The Morning Routine; Felix

It was around ten o'clock in the morning and it was quiet. It was a Saturday, so sleeping in was a luxury and it was something that Kotomi rarely enjoyed. Kotomi was use to waking up early and not in her bed. She was often asleep in her lab during a project, or getting up early to continue her project. Kotomi was always all over the place and doing things. But sometimes, it was nice to sleep in, especially on a Saturday. She would be ale to enjoy a normal morning routine on this sunny brisk day. But that wasn't all that was happening today.

Her roommate and best friend's sleeping cycle would finish and he would awake like a normal person. It meant she'd get to sit down and have breakfast with some one for once. And so, as the light shone through the window and onto her face, Kotomi's gunmetal eyes blinked open. At first, she turned away from the light, a bit groggy and wanting more sleep. But as she did, her face rolled over onto a man's chest. That's right; Kotomi shared her bed with a man. It wasn't her boyfriend or lover or anything, just her best friend. Because of his odd sleeping cycle, it was often that he was not in the bed. During those times, Kotomi used it for herself. But when he was sleeping, Kotomi used it anyway.

She was comfortable around her friend enough to know that he would not do anything to her. They were close, but not in a sexual way. And so, sitting up and pushing the covers from the upper half of her body, she yawned a bit and smiled. Her sleepwear was simple yet sexy. Just a pair of panties and her friend's barely buttoned up shirts. Her excuse for using his shirt was that they were more comfortable and that since she cleaned them, she owned them. He didn't argue against it much and Kotomi doubted any guy really would. Stretching a bit, Kotomi looked down at the sleep body and poked his cheek with a smirk. "How come you can't look this innocent when you are awake...?" She said aloud with a smile. With that, she turned and hopped out of the bed. Standing she walked to the window to see if anything interesting was going on outside before she started breakfast.

It was true, after five days of straight sleeping; it was once again time for Felix to be awake for another five days. It was an inconvenient, yet useful cycle of sleeping and waking that he had. Because how much stamina Felix had, it took even longer to recharge it. And five days worth of sleep did exactly that. Luckily, it was Saturday and that meant the first two days of his awake cycle could be spent having fun and not worrying about school. It also meant he could play around with all the girls he wanted in the next couple of days. He had woken a little while before Kotomi did. But being lay back guy that he was, he merely rested in the bed and pretended to sleep.

It was a sort of day-dream morning trance he had put himself into, a half sleep. However, when he felt a finger poke his cheek, he knew that Kotomi had awoken as well. Felix had no problems sleeping with another girl in his bed. In fact, rarely did Felix sleep without a girl next to him. Whether it be one of his flings, his current girlfriend, or just Kotomi, there was always some one next to him. And despite the fact that he got no play from Kotomi, it was still nice to have some one next to him. It was almost as if Felix was dependant on having a female body next to him as he slept. As she got out of the bed, Felix rolled over to look at her standing and staring out of the window. And as she stretched, his smiled as he watched her (his) shirt rise and see her tight little panties.

"It only appears when you wear those cute yet childish kitty panties." He said, smiling and remarking about her choice of underwear. Sitting up in the bed, his chest was completely bear. Under the cover, he wore a pair of sweatpants. Felix usually slept nude, but Kotomi had requested that he stopped doing that for whatever reason. Getting out of the bed on the same side that Kotomi did, he stood behind her.

He placed a hand on the wall next to the window and looked over Kotomi and out the window. "If we stay like this, some might look and think we are a happy couple waking from a vigorous night." He said to her, sticking his tongue out.

Kotomi's smiling expression turned to a dull shocked one as Felix spoke. She continued to look out of the window and simply shook her head. "You are supposed to pretend to not hear those things. If I was any normal girl from this realm, which would have been embarrassing." She told him, sighing a bit and leaning forward to glare out of the window some more. Her eyes soon shifted as she noticed his hand more to the wall and the wall from behind. Jumping up, she turned around and punched Felix in the chest. "Don't be stupid! Like I'd let some one misunderstand something like that! And you shouldn't sneak up on people when you got a case of morning wood." She said nonchalantly, and pointing down to his crotch.

Stepping away from the window and him, she twirled a bit and smiled. "But at least it's a nice morning. I know you’re hungry so I'll make breakfast this time." Kotomi said to Felix. She started out of the room only to stop at the door and looked back at Felix. "And for your information, girls only wear sexy underwear when they want them to be seen! So if they're too kiddy for you, don't look!" Kotomi said, sticking her tongue back out at him. She hopped out of the room and walked down and out the hall to the living room and kitchen area. Stopping as she entered the kitchen, she paused for a moment to think about what she should make.

"Hmm...What do we have...?" She questioned, moving to the fridge and popping it open to see what was available. There were eggs, bacon, some ham, and some other random things. But Kotomi didn't want to do too normal of a breakfast. "Omelets it is!" She decided with a clasp of her hands. It would be a quick and easy meal. She took out the things she needed and some extra to sauce the dish up a bit. Eggs and cheese could only get the meal so far after all. She wanted to add some peppers, ham, and bacon to make it just a little bit special this time. Digging through the cabinets for the pan, she flicked the stove on and buttered it up. Humming to herself, she started the meal, already forgetting the usual jokes and things say between her and Felix. It was something that happened often and they teased each other a lot, but that's how their friendship worked.

Felix laughed at Kotomi's retort. "You're so cute when you're angry." He told her, teasing her again. As she moved, he leaned up against the wall and turned toward her so that his shoulder was now supporting him. "There are some things I can't help, especially when sleeping next to a pretty girl." He told her as she started out of the room. When she stopped, Felix lifted his head a little to show that he was listening.

Her comment made him laugh. He didn't need to be told that. It was something that every guy with a close female friend knew. Sexy underwear was usually for exactly what it was named after, sex. As she headed for the kitchen, Felix made his way to the bathroom.

The morning routine always included a formal sitting on the throne, especially after sleeping for five days. But once he was done and while he was still in there, he decided to at least wash his face. He'd save brushing his teeth and other things for when he finished eating. Heading out into the living room area, he glanced at Kotomi over in the kitchen as she was buttering up the pan.

He smirked and sat on the couch. "What a perfect housewife moment. You need to hurry and get married before you become a bitter old woman. Need me to pick you out some sexy underwear?" He said to her with a wink and a chuckle. He turned around to switch on the TV and leaned back on the couch, letting the news talk about the weather. It was going to be a sunny, yet cold weekend and it would be windy early in the week. It meant Felix would get to have some fun walks and outings before taking his girls up on indoor activities. A man's heat was really useful for these kinds of things. It was like the female equivalent of a woman's softness.

It was funny how those things worked so well. Glancing back at Kotomi as he smelled the food cook, he smirked. "So love? What are you making your loving and affectionate newlywed husband? It smells good, you need any help or are you already use to these primitive cooking methods?"

