[He always has room to judge. Besides--GOSH YOU GUYS JUST MET AND ALREADY MAKING OUT.

ON THE COUCH.

IN PUBLIC.

Disconcertingly failing to answer Night's question, he regards him as he answers Liz:] Indeed we do. Night is a friend from before your residency at the Villa.

[This time around, anyway.]

[NO NO WE WEREN'T WE WERE JUST TAKING A NAP

He's never been so flustered before in his life, this is the worst.

So he'll just be standing up now to... try... and escape...]

Ye-Yeah, it's been awhile! But you know I think I have things to do so I'm gonna go... do those things. [Awkward awkward awkWARD]

[ Wow Kid thanks look you're scaring him away WHY DO THE PEOPLE IN HER LIFE KEEP SCARING AWAY ALL THE GUYS. ]

No. Night, sit down, it's fine. You were the cat, right? I know someone like that from home! She can turn into a cat, I mean. Or well, she's a cat who can turn human, I guess. Never really... figured that one out.

As for you, Kid...

[ 8| 8| 8| ]

You're thinking things you probably shouldn't be thinking, aren't you.

[ SHE KNOWS YOU. ]

[oh no

Kid steps forward, which turns slightly menacing as his polite expression remains unchanging, his direction kind of... ushering Night away from the exit. He extends a hand.]

Not at all. Congratulations are likely in order.

[oh wow that grip -- if it even seizes Night's hand -- sure is a little tight]

If you hurt my Weapon, however, I can't promise it'll go easy for you.

[KID STOP]

Y-Yeah, I was- Really? That's pretty cool... [He doesn't know who to focus his attention on- Liz trying to fix the situation or Kid sending him really uncomfortable vibes. It sends the fur on his tail on edge.

When Kid steps forward Night steps back, hitting the arm of the couch.]

Wh-

[Oh God that's his hand- Oh God

His voice squeaks.] Wh-What...?!

[ HIDING FACE IN HANDS OH MY GOD KID NO WHY

caution: incoming pillow aimed directly at a certain striped head ]

Kid that's not it at all!

[ OH MY GOD WHY ]

[That cushion bounces right off the side of Kid's head, which has the desirable effect of distracting him, resulting in the release of Night's hand in favor of smoothing down the hair left disheveled by the impact of the pillow.]

Privacy, then? Very well, I'll leave you to it.

But please have the courtesy of taking this somewhere more discreet than the living room.

[He's going to leave. ...After he puts this pillow back where it belongs.]

I... [He doesn't know what to say, too stunned for coherency. Was this really happening?]

We... We were just... [Just cuddling. How did this happen?

Night takes a seat on the couch and catches a glance at Liz, sending his face back into a red flusterfuck of embarrassment.]

[ She may or may not have disappeared. Or at least, her normal image has disappeared. There's definitely a gun just laying there on the couch, though, and a low whine comes from it. ]

I'm so sorry.

[... Huh.

He can't help but stare, more curious than anything that she can turn into a gun.]

... It's alright. I guess it did get kinda outta hand, huh... [He reaches behind him to pat down his tail, which he usually kept hidden under his shirt, but was now puffed up and sticking out from under the fabric. So much for keeping it secret.]

He cares about you a lot. That's good to have in a friend, even if their intentions are over the top.

[ Oh no she wants to touch the tail look at it he has a tail. ]

He's just a little... I mean you'd think with having two significant others he'd start catching on when people are actually having a moment together. Sometimes I think I underestimate just how little he really knows about these sorts of things.

[ Congratulations Night you're holding a conversation with a gun. ]

[It is very fluffy right now.]

I guess I can understand, though... I mean I've only been around humans for so long and even now I'm learning something new every day.

I'm sure he'll learn sooner or later, especially with Rin and Maka helping him.

[He gives her a smile, not quite sure if she can see it but oh well.]

I hope so, because I can't keep having him making these assumptions about my love life.

[ Or lack thereof.

It takes her a few more seconds to compose herself but eventually she's back and she pauses. ]

...Not that I'm offended by the assumption. I mean, you're certainly easy on the eyes.

Haahh... [His face flushes again, but not as severely as before.

But his tail is puffy again. Dang.]

Thanks... You're, uh. You're quite beautiful too, you know. [Fluster fluster.] ... Sorry. Does that sound strange?

[ ehehe look at it it's so fluffy ]

Mmm... not at all! A girl likes to hear that now and then, y'know.

[ Alright time to cute it up. Maybe get him to keep blushing because that is just precious. ]

...Y'know, I'm still cold.

H-Huh? [Well she's doing a good job of it because that blush isn't dying down at all.]

I- Well, I guess... We can continue... [He almost mutters that last part, ready for Kid to pop out again and stare him down with that dangerous vibe.]

Good.

[ Because she actually was. Cold, that is. This whole thing was sort of awful, really. She wasn't exactly fond of sweaters in July.

But Liz shifts, swinging her legs up onto the couch again before stretching out, laying her head down on his leg before he can see the pink tinting her cheeks.

Always have to put forward a confident air! ]

[He doesn't know what to do with himself, but she seems happy and that's what matters, right?

He swallows and set a light hand on her shoulder, leaning back into the couch to get comfortable.]

So, ah... How long have you known Kid?

[ oh warm hand that's nice ]

Mm... not as long as you would think, but it feels like forever. Like nothing matters from before my sister and I met him. We're his weapons, as I... imagine you gathered.

[ From Kid basically threatening him to take good care of her god damnit Kid ]

Yeah, I think I got the hint. [He laughs softly.] So are you both guns? You an' your sister?

Yep! That's why Kid wanted us. We're symmetrical. He was looking for a weapon for a long time, but none of them suited his needs until we came along.

[ She lets out a faint breath and, essentially, nuzzles into his lap, her eyes closing. ]

I think we all saved each other, a little bit.

You three must be quite a team. [He lets his head fall back against the couch cushions, staring up at the ceiling with half-lidded eyes.] It's funny how things work out like that.

Is your sister here with you?

No...

[ :( ]

I'd never been away from her for more than a day before I showed up here. It's been... a few months, now.

[ There's a hand resting on his leg, and the fingers there curl a little. ]

It's awful.

... I'm sorry.

[He can understand her pain, even just a little. Maybe not on the same level, but it's in the same range.]

Before I came here I was helping out an old friend... She had been in a lot of trouble, but I had to leave her for ten years before I could really help her. She saved my life a long time ago and... we were close.

I miss her. Especially when I'm here. It's both awful and frustrating.

That's hard.

[ Liz is happy that she at least has Kid here. If she were here without either of them, even having Maka around wouldn't be able to help. She rolls over onto her back then and looks up at him, curious. ]

...Is that when those marks on your back happened?
