Training [It's a lot different than fighting in the Metaverse was, that's for sure. Honestly, it's why she's focusing on things a bit at a time, alternating between use of her axe and use of her new Semblance--plant manipulation. Whichever one she's used most recently, she's taking a break now, her axe still nearby.]
My goodness, I'm still going to need more practice before I'm entirely used to this...
Grimm Hunting [Haru doesn't like what she's hearing tonight, frankly. It doesn't sound like there's a lot of Grimm out there, but even just a few is more than she's strictly comfortable with. Her eyes flick over to whoever's with her.]
Should we go after them?
R&R [Haru's much gentler, genuinely so, when fighting isn't at the forefront of her mind. She settles in near the fire, glad for the warmth, and offers a smile to whoever's nearby--and should they be standing, she motions to invite them to sit with her.]
We've all been working hard... come, rest for a while.
[Ah, well. That sure is... interesting. She'll address the matter of who the idol herself is in a moment, but first, to address what was actually said...]
Well, I imagine we have to play by this world's rules for the time being... And I'm sure you'll learn with time. I'm actually rather inexperienced myself, all things considered. [She pauses, clearly mulling over the next part before she says it.] I'm sorry, but... did you say 'Persona'...?
[Because, yeah, that's what mainly caught her attention there.]
[ honestly, yeah, they've all been going pretty hard. yukari isn't the type to shirk responsibility, but at the same time, if she burns out? that won't do any good. so she takes a seat next to haru and offers a smile. ]
How are you doing? It's a lot of work, isn't it? Not that I'm complaining, but...
I think I'm getting used to it... It's quite a bit more than I expected, to be honest.
[She's used to a certain amount of hard work, but real combat is very different from anything the Phantom Thieves had done in the Metaverse. She can't rely on cognition tricks here.]
I know I certainly would never have dreamed of doing something like this even just a month ago. And living in Tokyo my entire life definitely wouldn't have prepared me for it, anyway, even if I was expecting it...
Why, yes! Let us rest and be rewarded for our efforts today.
[ ...yeah. i'm so sorry, haru. kaoru will sit next to haru, cross her legs and lean back on her hands. ]
You've worked hard today, haven't you? Ah, I can see how battle-worn you are through the weary look in your eyes! Tell me, what sorts of adventures has a brave kitten like yourself gotten up to today?

Training
Don't be like that! I'm sure I'll get it down eventually!
I wouldn't need to "get it down" If I just had my Persona back!
[Hey, Haru? Three Rise Kujikawas have just approached you. They are easily made distinctive by the color of their clothes.]

no subject
Or at least, I would be if I still had Himiko!
It's not like I'm not used to being helpless like this.
Okay, I'm merging before you two attract Grimm like this!
[With a brief flash of light, the three Rises merge into one.]
Sorry about that, I'm still working out how my Semblance... well, works!

... Ah! Not that I'm complaining either.
no subject
Don't worry, I didn't take it as complaining. I mean, this is probably something a lot of people aren't super used to.
no subject
I know I certainly would never have dreamed of doing something like this even just a month ago. And living in Tokyo my entire life definitely wouldn't have prepared me for it, anyway, even if I was expecting it...
no subject
And... yeah, I know what you mean. I'm used to fighting and stuff, but this seems different.
no subject
[Though, honestly, it could stand to be a little less interesting sometimes.]
I'd only really started seeing more of it for myself recently, though, I had something of a sheltered upbringing.
[There's something distant in her expression for a moment, but it's gone soon enough.]
Adjusting to the Semblances has been... interesting, as well. Mine's certainly not what I'm used to being able to do.

[KAORU WHY... It takes Haru a moment or two to recover, but when she does, she clears her throat a bit.]
Ah, well, I've spent a good deal of today clearing out some of the Grimm in the area that I could handle on my own...
[It's become a more exhilarating experience as she's gotten used to it.]
Ah... what about you? How has your day been?