Kotomi shook her head as she let the breakfast cook. Moving to in front of the counter top, she turned around and faced him. "You'd think so since I was the woman of the house growing up. You know my father's a smith and you know he can't cook. In fact, any time you came over, he'd cook on purpose just to try and kill you off." Kotomi said to Felix, smirking a bit as she spoke. "I just hope he's not too angry with me leaving home like I did; and with a father's worst enemy at that." She added, sticking her tongue out at him again. "And like hell I'm getting married. I have more important things to do with my life. I'll just stay single and happy. It’s a whole lot less trouble." She added, turning around adding a few extra seasoning to the omelet for taste.

She waited a few seconds longer for the egg to cook and then folded the dish in half to completely it. Taking out a place, she slid the omelet onto it before re-buttering the pan. "Well, that's one done for my newlywed husband, but since he doesn't exist, hell, I'll give it to you." She responded, sliding the plate further down the counter. She began to repeat the process again for herself, omitting the bacon as she didn't like too much of it in her omelet. When finished, she got herself out a plate and walked over into the living area to sit on the couch next to Felix.

Instinctively, she buried her bare toes under his thighs as he sat with her knees bent on the couch. Holding her plate in her hand, since it was too difficult for her lap, she looked up at the TV and the weather. "Lucky for you, it's sunny out. You better check your phone to see how many girls you got asking for dates. Without freedom, you are." She said, taking a bit of her omelet with her fork and popping it into her mouth.

Felix shifted his eyes to the side a bit at Kotomi's comment. "I always knew there was something messed up with the food. It didn't have the touch of a woman. That's enough poison as it is." He laughed, getting up and handing over into the kitchen as she spoke.

"And he knows why you're here. Don't like it bother you too much; nothing else does. It's not like you can't visit him at all, just ask and I'll take you." Felix started, walking to the counter and picking up his plate while Kotomi spoke more.

He shrugged her rejected to marriage off and grabbed a fork before taking his plate back over to the couch. He took a few bites of the omelet while he waited for Kotomi to join him. He smiled when she arrived and shifted a bit as he felt her toes hide under him. He knew woman hated the cold. It was why they liked a male's body heat so much. So he wouldn't complain with Kotomi using him for heat. When she mentioned the sun and the girls, Felix laughed and shook his head.

"I figured as much. It's why my phone is still off. I'll start hanging out after I clean up and eat. Until then, I'm all yours." Felix winked at Kotomi, teasing her again in response to her teasing him. He munched down a bit more of his food, enjoying it. He loved meals cooked by a woman. They were always so just and filled with love. Sure, Felix could cook too, but what fun was that when he could have a girl cook for him. It was always much more awesome and tasty when some one else prepared it. "This is wonderful Tomi-chan~” Felix said playfully. "Almost makes me want to forgo women....almost."

Kotomi looked at Felix and smiled. "You're such a loser." She said, sticking her tongue out at him and biting into her omelet. She wiggled her toes under his leg and looked at the TV with a smile. She glanced at him as he spoke about how he ignored the other girls and was only her's for the morning. Shaking her head, she finished the part of the omelet she was eating. "Don't flatter yourself and stop calling me that. We aren't kids anymore and you should know that better than anyone. My dad doesn't even use that name anymore. Just you and Tsyhtema are the only ones that can't seem to give it up!" She sighed and turned a bit.

She wanted to lean back on the arm of the couch while her cold toes remained under Felix's leg. She adjusted the shirt she was wearing a bit, knowing the boy would try and steal a peek as soon as she slipped up. "By the way, have you spoken with Serra and Lance yet? I know your job is only me, but you know their jobs as well. Why not let them in on it and save the other Dragoons the trouble." She asked, looking down a bit. "I'd prefer it if Finire or Nicole did not come here. They make me uneasy." She pleaded to the boy, biting into her omelet yet again. Sure, the majority of Dragoons were raised here in the Earth Realm, but the ones in the Dragon realm were much more different and frightening. Even the ones with good intentions seemed to be scary and from someone like Kotomi, that meant a lot.

Felix smirked as he listened to her, quietly finishing most of his omelet. After all, he had just slept for five days and he was hungry. He'd also never give up the chance to eat a girl's cooking. So it was only natural that he'd sit quietly and eat. A man and his food were like a woman and her emotions. It's a sucky analogy, but it worked.

"But I'm a hot loser right? And your nickname was cute; I don't see why you stopped using it. Remember I told you that I'd continue you use your nickname until you had kids around. I don't think you want them knowing their mother had a cute nickname right?" He said with a laugh, sitting up in his seat a bit so that he would not get indigestion. And then, as she brought up the issue with the Dragoon, Felix shrugged and closed his eyes as he used his fork to stick another piece of food in his mouth. Finishing it up, he spoke again.

"It's not my job to baby sit them. Let them have their fun like I'm having mine. Besides, I don't think Lance would want me anywhere near him or his female dominated family." Felix started with a wide grin. "And if they don't meet the other Dragoons, they'll be even more in the dark about what's going on in the other realm. I think it's better if they get a good visit and a reality check. As for Finire, I'll keep him away from you. I know how he feels about you and I know you don't want him near you." Be finished up what remain of his food and stood up, placing his plate on the table in front of them.

"Well, I might as well get ready. Wanna join me for a quick shower?" He said to her with a smirk and a wink.

Kotomi looked up at Felix and nodded softly. She looked down at her eat and ate the rest of it, letting the silence soak in for a bit. Then, when she was a few bites from finishing and he stood up, she looked back up at her, her fork still setting on the side of her lip. "You know, you can be sweet sometimes, but you are still a pervert!" She said, looking back at the TV and moving her feet under her own body. "And I'll save the offer for some other time. We aren't kids anymore so I don't need weird things poking at me." She said to him coldly.

She walked him walk off and sighed a bit. Felix was a cool guy and he was also her best friend. They could tease and berate each other all they wanted to, but they knew each others good points. After all, they grew up together and they both played a big part in the people that they had become. Getting up, Kotomi picked up Felix's plate as well. She took them over to the sink and tossed them in to be washed later. She yawned and stretched a bit, before returning to the couch.

The news was now recapping their top stories from yesterday and there was some big coverage on some new school that had opened. It was no big deal as the affairs of this realm weren't all that important to Kotomi. She was just a temporary asset in hiding and she didn't mind that. Glancing down the hallway, she smiled. "Hurry up, I need to shower too you know!?"

Felix laughed as he heard Kotomi yell at him. It was only natural after all. Shaking his head, he went back into the room and got out the clothing that he would wear today. Since it was Saturday, there was no doubt in Felix's mind that he would go clubbing. After all, it was the perfect time and it would be lively. And so, Felix would abandon his more formal attire for his more casual ones. He and Kotomi did share something after all these years together as children and that was their fashion sense. And though they both wore many different things at many different types, they both liked one certain kind of fashion the most.

And so, getting his clothes out, Felix choose a pair of black jeans like silver tribal marking running along the legs vertically and a long sleeved white shirt with a black denim vest over it. Both the jeans and the vest were decorated with a chain or two to keep it from being plain. And, of course, to finish the outfit off, black sneakers for the walking, dancing, and raving he'd have to endure. Setting his things out, he grabbed his towel and washrag and move to the bathroom only to hear Kotomi start to rush him. He waved her off and got into the shower, washing the morning and five days worth of sleep off of him. When he finished, he brushed his teeth and fixed his hair a bit, not wanting it to look too sloppy.

