Telephone Calls

[princesseimi]

Taking advantage of the fact that Kaito was out of the apartment - they still weren't exactly seeing eye to eye, nor did the princess estimate that they would be any time soon - Emeraude took the time to doll herself up a mite before settling on one of the large couches of her apartment with the phone cradled between her ear and her shoulder.

Now that the strange ordeal was over, Shinju was simply tired from worrying and wondering if anyone had been harmed. After returning to his apartment after a relaxing cup of tea (and brief, unintentional nap) at the cafe, he found himself lying on his own couch and drifting off into thought, and eventually dozing off.

He awoke with a start when he heard the phone ringing next to him, and reached over to pick it up. Before checking who it was, he answered it drowsily. "...Hello?"

[princesseimi]

She probably should have taken into consideration that he might have been sleeping.

"Oh! I'm sorry, were you asleep?"

Emmy bit her lip, sitting up abruptly, taking ahold of the phone and shifting it to her other ear; he was probably thoroughly worn out from the whole event, and she wasn't doing him much of a favour by calling him.

It took him a second to register the words and realize Emeraude had called him.

"Oh, no, I--" he moved the phone away from his mouth to suppress a yawn. "It's fine. So... everyone's okay?"

[princesseimi]

"I did, didn't I?" Emmy made a noise in her throat before sighing quietly, lying back down on her couch. "More than okay, though hardly anyone actually showed up. Probably a good thing, though - we were stuck outside most of the time."

"Did you know the City has a graveyard?"

*Eventually makes his way to the Northern District mostly thanks to the magical GPS that's totally on his phone shut up it is I don't care and approaches the window Emeraude promised to have open, the soft sound of music guiding him.*

YAY, MAGICAL GPS

[princesseimi]

*sits at a small piano sitting near the window, playing a quick concerto to guide him. She hums along quietly.*

To say I got distracted is putting it lightly

[hellfire_gouka]

*Finds the window and leans on the frame.* Hey.

Oh my. xD;

[princesseimi]

*jumps, squeaking at the sound of his voice before turning to the window* Goodness. You surprised me.

*leans against the frame beside him* Are you going to come in, or just stay out there?

Back to para style. xD;

[princesseimi]

After a while of sitting comfortably together (and maybe a brief nap on her part), Emeraude glanced to the clock hanging on the living room wall, then adjusted slightly in Shinju's arms.

"...suppose we should go to that cafe sometime soon, hm?" She laughs lightly, keeping her voice quiet in case he happened to have fallen asleep.

I don't even know what happened I'm so sorry XD;;;

[hellfire_gouka]

Shinju was roused from his thoughts (though not sleep, surprisingly) by Emeraude's words. He briefly wondered what the time was, but it wasn't important.

"Sure," he replied with a smile.

Oh, it's totally fine. Don't worry about it. xDb

[princesseimi]

"Alright," she started, stifling a soft yawn as she pushed herself up from the couch, grasping the edge of it to help herself up better. "It's getting close to supper time, anyway."

Gahhh my brain is just dying

[hellfire_gouka]

He nodded briefly and got to his feet, gently keeping a hand on Emeraude's arm. "Lead the way."
