Stopping, he backtracked over to her before they stepped through his portal. "I had so much fun with you, in the ocean and on the sand. I'm gonna find a way we can spend time together again...if you want." He was a rising star within SOPHE, but his power at the moment only extended to battlefield situations, and talking to his parents. Maybe they'd be able to help him help Kyless. Boy, that was going to be an awkward conversation though. 'Hey mom, dad, I know Kyless used to be kinda evil and worked for VOID before she got captured by us and imprisoned and interrogated and experimented on...but she and I really hit it off and I was wondering if there was any way you could help her get some more privileges and outside time?' Yeah, he pictured that going swimmingly.<br/><br/> Maybe he could fight his dad and convince him to add some free time if he could last a certain amount of time? After they portaled to his courtyard, Kyless in her excitement wrapped her tail back around his arm, and that becoming familiar feeling of euphoria and general wellness and warmth spread throughout his body from her touch. All he needed was the dopey smile to make it all complete. She pulled him close, and he went along until he was pressed up behind her. The sadness was still in her voice as she thanked him for keeping the secret. She was well aware of the consequences if anyone else found out what they'd done and where they'd gone. "Kyless, no one is gonna keep me away from you. We're gonna find a way to spend time together. I promise." <br/><br/>She'd be able to hear that he meant what he said; he just hoped he could keep his promise sooner than later. With a quick motion, she reached into a bush and removed a small, fuzzy bug critter she called a "Glear". It sounded sort of familiar, like maybe he'd read it in one of his dad's books or he'd told him a story about them or that had them in it at one point. But he was taken back by how tiny and adorable it was. When Kyless deposited the tiny creature in the palm of his hand, he looked down with a smile as she told him about the species. "Wow. You know so much." Thinking about how they supposedly made things disappear forever, he wondered if that was why his dad had containers, chests, and lockers all over the place?<br/><br/> If Kyless could sense the Glear, then his father definitely could. Did he know they were here and just didn't bother them so they could have a safe place to sleep? With the softest of touches only earned through a life time of learning to control how his body moved, he rubbed the tiny things head. She was so cute. Then he turned back to the beautiful blue face and golden eyes of Kyless as she told him neither herself, nor the Glaer thought of him as dirty or a hybrid. That's right, she always called him a "Descendant". He still didn't know what the term fully meant, but it definitely sounded cooler than "Hybrid".<br/><br/> She told him the humans were wrong, and he shouldn't let them call him that. Not when he was so <em>pretty</em>. He didn't tear up, but he did take a moment to compose himself. Her words were simple, but they held a lot of weight for him. "It means a lot that you said that. Thank you. And I won't let them...not anymore." A bit of reassurance from someone whose opinion mattered was all you needed sometimes. Her tail tugged him again, and he smiled down at his demoness who just seemed to want him close. After placing the Glear back into her little leaflet cove, Kyless apologized that she was getting more things without giving back, but knew she needed clothes to keep the others from getting suspicious.<br/><br/> And even though she wanted to go back "outside" and not to the club, she seemed the type to keep her promises, and she'd made one to Toshiro that called for just that. "Don't worry about it. We'll find something you can trade later, but for now just spending time with you is enough for me." As he spoke, he looked her over and realized she was still dripping wet, and her dress was too. "Come on, we both need a shower. I'll get some outfits you can choose from when we're done." Reaching down and lacing his fingers with hers, he gently pulled her along and led her to the Master Bathroom where he showed her how the tub/shower combo worked, where the towels were; everything she'd need to get clean and dry.<br/><br/> He showered in his own room, and after drying off and spraying on some fragrance, he changed into an outfit he'd never had a chance to wear before, and he thought it would work perfect for the club. He also found a beanie with a demon stenciled on it, then pulled it down over his head. He took the extra time he had while Kyless was bathing to lay a few options out on the bed for her, but the one that stuck out the most was the red, white, and black dress (https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0030/6289/0531/products/Adyce-2019-New-Summer-Bodycon-Bandage-Dress-Women-Vestidos-Sexy-Strapless-Midi-Club-Dress-Runway-Celebrity_800x.jpg?v=1580655978) his mom had bought for a reunion and never wore again. Both his mother and the demon had similar builds and height, so he had no doubt she'd look amazing in the dress...but then again Kyless simply looked amazing in his eyes so maybe he had on rose lenses, but she'd be a killer tonight in that dress. While he waited for her to get done, his phone buzzed, then a text tone (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=duI-VImSH6o&amp;list=PLfr-1-UKgi3VBWjnYMOJdFTfCNM3z5VFN&amp;index=2&amp;pbjreload=101) started to play, one customized for Toshiro.<br/><br/> He asked if he was with Kyless, then told him he shouldn't be alone with her. Ryusei chuckled since they were well past that point already. <em>"Yeah. Someone spilled soda on my clothes so we came to my house to throw them in the wash. And we decided to get into our club outfits early, so she's still changing. Don't worry about her, she's harmless. Your bracelet saw to that."</em> He pushed send, then spent a few more minutes reading manga until the phone rang again, this time the doctor acting like a doting father asked how her nose was.<br/><br/> <em>"She's fine. She knows a lot about the demon world, but almost nothing about Earth culture. We've been teaching each other stuff. Her nose is really puffy and almost red. She sneezes all the time. I'm surprised it hasn't fallen off yet."</em> Send. Another few minutes went by, with Toshiro telling him to make sure she ate. Was he the scientist in charge of finding out more about Kyless, or her dad? Maybe both? Clearly Toshiro cared for the demon on some level, or else once he had confirmation she was okay he would have stopped texting.<br/><br/> Maybe he could talk to him directly about making things better for his new favorite lady? He'd have to be subtle, but he would explore every avenue; he owed her that much. Then right after, a string of dango emoji's popped up on his screen. "Who just keeps uneaten dango in the house like that? Does he think we're <em>savages</em>?" Shaking his head, he quickly fired back a final response. <em>"I'll get her a snack before we meet back up with you guys. We've got some chilled pear slices with some sugar soaked in. She might like those."</em> Now all he had to do was wait.<br/></span><br/>
