Remind Naoto why she's here?

Right because Steph had cut off the connection before Naoto could refuse to show up.

So right, she was here to tell her that she can party by herself and Naoto wouldn't be joining in.

Dressed in her usual attire.. well what was usual now, pants and a shirt and katana by her side, she scanned the area for a person she didn't know, but was familiar from the video. And it didn't take long to spot the blond. Naoto approached her, walking on the freaking sand that made her steps uneasy. She was too used to concrete.

[selfmadehero]

Either training was paying off or this place was making her much more aware of her surroundings, because Stephanie was aware that she was being approached before she even heard footsteps on the sand. She rolled over off of her stomach and raised a hand to shade her eyes, looking up at her reluctant (and apparently samurai) guest.

"You're gonna have a hard time tanning in that," she noted with a wry grin, sitting up on her elbows. "Glad you made it!"

[bladedstray]

"Tan-- no. I'm here to refuse your offer." It wasn't much, but Naoto figured she should be at least formal. Telling her was the right thing, right?

"So if you excuse me..."

[selfmadehero]

Steph sat up on her sad little towel, giving Naoto a dubious look.

"So you came to the beach... to tell me you aren't coming to the beach? Are you sure you didn't just want an excuse to come to the beach?"

[bladedstray]

"You cut me off. I waited in order to finish the conversation." And that was that really.

[selfmadehero]

She blinked at the black haired girl, still a bit dubious.

"Alright. Well since you're here, you might as well have some fun. We've got more towels, if you want."

[bladedstray]

"I already said no." And that was final to her.

[selfmadehero]

She simply shrugged. "Your loss. Sorry you came all the way down here just to say you weren't coming down here." She turned back over onto her stomach to continue sunbathing, still confused that Naoto had gone to so much trouble just to refuse an invitation.

[bladedstray]

"Huh..." That was easy. She figured Steph would have been a lot more like Adam and force his ideals and ways onto other people. "Is it really that important to you?"

[selfmadehero]

"What," she yawned, "sunbathing? It's not really the sunbathing that's important so much as the relaxing."

[bladedstray]

"Relaxing during a time like this."

[selfmadehero]

"Yup!" she replied cheerfully. "If you don't take the time to relax every now and again you'll drive yourself crazy. Trust me, I've seen it." Mostly in Batman, but at least he was a good kind of crazy.

[bladedstray]

"Your guard is down." And if that's down and something attacks, it's all over. That's why the katana came with her everywhere... except for that one time. That time, she let her guard down which cost her here.

[selfmadehero]

"I'm not a fighter," she replied blandly. "I'm in just as much danger sitting in my house as I am sitting on this beach." She glanced up at the sword Naoto was carrying.

"'Sides, you're here, and you've got a sword. That's about as covered as I get!"

[bladedstray]

"I told you, I am returning. I'm am not staying here."

[selfmadehero]

"Well you're still here. So if I keep talking to you, will that make you my bodyguard?"
