And the others too!<br/><strong>WEARING:</strong>Outfit Style /  (https://i.imgur.com/Nd3Hh2W.jpg)Clothes (https://i.imgur.com/uoLXUhv.jpg)<br/><hr/><br/>“Hm?”  Mallory gave a momentary look towards the path ahead, as what appeared to have been a portal, appeared. Before she could even think as to what it was, there stood Ryusei, still as tall and imposing, yet equally soft spoken and kind. While Kevin had been her friend since childhood, Ryusei had been her friend ever since joining SOPHE, and she couldn’t be more thankful for meeting someone like him. He was different, a hybrid, but that hadn’t stopped her from befriending the man, and the two had been close friends ever since. While she knew that he felt different, felt at odds with his identity of being half human, half demon, Mallory never saw it as something bad.<br/><br/>It just made him unique, and unique was always interesting.<br/><br/>Though, hearing how Ryusei had a minor incident happen earlier made her frown a bit, but not at her friend. She knew by his body language and tone when something certain had happened, and surely, it had happened again; someone that didn’t seem to understand that there were hybrids, which wasn’t bad.  “It’s always good to see you, Ryusei.”  A smile graced Mallory’s lips at seeing her friend, her demeanor having changed for the moment; it always nice to see Ryusei, especially when he got to go out and just be, well, ‘normal’. “You’re looking casual for a change; didn’t feel like taking a jog while you were out?”  Just like his dad, Ryusei trained to be peak physical condition, but Mallory couldn’t help but give a teasing remark.<br/><br/>She was the one that looked after his training progress after all, along with Leasick. And Kevin.<br/><br/>Mm, now she was thinking back to what she had said, her gaze glancing towards Kevin. He couldn’t help doing so, and felt uneasy when she had. He looked pensive, almost out of place. It made her heart hurt again, and she glanced away, unsure of the next course of action between the two.<br/><br/>“Huh?”  Her attention was brought by a voice calling to them, as her brown eyes turned to look towards where Ryusei was waving, seeing Lily, Nerissa, Albion, and Leasick. Toshiro was even there as well, but a bit away from the others; he seemed to have been relaxing in his own for the time being. Though Mallory couldn’t help but wonder why he was here; she didn’t remember hearing that he would be going with them. “Mm, I guess we’re the late ones.”  That was a first, though, Mallory had her reasons for being late...<br/><br/>The good thing was that Ryusei already knew about Kyless; the others were going to be a different story. Walking over to stand next to Ryusei, she gestured for Kyless to follow her. She couldn’t help but feel odd, not having Kevin next to her. She was so used to it, and always expected it when they were together. Not being near him felt off...<br/><br/>“It’s time for you to meet the others, and then we can get to this. Hopefully it won’t take too long.”  Making their way to the others, Mallory turned to Ryusei, her smile coming back, though, it didn’t seem natural. Forced, trying to mask her hesitance of what had happened prior, she turned back to the others that had been waiting on them.<br/><br/>“Hope you guys weren’t waiting too long.”  Mallory gave an apologetic looks to the small group, though, now their group was much bigger. Her gave turned to Kyless, motioning for the demoness to be at attention for the moment, “This is Kyless. She’s going to be working with us on the mission.”  She wasn’t sure how much information she could give to the others, as SOPHE was still keeping her a secret.  “So, how exactly do we want to do this? I was thinking we could split up into groups, at least that would make this go by faster, I think...”  Honestly, Mallory wasn’t sure how this was going to work, but she did know that she would have to stay with Kyless.