Coming out of the bathroom, he was only wearing his towel over his waist. He moved to the end of the hall and smirked. "All yours love, unless of course, you want to just tug right there?" He teased, pointing to the stuffed part of the towel that was holding it on his waist.

Kotomi puffed her cheeks when she did not get an answer back. And even though she could not see him, she could tell he was laughing at her. Shaking her head, she finally got up and waited into their room after the water had started in the bathroom. She went in to see Felix had already picked out what he was going to wear for the day and Kotomi decided to do the same. "He must be going clubbing. I should do something fun too." She said, smiling and tapping her chin a bit. She thought for a moment about what kind of fun things she could do for the day. Then the thought came.

A crazy adventure at the mall would be awesome. But to attach trouble, you needed to dress for it first. Pulling one of her drawers open, she dug a bit and found an orange and very loose tank top. Despite it being cold, she'd need this if she was going to start a fun adventure. Holding up, she smirked. "With something so...haphazard, I need to even it out..." She said to herself, slamming the drawer closed with her foot and walking over to the closet, she searched and found a pair of jeans. They weren't her's however, they were Felix's.

On her, they would be really baggy and big, but with a belt, she could have them hang really low on her hips. "Perfect!" She said, sticking her tongue out a bit. Setting them both down, she put them on the bed that was not currently in use. By this time, Felix was already out of the shower and brushing his teeth. Sighing, Kotomi grabbed her own towel and washcloth and moved into the hallway, only to spot Felix. She shook her head and kicked him in the shin. "Don't be stupid! Who would want....never mind, forget I even asked that and get out of my way!" She yelled, moving passed into and into the bathroom to bathe.

Felix held his shin after Kotomi had kicked it. Sure, it hurt, but it wasn't anything that Felix couldn't handle. After all, he had a very high threshold for pain. He simply laughed as Kotomi walked into the bathroom with her towel. "Don't think you’re safe from me just yet." He said, teasing her.

He moved to the bedroom where he saw the clothes Kotomi had laid out for herself. For some one that had no interests in relationships, she definitely didn't dress for it. Her clothing was something that would definitely hook a guy without her even trying. Hell, all she'd have to do was bend over slightly and there would be enough cleavage jiggling in the top to have any guy drooling. The thought put a smile on his face. Partially for imagining Kotomi, a very hot girl, showing off in the top, and partially because even so many males would want her, he was the one that slept with her every night.

Sure, there was no sex, but it was still a stab to their pride that he could be so close to a hot girl that they wanted. Laughing to himself, he tossed his towel aside and got dressed, taking his time to make sure his clothes were straight and not too sloppy. He even dealt like his hair a bit. He wasn't a gel maniac or anyone that would overly obsess with it. He just wanted to make sure that it wasn't a complete mess. With that done, Felix filled his pockets with his important daily things. His wallet, his money, and his cell phone riddled with five days worth of messages. Sitting on the bed, he took the time to listen to them all and make a note of who he needed to call back.

Kotomi covered her ears with her hands and shook her head. "Shut up! Can't hear you!" She yelled out, going into the bathroom. She took his shirt off and tossed it aside. And after removing her panties, she started the water to get it to the right temperature. With that done, she got in and bathed, making sure to clean properly for the day to come. Once she was done, she took the time to wash her hair thoroughly and make sure that it was ready for her usual style. Finishing up, she stepped out of the bath and patted her hair dry. With it out of its usual pigtails, her hair covered over her butt. It was hard to tell most of the time, but her hair was really long.

But because Kotomi almost always wore her hair up, it was hard to picture her hair actually being as long as it was. Now that her hair and body was dry, she wrapped herself in her towel and started to comb her hair out. It'd take a bit of time, so Kotomi left the bathroom for the bedroom as she combed her hair. Walking in, she saw Felix playing around with his phone and dressed. Walking to the bed, she looked stood and looked over him. "Go play with your phone somewhere else. I need to get dressed. And don't go on some speech about how great it would be to see my body as you aren't going to see it." She said, firmly holding the loose ends of the towel together. "So...like..scat!"

OOC: Only doing this because Neko suggested it.

IC>>>>>

(He was lost. Well...he was lost. You see, the problem lay in the fact that he just didn't know this place as well. He'd been to AHS a whopping once, and he didn't take the tour. So, you can imagine how hard it was to find one person. Not knowing the layout of the school, he needed to go get a map. Not knowing where the maps and information were, he had to ask for help from others. It was a vicious cycle, and it took him an EXTRA hour on top of that to know which room he was aiming for. And the stares he was getting was beginning to tax his patience. Yes, he knew he wasn't suppose to be here, that he wasn't one of the students yet. He would soon enough, though not under his real name.)

Grim: Until I feel up to it, I'll remain Grim, not Vaughn Heavenclaw.

(For those of you not aware, Grim is a cat being. His hair was black, his eyes were orange, and he's wearing mostly black today...along with the scythe on his back. He appears fairly strong, versatile-looking, and has a pair of cat ears. No tail, mind you. He was not an Earth-cat of any sort. His was the offworld race known as Moonian, and he was of one of the noble families, though not...one of the stronger members. Okay, he was the runt, but that was his point in being here. He didn't want to be that. So, while he looked athletic, handsome, and all...he was still the weakest in the family, and he didn't do too well standing up for himself. Lately, though, Grim felt a surge of pride for standing up for others, and now he was going to see about aiding a friend of his...with a little help from Kotami. Finding the room in question, he briskly knocked on it, and waited.)

Looking up from his phone, Felix looked at Kotomi in her semi-wet towel state. Instantly a smile popped onto his face and he stood up. "Now that's more like it. Almost as hot as you in just my shirt." He said, teasing. "And I can stay here if I want. If I remember correctly...you are the freeloader and this is my dorm. Besides, it's nothing I haven't seen before and I've seen much better." He said, walking up to her. He slipped his phone into his pocket and walked passed her before stopping.

"By the way, these clothes are pretty hot, you going man hunting or something. I think it'd be easier if....” he started, pausing to pick up her clothes. And then he quick snatched her towel from her and fled to the door. "You went like that!" He said with a laugh before running off into the living room area. That was when the knock on the door had come. What perfect timing right? Moving to the door, he opened it to see a boy with a scythe and cat ears.

"Hey! Hold on to these for me will ya?" He said, tossing the towel and clothes at the boy. He didn't know who the boy was or why he was here, but he had become an excellent scapegoat. "By the way, you might want to duck. She aims for the face." He added, hoping the boy would understand quickly enough.

Kotomi placed her hands on her hips as she watched Felix. "Just get out, okay? It's all about privacy!" She yelled as he walked passed her. She closed her eyes and gave a brief sigh. And at the moment, when she let her guard down, he struck. In an instant, her towel was gone and she was left nude in the room. As the realization struck, Kotomi went for her clothes only to realize that he had taken those too. That bastard was definitely going to pay. Glancing around, she picked up the shirt she had worn to sleep. It was his shirt, but it'd have to do.

