[Rin has been in Vatheon all of a week. His first day he got in to a fight with Masaru and was chastised by Zelda for nearly brawling near the coral, but since then it's been quiet for him.

And he's already bored.

He's staring at the SFC, chin in his hand, tapping fingers on the table off screen. Eventually he lets out a sigh and straightens, running hands through his hair with an additional huff.]

So. I can't train here, not like I can back home since Shura is gone again. And I'm pretty sure I can't go to school here either.

[Oh please let that be true. Please please please.]

So... what the hell else is there to do? Like... can I get a job even though I don't need money?

[he slumps back in his chair, hanging over the back rest with his arms down at his sides and his head tilted back. He spins around in it so he's facing the SFC again, though now looking at it upside down.]

Just... gimmie somethin' to do! Please! I'm gonna go insane if I take one more pointless walk to the plaza again...

[Help a demon out, Vatheon.

Or torment him.

There's that option, too.]

... alright...

[Rin still has his doubts, but he doesn't voice them]

I'll be fine, I promise. I don't live alone.

[What she doesn't mention is that one of her roommates is currently unconscious and that the other is a little... different.]

Yeah well...

[Rin huffs, putting his hands on his hips and scratching at the back of his leg with his foot. His irritation remains, but he's trying to forget about it as much as he can. He doesn't like that some one even tried something like this. He already considers Zelda a friend for all she's done for him, so his protective instincts have kicked in full force.

Not that he would ever admit that out loud.]

If you need help or whatever...

[He's a good boy, isn't he? Up on her doorstep like she is, Zelda is taller than Rin. As such, it's obviously impossible for her to resist the urge to reach out and pat his head.]

I will call you. For now, I'll just be concentrating on spell work. You call me again if you'd like to practice, alright?

[Enjoy that momentary tallness. Him and Yukio both got random tall Satan genes and stand 5'9" and 6' respectively. They are tall Japanese teens and he probably stands over her pretty well otherwise.

And he might not complain about head patting..

Might.]

Yeah, sure. ... thanks, by the way. Sorry I kinda... sucked at the end there.

There would be no need for practice if you'd already reached perfection, would there?

[Zelda looks vaguely amused.]

Besides, I always like having something new to research. There's no need for apologies.

Yeah... guess so...

[he huffs, stuffing hands in the pockets of his hoodie]

I only found out about all this a year ago... not really enough time to learn everything 'bout bein' a demon and exorcist trainin'.

It will be alright. I only recently found out what I am, as well...

[Oh. She didn't mean to say that! Zelda looks a little startled.]

Ah, well, I should head inside and make sure everything is secure. Feel free to call me, alright Rin?

[Well, at least they have something in common. That's a talk for another time though, obviously.]

Yeah. I will. Thanks again.

[he turns and heads off, waving over his shoulder as he leaves.]
