[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...
Then it will never happen because you probably talk poorly of me to her. I feel I should be entitled to at least visit or two a year. Right Iris?
[He looks to her making her tense and step back.]
Tell him.
Hey! You did to back the hell off!
[Kao blinks when he's shoved a step back as Moroha gets between them. She growls up at the underworld demon]
She doesn't like you. You freak her out so back the hell off before I start tearing my claws into you and making you regret getting in her bubble, flower boy.
[Kao blinks, looking genuinely surprised before his eyes narrow dangerously and start to glow.]
You'd best mind your place, quarter demon priestess. Our family matters are ours to handle.
Too bad. I ain't scared of ya, creep!
[Kao looks like he's debating snapping Moroha's neck before Leona can stop him...]
[A sudden aura of sorts begins to press down on everyone, exerting its pressure as Leona steps forward. He pushes both of his girls behind him as he looks at Kao.]
Our accord still stands, Kao. Unless you want to breach that contract, be my guest, but neither of us wants to fight one another, do we?
[It won't end well for either side. Kao may be the underworld demon, but Leona is powerful in his own way as well. He won't hesitate to fight if it comes down to it to protect his pride.]
[Moroha blinks though the feeling of his aura is heavy. She stares at his back before peeking at Kao.
Kao glares and shifts his gaze to Leona. There's silence. A moment of debate on what he truly wants to do. He's not the most happy with this contract either. Its so restricting. His own aura presses back against Leona as things around them start to wither before he finally sighs]
Very well. Keep your puppy collared at least.
[He shakes his head as he vanishes in a flurry of rose petals~]
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!']
no subject
[He walks over, easily turning the vines holding Iris into sand. He continues to keep his gaze on Kao.]
She will have to be ready for that. I'd prefer it if you do your best to honor that.
no subject
[He looks to her making her tense and step back.]
Tell him.
Hey! You did to back the hell off!

He teleports the three of them back to his palace before finally facing them.]
Are you two alright?