And without panties, she'd just have to be careful and not raise her arms too high. Tossing it out, she chased, running into the living room to see that Felix was at the door talking to some one. And In mid-run, Kotomi jumped into the air and flying kicked Felix, her foot going straight to his face and knocking him down. "Perverted bastard!" She yelled, only to realize that now that he was on the ground, he could look up the shirt at her. Her moved her foot over his eyes and looked to Grim. "Gimme a sec Grimmy."

She said, plunging her hands into the pile of clothes and taking out her panties. They were more a thong, but with more material that covered more of her. But the strings were a bit longer so that they could be worn high and seeable right about her low-rise baggy jeans. Taking a moment, right in front of both Grim and Felix, she slipped on her underwear and hopped off of Felix. Taking the rest of her clothes, she turned around. "Give me a second Grim and tend to this fool." She said, tilting her head with a smile. With that, she rushed back into the room and began to get dressed.

(Grim had always regarded Earth as a strange world, probably because he was the foreigner here. This was a fact that was justified every day, as he learned about new things and confronted ever-bizarre situations. Case in point, as the door suddenly came open and a boy he didn't recognize threw something.)

"Hey! Hold on to these for me will ya?"

(His first instincts was that this was not something he wanted thrown at him, and thus he reacted accordingly. His scythe was quickly whipped out - blade facing away from the launched clothing, and intercepted it. They were now hanging off the weapon, undamaged, as though they were hanging off a towel rack of some kind.)

"By the way, you might want to duck. She aims for the face."

(Oh no... What'd he just gotten himself into? Wait...these were a set of girl's clothes on DeathClaw now... Grim looked in surprise at this. What the hell was he doing, and who was he? This was gonna look bad in a moment, and then maybe he'd have to test those reflexes of his after all! Well, that was what he assumed...until Kotami came outta nowhere and BAM!!)

Grim: Yes, I can see that. It looks painful too.

(Yeah, no real sympathy for the devil here. Felix was on his own against Kotami. Grim was ever the gentleman here. You get that from being of a noble family. So, he allowed the clothing and stuff to be taken, blinking at the part where she called him "Grimmy". Wasn't that...the name of a dog from a popular comic strip in newspapers?)

Grim: When did I become a dog...?

"Give me a second Grim and tend to this fool."

Grim: Ummm...who is he? And why...why was he throwing clothes around?

(Not only was that hard to get out by the standards of a social problem-child like him, but it was also embarrassing!)

As Felix warned, it seemed that his words were shoved right back at him. In moments, there was a foot in his face and he was knocked to the ground. Truthfully speaking, Felix was much stronger and sturdier than that. But if he didn't fall, he wouldn't get his reward afterwards. After all, she was only wearing his shirt and so, looking up, he got to see goodies. It was a personal victory that only the three people present would ever get to acknowledge, but that was enough for him. As he laid on the ground, he gave a thumbs up and a smile.

"Painful but satisfying." He said with a wide grin, only to have Kotomi put her foot over his eyes. Once she had gathered her clothes and left, he stood back up and stepped aside so that the boy could enter. "I'm Felix, her roommate slash caretaker. And I assume you're Grimmy." He said, laughing a bit at the nickname. "You're more a cat than a dog though. But I bet that even you'd agree that she was much hotter in just a shirt than with all those clothes on. Especially from below!" He added, holding his hands around one of his eyes as if it were a telescope. He walked over to the couch and plopped himself onto it, leaning back and looking at the boy.

"So who are you anyways? A boyfriend maybe? If that's the case, maybe I should keep the fact that we sleep in the same bed a secret." Felix teased, sticking his tongue out. In fact, Felix knew exactly who the boy was and he knew Kotomi currently had no interests in a relationship. He knew all about the incident with David Davidson and Keefe and Korszak and everything. After all, the girl had some crazy affection for him and even freaked a playboy like him out a little.

Not only that, but when Kotomi did tell him about the whole adventure, she yelled at him for not being there. "Sit down, relax a bit, and tell me why you are here to see my precious princess." He then said, taking a fatherly tone just to see if the boy would be on edge.

Kotomi made her way back into the room to get dressed. She wasn't embarrassed about the situation at all, but angry at Felix for the way he always teased her. Of course, it would be normal to be angry for having to go through such an ordeal, but Kotomi was far from a normal girl or person. Her reactions and mannerisms left much to be desired about her sanity, but she was her and she enjoyed it. While she was getting dressed, she heard Felix speaking to Grim, no doubt teasing him and asking him why he was here. For a playboy pervert, he was much crueler than one would think. Finally done, Kotomi was all set. The lack of a bra and her lose top made for great eye candy and her low hanging, hip hugging, baggy jeans that showed off her underwear a little made what she was planning to do today very easy.

But now that Grim was here, she'd have to take care of him first before she had her fun. Taking up the mirror, she actually wore her hair straight out for once. It went better with her appearance than her usual pigtails. Once she was all done and set, she came back up into the living room, sitting down on the couch next to Felix and looking at Grim with a smile. "Hey Grimmy, didn't expect you so soon. And don't listen to anything this bastard says; he's just my roommate and guardian, nothing more." She added, making sure to clear up any stupidity that Felix might have caused. "So I guess you are ready to find this person you are looking for right. Tell me a bit about them and why they are missing and I may already have a solution.

(It was an odd sight, seeing these two go at it. Grim hadn't seen anyone that blatantly perverted in a long while. Oh, there are always people like that in some way, but he didn't actually care. They weren't people that he actually knew...until now. The fact that he knew Kotami made the situation a bit off. No...more like EXACTLY off. Knowing what she was and what people from her apparent world DO with people like her made Grim a bit iffy about Felix the pervert-boy. Grim entered as soon as there was room to do so.)

"I'm Felix, her roommate slash caretaker. And I assume you're Grimmy. More a cat than a dog though. But I bet that even you'd agree that she was much hotter in just a shirt than with all those clothes on. Especially from below!"

Grim: But I see you have the real Felix's buggy-eyes.

(A comment in a hostile tone, though Grim wasn't sure why. Perhaps he didn't like Felix that much, comparing him to the cartoon cat. Perhaps he just didn't like being called Grimmy. Nobody else called him that. He was just removing his scythe to put it down by a seat when Felix spoke again. There was a twitch in his ears and his orange eyes narrowed, then he went back to the business of finding a seat. Then...)

"Sit down, relax a bit, and tell me why you are here to see my precious princess."

(That made Grim's ears perk up in almost shock, and then he turned on Felix in anger, his pupil's slitted with a very clear hate there.)

Grim: Don't talk to me that way ever again. The only one who does is six-foot-five and carries a weapon larger than your body, so I'm NOT gonna take that from you!

(Anger came easily. Grim had repressed anger towards his whole family. Speaking to him like a father-like tone was grounds for a gutting. But...he didn't do so. Instead, he calmed himself to whatever degree his temper would allow, and sat down. So no, he didn't like Felix that much. He was cracking jokes at a time when things weren't funny. He waited for Kotami to return before trying to get into speaking terms again.)

