[ greetings rin, you'll find shamsiel in the kitchen with an apple in their hand. a very much so not rotting apple! it looks perfectly fresh and ripe. ]

You have a question about the coin?

[ suriel will find rin in the courtyard, fennec fox in their arms. it yips a greeting! ]

Hey, Mister Okumura! It's nice to officially meet you!

[aono]

Yeah! What's up with it?

[He's looking at that apple. Fresh fooooood]

It's got like...a symbol on it.

[aono]

[What a cute fox

Rin is smiling at it, but he learned his lesson before so no touchy.]

Nice to meet you too. So you live here?

[grigori]

I guess we do, for now. But we're from other worlds too, if that's what you mean.

[grigori]

They represent what side you're on—the comet means that you're a Celestial. It means that I'll be working with you.

[ she'll hold out the apple to rin. ]

[aono]

That's still wild to think about. What's your world like? Did you have daemons there?

[aono]

I gotta admit, I wasn't expecting that.

[He'll take the apple though. If only he had a knife to cut it with.]

You really don't mind working with a demon?

[grigori]

[ yeah if only. don't look at shamsiel that expectantly, they don't have one either. ]

Someone called me a demon earlier, so if you're a demon and I'm a demon, then doesn't that make it okay?

However, even if I wasn't a demon then I don't see why I would mind.

[aono]

Who called you a demon?

[I saw that thread, it's going to be funny when he finds out Yukio did it.]

Well...demons aren't exactly 'celestial'.

[grigori]

Nope! [ the pop the P! ] It's a whole new thing to me. Kind of weird, but it's like they've always been there, huh?

[ they give the fox a fond look before gently setting them on the ground to dart around like the little maniac that only a fennec fox can be. ]

Though you guys haven't shown me a whole lot that I haven't seen yet.

[ baraqiel is lounging in the courtyard at the moment, beneath some sparse shade, something that glints in the light almost like a coin rolling across their knuckles. the angle that they're at lets rin see their wings, though not much else. ]

Come to insult the coins, next, or what?

[ their daemon is nowhere to be seen. rin may actually find this a little offputting, like someone without a limb. ]

[grigori]

He never quite introduced himself, but I believe his name was Yukio.

[ they may or may know everyone's name due to being an npc it's fine. they also know he's rin's brother but not entirely sure of their relationship? ]

[aono]

[Rin looks down at his own cat.]

I...guess? She kinda reminds me of Kuro, but Kuro could talk to me.

But is all of this really not that impressive for you?

[aono]

[THEM WINGS

Rin is actually pretty fascinated by them, and he catches himself staring for a moment. But he looks back to Baraqiel pretty quickly.]

Nah, no insults there. I was just wondering what's up with them.

...and where's your bird?

[grigori]

Is Kuro your cat back home?

[ hmmmm. ]

I mean, some of it's a little weird? I've never had wings before, and we don't have spectres— at least not how the kids described them. But those things aren't impossible where I'm from, either.

[aono]

Oh! That's my brother! And he'd definitely say that, anything that's not human is a demon to him.

[It seems like a positive relationship? Maybe?]

[grigori]

[ they'll take it as a positive until proven otherwise. ]

Is it hard for him to have a brother that's a demon?

[aono]

Kinda! He's a familiar, so he's more like a really good friend who bonded with me.

[Ish. That's not exactly how familiar contracts work, but.]

Both can happen where I'm from too, but I never had wings or a soul-cat either. That means there's like three things my soul is split across now, yeah?

[grigori]

The coin's meant to let you into your hotel, but it also shows you what group you're aligned with while you're here. [ the coin - disappears? and they tap the spiraling comet on their mask, dead center of the forehead.

their wings sweep back under the cloak as they sit up some, swinging their leg around to sit properly on the bench they're on. ]

Unlike your daemons, ours can go further away from us. It's around.

[aono]

[He's about to say 'no,' but he stops himself.]

...I never really asked that.

[He's wondering if he should though.]

[aono]

[Gaaaasp]

That means we're teammates!

[Your life for the next 2 months is going to be Hell, Baraqiel.]

[grigori]

Do you think you'd ask him? I can imagine something like that being hard on someone.

[grigori]

[ a heaving sigh, their wings shifting with it as they leverage themself up from their seat. ]

So we are.

[aono]

I...probably should. But I don't think he'd like that conversation.
