[Night's SFC is turned on in Rin's room, the would-be chef putting on his jacket before the day's class starts. Night seems to be sitting on his bed, recording for some odd reason, though it's not like Rin is shirtless or anything.]

Would you put that away... ?

Nah. [He's filming at an odd angle, focusing the camera on Rin as he moves around the room. Someone's a little bored.] You goin' to your class?

Yeah, people are gonna be showin' up soon.

[He finishes buttoning up his jacket and goes to close the closet, stopping when something catches his attention.]

Ah damn... I need to take this back...

[There's a deep purple dress on a hangar, though it doesn't appear to belong to Maka, and there's a tag still on it. He tosses it on the bed next to Night in a "I'll deal with it later" gesture and returns to getting ready, with his back to the other demon.]

... Hey, what's this? It isn't Maka's is it? [The camera feed moves suddenly from Night setting it on the bed as he picks up the dress. The video just catches Rin sideways with the sound of fabric moving in the background.

A lot of fabric moving actually... What is Night doing off screen?]

No, it was for Kohaku's birthday, but I got the wrong size so I had to get a different one. The one I got her was a lighter purple.

[Rin is too busy tying a cravat around his neck to realize what Night is up to.]

[This will end badly.]

Yeah, it's way too big for her too. [Something enters the feed from the side. Something purple and suspiciously dress-looking.]

Oi, can you zip this up? I can't reach it all the way. [Oh my God, Night are you wearing that dress?]

I'm not good at sizes, oka-- ... y... you didn't--

[Rin wheels around, staring in abject horror at Night.]

Take that off! You're gonna ruin it! And I really don't wanna see your demon ass in a dress!

[Something just so happens to bump the camera enough to finally show Night in all his beautiful glory. The dress doesn't look half-bad either.]

No I won't! Besides, it looks great on me, right?

Maybe a little short, so definitely not my first choice... [Obviously a man that knows his taste in dresses.]

Ugh-- no! Get outta the damn dress, Night!

[hope you're prepared to get tackled, Night]

Wai- No! [Whoops, there goes the camera angle again. A few thuds and some heated bickering over the dress before a very loud--

Riiip!

Cue the following silence. Until Night finally pipes up-]

Look what you did!

[ooc: Rin is blue and Night is red.]

[He'll apologize later by crawling into her lap as a cat and purr cutely.]

It was my idea... I thought he'd like it, but... but he just couldn't control himself! [BIG DRAMATIC SNIFF as Night hides his face in his hands. It's really hard not bursting out laughing right there, but with his face covered it almost looks like he's crying...

Yeah right.]

[ NIGHT PLZ but at the moment, she's more focused on Rin as she responds to him. ]

That's why it's so unexpected! And... really bad, too...

Rin, what would Maka-chan say if she found out about this?

[ ... Shiemi, dear, no offense but I think Maka would be freaking out a lot less about it... ]

You know she'd be heartbroken if she knew you were cheating on her with Night! The cat, of all things--!

[ ... uh-oh, this is shaping up to be more indignant than torn up by feels here... ]

... WHAT?! I'm not cheatin' on Maka and--

[wait did she just say 'the cat' like it was a bad thing?]

... wow Shiemi that's kinda harsh, comin' from you.

[OKAY getting up now, and offering a hand to Night because even if he was pissed before he doesn't deserve that kind of treatment.]

I'm not cheatin' on anyone. It was... was an accident. Okay?

[O-Ow.

Maybe if it came from anyone else it wouldn't sting as much, but coming from Mona--

Shiemi.

... Coming from Shiemi, it was a little painful. Ah, but there was a ring of truth to it, wasn't there?]

Aha, it's fine! An' he's right, Shiemi, it was just an accident. [He smiles at her, taking Rin's hand to pull himself up. At least he can look sheepish for her.] Sorry, I was just teasing you some.

...

[ ... oh.

oh

That... sure is Shiemi's expression changing from indignation to surprise, there...

... and then one of pained realization as it hits her that yes, she did just... insult two of her housemates however indirectly in her little confrontation. O-oops. ]

... a-ah. An... accident, huh...?

[ She's suddenly more quiet and withdrawn than she was at the start of this entire situation. ]

[... aw man. This is not good...]

... okay, look, I think we all just need to calm down and like... apologize and shit, 'cause this got way outta hand...

[SHIEMI THAT MEANS YOU]

[No, everything is fine. Damn it.]

I'll pay you back for the dress, Rin. I'm sorry I didn't ask before trying it on.

[He sounds too amicable, but it's better than the alternative. Night pulls off the dress, his tail wrapped tightly around his midsection.]

But hey, these things happen, you know? No big deal! [There's that smile again.]

Even if... you say it isn't, I was still out of line...

[ There's a pause as she looks down at her hands, fidgets for a bit, and then looks back up regretfully, smiling awkwardly at both of them. ]

Rin, Night... I'm sorry. For anything and everything that I said... I wasn't thinking.

Especially you, Night... it wasn't... my intention to insult you during that. And Rin... I'm sorry. To both you and Maka-chan, too, for my outburst...

[ She feels terrible about it, really. And it shows, as she looks like she's about ready to collapse and start crying in the middle of the bedroom. But she composes herself just long enough to give the both of them a sad smile and a bow before she backs up again towards the door. ]

... I should... probably leave. Before I... make things worse...

[ And before either Rin or Night can stop her, she deftly steps outside and closes the door. Unfortunately, she's not that good at hiding her feelings because there's a good ten seconds or so of quiet sobbing that can be heard outside before it quiets down...

... and yeah, she's just going to curl up in a corner of woe somewhere for the rest of the day. Oops. :(

~~i.e. just hole up in Izumo's room in a future log, f-ffffff~~ ]

Shiemi--! ... damn it...

[This was not how he wanted to start his day. But he has a class to get to and he can't go chasing after her. It's going to be on his mind all day, but he won't let it show until after the class.

Maybe he can talk to her then.]

Fuck. I'm sorry, Night. I shouldn't have acted like that...

[He watches her leave, silent during the entire outburst. Trying to reach out to her now would just make this worse.

Night sighs, hand settling on his wrapped tail before he turns to find his shirt.]

It's fine. Like I said I shouldn't have put it on at all. Accidents happen, you know?

Yeah... I'll uhm... I'll talk to her later.

[awkward cough]

... she was just upset, y'know? You're not just 'the cat'.

[He shoots Rin a smile and pulls his shirt back on.]

I know what I am. Don't worry about it, kid.

... I gotta get downstairs.

[why the hell does he feel so damn uncomfortable now?]

Don't forget about your class.

[He doesn't turn to face him, focusing more on hiding his tail away again.]

Yeah. Later...

[just going to slip out now]
