I'm a Striker. I use a bow, so--well, I'm a little more of... a ranged Striker, I suppose. I'm still getting all of that figured out.

[She clarifies, because she's seen a fair number of Strikers that get up close. Which is not how Dreamer Sage rolls!]

[ Jeannette's eyes sparkle. It is not just because of the snow in her eyelashes. ]

You - you are artillery??!!

[ Ranged weapons are incredible! They keep their users safe by putting distance between them and the target.....Her dear angel is an expert with a sword, of course, but prefers ranged weapons!! ]

[Junna blinks once. She laughs a little, then shakes her head.]

W-Well... a bow, not a cannon, but... I do fight from afar, yes!

[But she did picture, for a moment, an oversized sandglass bombard and it's a delightful image.]

A bow fired from a true heart can matter as much as any cannon.

[ SHE'S NEVER SEEN YOU IN ACTION BUT C'MON, YOU'RE HELPING HER SHOVEL THE SIDEWALK

OBVIOUSLY THAT TRANSLATES TO BEING A WONDERFUL DREAMER ]

Should you need a Saver, or a commander, please let me repay you by my service!

[ what was that second thing....? dwbi. ]

A-A true heart...? Well... I try to, certainly.

[Take the compliment, Junna!

She brightens up and nods in a serious way. (Theater kids.)]

I will! And the same if you need a Striker.

[Commander, though...?]

Do you often work with other Dreamers?

[ Jeannette continues to shovel, but her interest has been fully piqued by getting to know Junna better. Maybe they have friends in common! She'd like to protect Yumemigaoka with Junna and their friends.... ]

I do. I'm with the Dreamer Union... and I often work with my mentor, Dreamer Hanako. And with several others, too -- Rhodonite, Tycoon, Prisma...

[She smiles a bit, looking sideways at Jeannette. It's true of her, too; she's still at the shoveling, but her attention is on this potential new friend.]

What about you?

It has been so long, I am finding my place. But you - you work with Lisa!

[ Of those names, one had stood out. ]

Ah--ah, yes, I do! [She smiles a bit more at the mention of Lisa.]

Are you friends?

Oui!

[ DRAT. ]

Ah - um....

[ everybody knows "oui", at least, right....? she hasn't just left the person she's talking with out of the loop by suddenly speaking french....? ]

That's... [She kind of knows.

It takes a second to remember her French.] ...a yes?

Yes!

[ double drat ]

....is the meaning of "oui."

[ Her cheeks flame. ]

Which is to say, um, Lisa is my dear friend.....

Ah! I think I get it. I'm glad!

[She hesitates. She should mention even if it feels a little awkward still. Almost like boasting.

But, no, it's just being honest.]

Lisa and I are--ah--we're dating.

[ Dating? Jeannette pauses. Had she heard that correctly? Junna and Lisa...are...

Her cheeks flush, and she bursts into a smile, she's so happy for the both of them. Finding love is a great thing! ]

Ah! Like in Saint Catherine's?! That is so wonderful....!!

[ Saint Catherine's, if Junna is up on her popular fiction, is a series of yuri novels set in Catholic school. You Know The Type. ]

Like in-- [It takes Junna a sec, but then she nods. With a little laugh. No, she knows Saint Catherine's, she just didn't quite expect it to come up.] --Yes, a little like that. Maybe less uniforms.

Ah, thank you, though! Which... is all to say, we do work together. [She laughs a little awkwardly.]

A Striker and a Sentinel.

[ She giggles as something occurs to her. ]

We are a set!

A set? Ha, you're right! [Junna laughs too, with a nod.]

We'd compliment each other perfectly.

I should like to try sometime, if it is not too much trouble.

[ She had been hoping to work more closely with Lisa before being called away to France, after all. And she likes what she has seen of Junna, as well!

Oh, but.... ]

And if....that is....I would not be in the way.....

[ Dating. Dating!!!

Why does that concept make her heart flutter so? ]

I'd be happy to! We'd compliment each other well.

[Oh, but Jeanette seems flustered. And Junna thinks she might get why.

It could be like being a third wheel.]

No, no, not at all. We're -- ah, Dreamer business is separate from dating.

That is good to hear.

[ She's pink all the way to her ears, though it might be hard to tell in her bundled-up state. Jeannette starts shoveling with new aplomb, wondering why the mention of two girls "dating" is making her heart hammer so. She knew it could happen, from St. Catherine's.....But what a lovely thing it must be, to protect the people you love with someone you hold so very dearly.....

.....

......why is she thinking of her angel?! ]

I'm glad.

[She smiles... and waits a moment, then another, as she spots the way that Jeannette is flushed.]

...Is everything all right?

Ah, pay me no mind it is....

.....

[ She cannot say it is nothing. That would be a lie.

SHOVEL SHOVEL SHOVEL SHOVEL ]

...I-If you're sure!

[It seems like something... but far be it from Junna to insist someone talks! That's not very nice.

Especially a new friend.

And there's shoveling to do, besides.]