"Hey Grimmy, didn't expect you so soon. And don't listen to anything this bastard says; he's just my roommate and guardian, nothing more. So I guess you are ready to find this person you are looking for right? Tell me a bit about them and why they are missing and I may already have a solution."

(He sighed, letting his anger run its course. He was here for help, after all. Not to paint the walls with the blood of Felix.)

Grim: You'll have to forgive my temper... A Moonian has mood swings that kill or get oneself killed, given the time. Anyway...it's just one person, another member of the BPRD that's been missing for a while now. I've tried to locate her several times...since she was last seen, but...the trail is cold. I don't even have the dreams anymore. I- No... From the beginning.

(He had to think on this. How would he explain the trouble of the wayward agent/student/friend of his? Grim put his hands together, cracking his knuckles for concentration and focus.)

Grim: When I joined the BPRD, there was another student called Sara Amberdine. Strange girl that...was half-spider or something. A hybrid, but...not like you, Kotami. She'd joined because...she knew she was supernatural, a kind of unknown being that the agency might be able to help her with. She had trouble controlling herself. Or at least, that's what she told me.

(There was a great deal of regret in his voice now. If only he'd done something more, been around at the right time... They lived in the same building for a while! He could've stopped her from leaving!)

Grim: I never knew all the details, because she didn't either, but something took over. That's all I know for certain. When she vanished, I began to get dreams, and I felt that was important because she had bizarre dreams, constantly. They led me to places she'd been, but I'd also been too late. People I spoke to who said they saw her said she'd been losing her mind. And I saw her later, mutated. But since then, nothing. She escaped, and I don't know what to do.

Felix chuckled at the boy's comments and remarks. It seemed that he was not rubbing him the right way. Though, it wasn't something that bothered Felix at all in the slightest. In fact, he was use to having males dislike him. His nature and manners were something that other males did not like. Maybe it was because he didn't pay enough attention to them or because he got too much attention from females. But this kind of relationship was a bit different. It wasn't his actions that had made her angry, but his words and tones. That rotted from something else that Felix had no control over and so Felix would do as he did with the rest of the males that disliked him; ignoring them.

"Seems I hit a button, I'll be careful and not tap it again. At least not anytime soon." Felix said, mentally sticking his tongue out at the guy. Felix couldn't help but tease. If they responded, why not give them more of it. It was one of the keys to but excellent in one of his favorite activities.

Once Kotomi came back and sat next to him, he smirked. Even after all he had done to tease her this morning, she still took a seat next to him naturally. If Felix wasn't so positive that they were only friends, it would have been taken as a very love driven action. But he knew Kotomi. They weren't like that and they comfortableness around each other came from growing up with each other. Upon listening to the guy's story, he got the jest of what was going on. The problem was simple and so was the solution, but to achieve that solution wasn't something he could think of or do. That was way Grim had come for Kotomi, not him.

Looking to her, he smiled and leaned back in his seat, putting an arm around Kotomi. "Sounds pretty difficult, but know you Tomi-chan, you can make something to find his girlfriend right?" He asked, teasing the guy even again, though in a less direct way this time.

Kotomi nodded as Grim told his story. He had mentioned something about the BPRD the last time they were on an adventure. And this person was important to him and also seemed to belong to this organization. Putting a finger to her lip, Kotomi thought for a second. There were plenty of ways she could approach these. Not only did the person share a lot of links with Grim, but she also had easily traceable characteristics. As Felix spoke, Kotomi glared at him. "I told you not to call me that anymore." She yelled at him, turning away from him and pushing her back into his side with a bit of force as she thought. "But you are right; I have a couple of solutions. The problem is decided which one is the most fun." She started. For Kotomi, just finding the solution to something wasn't enough. She had to do it in a way that led to the most fun possible.

"Well, for one, it makes sense that you dreams you've had only led to places that she was. After all, dreams are composed of memories, whether they are yours or just some one else's. It’s possible that the link is still there, even if something has taken her over. But since you are neither a being of my realm or this one, I'm not sure what kind of waves your mind will accept." She then sat up, standing and pulling on Felix so that he would stand as well. "But to make this easy...and fun. I'll need you to lie down on this couch and close your eyes. I'm going to analyze your mental barrier and record what kind of activities it has." She turned to Felix and smirked. "And you! Be a good pretend hubby and get my C-Disk for me. I get to do some poking!"

"Sounds pretty difficult, but know you Tomi-chan, you can make something to find his girlfriend right?"

(The catboy's attitude returned to annoyance as Felix made to tease him again. Sara was just a friend of his. They understood each other because they weren't very good at talking to people, and they were sort of outcasts in a way. Personally, if he didn't clock Felix one later, he imagined Sara might. The only thing that got him off the subject of putting a scythe through Felix's head about now was Kotami, and her sudden statement on the matter of what solution was the most...fun? Now...you have confused the Moonian. Good work. Though, it began to make a little more sense to him as she explained...)

"Well, for one, it makes sense that you dreams you've had only led to places that she was. After all, dreams are composed of memories, whether they are yours or just some one else's. It’s possible that the link is still there, even if something has taken her over. But since you are neither a being of my realm or this one, I'm not sure what kind of waves your mind will accept."

Grim: There's...an equivalent, but our minds are definitely foreign to this world. I've checked.

"But to make this easy...and fun. I'll need you to lie down on this couch and close your eyes. I'm going to analyze your mental barrier and record what kind of activities it has."

(Shrugging, Grim stood up - taking his scythe with him - and headed over to the couch as soon as those two moved. Placing Deathclaw down by it, as he was very attached to that scythe of his, he began to lie down as instructed. Why hadn't he tried this sooner? Oh yeah... Because he was really bad at asking for help, interacting with others, and so on. Well, this would help, anyway. As soon as Grim closed his eyes as Kotami asked him to do, he became unaware of what was actually going on in the room. Oh, he heard stuff perfectly fine, but from then on until he opened again, he would not see.)

Grim: Here goes nothing...

(He tried to relax, but it was pretty much impossible. And as for what Kotami managed to find... What a mess! The reactive barrier of his conscious and unconscious mind would seem to have been 'tested' in several ways. Let's see now... A bundle of stresses that were probably from home, considering how tightly he was keeping them shoved away, with all the surrounding 'areas' filled with anxieties and troubles all on their own. Let's see... Apparently, he'd been around plenty of ghosts and haunted areas, paranormal energies being on his mind alot. That's probably all the BPRD business he'd mentioned before. Aha... Here was something. Yes, dreamwaves from the external, rather than originating from him. They appeared to be very strong, as though the origin of such things were radiating it like mad. The strange thing about it, though, was that there were TWO sources, and they both seemed similar. If Kotami's reading method allowed her to see mental impressions, it would appear that one was from several times that carried the minor inkling of humanity...though it was lately steeped in something entirely monstrous. The other one was not human at all, but had also not been as invasive, more like a general imprint. And oddly enough...while the first dreamwave would leave the vision of something dark and monstrous...the other had the same inhuman feel while giving off a more human-like appearance. Funnily enough, accessing the dreamwaves put Grim to sleep, since he had opened himself up to this.)

