Characters: Cirno and Anyone!
Format: Any!
This log is: Open
Location: Battle Arena Tower- Backdated to Assembly day, after the assembly or Elsewhere afterwards
Summary: Cirno has something she needs to do
Warnings: None I know of?

After the assembly, Cirno marched her way over to the tower and stood in front of it with a determined look on her face. She pinned the ice sword broach back on her dress and takes a breath, watching the door. She never wanted to deal with the Shadows again but...She had to. It was important.

She's going to stand there a while, just trying to psyche herself up into going in and fighting for what she is after.

Yuka tried to smile reassuringly, but mostly she just looked embarrassed.

She kept telling herself that it just wasn't practical to bring her parasol with her if she was going inside a tower. And the fact that it was true helped a bit. It still wasn't enough to make her feel comfortable standing like this in front of friends, even if she was sure they'd be too polite to say anything.

"..You don't have to go in with me if you don't want to."

Cirno looked concerned. She didn't want to go in alone but at the same time...If it wasn't needed she didn't want anyone else to get hurt. Last time she barely won that fight, for the shadow nearly got her in the back.

"It's fine, I want to," Yuka said, but she was still noticeably red-faced and fidgety.

Then she realized that she had an option that wasn't available on her previous visits. She was a little hesitant to bring it up directly, but maybe it would be better... In a very quiet voice she asked, "Would you... draw my weapon and give it to me?"

[frozenmemories]

"Sure Yuka...I can do that."

The fairy was still confused and concerned but nodded. She floated up and drew the out the parasol and offered it to Yuka. She was looking a bit more confidant but still looked at the tower with worry.

Yuka sighed deeply as she took her parasol from Cirno and set it over her shoulder. She was still blushing a little bit, but had otherwise calmed down. In the same quiet voice (since she still didn't really want to draw attention to herself) she said, "Thank you."

[frozenmemories]

There is a pause and a strange look as the fairy was trying to figure things out. And then, a question that would probably rather not be explained-

"Yuka...Why did you want your weapon anyways?"

[justaflowergirl]

Yuka looked away for a moment. "It's not safe to bring my parasol with me to the tower, since if I lose it could get lost. But without it, everyone can see my..."

There were two reasons why Yuka trailed off. One was that it wasn't really something she wanted to talk about that much.

But more importantly, she found she wasn't actually sure what it was that everyone could see. Just that she had it, and she didn't want to give just anyone a look at it.

"Uh...Okay Yuka...If you say so..."

Cirno didn't sound convinced but at the same time, felt glad that she could at least give Yuka some comfort. She really did not expect her fight in the tower to go well at all. She starts towards the tower slowly, slowing even more as she got closer.
