Casually scanning the room, keeping a passive watch on those present, the movement of Spike’s gaze came to a sudden halt at Hanyo’s words, to which his eyes were drawn back toward the succubus, expression initially quite unreadable. Although following Hanyo’s wink as she came to a natural pause, a small smile gradually emerged on his face.
”I don’t think that’s necessary.”
Responding simply, a slight smile of amusement still present on his face, Spike opted out of saying anything more; he’d grown used to Hanyo’s teasing and preferred to leave her speculating, especially considering how much it tended to unsettle Ryuu . Although Spike was inwardly relieved Ryuu had not yet returned as a result, this relief quickly faded as Hanyo persisted. Still looking to provoke a response, what was earlier implied now abundantly clear as Hanyo continued on, Spike’s calm demeanour faltered for an instant as he finished his drink and placed the empty glass on the bar before responding.
”...I bet you would.”
Hearing Hanyo’s smirk as he turned and reached for the whiskey bottle on the bar, Spike glanced back toward the succubus once he replenished his glass with the amber liquid. Lowering the bottle to the polished surface once again and taking a sip of his drink, Spike regarded Hanyo carefully as the succubus went on to speak of Himiko and laugh with amusement. Although as Hanyo moved to find herself something to drink from the selection available, Spike’s gaze had already settled on Ryuu whom had reappeared from the hallway and was rapidly moving across the room toward them, clearly she’d overheard at least some of what had been said and looked unusually annoyed as a result.

Seeing Ryuu approach and overhearing Hanyo’s words to IA during which, Spike gave a short sigh; at least the girl seemed unaware of Hanyo’s implications to her words and instead seemed content to continue eating, although he found the chance to criticise had passed as Ryuu quickly voiced her concerns over Hanyo’s choice of topic. Eyes widening, Spike quickly glanced back at one of the tables on the other side of the room to find Kari and Lillith were still very much present and eating quietly, keeping their heads down due to the current conversation, to which Spike felt a slight twinge of guilt as they clearly could have overheard all that was said. Yet once Ryuu calmed following her polite rebuke at Hanyo for her choice of words, Spike could not help but notice she shied away from his gaze for a moment, unusually flustered. With a twinge of concern lingering at the back of his mind as a result, Spike observed Ryuu’s approach carefully; much as it was highly distracting just to watch her light-footed progress as she drifted toward the bar where he stood, the short kimono complimenting every additional curvature created by her movement.

Leaning slightly downward to listen as Ryuu spoke in a hushed voice, Spike regarded her once again before responding; her posture was slightly tense and voice lightly strained, but the look in Ryuu’s eyes alone was enough to convince him something had deeply unsettled her, although what exactly that might have been wasn’t entirely clear. Nodding with a calm smile, Spike reasoned Ryuu certainly had handled her reaction a lot better than he did the first time Hanyo made teasing remarks, to which he reached across to smooth a number of loose strands of hair away from Ryuu’s face as he responded in an equally lowered voice.
”A lot better than I did the first time around.”
Smirking somewhat at this, Spike turned slightly to lower his glass to the bar as Ryuu spoke on, to which he glanced back at Kari and Lilith for several seconds before giving a slight shrug and a smile.
”She probably will since I’m betting her kid will be getting tired soon...”
When Ryuu spoke on however, Spike’s expression grew somewhat troubled, although more through the worry evident in Ryuu’s voice as she trailed off, to which he paused and looked at her for several seconds.
” What’s wrong with cutting loose?
Placing his hand lightly on Ryuu’s back as she stepped closer, Spike could see the worry evident on Ryuu’s face during the seconds that passed before she hurriedly changed the subject to cooking, to which he gave a slightly puzzled nod and a smile as she reached up to drape her arms around his neck.
”Sure.”
When Ryuu leaned closer to kiss his cheek, Spike carefully enclosed his arms around her, gently supporting her petite frame as he gazed at her with a look of concern; although saying nothing, his expression remained questioning. What’s wrong? Pausing for several seconds to look upon her, Spike reasoned he would need to query this more directly, but not in the presence of others as Ryuu was clearly attempting to conceal her discomfort, which meant the kitchen may be the safest bet as and when they ventured on to prepare more food for those present.

