[Later in the evening, Shura gets a message from her Favorite Person in Nysa--]

[But for once, he's not here to be obnoxious. Much like during their little expedition this month, he's actually making an effort to be a little less antagonistic and a little more useful as an ally. Which is probably just suspicious coming from him, even when it's in earnest.]

If you're planning a trip to head north anytime soon, I'd advise against it.

I don't know how Wyver is fairing at the moment, but Olympia is in flames.

[exaomori]

why

[She actually does appreciate the warning, but she has priorities.]

how's yukio

[meinwaifu]

Your guess is as good as mine. But the social unrest has been escalating for some time now. Perhaps the citizens simply couldn't wait for Wyver to attack and decided to destroy the city for themselves.

[It's still early on since things started getting really bad, so he's yet to experience the odd mist at this point. But he can tell something happened to make things worse.]

[Ah, but Yukio--]

We're not in touch. I haven't seen Mr. Okumura since he first awoke on Thesa Station.

[exaomori]

[she doesn't believe him. mostly because that seems out of character! when wasn't mephisto watching??]

seriously?

[meinwaifu]

[When he doesn't have access to the powers that let him be always watching, obviously.]

I have nothing to gain from lying to you, nor from seeking out the company of a person who is neither fond of me nor of use to me at the moment.

[He's not interested in playing babysitter to an angsty teenager, that's Shura's job!!]

[exaomori]

[yeah but that angsty teen happens to be located in olympia, and things were a little tough travelling between the two!!]

what a pain in the ass

[you know what'd be gr8, having both the kids in wyver. or olympia. or together in the woods. Just in one place so Shura wasn't having to worry like this. It's all a giant pain on all fronts.]

[meinwaifu]

Shall I seek him out for you and inform you of his whereabouts and status?

Last I checked, I still owe you a favor.

[Even if the reason for it is pretty moot now that Mipha knows the truth about him.]

Text

[meinwaifu]

[About three days after this happens, Shura gets a message. She might have been expecting it by now, with so many others who perished suddenly walking around again. Would she expect it so soon? Who knows.]

The sake was good.
I'm sorry I wasn't lucid enough to enjoy it properly.

[exaomori]

[even though she had seen and heard of the people returning, she wasn't holding out hope for Mephisto. He was different, even if the Natha had leveled the playing field. But also, Shura believes in giving demons lots of space. It usually worked out for the best that way.

So the text definitely gives her some Mixed Feelings. She saw his heart before he died, and that was weird and gross and kinda overly intimate. That was weirder than seeing the rest of his broken body.]

don't worry about it

[just forget about it please, she can't handle him getting nice or sentimental]

[meinwaifu]

[Mephisto stares at the message for a good few minutes, having not really expected much else. Shura was his closest connection to home, and the last reminder he had of his life before the Storm. Perhaps it was for the best that their relationship never change...]

[But right now, Mephisto wasn't exactly in the right state of mind to just let the conversation drop, even if he's not sure how to continue it without appearing too off or desperate. Which is why the reply, simple as it it, finally comes nearly ten minutes later.]

Then I won't.

[exaomori]

[something's wrong here

She knows he's probably a mess after all that happened. Shura might not appreciate Mephisto that much on a good day, but she's been around him long enough.

Ugh. This was too complicated.]

that's good

[ here lies a photo of JJ in a pair of bright green boxer briefs

there is no text to offer any context ]

[exaomori]

[underwhelms]

where did you buy them?

[exaomori]

buy them? i got them free

[underwhelms]

what? why?

[exaomori]

cause I'm cute

[underwhelms]

im cute too though
are you sure you didn't steal them?

misfire, un: flashgoddess

[catfident]

You did well today but next time I expect you to thrust harder.

[exaomori]

Oh? I didn't know u liked it that rough ❤️ I'll remember it for next time ❤️❤️❤️

[catfident]

[ ....That's weird. She doesn't remember Yusuke using so many heart emojis in his text before. ]

Of course it's better rough. How else are you meant to kill someone?

[ with....your thrusts.... ]

[exaomori]

[yusuke needs to up his texting game]

what if I only want to give them a little death?

[catfident]

[ Well that's just ridiculous. ]

Do you want to take these lessons seriously or not? I don't enjoy wasting my time.

[exaomori]

I promise I'll take my thrusting more seriously but I may need another demonstration of ur personal technique

[surely she'll figure it out from that... right...]

1/2

[catfident]

[ Yusuke would never be so plebian as to contract 'your' into 'ur', this is clearly not Yusuke. ]
