What: Mitsuru and Larry shenanigans, mostly.
When: Backdated after The Gentlemen plot
Where: Mitsuru's Apartment in City Royale

Mitsuru has been in and out of sleep the past month. The castle made her rest through the Gentemen's attack and the days before that. She decided to head to her new place in town to be away from the other residents, but little does she know she is with another resident in her own private sanctuary. Half-awake, she feels she isn't alone on her bed....

He hadn't been awake for particularly long, and the fact that he - once again - clearly wasn't in his room wasn't of any major surprise. He's had enough times of 'waking up in a room that isn't his' in the castle that it was just the norm. As sad as that was for him to acknowledge. Noting Weiss curled up in the corner, he at least knew it was safe to assume that the place must be safe.

Of course, there's a bit of deja vu here. Waking up in a different place, the dog there with him and he just woke up with someone else. And that someone was easy to guess given that there was only one woman he knew with red hair like that.

Pixy rolls his eyes as he glances back at Mitsuru, knowing full well she was awake.

"Is this going to become a regular thing for us, kid?"

"Mmmnn..." Mitsuru grunts in response, but her brows crumpled when she heard a familiar voice. Slowly, she opens her eyes and sees Larry right next to her.

"Larry?" She asked. But not long after that, she gasps. Realizing she has her arm around him, she immediately retracts it and quickly steps out of bed while covering her body with the blanket.

"It... It must be. I-" Mitsuru's face was bright red while she looks away. She cleared her throat "My apologies. Can we speak after I put some clothes on?"

[solowingpixy]

Yep, this routine was completely familiar. This was, what, the third time he woke up in the same room as her? At least the last time, he at least just fell onto the floor as opposed to actually being in bed with her. He raised an eyebrow as he sat up- surprisingly he didn't feel tired at all. Though it was safe to assume he probably slept for a while. He'd have to make a note to check a calendar, because knowing his luck in this place, the castle knocked him out again.

"Yeah, sure. I'll be outside the room."

He stood up, reaching up and adjusting his flight jacket, as he was fortunately (or perhaps unfortunately) fully clothed. He snapped his fingers, causing Weiss to perk up and rush over to him. He kneeled down, picking up the puppy and started for the door.

God, where were they this time?

"There is no need for you to leave the apartment" Mitsuru sighed, her face was bright crimson even though she's pretty much used to the castle doing this...

"I could just change in the bath" Mitsuru grabbed some clothes and heads inside the bathroom where she could still talk to her guest. Her silhouette is still visible from the outside without her realizing it.

"Maybe it would be good news to you that we are still in Paradisa. In town, to be precise" She reassured Larry that they're not in another world-change, her voice muffled thanks to the closed door behind her but it was still clear enough for her guest to understand.

[solowingpixy]

He stopped at the door, glancing briefly over his shoulder and watched her enter the other room. Naturally, he paid no attention to that silhouette- He was more content on getting information, after all.

"Really." He spoke flatly, staying where he was as he held Weiss, keeping the hyperactive puppy from assaulting his face with puppy kisses.

"I guess I should be thankful you know where we are for once." He frowned, "But care to explain how me and Weiss got here?"

"I watched over Weiss when he suddenly appeared in my room weeks past" Mitsuru finished changing. The running water when she turned the faucet on served as a pause before she comes out of the bathroom and speaks again.

"I assumed you were put to sleep by the castle. Your room was locked when I came to check and return Weiss and your plush toy jet" Mitsuru looked at the room, avoiding direct eye contact with Larry because the atmosphere was still a tad awkward.

"Weiss kept biting it's wings, so I kept it away from him." There was a glimpse of a smile when she said that. She's grown fond of the plush toy. Hugging it was just so comfortable!

[solowingpixy]

He raised an eyebrow slightly, "That explains how Weiss got here, not me."

Although he could probably fathom a guess. A plush that is no where in sight in this room, and not to mention there were some faint stings on his arm? He'd already been turned into a diecast jet once, so...

He took another glance around the room for the plush, before looking back to Mitsuru. That little smile of hers was hard to miss.

"I'd offer to let you keep it, but I can't say I see it anywhere."

[luxe_can_kill]

"Hmm?" Mitsuru lifts a curious brow while brushing her hair. "It should be in bed, I was with it when--" Mitsuru paused and gasped, realizing she was hugging it whenever she sleeps. Rather close too. Boing.

"Well..."

Open Section

[luxe_can_kill]

Mitsuru woke up in her town apartment, half-glad that she didn't wake up anywhere she doesn't know. But it appears she was gone for an entire month. Being idle for that long didn't sit well with her, but she chose to look at the bright side of things and just go about her day like usual.

Leaving her apartment with her journal and a book in hand, she heads down to her favorite cafe in town.