Felix eyed Kotomi as she spoke. Sure, the most fun way of doing things was typically the best, but only for your own entertainment. Her ay of doing things really did seem complicated even though it wasn't. When some one tried to do something, but made it harder for their own fun, it seemed like a selfish act. But Kotomi, as selfish as she seemed was doing it to make it memorable....and fun, of course. It was the same as her mother did and so Felix could understand how she would act like this. Though their personalities were nothing alike, they did do things the same way. Getting up from the couch, he stepped aside so that the boy could lie down.

"He sure trusts you. Don't be surprised if you open your eyes and you'd lacking in clothing." Felix remarked, speaking to Kotomi first and the directing his words toward Grim. After being told of one of her recent ventures he figured that Kotomi just liked to randomly strip the people that were foolish enough to trust her.

Of course there was reasoning behind it, but it was much more fun to think of it differently. Nodding to the girl when he was asked to retrieve her item and he went off into their room. He came back moments later with a flat disk in between his fingers. "Now now pretend wifey. For this favor, you have to do 'that' for me today. It’s only fair right?" He teased, tossing the disk to her so that she could work with it.

He took Grim's former seat as he watched what was going on. As he was scanned, he noticed the boy becoming more and more relaxed. Had he really fallen asleep? Leaning back in his chair, he did not care enough to actually check. Instead he looked over at Kotomi and smiled. "Don't go poking where you don't need to. I'm watching you hun."

Watching Grim lie down and Felix go off to retrieve her C-Disk, Kotomi smiled. It seemed that she would get to have the fun of poking around in a new race of beings that her realm knew nothing of. Sure, her specialty was machines, but this was still something that was very exciting. She nodded to Grim's remarks on the whole thing about them both not being of this world. It would be interesting to see how things would turn out. As Felix returned, she caught her C-Disk and smiled at him. "I'll see what I feel like doing at the end of the day. Don't expect much though." She answered, sticking her tongue out at him. She moved to the back of the couch and leaned on it with her elbows. She held the disk flat in her palm and pressed the center.

It began to hover and then spin, projecting a screen. It was like a mini-computer, though it was probably much more advanced than most computers in this realm, if not all. With the screen up, Kotomi tapped a few sections and writing appeared. Grim would only see symbols and gibberish. But it was the Dragon Realm's unified language that was actually invented by humans. She analyzed what things she could and recorded them. Most of the things were the normal waves that any mind with a stable mental barrier would emit and receive.

It actually made things very easy for her and even easier to find out what was uncanny. She was tempted to dig deeper and see the inner workings of the being known as a Moonian, but Felix's well timed warning made her stop. "Don't ruin my fun!" She yelled to Felix, sticking her tongue out at him. Once everything was recorded, Kotomi stopped the disk from spinning and held it between her thumb and index finger with the flat side facing her. She then leaned over the couch, lowering herself close to Grim with a smile. "Wakey wakey now, I'm all done Grimmy!" She said, poking his cheek. "With waves like these we can pretty much track the source very easily."

"He sure trusts you. Don't be surprised if you open your eyes and you'd lacking in clothing."

(Oh yeah. Sooo ignoring Felix now. He was like the buzzing of flies at the moment. Or should've been. There was no way he was letting himself get distracted now, except... Except by himself. Grim wasn't asleep. He was bothered by the more important things. His progress in this world... It was so slow. It was like he'd been standing still, and only AFTER doing something that was almost random did he feel much fulfillment. Why was it that he could do nothing on his own?)

Grim: Because you're a runt, Vaughn Heavenclaw, a weak pathetic thing at the low end of our gene pool.

(He was so busy lying still and just thinking - getting so engrossed IN the thoughts as they came by - that he didn't notice how quickly or by what method Kotami was doing all of this. His next sensation was a poke on his cheek, causing his eyes to shoot open.)

"Wakey wakey now, I'm all done Grimmy!"

(He was surprised. Was it that quick or had he dozed off? Grim stood up off the couch and picked up his scythe as Kotami explained the results.)

"With waves like these we can pretty much track the source very easily."

Grim: Y-you can?!

(That got his attention, big-time. Grim looked anxious all of a sudden, almost delighted. Dare we say he even looked hopeful about it? Forgetting that Felix would naturally make fun of him now, he started talking up a storm.)

Grim: Well, quick! Let's get started! Where does the trail lead? How does this thing work anyway?

(Damn, but he wanted to move! A funny thing, though. Well, as the C-Disk had picked up two distinct dreamwave patterns, there were naturally two patterns to follow that were eerily similar. One of them was actually upstairs...)

OOC: A short post, but to the point. I couldn't think of anything special to put into it.

Felix looked on as Kotomi checked on Grim. He smirked a bit as a few thoughts played through his mind, but let them be. Knowing how Kotomi was, they'd be tracking the source soon, though how far, he did not know. But he wasn't really a part of the whole thing. In this situation, his presence was a dependent one. He was here only because Kotomi was here and because he was Kotomi's personal guardian. Even aside from the fact that they were best friends, Felix would have to be around when some stranger came looking specifically for her. Once everything was done and Kotomi said that tracking the waves would be a breeze, Felix smiled and stood up, walking back over to the girl.

"You make it sound like you already know how everything is going to work out...smug if you will. That's no fun for the rest of us girl." He said, chuckling a bit and peering over the girl's shoulder to look at the device. And as Grim spoke Felix looked to him and shook his head. "Eager for this girl huh? Where you two fuck buddies or actually dating, 'cause you sound like a guy searching for his pregnant woman." Felix said jokingly. The boy had responded to just about every joke Felix had set up, why would he stop now?

(ooc) So sorry for the long wait. Between school and a work crisis, I haven't been able to get online. And while things aren't completely settled, I have been able to post now and will continue to do so as to not hold up your storyline.

Kotomi smiled at Grim's response. The usually hardened boy showed excitement and eagerness and those were the things that boys needed. And then she glared at Felix, sticking her tongue out at him. "I could care less. I'm selfish and as long as it's fun for me, you can fall in a ditch and die." She said to him, as she turned away from Felix and to Grim.

"Well, since I'm getting something really odd from upstairs, how about we start there. Though I hope this fun won't end that soon." She said, pausing for a moment before taking the time to kick Felix. "Stop being a rude asshole. No more teasing! Got that?" Kotomi yelled, walking to the door of the dorm and heading out into the hall. "You want to lead, I can just give you directions if need be."

(This is probably as joyful as you'll ever see Grim for a while, folks, because this was just something that had been weighing on him heavily for a while. He'll probably return to his usual stoic self once this business is safely out of the freakin' way. Of course, speaking of things in the way, Felix again had to spout his two cents. Or was it his two yen? Hard to keep track in this day and age, what with the economy flip-flopping all over the place. But in this case, Grim decided to handle this a little differently, looking out of the corner of his eye at Felix.)

Grim: Are you still here? There's no need for you anymore, since I can more-than-adequately protect Kotami...as she well-knows from the time we first met.