Spike came out of these contemplations however upon hearing IA’s voice clearly a short distance away, to which he glanced from Ryuu and across the room, his voice returning to its usual volume as he queried IA’s interest in spacecraft repair, unaware of the arrangement she made with Ryuu earlier.
”Crashed spaceship? Are you talking about the Bebop? Why the sudden interest?”

Folding his arms with a bemused expression, Jet gave a slow nod at Adrien’s explanation as Rin went on to elaborate in her own unique way, to which Jet’s gaze alternated between the two as Adrien openly contemplated fabricating a cage for Rin’s comfort. The notion this could be comforting, even to a being as unusual as Rin, was strangely bizarre, although at the same time, it begged the question as to why the humanoid creature was so accustomed to being kept in a cage to begin with. There likely was a very good reason, however placid the multi-featured being appeared, although she did not have a cage to reside within on Adrien’s ship, which clearly meant she could well have quite an unpleasant history. Coupled with the origins of Adrien’s ship giving him cause for concern, Jet’s focus was abruptly jolted back on task, much as this would still remain very much a social visit as he could not help but find himself liking Adrien’s openly free-spirited nature.

Whilst conversing with Rin, Adrien presently rose to her feet and after petting her animal-like comrade in a reassuring manner, she wasted no time in going directly for the sake Jet placed on the dresser and pouring some of the liquid into the small ochoko whilst Rin spoke on.
”Well you’re safe here, I can promise you that much.”
Jet almost added ‘for the moment’ to his comment directed at Rin, whom beamed somewhat at announcing her intention for self-sufficiency; giving her any cause for doubt was likely not the best of ideas, in any case it was unlikely anything could top recently past events in terms of severity for the immediate moment. Yet Rin seemed unphased and after further communication from Adrien, Rin then cheerily bounded out of the room and into the hallway, rapidly fading out of sight along with the sound of her chains rattling about.

With a short chuckle of amusement and a smile, Jet looked back toward Adrien as she raised her cup of sake, to which he reached down to retrieve his cup and do the same, presently downing the warmed substance in a similar manner before exhaling quietly; the sake was exceptionally pleasant, something he had not quite expected. Too many years of sub-standard rations had dulled his optimism with all food and drink until recently. Although he was inwardly surprised to hear Adrien volunteer to show him around her ship, to which he paused whilst pouring more sake into the two cups and smiled jokingly.
”Well, I’ll show you mine if you show me yours.”
Pouring the second cup of sake, Jet chuckled, although joking aside he had no qualms with showing Adrien the Bebop, it was still grounded in any case as repairs were still ongoing. It certainly wasn't a technical showcase either, especially with the electronics still under heavy repair and the computer system was still only just running from an outdated backup. Raising his cup of sake from the dresser, Jet paused and glanced back toward the doorway where Rin had exited the room.
"I guess that means cage-building can be taken off the to-do-list, which makes finishing this bottle of sake the priority now."

