[satanslash]

You thought I was Shiho at first...

[Which he understands.]

You've been actin' like it didn't bother you, but it's pretty obvious how much it is.

[queenofminiskirts]

[She considers that for a moment, before she flops over and buries her head in the pillow, because that's embarrassing.

She could lie and say she's fine. It's what she wants to do--it's what she's been doing but...the cat's out of the bag now, isn't it?]

...sorry.

[satanslash]

Why are you apologizin'? We're allowed to be upset about people leavin'. That's what everyone said to me when Kohaku was sent back.

[queenofminiskirts]

[She's quiet for a moment, but then she lets go of him to lean back so she can see him properly.]

...I'm just worried about her being home without me.

[satanslash]

Shiho? [He gives a snort.]

I'd be more afraid of anyone who tries to give her shit without you there.

[queenofminiskirts]

[That makes her smile at least.]

Yeah. Shiho's pretty terrifying.

[But then she sobers up.] Do you remember when Shiho and me went home for a few days?

[satanslash]

Yeah, 'course I do. It was way too quiet around here.

[Teasing a little.]

[queenofminiskirts]

[She smiles at his teasing a little. And she's still smiling, albeit a bit awkwardly as she continues.]

Well...a lot of things happened while I was back home and I've sort of...become the leader of an international criminal organization. [Pause.] But only temporarily!

[satanslash]

... you what.

[Kaoru.

Kaoru what the fuck.]

[queenofminiskirts]

I'm currently the leader of Pandra, temporarily.

...I may have also declared my intention to fight Black Phantom on an illegally hijacked international broadcast while Black Phantom has control over Babel and probably most of the world governments.

My face was censored out though! [So don't worry!]

[satanslash]

Jesus fuck, Kaoru...

[But.

He laughs. It's worrying, but also fairly ridiculous that she would get caught up in something like that.

At least she was alright.]

I wouldn't worry about Shiho too much, even with that. You know she's tough.

[queenofminiskirts]

[Well, at least he's laughing. That makes her feel better.]

Yeah. And she'll have Aoi there too. They'll have each other's back.

[satanslash]

[It's ridiculous, but weirdly amusing in that.]

And hey, maybe we'll see her again. People do come back sometimes.

[queenofminiskirts]

Maybe.

[She leans against him again.]

Thanks for listening.

[satanslash]

You'd do the same for me.

[A loud yawn.]

Imma go back to sleep. You can stay if you want.

[queenofminiskirts]

[With anyone else, at any other time and she'd make a joke about him sleeping with a girl and imply that he may have untoward intentions.

But right now, she just snuggles back down on the bed.]

It's like a sleep over,

[satanslash]

[She knows him well enough by now. He panicked over having to kiss someone without their consent! He's not going to do anything to Kaoru.]

I still dunno what those are supposed to really be like, but I'll take your word for it.

[queenofminiskirts]

You should. You know I'm always right.

[satanslash]

Mmm... are you really though?

[Sleepy teasing.]

[queenofminiskirts]

Of course! How-- [A big yawn.] How dare you doubt me.

[satanslash]

Mm. Just a little doubt. Little...

[Now he's doing it.

Time to fall asleep.]

[queenofminiskirts]

's not allowed.

[She snuggled up against him happily like a big cat making herself comfortable.]

[satanslash]

[Whatever was said next, it was lost in a sleepy mumble. He's all but back out again, sleeping comfortable even with having his bed invaded.]
