Yellow Ranger has posed:
    Trini Kwan is currently doing some Tai Chi practicing, languid movements of her arms on a yoga mat. She's wearing a yellow tanktop and a pair of black leggings, white socks and white tennis shoes with yellow trim and laces. Her hair is done up in a simple ponytail, pulled back to keep her hair out of her face. She seems to be done now, and wanders over to pick up a little yellow purse that's hanging up by the entrance way.

Ivory has posed:
Just ar Trini wraps up, Ivory gets into the youth center, offering a wave with one hand, the other checking the phone for time. Scanning the room with the own white hair in a similar ponytail to Trini, they finally find their target to move closer to. "Heeeey miss 'can you make a sabertooth kitten!"

Yep, Ivory was looking for Trini. "How have you been? I hope good, because Kung-Fu-Saberkitten did sell like hotcakes."

Yellow Ranger has posed:
    It has been a long time since she's seen Ivory and got that custom t-shirt! So when she sees them, Trini's eyes light up in surprise, "Oh heeeeey!" She says cheerily, really happy to see them. She laughs a bit, and then replies, "I've been good I've been good, thank you for asking! And that's good to hear! How've things been with you?" She asks, putting her purse over her left shoulder and standing with her weight on her right hip.

Ivory has posed:
Long time being still in the same year though, so Ivory shouldn't be too far from sight. Offering an arm for a hug, if Trini wanted, the whitehead smiles. "Well, I have been decent. You know what they say about cats. Or cat designers, because, I dunno, is there a difference?" They clearly joke, because, really, who *would* turn into a cat of sorts... well, Ivory, but then again, who would *expect* it? Nobody. "They can't have bad times, or so some claim. Always up for no good. Or all good. Depending who you ask. I believe those calling cats no good are dogluvers anyway."

Yellow Ranger has posed:
    Trini doesn't seem to mind the hug, leaning in for it and letting them have it. Her smile widens. "Heh. I guess there isn't a difference." The joke about dogluvers gets a laugh from Trini and she nods her head a few beats. "Sounds about right!" She states as she gently peels away from them. "I'm glad that shirt sold well though. Happy to hear I was able to help you out." A pause. "Sorry if I'm sweaty. Was doing some Tai Chi earlier. Do you wanna maybe get a milkshake or something?"

Ivory has posed:
Ivory says, "Ahw, come on, you're not thaat sweaty. And besides, nice deo." Ivory teases back a little, nodding at the suggestion of somethind sweet. "As far as helping out... well, just telling the story of the shirt did it for some. Like, that it was a commission and it stood for your like of that martial art. I have the feeling that ans shirt with a story gets people latching to it more anyway."

"So Milkshake, hmm? Let's get some. Vanilla or Choco? And exra cream?" A tiny moment Ivory tilts the head, then smiles again. "I bet you want Vanilla.""

Yellow Ranger has posed:
    Trini nods along as she listens. "Well that's really sweet, and sounds like it makes sense, yeah. I'm glad it was successful though. Let's celebrate!" Before she heads over to the counter, she listens and replies, "Heh heh, well, I guess I can get extra cream on mine. I like banana shakes though, but with a vanilla base so I guess you're right heh." She pads over to the counter to order, sliding into a stool and looking to Ivory once more. "Got any ideas for any new designs?"

Ivory has posed:
"Vanilla Banana, because yellow, hmm?" Ivory pokes a tad while they follow along, offering a tiny grin on the extra cream. "You like the white stuff too? Which cat wouldn't, hm?"

"Well, thinking of it, I am working through the Catvengers ever so slowly, though for *some* reason I can't find a good way to make a cat version of those Gotham heroes. I mean, they'd all look the same. Black cats with the exception of one tabby with a green collar."

Yellow Ranger has posed:
    Trini manages a little laugh when Ivory mentions 'because yellow.' She nods a few times, "Yeah. Yeah that's my favorite color! Heh." There's a pause, and she realizes, "Oh yeah, yeah. Milk. Milk, definitely. I guess white is another favorite of mine but you know it's technically not a color, white and black aren't." Trini orders her shake, letting Ivory order theirs, and then asking, "The Catvengers? Interesting..."