***

Flinching slightly upon hearing an excited howl from Edward back in the Sitting Room, Faye gave a wearied sigh; clearly the child had located Ein and it almost evoked a sense of pity for the canine, almost. With this in mind and Nolan’s reply, Faye simply slouched at contemplating children being anything other than a nuisance.
”I’d just stick with that first part.”
Hearing Nolan also knew little details about Spike, Faye simply scoffed and averted her gaze in annoyance.
“That’s because he just doesn’t communicate, I’ve known him for quite a while and I still don’t really know anything about him. Damn lunkhead. ”
Grumbling somewhat at the thought, Faye had always found it irritating that Spike was so evasive when it came to talking about himself, all she knew was what she pieced together from hearing fragments from Jet and the relatively recent troubles concerning the Red Dragon Syndicate that had been publicised on the news. Although Faye merely shrugged at this and continued on.
”Bounty hunting isn’t anywhere near as glamorous or easy-going as people make it out to be. It’s such a thankless task working with them especially, I’m just casting my pearls before swine.”
Huffing somewhat, Faye knew this wasn’t entirely true but she always felt as though neither Jet nor Spike took her all that seriously or trusted her; yet since she had a tendency to steal from them periodically, it wasn’t perhaps so surprising. At this point Nolan confirmed the feline was not only his companion, but his name was also Amano, to which Faye cast a curious gaze toward the feline as Nolan scratched his ears. Certain she may have seen a flicker of resentment in the cat’s eyes at being petted, Faye barely stifled a chuckle as she reached toward the feline and ran her slender hand along Amano’s back, pausing only to accept the joint from Nolan once again and lean back away from the feline to take a long drag herself, to which she was certain the feline seemed to be watching her unusually closely as she did so.
”I guess you wouldn’t notice, but your cat sure does like to stare.”
Looking toward Nolan as she passed the joint back to him once again, sudden movement caught Faye’s eye as the pale-haired woman whom appeared earlier that evening re-emerged from the garden and stormed past them with the same speed she used earlier to avoid Spike. At this point the effects of smoking such a substance had just started to catch up with Faye, to which she watched the woman vanish once again, simply blinking slowly before looking back at Nolan.
”...That woman who arrived earlier really has a lot of energy...”
Settling down once again, Faye’s eyebrows rose as Rin then bounded out from the back door, the metal links from her chains still making some noise as she then seated herself much like Amano, peering up at both Nolan and herself with an oddly optimistic expression. Recalling Rin's loud introduction from earlier, Faye paused before smiling at her, the being's mannerisms both animal-like and strangely endearing for their innocent appearance. Although Rin’s unusual features seemed all the more bizarre to Faye at this point, to which she was more intrigued than unsettled by her staring, most likely as a result of what she'd been smoking, to which her voice sounded slightly more airy than usual also.
”Hey, there. Out exploring already?”

Lady Hanyo leaned against the wall, apparently at ease.

"Sorry Miss Ryuu, Spike." she called to their retreating backs. "All in good fun, you know."

Lady Hanyo crossed her arms across her torso, the picture of nonchalance.
"Fine, fine. I'll zip my lips and be a good girl. For now." She gave a wink in Himiko's direction, her insinuation plain.

The sight of Himiko's brilliant flush only made the succubus' smirk widen into an almost wicked sneer. "Now Little Mouse," she said, referring to Himiko, "you've been quiet all this time. Are you tired? Why not go lie down for a while?"

Himiko, still a brilliant pink, nodded and made to walk past Lady Hanyo into the hall. The petite woman let out a squeal as the succubus smacked her rear as she passed, saying "This kitten will come a-hunting later, Little Mouse." Lady Hanyo chortled to herself as Himiko practically flew out of the room in apparent embarrassment. Or was it excitement? Hard to tell...

IA felt a bit full so she decided to stop eating, She collected the plates she ate on and placed it there and planed to return it herself later. After hearing Spikes response somewhere not very far from this room " Bebop? " IA paused for awhile to think as she poured sake once again to her glass and drank it straight. " I guess you haven't heard, I'm the new mechanic..." she paused for a bit then smiled. " I'm a Living program too! " she chuckled.

IA stood up and took the plates where she ate from and brought it to the Kitchen, Knowing that there might be people Inside she decided to knock, but her hands were full so she knocked by her knees then slowly sliding the door the door by her feet. " Oh, sorry I just thought I should return these plates , Its kind of...allot" She placed the dishes on the sink and quickly cleaned them properly.

Since he had passed the joint the last time, Nolan was rolling another smaller one with his left hand. As he sprinkled the stuff on the paper and rolled it across the table, he listened to Faye explain a bit more about bounty hunting. She explained it as thankless and tough. Though they seemed to get out alright. Must have had to kill a few people and a bunch of space ship chases and fights with crazy a** psychic fat guys and s**t. Ah how exciting. Oh what he would give to have his sight back and go off on a head hunt.
Out of all this he was thinking that she was saying that Spike was laziest and that she, herself worked harder than everyone else. it just made him chuckle.
" Does sound fun to me though. If I could see I'd probably do something like that just once at least. " He imagined himself as some badass dude jumping from building top to building top, chasing some dirt-bag on the streets below and then pouncing on him with his scythe.

Nolan shook his head. " got lost in my own little world again. " he just caught the end of the bit about his cat liking to stare. " oh yeah I wouldn't know.....why you being so quiet dude?" he asked Amano

Amano arched his back up as Faye ran her hand across his back. He did favor women over men. And he favored anybody over Nolan. Maybe except the Mistress in which for some reason he did not like.

