Nn..was all Shinji could manage in the moment. Ophelia's words were true - He did need to meet more people. Almost desperately so. The only people he had in the Underground that he could talk to where his siblings, his cousins, Lena, and Ophelia. And Mitsuru, if he remembered Shinji any.
You know...maybe...You're right. I should start meeting new people somehow...maybe take a job somewhere here...he chuckled, the idea seeming rather random and obsurd. Shinji? Work? That was just unheard of!

"See?"
She smiled, ruffling his hair lightly, tenderly and went back to rubbing his shoulders.
"You should talk to Suru. He's been ranting for a while about opening a shop in the house to do tarot readings."

Phelia's suggestion brought a smile to Shinji's lips. That'd be nice...If he didn't hate me for hurting you still. He shifted just barely to glance over his shoulder to her, a playful smile still curving his pale lips.

She laughed softly, scritching his scalp lightly and muttered,
"I'm sure he understands. Besides, he likes you. I mean, you guys met a while back, before all that, right? He's talked about you once or twice, adn he likes you."

Shinji raised an eyebrow, contemplating Ophelia's words. Likes me, huh? he chuckled, shifting again to look to her. I thought he was seeing someone already? He grinned slightly, hoping the deliberate 'misunderstanding' would make her smile, as he so longed to see her beautiful smile. Tarot sounds fun...Though I'm not sure I have it in me to let cards tell me about myself...he joked.

"He's seeing two people actually," she grinned back, "Though he did say you're cute."
She wasn't kidding, but she tried to laugh like she was and hugged him, playfully.
"Besides, that's not waht I meant. Maybe you could be his assistant or something if he ever gt around to comitting to the idea. Like, scheule his appointments and stuff."

Ooh, books. Fun. he teased, leaning back against Phelia some. I bet he'd be a really good Tarot reader. And I bet he'd get a lot of business, too...he said, thoughtfully as he pondered this possibility. Maybe if you tell him you found him an assistant, he'd be more inclined to get with it?

She laughed leaned back, stretching, yawning lazily.
"Maybe. Would you be interested in doing it? I mean, I want to have someone to TELL him is interested before I tell him someone IS interested."

Shinji snickered some and turned to rest his back against Ophelia again. I'd like to work with him, yes. So tell him. he urged her, letting his eyes fall shut.

She smiles and nodded, hugging him around the shoulders gently.
"All right. This'll be fun! You'll see!"
She caught sight of the time and hopped up, stretching and muttered,
"I'd better go, though, I'm supposed to be meeting Saber back at the apartment. I . . . . I'm moving out! Into my own place. Well, sort of. I'm moving in with Saber."
She beamed brightly, waiting for his reaction.

Ophelia's news sort of threw off Shinji, a lump formed in his throat making it hard for him to speak a moment. He swallowed it best he could, however, and shifted to turn to her, smiling. I'm..glad for you...he said softly, blushing just barely, feeling rather foolish. I think I'm going to hang out here, so if you see Mitsuru soon, you can send him by, okay? He didn't have the courage in him to wish her luck or congradulate her for taking this step with Saber, as somewhere in him, rather obviously, he still wanted Ophelia for himself.

His aura flared and she knew what he was feeling. But somehow, now, to her relife, adn slight disappointment, it didn't make her feel the same way it used to.
She leaned forward again, hugging him around the shoulders again and nuzzling into his back softly.
"I love you, Shinji. To tell the truth, next to Saber, you're my very, very best friend."

Shinji smiled softly and nodded, placing his hands on Ophelia's arms. That's really, really good to hear, Phelia...he told her, moving his head forward to kiss her arm. He shifted again, to turn to look to her, and nodded some. He smiled a little wider, a sort of silent way to tell her that she could carry on with what she came in here for. And I love you, too.

Quinn wondered through the back alleys, hat off, coats open. It was warmer back here between the buildings for some reason. He stopped for a moment at a turn and took a moment to sigh. He'd gotten himself lost. really lost. He had no idea where he was, and it didn't help that it seemed this whole place, whever he was, was nothing but a big jumble of places put together to be a confusing as possible. Probably designed by a wizard or something... those buggers were nutorious for making combobulated floor plans... or at least that was QUinn's experiences dictated to having been to so many different wizard and muggle places. He heard some music coming from down the ally to his left and turned that way. Music meant someone was listenign to it, which meant someone to ask where the heck he was to. He fallowed the noise to a door and looked in.
/It's.... it's a club! Who the heck would stick a club in here?/.... he thought amazed. It was a nice club. /Wait.... I hope I'm not getting in trouble by being here.... but there wasn't a bouncer,... so... / He stepped in a looked aroudn for someone that looked open enough to help him out.

Aiori sat near the jukebox to the side of the room, perched on a table, one leg draped over the other. She swayed back and forth, her eyes closed, humming to the song she'd picked out.
Shinji sat at the counter again, his raspberry smirnoff keeping him company as he shook his head in silent thought. He paused and shifted to send a glance to his half sister, who payed no attention to him.
