[ at least satariel in the courtyard seems more professional, if still friendly, compared to... well. y'know. ]
Hello there, Mr. Kaburagi! Sorry that we weren't the ones to greet you, but if you'd like to talk, I'm more than happy to. [ their daemon squeaks in greeting by their feet. ]
[ yomiel is seated at the edge of the stage in the opera house, legs hanging off the side. their daemon perches on a chair nearby, watching kotetsu intently. ]
Before all that, I wanted to make sure you were doing fine. I know there are some people out here with tempers and wanted to make sure you're doing okay after coming out yesterday. All of you.
[ baraqiel will come to meet kotetsu long after he's spoken to suriel and shamsiel, wherever he is, their daemon absent at the moment. it seems uncanny, and can be off-putting, but they seem fine rather than fazed. ]
I'm sure all of you have questions right now. But the thanks aren't necessary, for something simple like food.
[ of course he knows. of course they probably all know. they're watchers, aren't they? and the fact that he picked this location, it makes him make a face and finley seems a little prickly in her tiger form. ]
as the solar door opens, kotetsu will be greeted to a very differentsight that the rest of the castle. while it doesn't look like an entirely different place, it will look a lot nicer than anywhere else that he has been around the city. notably, if he goes further in and can catch sight of some familiar faces. or... not.
there is a sudden gust and a flurry of dark wings of stardust that would distract him long enough for the three who are inside to make themselves proper. or otherwise known as, hello! presenting to you, baraqiel, suriel, and shamsiel experiencing a new kind of stress(?) ]
I wasn't really thinking clearly at the time, but... I can't do it.
[ he rubs his neck, frowning. ]
I know you guys are watching us and all, but I don't like the idea of using someone else's secrets for my own. Especially something so important to them.
I wouldn't have offered if I wasn't serious about it. I figured since we talked about my family and things, you might want to get to see them first hand.
[ baraqiel, actually, probably shouldn't be up and about. their cloak has been repaired, but they don't bother with the galaxy-strewn undercloak when they find kotetsu. he's already seen them in half-uniform before, anyways.
their clothes are a little different underneath, things he'll recognize from around otamo, but here they are. let's find somewhere to sit down. ]
[ shamsiel will be sitting on of the couches in the great salon waiting for him to show up. they'll have their broken arm bandaged up neatly and look better than they did earlier. ]
[ the following day from the request, baraqiel will come to meet kotetsu in hte morning, long before the mini-event shenanigans. his daemon is eagle-formed on his shoulder, feathers fluffed against the cold. ]
You can count whatever fiasco that they're subjecting you to today as one of your follow-up tasks. The restoration of your leg will be fairly instant when it happens, since we stacked this, so try not to move much or you'll fall on your ass.
[ baraqiel's daemon will lead kotetsu and finley to the belltower, actually, though not so far as to go inside the rooms that are beyond it. it's a quiet moment of sanctuary for what will likely be a serious conversation between kotetsu and the celestials ahead of his bearer duties. ]
I already spoke to the Temporals about this idea, but I wanted to see what your thoughts on this would be.
[ he takes in a breath to even himself. ]
What do you think of the idea of me trying to break the barrier at the next execution? I realize there are a lot of risks involved. And all of you, and my role, would possibly be in danger.

Hello nya.
You want to know more about what's going on? Isn't that what everyone wants to know?
no subject
I'm sure, but I wanted to see if you could talk about more than the others we met.

It's fine. I'm sure you guys had your reasons.

The food isn't something that simple, considering we had a long day.
