over a year. Apparently he plays Nova Grapplers now! Haruka was surprised he even knew how to play Vanguard, but now that he had knowledge of his, he was excited for a debut battle with him one day. Until then, he sipped his favorite coffee, awaiting on his Queen to collect him.

Cherry:
Yugure traversed about the manor without her jacket, dealing with several duties instead of relaxing. Home doubled as a base of operations, mostly getting through paperwork with father required to get special permissions. The girl and lion man had a heart-to-heart: "Paperwork sucks". Being an adult was hard when most of the effort came through repeated signatures, trying to avoid some asinine scam. Told that preparations were proceeding smoothly beyond this, the queen was allowed a break. A text had been sent to her boyfriend, and some time later, they were informed Haruka had arrived. Her phone buzzed with his new text to confirm.

Coming downstairs, the woman tried to get feeling back in her arms. It took a bit with stretching and rhythmic finger bending, but they ceased being numb when seeing Haruka and the butler.

"Hey..." A greeting with a soft smile was given.

Jello:
Haruka raised a mischievous eyebrow.

"Hey...? Just, hey? Hmm, I expected more out of you, darling." Haruka sets his cup down, hopping out of his seat and over to Yukino with a few elongated steps. He took his sweet time making his way even within arms reach to her. She seemed a bit tired though and that already made Haruka start to worry a bit. There was probably no way Yukino was going to enjoy herself if she was dozing off while he was here.

"You alright there, Yukino? Seem really... out of it." Haruka waved a hand in front of her for emphasis. He was tired too, for sure. After a long day of work and a couple Cardfights, he wasn't in tip top condition either. Time to break out the gifts.

"Well, maybe this will help....?" Haruka reaches into his back pocket, holding something tightly in his hand. It was a really cute little set of charms, actually sort of nostalgic.

It was two good-luck charms. Two pairs of swords. Overlord's and Ahmes'. One each. Haruka had forgot for a long time that Overlord even had a sword, considering all he ever saw when he envisioned Overlord was a lot of fire. It's also kind of weird that a little trinket shop actually had these. But he found them after a bit of searching. They were more expensive than he thought though....

"Like 'em?" Haruka asked.

Cherry:
"Be lucky I didn't just attack you instead", the love crazed animal retorted, recalling how she almost did last night. Being deprived of affection only helped the build up, making the burst stronger when it would happen. He seemed concerned for her health as he approached, while she could ask the same of what he asked. The warrior's ungloved hand lightly grabbed at his, bringing it down and rubbing a thumb on the palm. A silent nod was the response. No time to be exhausted with war plans on top of spending time with her beloved.

Haruka mentioned something that could help, reaching into his pocket. The queen's attention focused on that hand to see what was coming. A pleasant surprise: matching charms of two of Cray's most prominent figures' weapons. Blaster Blade and the Winds of the Apocalypse's personal sword. Yugure's eyes lit up, a happy gasp of awe being released upon seeing them.

"I-I love them... where did you even..." Despite asking, she didn't really care where he got them. Just ecstatic over him getting them for the couple. One was gently clutched in hand, treasuring the gift as if it were a child.

"I got you something too, but..." It wasn't nearly as good as this. The soldier actually wanted to refrain from giving it to him, thinking she could do leagues better if he could conjure up this. The little craftsman in her was still high on joy from the beauty of the present.

Jello:
Haruka was already smiling at her reaction. She seemed girlier than ever the way she responded to his gifts. Haruka was actually already moving in for a kiss to help seal up a little bit of the emotion but she mentioned getting something too?

He tilted his head, with a small grin forming.

"What did you get me babe? I promise I'll love it. Hell, you could have bought me a giant grey rock, and I'd love that. Seriously. I'm sure whatever you got me will be a million times more special because it's from you." He used the free hand he had to pet her like usual. She seemed to respond well to it, but he didn't want to take advantage of it too often to calm her down. Like anything else, only in moderation.

"But I am so so so glad you like what I got. It was sort of last minute and I honestly didn't expect them to be in the same box. But then they were and I uh, dropped a few thousand yen on them."

About $25.00 for each trinket. Not a horrendous price, but for the size of the tiny things, people might have called him outrageous. He didn't care. All he wanted was to make Yukino happy right now. Making everything perfect before he left for his trip to wherever he and the Cardfight Club were going was crucial. But he felt sick to his stomach knowing he had to leave her presence again.

He shook his head a little, then nodded to her.

"So, whatcha' get me then?" His eyes lit up like Christmas lights. Or forest fires. Green and red all the same, right?
