"Cat Duty for the Wolf" almost sounds like the Zashiki-Warashi have a team specific to that. Please tell me you don't actually know how many pets Hikaru has...

Haha, it's basic novice duty! Our leader's not the only one who has pets that need watching over when shit goes down. :))

But still... Seeing as you're Zashiki-Warashi, any chance you can take point? I can't generate any new access codes for the Tower right now. I'll let you take care of it for the kids on the Cat Squad. >:3

[You can tell when he uses that emoticon that he's already fond of the idea that Zangyaku is pretty cool when it comes to pets.]

Can do, babe. Anything to help you focus on what you need to do. :)

I love you. So much.

[ He really does, Nico. ]

[riskythunder]

SENT: 9:25 AM
I love you too!

[ktotheatothez]

[ He drops off for a while. When he does come back on, there's an excited photo of him in the Cathedral of St. Mary. Tagged with, ]

Underwater cathedral, babe! It's so cool. Also, we're back in South Africa, this is probably my jumping point. Update you again in a bit, gonna update Yulia and the other Hounds too.

[riskythunder]

[Smiling when he gets this, and promptly settling down to text you back.]

That looks beautiful, and I'm glad that you got to where you needed to go safely. We should definitely travel together sometime. :)

[ktotheatothez]

Why don't you pick where the honeymoon starts, then? We can take a leave of absence and travel the world for a while.

[riskythunder]

Really??? You're down to do that?

Huh. Now I have to think about this. :))

[ktotheatothez]

Well, don't think about it too much yet. Besides, there's still the matter of our parents' approval?

[ He's checked in with the Brotherhood regarding his and Maes' coordinates. He does the same with you, because fiance. ]

[riskythunder]

Riiight, there's that. Pretty sure that'll be a formality more than anything else, though. They love you.

[ktotheatothez]

And I love you. I know I say it a lot, but lemme be a sap, okay?

[riskythunder]

You being a sap is one of the things I love best about you. :p

[ktotheatothez]

Stop, you. I'm gonna check out for a bit. Driving down to where I... Y'know... croaked.


[ He hates the fact that he died on you, still. ]

[riskythunder]

You'll be fine, Kaz.

Call me, okay? Will keep you in my thoughts, like always. :)

[ktotheatothez]

[ The next time he checks in is after he's faced his Shadow, which is really late. ]

My Shadow was a bitch to fight, babe. ;_;

[riskythunder]

[Good thing your boy is still up. Was he worried? Yep, always. Was he missing you? Definitely.]

That is how it's supposed to be, or so I've been told! You okay?

[ktotheatothez]

[ Well, he sends you a photo of him and the various bruises on his body. ]

Bruised, battered, stronger? I kind of called on my Social Links quite a bit. I'm only keeping the bruises as far as that photo. I'll be all healed up when you see me again, promise.

[riskythunder]

Good.

Tell me how it went?

[ktotheatothez]

[1/2] You know how the Shadow battles in Persona 4 went? Like that. Only... It told me everything I was ever scared of, and more.

[2/2] It really was like I was fighting myself, and it was hard. But I made it 'cause you were with me. Roxas, Josh, Aniki, Jessie and Yulia. You all helped me fight him.

[riskythunder]

I see.

I'm glad that you're okay, and that you didn't end up getting defeated by.... well. Youreself.

[ktotheatothez]

Well, of course I did... It's not like Shadow-Me would've been a very nice husband.

[riskythunder]

[Laughing out loud at that on his end.]

Shadow!You is practically NOT you, I'm sure. :))

[ktotheatothez]

No, no he really isn't. For starters, his eyes are yellow. Mine only ever go blue if I use any of Roxas' abilities.