(That would be during the event that led up to this issue, where he demonstrated not only his fighting prowess, but his ingenuity at getting through David Davidson's bizarre defenses by way of a Falcon Punch. This wasn't to say that Grim was making a play for Kotami or something. He was simply deciding that turnabout was fairplay and that the shoe should spend some time on the other foot. Grim wasn't without a sense of humor. You just have to understand that he didn't find people like Felix to be funny. Therefore, he had to get in one of his own at some point. He picked up his scythe now, curious about Kotami's take on the readings. Grim nodded at this.)

Grim: I doubt she's just been hold up in AHS and she didn't tell anyone, but sure. Give me directions and I'll head up first.

(And thus, he would do so, moving thine plot along.)

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

(Top floor, just below the roof. Some people are forced to take the highest floor. Others actually enjoy it. In this case, it merely became practical for her that she take this. For one who flies, an accessable roof is the obvious first choice. Of course, you don't come to a place like this because you want to, sometimes. You come because you have to. Immeasuable amounts of abominable being translated into a humanoid form, kept stable by a spell of transformation to wait to slowly heal again. Even still, she was in such a rut. If she could get a stable portal running, she would be better suited back among her own kind, in a better environment. That is how things are, at times. What she really needed...was to find her spellbook, the source of great power separated from her when that demon lashed out. That demon... As she lay upon that human bed, it was hard not to think about that confrontation. A strange ancient creature, filled with a dark power that she'd never encountered... Facinating, yet...one monumental blast later, she was human-bound, effectively. What you basically have here, on the surface of things, is a girl with silver hair and red eyes, wearing a dark battle-dress and posessing about eight wings on her body...which are currently in their shrunken non-flight state. She had red markings on her arms, legs, and face, and seemed to betray no emotion on her face most of the time. It was at this time that she heard, out in the hallway, a voice.)

Grim: It's this way, right?

(Though awake in the darkness of her room, you could say that she was at rest. Now, hearing this voice, she considered getting up. For you see...she knew that voice. It belonged to...well...I suppose you call him a friend. An interesting warrior from another world, who favored the scythe...as she did. If that was indeed who she thought it was, then this would be intriguing... Of course, Hayate would not know how much so it would be by the end of this night, considering that Grim was led right to her freaking door now.)

OOC: Just wanted to move things along, since we had a bit of a stall.

Felix looked at the boy and smiled. He shook his head and pointed over at Kotomi. "This woman here is a freeloader. This is my dorm room after all and I'm just letting her stay here because it is easier on the both of us and it's nice to have a warm female to sleep next to you." He then shrugged and decided to get around to the real reasoning. "And besides, as Kotomi's guardian, I have to stick around. She's here for a reason after all and I'm sure you've witness why she needs protection." He said, referring back to the little venture that Grim and Kotomi had together.

He may have not been there, but he definitely new all about it. It was his job and Kotomi wanted to warn him about the coming visit from a certain Time Dragoon. Whoever, once things started to me, Felix decided it was finally time to stop teasing...for now. As Grim started to move, Felix followed, knowing that Kotomi would soon be behind them. After all, she had the exact position of whomever their target was and as the shield, Felix was fine with going ahead of her. And then, after ascending the stairs and reaching the next floor, he watched Grim go as he waited for Kotomi.

Kotomi glanced between the two boys and smirked. "Now now, you two need to get along. Or else mommy while have to hand out spankings." She said with a laughing, meaning to tease Felix more than Grim. And then, once the directions were given to the enthusiastic boy, he dashed out with Felix right behind him. Taking her device with her, Kotomi followed, moving to the stairwell and moving up to the next floor. There, Felix was waiting for her with Grim already down the hallway.

Nodding to Felix with a smile, she went forward ahead of him to catch up with Grim while he was at the door of the destined place. "Right on the spot Grimmy. I hope you find what you are looking for here." She said in a metaphorical sense. It would be too easy if he had found her right away, but there should be clues here. And if there weren't, there would at least be something of interest around. Kotomi was just as eager to see what laid beyond the door, even if it was for a completely different reason.

Grim was more or less traveling on a hope that was sort of making him less grim and stable, you could say. It was the sort of bling naive hope that things might work out somehow, given the nature of the situation. He would probably be crushed if something in this case didn't give soon. Heaven knows he already has enough pressures in life. He just wanted THIS ONE to let up for once. Heading for the door, he took Felix's quip in stride and...blinked. Was it now kind of scary that he was beginning to make sense? Hmmm. Maybe Felix could let up as well and stop being an ass. Stranger things have happened. Grim actually laughed at Kotami's mock-scolding.)

"Right on the spot, Grimmy. I hope you find what you are looking for here."

Grim: Right.

(Behind that door was probably not Sara, but it was something, something that had intersected his mind on similar levels to her. Grim didn't even understand how she did it, but it was something supernatural in of itself...which may have been why Sara was allowed into the BPRD. His hand wavered before the door. Probably locked, so he knocked. Inside, he heard movement, footsteps, and then the doorknob working. The room was dark, the light having been switched off, but he could see in their fine and...Grim's eyes widened as he took a step back.)

Grim: It's you...

(The girl with the silver hair and red eyes stepped out of the black to stand in the doorway. Felix and Kotami would likely have been unaware of Hayate in this building, or that she and Grim had actually met before. She preferred to keep to herself, and only come out when necessary, like to train... Looking at Grim, Hayate's eyes went from him to the others and back again without much change in expression.)

Hayate: This is unexpected..."Grimmy"?

(She raised an eyebrow now, and while there was not a smile upon her face, you could tell that she was slightly amused by what she heard from the hall. Grim facepalmed for a second.)

Grim: Please don't call me that.

Hayate: Very well. What do you want?

Grim: Yeah... Remember that I told you about Sara?

Hayate: Still looking, I see.

(Her memory for the day was flawless, as if it had been yesterday. It was actually some months back at least. He'd lost track in all this fervor. Not that it mattered. If she was alive...)

Hayate: You won't like what you find.

Grim: What?

Hayate: You suggested that she was similar to me, a spawn of my father's that I'd been unaware of. If she has been out of human sight this long, you will find that she has changed...alot.

Grim: How much?

(She crossed her arms now, giving him a look with eyes that seemed to grow more inhuman the more you look at them. It was uncertain as to whether she was trying to be unnerving or informative. Or both.)

Hayate: If I had my strength back right now, I could step on this building.

(Then, a sudden glare at Felix and Kotami.)

Hayate: Oh, and would you two explain yourselves? I don't know you and would prefer to know your business in this.

Following behind Kotomi as she made her way to the door Grim was stationed at, Felix took a nonchalant look. Basically now, he was stuck with watching and observing. He wasn't expecting anything too exciting to happen. At most, he'd get to see a warm reunion or something boring like that and he wasn't really looking forward to it. And so, he stood behind Kotomi, like a tiring statue that was protecting her from the sun with its shade. A poetic simile, but not one that needed that much reading into. And then, as the door opened, Felix laid his eyes on one of the many jewels this world had.

As a playboy and a pervert, Felix was the type to find the beauty in all kinds of women. Some would think that he and tastes, but Felix was a man that enjoy all the flavors he was offered. A grin grew on his face as he watched the conversation between the two. It was obvious that they knew each other and also obvious that his girl wasn't normal. Why? Well, if some random guy came knocking at your door, a very different conversation would have been granted. And even if they did know each other and had not been in contact for some time, a normal-esque girl's reaction would have been different. With all the women Felix had dipped into, he had enough experience to read the situation without any real obvious clues.

