Log;




After receiving Seiya's call, Megumi set to work. She'd just gotten back from checking things in the kitchen at Hymns of Lorelei since she wasn't on call at the hospital today, and after everything that had happened, aside from that one short break she'd had with that jam session with Daryan, all her responsibilities just felt so tasking.

Fortunately the household equipment was generous enough after she'd enchanted them to ease her workload, and as the utensils and things worked on cleaning up after she'd prepared the nice dinner she'd promised Seiya, and the cutlery and dinnerware set themselves at the table, Meg stepped away from the kitchen, wiping her hands with a towel. A shower and outfit change later, she sighed and walked towards the main door of her home and whispered a name. "Seiya Kou"-- she told it. The door would open if he mentioned his name, this was a handy spell that kept intruders from finding her home, though it mostly only worked for those who didn't have powers stronger than her. And at the very least, it kept people like Alexis Hargreaves from finding her. She thanked the stars that he wasn't a magical being.

As she stepped away from the door, her eyes fell on her acoustic-electric guitar that she'd set to a side-- she'd left it there the day Daryan had come over and she'd forgotten to move it. Sighing at her absent-mindedness, she picked it up and headed to the living room, seating herself inside. It was an uninterrupted trip, as the living room was only a few steps into the house and was a comfortable, nice-looking place with her fireplace and couches and she often hosted her friends there. Her display cases, pictures and a music system were there too, and a picture of her-- with Anise, Vivio and A.B.A from earlier sat on the table next to her. The table near the fireplace had some pictures of them too, and some near the fireplace with her and Axl, from when he was here, as well as some with her other friends like Guy and Luke and more.

Her eyes wandered over the room, and then towards the living room balcony that overlooked the rose garden and the city view outside, the curtains parted. Evening was settling in, and she felt nostalgic, seating herself at a couch and folding her legs under her skirt and setting her guitar on her lap.

So much had happened, so much was going to continue happening. She moved a hand to cover her face for a moment, and inhaled softly, before shaking her head.

Friends first. She had to get back to normal... tonight, she would attempt that relaxation with Seiya, and learn a little about him too.

Normalcy, she thought with a quiet smile... how long had it been since she'd felt that?

It would be alright. And chuckling to herself, she began to strum an instrumental piece on her acoustic, just the cover.

It was when she played that she was completely at peace, after all.

Even if it wasn't in the water for now...

So she played, and waited to hear for when Seiya would come by. She wanted to learn more about her new friend, and she hoped this would help him too.

Following Megumi after having exchanged his outdoor shoes for the indoor slippers she'd offered him, Seiya couldn't help comparing this scenario to the one that had taken place at Odango's house that night before his real identity had been revealed to her.

Megumi was nothing like Odango, not a clumsy teenager who he could force into a pouting fits of cute innocence with his teasing. No, Megumi greeted him politely and without tripping over her own two feet.

It was probably for the best... that Megumi and Odango were not alike at all.

Feeling a leer forming on his lips at her last words, Seiya returned to the present and cocked his head, raising an eyebrow at her. "Of course it does," he answered with an arrogant shrug of his shoulder, "I'm an idol - I've got style."

It was this kind of thing that would normally irritate Odango...

Letting the sentence hang in the air for a moment, noting her amusement, he snorted and made a deep bow in her direction. "However," he continued in a flirtatiously deep voice, holding the rose out to her when he straightened up, "it's not for me. Consider it a gift. Megumi-san."

Allowing Megumi to take the rose, Itsuki's words about all pretty and no depth still haunting in the back of his mind, Seiya added in a somewhat moody voice: "And make sure to tell Itsuki-kun about it, yeah? He says I lack charm." He held his arms out in a despairing manner, uttering an exaggerated sigh before winking at her with a smirk.

It was surprisingly easy to behave like this around Megumi, to be easy-going and arrogant, knowing that it would make her smile.

Very much like...

"We both know that's not true, right?" he told her, not going there. Odango wasn't here. This time his song wasn't for her, but for his Princess. He still wanted to see her (see her shine), but at least he'd finally told her the truth...

The truth -
