Baizou stood up and decided not to acknowledge her near slip of the tongue. "I will leave you two to your conversing." He said walking over to the two children as he passed for the stairs, "That is quite the interesting dog, you have, there." He mused, leaning against the wall.

Sencu and Rentue nodded. "Thank you!" They said as they took out a couple of screwdrivers and started to take it apart. "We need better parts..." They whined.

((I'm glad to see Tomo joined the Von Helsons....))
Ukiel came out of Kai's secret recovering room and started to take off his armor in the hall. It made loud cluncks, a reason he moved outside; kai needed to sleep. He seemed to loosen up as his energy started roaming down the hall, a calm energy and making everyone he felt it happy and warm inside.

Ignoring the fact that the redheaded man was purposefully walking away from any inkling of socializing. Scoffing, Emy plopped back onto the radio, with a cough slew with some sort of rude saying. "My apologies, she said to Akane. But, I hope you enjoy your drink." she said, with an evil eye upon the group at the other end of the room. What a way to be welcomed, eh? Yeah, it was typical of them, though. Just like her previous bar, and the one before that. She was simply just the bartender... Even if no one did acknowledge her. But, this time she would not fail to keep this bar safe. Not like last time. It was her job, after all. Why she'd been briefed about all of it. Why she knew suddenly four people would vanish into thin air. Five, since Emy would have to go along with them.

Baizou didn't know much about robotics, so he just watched, "It seems to be functioning all right." He said, heading back toward the stairs. "Good job so far, though." He murmured, before walking upstairs.

Akirachi ((I'm glad to see Tomo joined the Von Helsons....)) Ukiel came out of Kai's secret recovering room and started to take off his armor in the hall. It made loud cluncks, a reason he moved outside; kai needed to sleep. He seemed to loosen up as his energy started roaming down the hall, a calm energy and making everyone he felt it happy and warm inside. ((No, I didn't.))

They nodded and then ran outside. "Going to get more parts!" They shouted though they both had a little amount of money on them.

((Posts will be slow, as I am reading.))
Baizou walked downstairs, wet hair sticking to his t-shirt. He had the fresh appearance of someone who had recently showered and actually smelled rather lovely. Tomo was upstairs busy with Liam, so he offered to take command of the bar for the moment. He walked behind the bar and got the tea and coffee going. Things were starting to pick up a little, so he knew it wouldn't go to waste.

Sencu and Rentue walked inside happily and headed to Baizou. "Where is the robot person?" They asked him though they both had bags filled with nuts, bolts, screws and all kinds of things.