However, before any confirmations could be made, the girl had asked the purpose of Felix and Kotomi's presence. Felix's grin turned to a soft smile and he shrugged. "No reason in particular really. I'm here to make sure this boy doesn't run off with my little princess here. Though the chance to meet a unique and coldly inviting female has given this trip much more value. Wouldn't you agree Tomi-chan?" He said, looking down at Kotomi.

As Felix walked up behind her, she leaned back on him a bit. It was a sort of instinct of her when he was around and wasn't something she thought much of. The fact that they sleep in the same bed and were so comfortable around each other and even knew each other inside in out could easily make some one be confused on their relationship. They were best friends, but they were so close that they were only a poke away from lovers. Why weren't they? Well, Felix was a playboy and Kotomi had to interest in a relationship. It was as simple as that and it kept them being childhood friends that became best friends, not lovers.

However, since her attention wasn't on her action, it meant it was somewhere else. And that place was on Grim and the source of the strange waves. Interestingly enough, it was a girl and she knew Grim. And upon asking their purpose, Felix seemed to be able to pick up an answer faster than Kotomi could. She quickly jab him in the rib in an attempt to tone down his playboy actions and spoke for herself. "I'm Grimmy's guiding light. I led him to you and I'll eventually lead him to the one he's searching for. That guy behind me is an unimportant nobody; just pretend that he's not even here okay?"

(For openers, Felix was hitting on the wrong girl here. It wasn't his fault, per se. It's just that she was not human and not the type of person to see value in human perverts and smooth-talkers. Wait, did ANYONE see value in...? Nevermind. The point is, Hayate's eyes narrowed in an unfriendly manner when he started talking about this and that, and not being more direct in his answer. She started paying more attention to Kotami almost immediately, taking heed of her advice to ignore him.)

Hayate: Done, then. And...interesting. You're intent on finding her, no matter what.

Grim: Is that wrong?

Hayate: No, just...unwise. I have told you what you would most likely be facing. Whatever you find will not be Sara. It will be the spawn of a Great Old One, the appearance of which is more than the human mind can stand.

Grim: That's fine. I'm not human.

Hayate: Grim, you are not taking this seriously.

Grim: Hayate, you're a spawn of one of these Old One things, and you're completely rational with me. It shouldn't be as hard with half a one.

(This got her attention, thinking for a moment. However, Hayate didn't fully-believe that it was just that easy. Maybe he had a chance, but she knew the way of the beings that he would be trailing after. Not just Sara, if it was still thinking of herself that way unconsciously. There would be her and probably followers... It was how these things worked. Hayate shook her head.)

Hayate: If you go there, the worshippers will be there as well. Do they understand what they're getting into? You'll be offered up in pieces...

Grim: You could come with us.

(NOW, she gave him a more pointed stare with her cold red eyes.)

Hayate: I don't harm my own kind, Grim.

(This wasn't going very well. But she was right. If Sara was there and she had followers, then you couldn't expect Hayate to lash out at them for being more or less her own kin. There were loyalties of a sort in the den of the Old Ones, indeed.)

Felix took the jab and smiled, looking down at Kotomi. "I'm sorry love, we still playin' hubby and wifey?" He said with a laugh. "Okay, I'll be good. After all, you are the only one for my Tomi-chan." He said, teasing the girl that was taking cover in his shadow. "Though, being an unimportant hubby makes me wonder who's cheating on who love."

He continued, while still keeping an ear on the conversation between Grim and the girl. It seemed like the person Grim was looking for had undergone some kind of change and it wasn't something the boy would be able to handle. In fact, it was supposed to be something no human could handle. Felix simply smirked and listened on until the conversation took its pause.

"No worries babe, Grim boy here has his help." Felix said with a smile. "Be as vast and knowledgeable as you want, but I can already tell this guy is brave. I mean, no willing person would lend himself to the mercy of this woman's inventions..."

He started, point down at Kotomi, "He is either insane would incredibly brave and I believe it's the latter. And before you give me non-sense about how bravery accounts for nothing, I should tell you that emotions themselves can be pretty power for even the most insignificant person, even if it's just a blast to the ass." Felix said, once again references what he heard from Grim and Kotomi's adventure into the underground place. "That and he'll have help, whether he wants it or not and I'm no push over."

Kotomi looked up at Felix and smirked. "Damn straight. So all eyes on me boy." She said, sticking her tongue out at him. "And stop calling me that okay? At least not in front of Grimmy and his friend. And with all the attention from females that you attract, I should be the one worrying." She added, giggling a bit before she looked back at Grim and the girl to hear the rest of their conversation. She left Felix speak uninterrupted since what he was saying actually had value and wasn't just nonsense like before.

And as he finished, Kotomi just nodded and then spoke. "That's right...wait, no..." She said, making a quick stomp on to Felix's foot. "But it is true that Grimmy won't be going alone. I refuse to miss the chance to see what kind of person that he is searching for is. With the unidentified waves entering and leaving his mind, I'm curious to know what would create such a thing. And as a person of science, there is very little that I won't be able to take. And my hubby here is more reliable than he acts.....sometimes."

(Remember, Hayate was taking Kotami's advice and not listening to Felix's more raunchy comments, or in fact much of what he was saying at all. However, she was just slightly annoyed that they were not taking her in enough seriousness about this. It wasn't often that she bothered to warn anyone as insignificant as a human being to the disasters of one of her own kind, or another Old One, or in fact anything. In this case, though, she did so because of Grim. An acquaintance of hers, definitely one in which she has a connection to, but not necessarily an important one.)

"He is either insane would incredibly brave and I believe it's the latter. And before you give me non-sense about how bravery accounts for nothing, I should tell you that emotions themselves can be pretty power for even the most insignificant person, even if it's just a blast to the ass."

Hayate: I didn't say anything like that, so you should probably stop speaking now.

Grim: Just because the human's a blowhard is no reason to knock him.

Hayate: You don't think so?

Grim: Well...maybe.

(Still, the entire thing seemed wrong to Hayate. It was probably idiotic to go in a case like that. They would've been better off waiting for her mind to somehow return to normal on its own, if ever at all, than risk everything on this occasion. What was their rush, exactly? Kotami, for instance... She seemed to be strangely attached to this whole thing now, and for what? Curiosity? That sort of thing wasn't worth your head exploding. But Kotami's actual comment seemed to irk Hayate now, so she gave the girl a solid red-eye glare.)

Hayate: Bravery is one thing, but I know curiosity kills. Not just cats. Anyone. And if she's anything like me, death could take hours, even after being mashed into a pulp. So be it.

(She turned and closed the door with an oppressive thump. That was...not so much as cold as...creepy, the way she said that. Words from experience, one might say. Grim watched the door for a second, then turned to the others.)

Grim: My mind's made up. I know it's insane. I don't care anymore...

OOC: Incidentally, I'm gonna have the next thread in Outskirts of Tokyo. Should I pick up there now or what?
