Topic: To Cross That Line (Namari x Missylooni)

[Namari]

Yori nods slowly, " okay... well, i hope it works out."

Izanagi hums, " this is so fucking cute. i gotta text her to thank her for it." He pulls out his phone, this coat is freaking adorable i love it! he quickly puts it on to try it out, twirling around to show it off.

[MissyLooni]

Takana nods, "I'm doing my best and trying to take it slower just to make sure. I'm gonna be fine. I'm just glad I'm back here. I won't be at the cafe until my face clears up so you and I can hang out too- oh!" He looks at nikiri, worried, "will we need.... collars?"

Nikiri looks at takana and frowns, "hmm... I'm not entirely sure. On one hand you're living here as a citizen and technically you both are demons but on the other hand you are also... human and I'd rather not piss off your father anymore than necessary if he finds out you two are here with collars. Thankfully we just had our inspection last week so arakan has some time to get something together if need be. I'm sure he's already working on some form of paperwork for it but who is to say. These are odd times. At any rate, yori and I should get going. Sun is setting and if we have an agitated... creature of the night I'd rather not be out and about. Yori. Let's go."

[Namari]

Izanagi shrugs, " i have no idea if you guys will need collars or not. i guess if you leave the district during inspections you'll be fine without?"

Yori blinks and nods, " right, okay. lets go." he follows

[MissyLooni]

Takana waves goodbye to yori, "have a good night!"

Nikiri leads yori back to his place

Takana looks at izanagi, "I guess. Would that make some of the demons here suspicious though? I'm fine wearing a collar, fake or real, if it helps keep the other demons that live here at ease or something."

[Namari]

Yori waves as he leaves.

Izanagi shrugs, " i dunno. guess that's up to Arakan to figure out?"

[MissyLooni]

Takana nods, "Yeah I'm sure it's already crossed his mind." He looks at izanagi, "that coat IS super cute."

[Namari]

Izanagi shrugs then grins, " i know right? so fucking cute." he twirls again.

Yori sticks close to Nikiri as they head to his house, setting some of the bags down to give himself a break when they get inside, " chilly out there. brrr."

[MissyLooni]

Nikiri closes the door behind him and sighs, "at least it's warm inside-"

Imogen runs down the stairs of their home, stopping a few feet away from yori. She smoothes out her shirt before giving yori a bow, "it is a pleasure to meet you yori! Welcome to my home! It is so exciting to have a human with us!" She straightens up and gives a big smile.

Nikiri yelps and almost drops what he was holding, "m-mother what on earth are you doing? You shouldn't run, especially down the stairs like that! What would korri say?!"

Imogen pants softly, her cheeks slightly dusty pink, "she'd raise an eyebrow, ask if I got it out of my system and then help me to a chair to sit... but I'm fine! We have a human! Oh I'm so excited!"

[Namari]

Yori's eyes widen, " oh um, hi? yes, that's me. or, at least half... not really sure what i am now... but im here?"

[MissyLooni]

She holds her hand out for yori to take, "please let me show you to your room and then the rest of the-"

Nikiri huffs, "mom please rest for a moment. His room is next to mine so I can show him that at least. If he wants a full downstairs tour we can come back down after you've rested."

Imogen hesitates, frowning, "but i... I'm just trying to be a good host. It's been so long since I've been able to..." Her voice trails off and for a brief moment her eyelids flutter before she stumbles back.

Nikiri shrieks and sets the bags down quickly before moving behind his mother and catching her, "see! I told you that you had to rest."
He helps her to a nearby chair and gets her sitting upright.

Imogen groggily rubs her temples and sighs, "I'm sorry... It was just a little dizzy spell."

Nikiri sighs, "just rest for a moment. Take some medicine."

Imogen blinks, "oh right! That's what I forgot! I ran out."

Nikiri frowns, "oh dear. Well I should call korri for some more. When did you run out?"

"Yesterday."

Nikiri damn near shrieks, "mother!! You have to be better about taking the medicine!"

"I'm sorry to worry you. I thought I would be fine since your father left. I was kinda hoping he was the source of my problems." She giggles softly.

Nikiri grumbles and stands up, "you rest. I'll show yori the upstairs and while he gets settled I'm making a phone call to korri."
He looks at yori, "I'm so sorry." He picks up the items he sat down, "follow me please." He heads up the stairs

[Namari]

Yori watches with wide eyes and concern, " a-are you okay ma'am?" he watches and shakes his head, " you take care of her first, i can wait. really im okay."

[MissyLooni]

Imogen gives yori a weak smile, "I'm fine really. Just a little anemia. Please make yourself at home."

[Namari]

Yori looks at Nikiri, " alright, fine then take me to my room quick so you can get back to her. im so sorry, i knew i was going to be a bother..."

[MissyLooni]

Nikiri quickly leads yori to his room and sets down the luggage before turning to yori and huffing, "oi. You're not a bother. Cuz if you're a bother then so are my younger sisters and I know they are not bothers. You may see her stumble, slur her words, catch her sleeping in weird spots, and faint. All of these are due to her condition AND from not keeping up on her medicine."

Nikiri gently takes yori's chin and lifts his head so he can look right at him, "you're not automatically at fault for others actions. Understand?"

[Namari]

Yori is about to protest when suddenly his chin is lifted, " I...fine, but only so you stop wasting time on me and go take care of her. You said you were gonna call that Korri person?"
