[Open] I'm standing on the outside

[papillonmagique]

Who: Zoe Gallais and OPEN
Where: Aquarius district, Tuesday night
Summary: Zoe thinks it's time to awaken her Persona. So wandering out during the 13th Hour on her own is clearly the best plan.
Warnings: Demon fightings, persona awakenings and bratty mage alert.


[Zoe had only been here for a couple of days, but she is the impatient type. And she had watched how the 13th hour occurred and she knows how to fight and she has her lance with her, so it wasn't like she was going in completely unprepared.

She may have overestimated herself, however, especially when she came across a group of these monsters, and she was stuck using her lance to push them back more than attacking. But she had to keep trying, she had to- ]

- Come on! [And then her Persona appears in a flash of light above her, and takes care of some of the monsters with a few Kouha's. Zoe just stares at the sparkly rainbow butterfly for a moment.]

P-Petit Arc-en-ciel! So that's where you were! ... In my head. [Blink. And then she shrugs, shifting into a battle stance again. There is still a large group of monsters left, so she's starting to regret going out on her own now...]

You're kind, like I said.

[papillonmagique]

[She blinks up at him, before looking down at the ground with a smile.] And so are you, Judas.

[silvercoins]

Are we going to your home, or mine first?

[papillonmagique]

Hmm? Wouldn't you prefer to go straight home?

[silvercoins]

Gentlemen walk ladies home, if that's so.

[papillonmagique]

You do realize if you do that, I will have to invite you in for tea or something along those lines.

[silvercoins]

I do like tea.

[papillonmagique]

Any kind in particular you prefer?

[silvercoins]

Green.

[papillonmagique]

Then I shall make you some of that.

... There is also something I wish to discuss, but we can wait until we get to my apartment.

[silvercoins]

Alright. Thank you, Zoe.

[papillonmagique]

[To her apartment they go! And yes, she does give him green tea when they get there.]

Here you go. It's been a while since I made tea for anyone else, so it may not be up to scratch just yet.

[silvercoins]

I'm certain that it's amazing.

[papillonmagique]

[She shifts in faint embarrassment, before she brings up her usual confident look.] Well, I do tend to be pretty good at making tea, but I'll let you be the judge of that.

[Though she is actually pretty good. All those lessons from her mother and stuff.]

[silvercoins]

[Sip. Sip.] It seems that I was right.

[papillonmagique]

[Zoe smiles brightly at him.] Thank you, I'm glad to know that I am still good at this!

[Though then she looks a bit nervous.] ... And about what I wanted to discuss... Judas, do you like living on your own?

[silvercoins]

...No, not really. I'm used to living with Peter and Andrew, or before that, traveling with the other disciples.

[papillonmagique]

I see... Would you want to live with anyone here?

[silvercoins]

If they were willing to look after me...

[papillonmagique]

Well, that's... [Pause. Ugh, this is hard, why is this so hard-]

... And do you... Mind my company, Judas?

[silvercoins]

You've been very good to me. I don't mind.

[papillonmagique]

Then would you want to... What I'm trying to say is... [She huffs with a pout, before rubbing at her forehead.]

Well, I... Check in to make sure you eat anyway, so wouldn't it be more convenient if we... shared the same apartment?

[silvercoins]

Well... Are you sure you could put up with me?

[It doesn't seem likely.]

[papillonmagique]

If I wasn't sure, I wouldn't have said... And I was telling the truth when I said I enjoy your company.

[silvercoins]

Then, I'd like that. Please.
