THIS IS OUR HOME, WELCOME
W H A T C O U L D G O W R O N G ?
Onuris had come home with a bit of a sigh, first he put the umbrella into the umbrella stand and then he took out the card that weird man handed to him and put it on the table in the hallway next to the other contact cards he had managed to collect which were situated next to the phone. He made a quick note to organize the cards at a later time when he felt like it, which was likely never, but who knows? Maybe pigs will fly then again he did live in Gaia and he swore he saw some winged pigs when he was on his way home.
...Perhaps he should organize the cards just to be safe. Ah well.
A few rooms in he heard soft female voices and the gentle thud of cups as they were placed on the table after a sip was taken from them. He tilted his head a bit and meandered to the source of the sound and saw Metis and Arianna sitting together and having their usual Niece and Aunt teatime and conversing peacefully. Metis saw her father and raised one of her four hands to wave at him with a curious gold gaze of her own, "We were just talking about you, Father," the white haired teen said calmly as her wings shifted in the air behind her, "we were wondering just when you were going to get home," she grinned a bit at him as she ran a fingertip over the rim of her cup.
Arianna looked up and nodded lightly with a small laugh, "Yes, brother, were did you go after last job? We called after you and they said you had finished and left, when the storm broke out we were worried that something had happened, it had gotten pretty fierce."
He ran a hand through his loose red hair and gave a shrug in response, "I ducked into a shop, got bored," Onuris said with a small shrug as he got out the Foto and placed it on the table for the two women to see. His initial gesture was to just flick it out there like it mattered little but he couldn't find it in himself to do such a thing. Instead he treated the Foto as if it was living and at times he swore he felt it radiate warmth. "Signed up for some sort of 'exclusive' program and got that as a 'free gift'. It's supposed to turn into something I 'wish' for."
Metis and Arianna stared at the Foto and then looked up to exchange some sort of unspoken communication before they turned toward him and it was Metis that spoke, "What did you wish for?"
Onuris began to speak and then paused. What did he wish for? He hadn't actually thought of it to be honestly he just wanted to see what it was and had, to be honest, been expecting instant results not something that developed over the next couple of days. He couldn't let these two know that, "I wished for a new set of rapiers for my shows," he said simply as he plucked the Foto back up and tucked it away. The superstition of a wish not coming true if you spoke of it out loud didn't seem to apply here so he didn't worry himself on the thought. "Gonna go shower and get ready for bed."
Arianna nodded, "Well okay, by the way there is a plate of leftover dinner in the kitchen on a plate for you," she said with a small smile, "Metis helped me cook it."
Metis nodded and seemed rather proud of herself for her progress in cooking, Auntie Arianna seemed rather proud of Metis' ability in the kitchen.
The pretty man paused before he retreated, he tucked the Foto away once more and laughed a bit, "Okay first I eat and then go to bed."
Metis and Arianna both looked smug and said in unison, "Good boy."
"...I loathe you both," he laughed as he wandered off to the kitchen.
Both called after him, "We love you too~."
