She's dumb when it comes to that. Its also what you get for finding an unexperienced young girl. You'll just have to figure a way that is direct and wont go over her head.
[He shrugs]
She kept asking about you while you were gone. Was annoyed at us for not going after you. Found her in your room looking for clues too.
[Not that there would be. It was just that Kao snatched him.]
Pretty sure you don't need a hero with as strong as you are. Cute thought I guess though. She really was trying to figure out a way to find you.
[Its really something just watching them both. Stupid....but sort of cute. He still thinks Leona is better off with them than this girl that doesn't know anything. He's not sure why the demon likes her and wants to keep her around but whatever makes him happy]
[Demi hangs up and pockets the phone. He pets Kagami, frowning more too.
Moroha is held in the air by a thick vine wrapped tightly around her. She growls at Kao, struggling as the vine tightens around her. She yells are muffled by the vine over her mouth too.
Kao was quick to muffle the yappy pup. He runs his claws through Iris' hair gently, cupping her cheek and making her look at him. Iris looks terrified, frozen as she looks at him.]
You really have grown into a beautiful woman. Don't you think its time you come home for awhile? It is rude how you've avoided me so much. Hiding behind the lion is cute and all but I'm a bit tired of it...

In case you haven’t noticed, even when I’m being direct with her, it goes over her head and she thinks I’m trying to pick a fight.

Pup wanted to be your hero.
no subject
His ears twitches before flicking back.]
She’s got a long way to go before she can be my hero.
[It’s touching though, in a way.]

no subject
[She’d stand out even more there if she ever went. Leona knows she’ll attract unnecessary attention there.]
no subject
[Don't need Kao getting more of his attention to her also Demi doesn't want the pup to see Kao and lion lord going at it. So its for the best.]
no subject
[He stretches.]
How long has Iris been out already?
no subject
[He glances at his phone]
Im surprised shes not back yet but she seems fine.
no subject
[He sighs softly.]
Tell her to come home. She shouldn’t be wasting so much time on those cats.
no subject
[Iris can be sweet but she can also be petty and a bit ruthless....which he doesn't like. He's glad Leona raised her over Kao....]
I'll let her know. I'll tell her you're back so she should come back faster as well.
no subject
[Sounds a little too much like him. Welp.]
Tell her to bring the pup back too while she’s at it.
no subject
[He nods, texting her.]
Anything else?
no subject
[Unless they want to deal with Leona personally.]
no subject
[Demi nods simply]
no subject
[He glances out the window.]
no subject
[Hes fine with that]
no subject
[He smirks slightly.]
Did she respond?
no subject
[He glances to his phone]
Not yet.
no subject
[Leona's eyes begins to glow faintly as he reaches out to Iris and Moroha. What's taking so long?]
no subject
I can try calling her.
[He hits call and moves his ear to the phone listening to it ring. He perks when it picks up just before voicemail.]
Iris, whats going on? Leave the the tigers and come home.
[Demi pauses and blinks]
....U-uh...I see....
[He looks to Leona frowning, looking a bit more pale at the voice that answered]
Okay...th-thanks Kao.
no subject
[A slow sigh.]
Demi, watch the palace. I'll be back.
[With that, the lion disappears quickly.
Kagami shrinks back in Demi's arms, ears flattening against his head.]

no subject
[Leona appears behind the underworld demon. His eyes are sharp, gold bleeding a bit into green.]
I believe this is going against our accord, doesn't it?
[He turns the vines holding Moroha into sand though he keeps his gaze on Kao.]
no subject
I am merely greeting her is all. Its been so long. It really is cruel of you to keep a mother from his daughter.
[Kao smiles plesantly at him, removing himself from Iris who keeps frozen.
Moroha blinks when the vines crumble and she hits the ground with a 'oof!']