She then said something about one of the guests about having a lot of energy. It seemed he still had quite a few people to meet. Sometimes he hated being blind and only ever knowing only half of what was going on.

He then heard Faye start talking to someone other than them. 'hey there out exploring already?'
" huh? We got someone else here?" He asked kindly. " tell em to pull up a chair."
As he spoke he passed the smaller joint over to Amano who took it in his paw rather greedily. He put it in his mouth and the thing just seemed to light by itself and he took a long drag and exhaled the smoke.
" Bout time."

Zelic has not replied to my pm so I am calling for Himiko's removal. Sorry, but it must be done... Hanyo, do you think there is something you could whip up? I give you permission to mod her unless you would like me to think of something. That is fine with me also.

((permanent removal or temporary? I can work with either, Lady Hanyo can bite her and either kill her or incapacitate her.))

The little creature took heart in Faye's reassuring smile. Still, she avoided looking at Nolan. Rin's wings perked up and she raised her right hand and pointed at the cat.

"Rin follow fuzzy" she said to the nice lady.

When Nolan spoke, Rin turned automatically and looked up at him, her hand falling back down to clutch the chain at her neck in nervousness. She made eye contact and stared at his strangely blank, milky eyes. She had never seen anything like it. Not that she had really seen much of the world. He smelled funny. He looked eerie. He had this strange, unsettling aura around him that Rin was naturally afraid of, but also insanely curious about.

"Rin not know chair." she said after a long, slightly awkward silence. She pointed again at the cat. "This chair?" she asked. She gestured inside, where she presumed Ein still was lurking about. "That Corgi. Dog Corgi...... then... this chair?" she asked, returning her extended index finger to the cat. Her wide eyes flickered between Nolan's intriguing blank ones and Faye's kinder, warm ones.

Honestly Zelic never even opened my pm so while I'm fine with Martin randomly about, if Zelic isn't going to be here regularly then Himiko needs to go permanently.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

Looking up from Rin and turning in the direction she pointed, Faye’s gaze settled back on Amano for some seconds before she slouched slightly where she sat, eyes slightly unfocused as he smile broadened slightly in amusement.
”Following the fuzzies? Well you made a good choice with the quieter one.”
Faye then watched with a passive interest as Nolan began to roll another joint, albeit considerably smaller than the first; her expression soured slightly however at the mention of bounty hunting being anything other than hard work. There were of course pros and cons, but Faye could never quite describe bounty hunting as fun, even if there were some enjoyable perks to that line of work, they were few and far between.
“Well, I suppose it can be and it does allow a lot of freedom since you’re never in one place all that long. Maybe you should tag along sometime, you could be lookout.”
Smirking at this, Faye paused with a quizzical expression as Nolan seemed to question his feline companion’s behaviour before indirectly greeting Rin also, to which she gave a calm hum.
”Yeah, one of the newcomers has decided to join us outside for some adventuring of her own.”
Retaining an amused smile as Nolan spoke with Rin, Faye’s eyes widened slightly as Amano almost snatched away the smaller joint from Nolan with his paw, placing it in his mouth with murmurings of impatience, yet they were clearly words and not just sounds, to which Faye looked moderately confused for some seconds. In spite of the building effects of what she’d been smoking, Faye could tell something was out of place, but with her current mental state was uncertain how to address the matter.
”That would be a cat...a talking cat?
Meeting Rin’s gaze and pointing toward the feline, Faye then glanced back at Nolan with a perplexed expression, even unseen, her tone of voice spoke volumes as she presently glanced toward Amano in turn also.
”You aren’t messing with me are you? Because if you are...”
Displaying an annoyed face that came across as more comical than angry, Faye looked over Amano as if expecting him to be some kind of puppet as she raised her hand and swept it through the air just above the feline, as though checking for wires. Blinking, Faye lowered her hand as she looked back at Rin, the wide-eyed look on the unusual creature’s face enough to soften Faye’s expression into a vague smile once again whilst she reached toward the empty seat alongside her and patted the surface lightly.
”This, is a chair. Did you want to sit with us?”