Ivory has posed:
"White's all the color of light, Black's all the color of paint combined." Ivory chuckles as they order just vanilla, extra cream and rainbow sprinkles for their shake, a wicked wide grin in the face. "Yea, Catvengers. You know, Avengers are taken and I deal with kitten shirts, so their feline counterparts, kinda. Like, some are easy. You know, Black Panther as a panther, others are hard. Like, what kinda cat woud be Cat Strange, or Spider-Cat?"

Yellow Ranger has posed:
    "That's right!" Trini exclaims happily, seeming to be cheerful that Ivory got it right. "Rainbow sprinkles was a good idea. I should try that next time." She ahhs, "I see. I... wouldn't know but we could do some research, maybe, and see what we could come up with. It sounds like fun." It's not long before their milkshakes are served, and she thanks the server before taking a sip while her eyes shift to Ivory.

Ivory has posed:
Ivory stirs the sprinkles into the yellow-white shake after it is delivered, creating a quite colorful mix in the glass, all the rainbow from the sprinkles getting turned into streaks of rainbow in the liquid. "Just add them so you can drink Rainbow! I mean, there's maybe some tricks so one could be a unicorn and create rainbows other way, but I like this way to taste the rainbow over skittles all days!" It's almost a happy exclamation, Ivory chuckling as they look back, meeting Trini's eyes. "Well, I guess Black Widdow should be some sort of reddish cat. You know, because of her hair. Thor... maybe a Norvegian Forest Cat in blonde? I mean, he's all muscle, no fat, especially in the sweet sweet derriere." There's a wink coming from the Cat designer.

Yellow Ranger has posed:
    Trini watches Ivory mix the sprinkles into the shake, seeming a bit mesmerized by it before her eyes flick up to Ivory and she nods. "Drink Rainbow. Heh... that sounds like it'll be really tasty." Her eyes meet Ivory's and she continues to listen while Ivory goes over what some of the different Avengers would be as cats, "Seems like you got... most of it down pat. It sounds pretty accurate!" Her lips move to her straw and take another sip of her cold milkshake. "Mmh."

Ivory has posed:
Ivory chuckles at the suggestion they have everything down, and after a good pull from the straw offers a wide smile with tongue extrended, colorful streaks on the pink. "It tastes all sweet, but makes for fun mixing. And what's up on your end? I mean, besides beating training once again and being glorious at it?" There's a little teasing wink even.

Yellow Ranger has posed:
    Trini leans away from her shake and laughs softly when Ivory tells her she's being glorious at her training. "Well, I try." She's always so modest. "I've just been visiting family up in Canada, and just traveling around, trying to see the world, you know? Other than that just... trying to spend what time I can with good friends." A warm smile about her, plumping those cheeks up of hers. "Like you...!"

Ivory has posed:
Ivory chuckles a moment at the laugh they coaxed from Trini, broadening into a genuine smile. "Oh, I spend time with a few really good friends, though some of them are surprisingly busy! We totally should have met up sooner again! And it's a pitty you did not opt for your little sabertooth tigress. Though I must say..." There's a short flick of the eyes down over Trini's sports outfit, returning back to Trini's eyes in a teasing fashion before the whitehead lets them roam much slower over the black haired one. "You do rock that look. All the right muscles."

Yellow Ranger has posed:
    As Trini listens, she takes a few more sips of her milkshake. When Ivory tells her she rocks that look, and has all the right muscles, Trini's eyes widen and she almost chokes, putting a hand up to her lips and coughing. "Oh! Err... S-Sorry." She reaches for a napkin on the bar and starts to wipe it over her hand. "... I drank a little too fast." There's a blush to her cheeks now. "Thank you though. I... I try to keep myself fit and all. Just... occasionally enjoy a banana milkshake." She gestures to it with the hand she had to clean, the left. "Heh."

Ivory has posed:
"Just a little fast today, hmmm?" Ivory teases ever so slightly, those blue eyes of the whitehead winking slowly, feigning innocense. "It'll be all right, you are the sabertooth Kung Fu Tigress after all. Just remember to breathe, cutie."

"Want to see a movie later? I think I saw they have some slasher film on in the cinema I passed on the way here. Or would you rather prefer something different?"

Yellow Ranger has posed:
    Trini averts her eyes timidly when she's called the sabertooth Kung Fu Tigress. "... Something like that. Heh." She sits up straight and then can be heard breathing in deep and then exhaling. "Yeah. Yeah a movie sounds good. A scary movie sounds fun!"
