[Despite how big (but not too big) the Villa is, Maka always knows exactly who belongs there and who doesn't. It's just something one gains from being a house owner.

Well, that and sensing the hum of souls at all times helps too.

So seeing an unfamiliar (yet somehow very very familiar) woman causes her to pause and tilt her head.]

Hello. Can I help you?

[openminded]

[ Well. Here is a young lady she hadn't met yet. Yuri looks up at the girl as she speaks to her, a little surprised at first, but then she smiles and tilts her head to the side a little. ]

I'm quite all right, thank you.

[ She fidgets a little. Everything was still surreal to her. But she probably needed to start being social if this was going to be her home for the next however long, right? She stands, offering a hand to the young lady. ]

Yuri Egin! I'm a ... friend of Rin's, I guess you could say. I also became acquainted with Death the Kid earlier, as well. It's nice to meet you.

[heartandsoul]

Oh! Really?

[Excited!!!]

It's always great to meet more people from Rin's world. Kid's a friend from my world, ah...sorry for any difficulties he might have caused with his behavior. He can't really help that.

[Maka, the lady gave you her name. She tugs on one of her pigtails, laughing sheepishly.]

It's nice to meet you, Yuri, I'm Maka Albarn. I, um, don't know if Rin mentioned me to you at all, but I'm his girlfriend.

[openminded]

[ Resist. All urges. To squee like a fangirl at this news. Her baby boy has a girlfriend in this place? This is exciting! BUT, she keeps herself calm despite this. Didn't want to scare the young lady away now, do we? ]

It's nice to meet you, Maka! He didn't mention it at all, actually.

[ She laughs a little, sheepishly. ]

We kind of had a bit of an awkward meeting. Back in our world, our relationship is kind of ...

[ Nonexistent? ]

... Complicated.

[heartandsoul]

[You ever get one of those stares where it feels like someone knows exactly what you're thinking?

It's coming from Maka right now. She's curious, too, of course. But her curiosity is driving her towards certain amounts of perception.]

Well...that's nothing some time together wouldn't fix. I know that's what I would do, anyway.

[Unless it was her father.]

[openminded]

Well, I certainly hope so ... but for the time being, it is most definitely awkward.

[ She definitely wanted to spend more time with Rin and Yukio ... and get to know her boys better. She wanted to take the opportunity she never had back in their own world to actually be a mother to them ... but from the looks of things, they might not need their mother anymore. Both of them were so grown up already ... ]

[heartandsoul]

Rin's a kind person. He doesn't hold things against you even if it does feel awkward at first, I guarantee it that he wants to spend time with you and get to know you too.

[openminded]

[ She smiles warmly at Maka. She had a good head on her shoulders, from what she could tell of her. ]

I think it will get better, yes. But thank you, Maka. Hearing that from someone who knows him so well really helps me feel better about it all.

[heartandsoul]

Well...you're his mom, it has to get b--

[heartandsoul]

[Oh.




Oops.]



Um...

[openminded]

[ Oh. Well. She hit that nail on the head, didn't she? Yuri laughed a little, awkwardly. ]

It seems my cover's blown, isn't it?

[ Yes, let's try to shake this off and not make it any more awkward than it is. ]

[heartandsoul]

Well...I kind of cheated.

I mean, you look like Rin and Yukio, so of course I'm going to get that vibe from you no matter what but, uhh...I have the ability to see a person's soul. So I...peeked at yours? I'm sorry, I should have asked first.