***

At this point, Edward could periodically be seen skittering from beneath one table to another in an almost lizard-like manner, Ein however had already lost interest and the redhead seemingly had failed to notice the canine was no longer amongst the tables. The corgi had opted to settle close-by to the kitchen door, not exceptionally hungry as he was well-fed of late and instead merely lay on the floor with a relaxed yawn as he watched Edward chortle to herself and scamper from beneath one table to the next. Mercifully Edward seemed to be causing no disturbance besides perhaps slight surprise for anyone she may have appeared next to when she emerged from beneath random tables, although she did cause the portion of the table by Kari and Lilith to shudder slightly and presently brushed past Hanyo's leg as she emerged from beneath the table once again.
"Soooo many feet."
Looking up as Himiko squealed and scuttled out the room, Edward looked puzzled for an instant before the food on the table caught her eye again, to which the child reached across the table and plucked a roll of sushi from the plate and swallowed it in one bite.

OOC: That's a pity we're going to lose Himiko but its cool we'll still have Martin lurking. Nice one with the editing Hanyo.

Nolan paused for a moment to focus on the odd girl sitting down on the ground near them. He had detected a rather strange soul tagging along with one of the new women. This must of been her. Artificially created souls were indeed strange but not an uncommon thing among necromancers. Especially those who liked to use humunculi. Still they always had that 'off' aura about them. Judging from her voice it sounded female and as much as he hated to say it, kinda ignorant. Not really in the mean way but as in she still had a lot to learn which caused him to think she was a recent creation of somebodies. Her chair bit was as cute as it was confusing to him but he was sure Faye got the full picture.
" no no sweetie just sit like the rest of us." He said getting up and sitting back down on the chair for full effect.

Amano just looked at him weird and puffed on his joint again.

Nolan chuckled when he heard that he could be look out. That was a joke he had heard many a time but still funny. " more like guess out" he put his hand over his eyes as if blocking the sun out of his eyes and peering out into the distance. " I guess.....nobody is comming....hehe. Anyway yeah i was curious about her. She a little girl or something cuz I am not putting this joint away now." Their joint was about gone though.

When asked if they were messing with her, which they kind of were, Amano just let out a " Mraow?" and puffed on his joint again, blinking at her with his wide yellow eyes.

Nolan chuckled and held the joint that Faye and himself were smoking. " Some good stuff eh?"

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx`~ I'm the ******** Slayer ~ `


Rolling her eyes a bit at the beastgirl, Adrien chuckled at her constant use of her own name. Looking to Jet reassure her she was safe as the Slayer had said before she would protect her, Rin still made gestures to which Adrien interpreted she felt more comfortable enclosed. Why? She didn't really question it and shrugged instead, "It's fine, I'll build you one." Just before Rin made a clanking exit, Adrien called out to her, "Don't break anything, Rin!"

As Jet looked to her with a smile, they drank and shared in equal satisfaction from the sake. His witty comeback to her offer to show him her ship, Adrien raise an eyebrow at him with a smirk and brushed back her platinum hair exposing more of the pink underneath. "Yeah? I'm down, big boy. I'm sure you could show me a thing or two," watching Jet pour the next round of sake shots, "Cheers," she said before downing the warm rice wine.

Leaning up against the dress Adrien sighed and crossed her arms over her chest after setting her sake cup on the dresser. "Well not necessarily.. I still want to go get some scrap metal. Scottie can handle most of the building, so let's go get that over with," Adrien wouldn't let on, but she really did care if Rin was comfortable. On the ship it was pretty cramped anyway so the beastgirl never complained sleeping in the bottom bunk. Rising from the dresser, Adrien motioned Jet to follow as she emerged into the hallway, boots thumping from her powerful steps toward the Sitting Room. Coming into view, Adrien glimpsed the owners near the bar and a young woman seemed tired walking down the hall to a room.

The sliding door to the backyard was open so Adrien stepped outside without announcing her leave to those in the Sitting Room. There was a group seated around a table outside and Rin was sitting with them, it was sweet really and the gorgeous babe from earlier was offering a chair to her. "We'll be back later," she called over to them and waved two fingers once. Turning toward the Daughntliis in the short distance there was a figure moving rather quickly and the lights from the lanterns showed the platinum blond she had first met earlier, "Hey Snow White! Where you goin' in a hurry? You didn't tell me your name, you know. Ruuuude," laughing, Adrien was feeling pretty good from the shots and sake.