Lately, Cassanova had noticed changes in the muffin. Some people stuck around, while others seemed to vanish in thin air. But, those others always came home to open arms, and a hearty welcome, even if it'd been a century. It was heartwarming, but, also a little sad, too. As much time as Cass would like to spend in the Muffin, with a man she loved, and a family... These regulars would never know her. It would cease to amaze her how many times that the place was empty, for how many people chose to live and leave the place. But, she loved Liam. She loved Tomo. And, she loved her best friend, Ellie.
For, not it for them... She may have decided to leave, that night of Liam's birth, she may have lost so much. But, she stayed. Out of her love for the building, the regulars she did not know, and her family... She stayed. But, there would always be a certain concept about it. Things would change, and things would stay the same. Perhaps like the tide, in a way. And, yes.. The tide always did come back, at some point. Or, so it always seemed to any passerby. Maybe argued by some sort of oceanologist, that this was not true... But, as was the same in the Muffin. Some perfectionist, like Ellie, or Ever maybe would argue that things were not the same, and would always be ever changing... But, to most, it was always going to be the same.
The woman of average height, and slender form mingled around the garden for most of the day.. Picking her baby tomatoes, and tending to the strawberries. Some slugs, or something must've been eating at her sunflower's leaves... Poor things. After a while of pulling at weeds, and sinking her feet into the earth, Cass came around to the conclusion that perhaps it time to investigate the shed for some sort of slug-killer, or flower spray. At a slow pace, Cass wandered over to the shed, and smiled at the environment around her. It was peaceful, and kind.. Warm and inviting. In golden rays of hope, the sunlight trickled through some of the trees, as it made it's slow pace across the bright blue sky.
Looking up, during her leisurely walk, the woman reminded herself that after she was done, she'd bring Liam out to watch clouds with her. Rhiannon, too. They were her family now, however wordlessly she'd admitted into it. Tomo had changed, this was true. But, somehow that promise Ellie had made wasn't all quite there. He'd go through it like any boy would after a girl. Tomokazu would put aside the bar that he owned, if only for a moment, to court Cass. To flirt... To make her know, that she was not just another mom for them... Yes, he loved her. Yes, she loved him, too. As Ellie liked to remind her though, it was not all that easy! He still had to convince her that he would try and win her heart, no matter how long it took.
Heading into the shed, she was reminded that this poor cat-boy was trying. And... He was there. But, the emotional side of herself that she'd stifled.. All of that independence; oh how it screamed at her to take charge of this situation. She could not explain what was going on, entirely... But, something in the back of her head told her it was not right. It would be in her right place to tell him off. He appreciated her.. And he loved her... Oh, who was she kidding herself? Tomokazu would never be Baizou. Bai was romantic, and perfect for Ellie. They were perfect for each other. But... Wasn't that how she was with Tomo? Well, maybe. Perhaps. On.. some sort of occasion where Tomo felt he'd done something wrong.
He was not the same person! He loved her in his way. This must be the part of Cass that fought back against her stubbornness and independence. She knew that the only way for this to work, as badly as she wanted it to, was if she stifled these things. If she really wanted to support her family, now, she had to fix this. She would change who she was, so that it would work. It really.. Really would work. She would make sure so, for the welfare of the whole Muffin. For Tomokazu. She would change herself, for Tomokazu.
After a few moments, Cass had realized that she'd found the bottle of chemical that she was looking for, and had been holding it for a while, quite lost in thought. Briefly brushing her hair backwards and out of her face, she headed to exit the shed again. As she stepped back into the sunlight, a content smile rested upon her features naturally at the warmth that was brought upon her. As she returned to disperse the chemical among her flowers, Cass could not help but to become lost into her thoughts... Consumed by philosophies and inklings of ideas. And, the cause of such things. As she had paused, Cass came to a conclusion about something. All of this containment of her stubborn exclamations brought her upon a simple thing. When she held it inside, and thought about it... She realized what different these things she thought about were.
This was almost as if taking the notion of thinking of what you speak before speaking it to another sort of degree. When self-analyzing a stubborn idea, or refining such a thing, it turned to be something much simpler, or more complex. Sometimes, even an entirely different view as a whole, had she simply thought about it first. This was a good turn, for Cassanova. Now, she knew that not all loss was to come from these changes of herself. The plants were taken care of, now, and the sun still provoked its lazy warmth. For whatever reason, Cass had always taken it upon herself to relate the feeling of sun wrapping around you, like a big, warm hug from people you love. Perhaps why it always so easy to fall asleep in the sun, then.
After putting away her tools, and other such things, the calm girl felt it time to retire back into the building. And, oh, what a building it was. She was proud of Tomo, for making it what it was today. Yet still now, people trickled in, some out of curiosity, and some out of need for a home. A safe point.. A base. It was always different, yet every time someone did arrive, Cass could see it in Tomo. Sometimes it was worry, and sometimes it was pride. Every day someone called this place their home, he was proud. But, inside Cass, she was almost afraid. Every person they did not know that came into this place... Any shady figure could be putting his family at risk.
Was that saddening? Or bravery? Maybe just a comforting thing, that the goods were to always outway the bads. If one evil person seemed to bother them, such as Ghost... Two more would call the Muffin their home. But, what if one of those bads didn't work itself out just right? Hadn't Ghost declared war upon the building? As much faith as Cass had in this place, sometimes she wondered if it were safe for these inter-world warfares to go on. Angels and slavery? What seemed so unattainable before was now all too close to home.
