[week 6 ; thursday]

[ Sometime around lunchtime, Sholmes and Kotetsu linger outside of the apartments, waiting for their third companion. Kotetsu leans up against the wall and he innocently reaches out to hook his pinky finger with Sholmes'. This dumb tiger is acting cute, stop him.

Finley lazily lays nearby, keeping an eye out to make sure no one tramples her or Irene. ]

Thanks for agreeing to this.

[greatdeduction]

[Sholmes glances at their pinky fingers, before looking away, bashful - he's about to tip his hat forward to hide his eyes when he sees the wizard, perking up.]

[There's a very noticeable sign of "I am cursed to lie" taped to the front of his shirt.]

Oh! It's not at all nice to see you, Nero.

[perfectdistance]

[You poor soul.

While they're out here Disce's in her snake form, safe and away from anybody who may be able to touch her.

There's a slight smile on his features as he reaches the other two.]

Nice t' see you two.

The feeling is very mutual.

[ He's really glad. All he can hope is that Nero can relax, even for a short while. ]

Any food preferences? Or did we want to wander under something caught our eye?

[ He still has Sholmes' pinky finger. ]

[greatdeduction]

I must say that have some food preference. Whatever you two don't decide. I'm not fine with it.

[Definitely still holding Kotetsu's pinky finger as well.]

[perfectdistance]

I'm pretty open right now.

Maybe a steakhouse?

[sponsoredby]

That sounds perfect. I saw a couple around when I was exploring before.

[greatdeduction]

I don't think that's a good idea. Let's not do it!

[pain]

[perfectdistance]

[He pats Sholmes's shoulder.]

Lead the way, Kotetsu.

[ Finley lightly nudges Irene to escort the lady on her back to keep her safe that way.

Kotetsu pushes off the wall and starts to head in the direction, still keeping Sholmes by the pinky finger. ]

How have you been adjusting to the city life, Nero?

[greatdeduction]

[Irene is more than happy to clamber on top of Finley in her favorite spot, closing her eyes with contentment.]

[Sholmes doesn't have anything to say, given the curse, and just swings their hands a little as they go along.]

[perfectdistance]

I do actually live in a city.

... This is a little too loud 'n crowded for me though.

[ He nods a bit. ]

It sounds like what you know is a lot more peaceful.

[ Finley is happy!

And Kotetsu reaches over to poke Sholmes in the cheek with his free hand. ]

You should talk, too. It's unnerving to have you so quiet.

week 6 day 5

[greatdeduction]

[Hey, Nero. Are you cooking at 5 o clock in the morning? Well, the door of the kitchen is bursting open, obviously kicked, and Sholmes comes in, wide-eyed, searching...]

[And then he points at Nero.]

THERE you are! Where the deuces have you been?! By the heavens - Kotetsu! [He's calling over his shoulder.] KOTETSU!! I found him!

[sponsoredby]

[ Kotetsu hears the shout of his name and immediately comes running in the direction of where Sholmes is shouting. With the relief, he forgets how to run. Or something like that. Either way, his clumsy ass self trips as he's running down the hall.

Hop, hop, hop.

And he skids across the floor, smashing into Sholmes' legs. How hard? That is your call.

Finley comes trotting after him and gives Kotetsu a look of disdain. Why this man? ]

[perfectdistance]

[He doesn't even jump. He has a mug of coffee, and seems to be about halfway through making omelets.

Disce watches the other two skitter in with the idle curiosity of a cat.]

Why're ya up this early?

[greatdeduction]

[He....does not fall over! He winces from the impact, but he's throwing his hands back to grab onto Kotetsu, keeping him stable.]

[This is a comedy routine.]

[He shoots Nero a disgruntled look. Irene is sitting nearby looking Tired.]

I could ask you that, Nero! You worried us half to death!

[sponsoredby]

[ He leans heavy on Sholmes and sighs, getting his footing again and peering in at Nero. ]

We woke up and were worried you were gone.

[ He drops his head to Sholmes' shoulder and sighs in relief. That really would have made his entire existence cursed if Nero had actually gone and died.

Finley moves to Irene to gently groom her. ]

[perfectdistance]

It's... Five in the mornin'. Thought you'd be asleep for longer.

[Disce mews at the others but does not move from her place on the counter.]

[greatdeduction]

Typically, I am out like a light! But in the matters of this being a rather particularly terrible day of the week, one is well-pressed to be aware when others go missing.

[He reaches up to pat Kotetsu's cheek.]

Who cooks breakfast at five in the morning?

[sponsoredby]

[ He makes a motion at Finley and Irene. ]

They're the ones that woke us up.

[ Because honestly, Sholmes and Kotetsu might have slept in if they hadn't... But Sensitive Souls. He closes his eyes at the patting of his cheek. He's still tired, but that adrenaline boost really woke up him.

...Finley also probably bit him in the leg to wake him up. Not hard, but you know. Tiger bite. ]

[perfectdistance]

I do?

[He pours coffee for the other two.

Sometimes you just have a routine, it's Fine.]

Here, have some coffee.

[greatdeduction]

[Irene just huffs where she's being groomed. Silly, stupid old men. All of them. Even Nero.]

[He glances at the coffee, then at Nero, then at Kotetsu.]

How does he do it? Do wizards simply run on little to no sleep? Powerful, truly...

[sponsoredby]

I'm not sure, either.

[ But he does reach out for the mug. Maybe they should consider actually entering the kitchen, but here is fine, right? Right. ]

[perfectdistance]

[A mug for each of them.]

I ran a restaurant. Got a lotta prep to do in the mornin'.

[Now Disce jumps off of the counter to follow her wizard.]
