Sorry, I can't come to the phone right now. Leave a message at the beep, thank you.

[A scowl.] You know what I mean. [She looks back at her phone, flipping through her music. She needs a distraction. She probably sounds like an idiot to him.]

It could be worse. I could've been found by ayakashi. Or stuck with a god who got rid of me after I blighted him. Or with somebody who didn't care if I got destroyed. You let me sleep on your couch and everything. I have it good here.

[fullcowl]

[She doesn't, but it's still kind of a strange thing to say to a person.]

... I'm glad if you're happy working with me.

[blindfoldcode]

Besides. [She flashes him her phone background. It's the maid picture.] It's not every god that looks this good in a maid costume.

[fullcowl]

[He'd already been warned about it by Shouto, but. Man. His face is still red and he's still trying to wrap his arms around his face to try to hide it away.

Not that it's at all effective.]

Did you have to take that?

[blindfoldcode]

[She holds back a chuckle. But it's so hard.] You looked good, boss, really. You were working so hard... it was cute.

[fullcowl]

[Why are you doing this to him.]

I don't look good in a dress. You and Shouto looked way better.

[blindfoldcode]

I won't deny that Shouto looked good. But I don't know. You were really sincere about it. You blew me out of the water.

Besides, [She unlocks her phone and shows him the snapshot she has of Shouto, too.] I have both of you. Mm... [She settles into the spot on the couch, burying her face in the turtleneck of her pullover.] I don't have a family or any memories. I just have the two of you. It's building new memories. Right?

[fullcowl]

The faster we got the flyers out the faster we could change back into our normal clothes.

[He smiles at those words.]

... Yeah, that's true. Did you want the group shot too?

[blindfoldcode]

No, I don't need to remember that. [Being dressed up like a butler.] It was so embarrassing.

[There were giggles. There were a few people who were scared of her. She made a friend but like that was the only good thing that happened.]

[fullcowl]

Sorry, Kido. I wasn't expecting something like that.

[If he had known... he probably would have still taken the prayer, but he wouldn't have brought his poor long suffering shinki along.]

[blindfoldcode]

It's fine. You need to help people, after all. [She's just blushing as red as her pullover.]

... It wasn't that bad.

[fullcowl]

Yeah, but you don't need to be embarrassed like that.

[blindfoldcode]

[She tosses a couch pillow in his general direction in frustration.] I said it wasn't that bad. Stop it.

[fullcowl]

[He takes it. Straight to the face.]

[blindfoldcode]

Stop blaming yourself for stuff. I just told you, I'm happy here. And even if it was embarrassing, do you think I would've let you take a picture of me if it was that bad? Or saved pictures of you guys?

It was a dumb prayer. But when I was with you guys and Hajime and Roxas and the others... it was fun, okay?

[She hates being sincere but there you go Deku.]

[fullcowl]

[He puts the pillow on his lap, but there's a wobbly little smile on his face.

Kido had fun- he's so glad. What a dweeb.]

Okay.