As Spike gave her a calm smile, his touch from smoothing back some loose strands of her hair gave her light goosebumps on her neck and arms. His reassurance that she handled the situation of Hanyo's taboo conversation well and their guests current status made Ryuu feel a bit more secure in how the night was going. Although, when those chocolate eyes of his turned up to gaze at her, with her recent thoughts of past lovers, her light pink orbs once again shied any as he ask her what was wrong with cutting loose. "I don't know..." she spoke low and not confident in her answer so she decided to change the subject to something of a lighter note. Spike had been helping Ryuu in the kitchen with Jet sometimes and she always enjoyed having people around her as she prepared food, especially her dearest. The young jorogumo's heart squeezed for a moment trying to feel comfort in his gentle caress of her lower back.

Parting from the contact of her kiss, their eyes connected and the worried look in Spike's most handsome face gripped her. He could see her discomfort and that fact scared her, but could only give him a small smile and lightly rub his shoulder in response. His face full of questioning, Ryuu straightened herself and looked off to the wall of Mistress' memorial gifts. Leaning into Spike with a soft sigh of sweet breath as she brought Spike closer from the side as his attention turned to the light pink haired IA. Looking at all the purple notes, a single tear dripped down her cheek as she leaned her head lightly on top of dark brunette hair. Missing her sister so much, Ryuu heart squeezed so tightly she thought she might burst into tears... the quiet grace of Mistress was overlooked by many. Humans that resided at Blooming Lotus rarely even gained the knowledge of the deceased jorogumo's demon blood. She was able to hide it so well and with so much confidence and poise. Ryuu suddenly felt like she couldn't take the pain anymore as her eyes glossed over.

Moving slowly from Spike's embrace, as the conversation between him and IA had been a blur to her ears. Not able to even look at him, the jorogumo's hand slipped from his shoulder and ended the contact between them and headed for the front door. Careful to avoid eye contact with anyone in the sitting room, Ryuu opened the front door quietly and stepped out into the night air. Ryuu closed the door behind her and as soon as a breeze pulled up messing her loose bun around she let her tears flow like the waterfall. The stone steps cold on her feet making them numb to any pain she might feel descending. Silently weeping, Ryuu was so incredibly frightened of the future and what it held for her and all those that resided in Blooming Lotus. There was no way that she could tell if when she woke up tomorrow she would be the same person she was when her sister was alive. Her big sister was her mentor and most beloved person in her heart... now that she was gone it felt strangely empty. The only thing she could still feel was real was Spike's love and compassion for her deep in her heart. Everything else was like a blur, a hazy blur of things that she knew mixed with new entities that she hadn't encountered before. The Inn had always been a busy place full of people, but after the battle with Scratch... all the emotion she was concealing during the reconstruction was just now bubbling to the surface, but she made no noise as her face full of sadness was wet and chilled over in the night air. Her chest heaving with pain as her heart felt like it was going to rip from between her supple breasts.

Rin, following suit, clamored ungracefully up into the chair and plopped down on her backside with a small huff. She gave a shy smile at Faye, happy to have understood. She reached out and pointed again at Amano.

"This not chair. " she said definitively. "Then, what? Is nice? Rin like nice. Rin like fuzzy. Hello, fuzzy." she said to him, holding out her palm as if asking to pat his head. She made no question about the joint in the cat's mouth, nor its ability to speak. For all she knew, this was normal cat behavior. She had never seen a cat before.

Her eyes, however, followed the joint as it was passed between them. Apparently this object was something to be shared. Yet no one offered it to Rin. This didn't offend the creature, as she was unused to any social norms anyway. That, and she didn't want to impose. Naiive and innocent though she was, she wasn't stupid or ignorant. She had a natural sense of what it is to be rude, and had it engrained in her psyche not to step on any toes.

"Good... stuff?" She repeated. Rin liked things that were labeled as 'good'. This meant not painful or harmful. Stuff, however, was a vague word. What was this stuff he meant? The thing they were sharing? The weather? The company? The atmosphere? Rin herself?
