[He watches the pup leave before his eyes shifts over to Demi.]

Hmm? That bad?

[bloodthirstydawn]

It sticks out alot.

[Demi's nose wrinkles a bit]

[sunsetking]

As if you hadn’t left your own fair marks on me before.

[Leona snorts.

Kagami peeks up at that, blinking.]

[bloodthirstydawn]

[Demi's ears shoot up at that and his mouth hangs agape a bit]

....

[He hisses and frowns at him!]

Not....to that extent. I come out looking worse off than you too. Takes forever to heal too...

[Mumble mumble as his ears flatten]

[sunsetking]

[Kagami stares up at Demi.

Leona snickers and reaches over to pat the rabbit’s head.]

Still pretty bad.

[Even Zhen can be pretty bad once he’s in the mood.]

[bloodthirstydawn]

[Its hard to get Zhen that much in the mood, but when it hits and Leona teases enough, he's made sure to leave lots of bites and claw marks on the lion. It looks like a fight more than anything else. Tigers do have a nasty bite.

Zhen's ears flick and sits back.

The rabbit grunts at the pat and pushes more meat to Kagami. Just...dont worry about it Kagami]

[sunsetking]

[Kagami perks and eats more.

Leona smirks.]

I’ll see y’all later.

[With that, he heads back to his own room to get ready. He’ll need to tell Iris he’ll be heading out, too.]

[bloodthirstydawn]

[If shes not in the garden she's usually in her own room.

But noon soon comes. Seth stands by Moroha as they wait by Leona's car. She has her bow and quiver on casually. She doesn't know what exactly Leona wants her to do but she figures it wouldnt hurt to bring it. Seth looks curious at her, his big tail swaying.

[sunsetking]

You two set?

[Leona walks over at to them. He blinks slowly at the sight of arrows but doesn’t seem against it.

He just heads straight into the car.]

[bloodthirstydawn]

[Seth perks and climbs in once Leona gets in]

Yeah, how far is it anyway?

[Moroha makes herself comfortable in the back seat. she's not...the biggest fan of cars but she doesn't mind it too much]

[sunsetking]

About an hour’s drive. I’ll discuss what’s going on on the way there.

[Once they’re settled in, he pulls out and starts driving off.]

It’s a fishing village, but one of the main ports for this territory. Ruggie’s gotten news of rumors about a potential drug and slave ring going on. Children are often targets for the latter, especially half-bloods and quarter-demons. Often homeless due to the usual prejudice humans have against them.

[He frowns.]

It’s possible they’re operating in the same base so we’ll be working on taking both birds out with one stone as long as we do it right.

[bloodthirstydawn]

[Moroha blinks listening to him....she makes a face at that. Her nose wrinkling in disgust. Seth frowns too]

So pretty much track it down and try to put a stop to it then. It doesn't sound like something we can do in just one day.

[Seth looks thoughtful]

[sunsetking]

Exactly so.

[He frowns.]

Which is where you’re going to come in, pup. While sleuthing might not be your thing, I’m going to need you to go undercover to find out where the children are going to be taken to.

[Leona glances back at Moroha from the rear view mirror.]

[bloodthirstydawn]

....Sleuthing...?

[She blinks slowly at the word and looks at him]

Like detective work.

[Seth smiles back at her. Moroha gives a slow nod]

I'm not exactly a kid though. What makes you think they'll do anything to me?

You are a quarter demon.

That fishing village isnt just going to know it.

[sunsetking]

They have…other interests aside from that.

[He gives her a meaningful look.]

Girls are your age tend to catch their eye too for particular ‘work’.

[bloodthirstydawn]

[Blink blink.

Seth makes a face]

Just make sure you're careful Moroha.

Do I...just go out and about just like that?

[sunsetking]

Nope.

[His tail sways.]

I know an innkeeper who can help. She keeps an eye on things for me in that place. You’re going to have to catch their eye and the best way for that is to dance.

[bloodthirstydawn]

[Moroha stares at him]

Dance? You can't be serious...

[She's staring hard at the back of his head]

I only know like....shrine dances and ceremony stuff.

[sunsetking]

That’ll still work. If you’re a shrine maiden, your worth would go up even more.

[He hums~]

[bloodthirstydawn]

Does that...really matter?

[Yeah she knows nothing about this side of things.]

I didn't bring any shrine clothes.

[Seth looks curious.]

It'll be something to see you dance.

[Moroha makes a face at him]

[sunsetking]

Oh, don't worry. Clothes are easily handled.

[Leona keeps his gaze ahead.]

But it'll be up to you how to act once you're in the spotlight.

[bloodthirstydawn]

....How am I suppose to act for this to work? I make no promises...

[but she'll try]

[sunsetking]

The exact opposite of how you usually act.

[He...has faith in you.]

[bloodthirstydawn]

[Moroha blinks and squints at him. She kicks his seat lightly]

That doesn't tell me anything!

[Seth bites back a chuckle to be polite. He cant help but smile though]

[sunsetking]

More demure. Ladylike. Not eager to start a fight or anything.

[A glance back at her.]

If you're going to dress the part, you're going to have to act the part, too.
