[lionson]

[YEAH UH. After that shitshow, he is absolutely going looking for Rufus. Where can he find him?]

[soulus]

[He's outside the inn, looking more than content to be alone in the night. Boy, it would be great if nobody were to bother him. That would be so nice. This is the happiest he's felt all day.]

[lionson]

[Well he's not getting that tonight! Because yeah Shiro is going to go right up to him.]

Hey.

[soulus]

[Happiness is dead.

At least he doesn't look particularly upset as he glances at Shiro.]

Yes?

[lionson]

I know I wasn't the only one thinking it was you at the trial, but I was the one who pushed the whole demon stuff and made you admit to being one. So, sorry about that.

[soulus]

That's not something to apologize about. It's no secret that I'm not human.

[lionson]

No, but in the context of "a demon could have possessed someone and forced them to kill", that's probably not the best time to bring up someone being a demon if they're innocent.

[soulus]

There was no evidence to back your suggestion. It was nothing more than a guess based on your own experiences.

[lionson]

You're right, it was just a guess based on my own experiences.

And I should've been more careful. Luckily this time everyone was level-headed about it. But fear, that can control people. And things could've turned ugly.

That's what I'm apologizing for. For putting that risk on you when you didn't ask for it.

[soulus]

. . . If you want to apologize that much, how does a favor sound?

[lionson]

As long as it's not something ridiculous, then sure. What'd you need?

[soulus]

In the event I require treatment in the future, I would like to request your medical service.

[lionson]

Oh, yeah, I can do that. I never specified, but I'm not just a doctor for humans. I'm a doctor for demons too.

[soulus]

I'm not the type of demon who possesses humans.

[lionson]

That doesn't mean you don't need a doctor too.

[soulus]

No. That's why I'm requesting your service; however, I may not be the same as the demons you're accustomed to seeing.

[lionson]

Well, the demonic patient I usually see is a nekomata as big as a van, so I'd say there's quite a few differences already.

But that's fine. We can figure it out as it's needed.

[soulus]

Thank you.

If that's all . . .

[lionson]

I getcha, I'll leave you be now.

Week 0: Sunday

[soulus]

[Leaving the plaza, he heads to the bridge, where he arrives to find Shiro already there.]

Have you noticed any changes?

[lionson]

I can't summon anything here.

[Yep. Guess who didn't try until today.]

[soulus]

Our powers are sealed in the Realm.

[lionson]

They are, yeah.

[A pause.]

In my world, there's a contract people can sign. It swears everyone to secrecy about whatever the contract is for. It's a magic one too, so you drop dead the moment you blab.

I kinda wonder if that'd still have power here.

[soulus]

What use would a contract like that be here?

[lionson]

Ah, nah, I wouldn't use something like that here. But I wonder if old contracts would still be valid or not.

I guess it doesn't really matter one way or another.
