[Riku chokes. He's frozen still before a bit of panic sets in and he struggles, grabbing and trying to pull Leona's arm away. He hisses between clench teeth.

Right. Don't push the lion's button to much. Leona doesn't play nice. He didn't even touch Iris yet!

[Kai blinks up at Riku. He knows better than to help but the urge is there clearly as he steps towards Leona. He's not as rash as his twin though.]

We would not bring your pride harm. It was just a suggestion to bring one to the underworld so you would follow.

[sunsetking]

[Leona ignores Riku's attempts as he glances over at Kai.

There's clear debate before he clicks his tongue.]

You can let Kao know once I've finished my job here, I'll go see him. Until then, I don't want to see either of you or his flowers around me. Got it?

[He unceremoniously drops Riku.]

Do not go touching what's mine.

[bloodthirstydawn]

[Riku yelps when hes dropped and hits the ground. He hisses and glares up at Leona as he rubs his neck.

Kai blinks and looks thoughtful as if hes considering his words]

How long will your job here take? Also we will not touch what is marked as yours.

[sunsetking]

A few days give or take. If Kao wants me to see him sooner, he's always free to lend a "hand" in getting rid of the people I'm after.

[He stares down at Riku, eyes practically glowing.]

[bloodthirstydawn]

We could just nuke the damn town and be done with it...

[Riku is tempted too. Though be blinks at the look and quickly moves a small distance away...maybe a little behind Kai. He frowns at Leona.]

I doubt he would be interested but we'll pass on the message. Anything else?

[sunsetking]

That's all.

[Enjoy those unblinking eyes on you, Riku.]

Now, get out of my sight.

[bloodthirstydawn]

[Riku hisses from behind his brother. Kai lingers a moment. He watches Leona and his eyes do shift to where Seth is and then towards the inn. But he gives a small bow and vanishes.

Riku blinks! He's quick to vanish after Kai]

[sunsetking]

Tch.

[He hadn’t missed that. While Riku is more straightforward and headstrong, Kai is the one who can scheme if he so desires.

How annoying.

Leona breathes out softly, letting a barrier form around Seth and Moroha.]

[bloodthirstydawn]

[They love you too.

They're never ones to give up so quickly...

Mythril keeps out of sight, just trailing after Leona. Iris might of asked him to tag along to make sure everything goes well...though hes not sure what he could even do about it. Seeing Leona choke out a hell-demon....yeah he has no desire to get mixed up in anything. The fairy holds back a grumble and keeps hidden in the potted plant.]

[sunsetking]

[They aren’t. If they do something, Leona is going to turn them into sand.

But Mythril is suddenly getting plucked up by an annoyed lion.]

The hell are you doing lurking around for, pipsqueak?

[bloodthirstydawn]

[The fairy squeaks as he's snatched and the world does a quick whirl. He's just a little guy!]

U-u-uh... Ir-Iris told me to make sure you and the other two are ok and to help out and tag along.

[He puts his hands together]

Don't turn me to sand! I'm just doing what she asked!

[sunsetking]

If you’re here for that, then go tell your friends to keep an eye on Moroha and Seth.

[Iris, he loves you but why…]

[bloodthirstydawn]

...

[Okay...he doesnt seem as upset anymore. Maybe it really was just those two twins]

Rowan is with Seth. Lily went after Moroha...

[Rowan always dozes and Lily is more new to being out of the garden since she doesn't leave that or Iris' room much... so he was trying to spare them the toughest task; being with Leona.]

So....thats already being done.

[sunsetking]

Good.

[He releases the fairy.]

Have them report to you every thirty minutes. I don’t trust those two punks not to do anything even after I’ve warned them.

[bloodthirstydawn]

Isn't...thirty minutes a bit excessive....?

[Slow blink. His wings flutter to keep him flying next to Leona. Seth is strong and the quarter demons seems to be able to handle herself for the most part]

[sunsetking]

[There’s a slow blink and Leona just raises a brow at Mythril. Stareee.]

[bloodthirstydawn]

. . . . .

[He drifts just barely out of reach to be grabbed]

Yes sir. Understood...

[sunsetking]

Good.

[Leona sighs and starts walking.

This has gotten annoying.]

[bloodthirstydawn]

[Mythril hesitates but he does fly after him quietly. The lion is scary.]

Uh...is there anything else you need...?

[sunsetking]

If you want to make yourself useful, go look more into the drug ring for me.

[He glances at the tiny thing.]

You're small enough not to be detected by anyone.

[bloodthirstydawn]

[They can pretty much go invisible when needed. It just doesn't work with Leona and the like. A floral scent is always there depending on the type of fairy.]

Uh...I can try. I wouldn't know where to start...

[sunsetking]

The docks are usually a good place.

[His tail flicks.]

Start there.

[bloodthirstydawn]

Alright...

[He sounds uncomfortable but with a sigh he does fly off in that direction. The lion is finally left alone for the time being]

[sunsetking]

[Finally.

Leona grunts and continues his own investigations.

It is a little closer to evening that they reconvene at the inn. Leona is leaning against one of the columns in the building, waiting for Hanako to bring Moroha out while he listens to Seth give his report.]

[bloodthirstydawn]

[Seth keeps by Leona, explaining everything. He didn't get too much but the village ladies have warmed up to him. Seth is good looking but he also comes off as honest and geninue which....he typically is. Even when he's trying to get close because Leona told him too, he does have care for the ladies too. He might of helped with some handyman things too here and there. It was a bonus for the ladies with it being hot out and one of them offered to take his shirt to be washed since he got sweaty for them. He might not have Leona's body but Seth is built well. But hey, he got a nice fresh clean shirt out of it and some new lady friends. Basically Leona gets some of the latest gossip]
