Nodding at Shira's words, Atticus would dry himself off and then wrap a towel around his waist, "I'll go check up on our little guest." he told her before leaving the bathroom. In all the excitement and passion that the two shared, he almost forgot about Ellise and wondering if she was still sleep. So, he decided to go see if she was doing alright. After leaving the shower and the bedroom, Atticus made his way over to Ellise's door and knocked, while standing there, Atticus failed to notice that he was nearly naked.
Shira stayed in the shower a bit longer before turning off the water and getting out. She dried herself off and went into the bedroom to retrieve her clothes.

☆Ellise d'Arc----------------------------
----------------------------☆
━━━━━━━━━━━━ Earlier, Ellise had been a bit excited about having a bed. She fell on it and seemed to pass out immediately leaving her in her current state. She laid on the bed, still sleeping but then woke to a noise. She glanced over at the door, taking a moment to remember where she was. She got up then, yawning and rubbing her eyes "Hold on." she said. Once she was awake enough, she got up and went to the door. She opened it and saw Atticus who only had a towel on "Uh... hi?" she greeted as she looked up at him. ━━━━━━━━━━━━
Once Shira was dressed, she went back to the bathroom to brush out her hair as well as dry it. Her stomach growled then and she sighed. It looked like she would need to get food sometime soon.

━━━━━━━━━━━━ Ellise shook her head "You are fine," she said with a smile. She looked back at the room "I have settled in, I didn't have much stuff anyway." she said with a laugh. "Thanks again, to both of you, for letting me stay here. It means a lot." ━━━━━━━━━━━━
Atticus would place his hand on Ellise's head and gave her a reassuring and warm smile, similar to how he would do Mirai, showing that he had accepted Ellise as a comrade, "It's no big deal. We are friends now, and there isn't anything I wouldn't do for a friend." he told her before removing his hand, Atticus turned away, "Well, I just wanted to check and see how you were doing, since you are obviously doing fine, I'll be heading back to my bedroom. When you are ready to head out and observe Death City, just let us know."
Shira walked out of the bedroom and saw Atticus talking to Ellise still, she went to the kitchen to see if there was anything to eat before they would leave.

━━━━━━━━━━━━ Ellise smiled and nodded "Will do." she told him before glancing around her room. She needed to make sure she had everything she needed before leaving. ━━━━━━━━━━━━
As Shira left the room and headed towards the kitchen, Atticus would glance at her, before looking back at Ellise, "Oh yeah, if you need anything while in the city, feel free to contact Charlotte or myself." he added before turning away and heading towards the bedroom. Upon entering the the room, Atticus got dressed in a pretty quick fashion, coming back in about twenty minutes or so.
Shira had begun making a sandwich by the time Atticus came back up. She kept everything out in case Atticus or Ellise wanted food as well.

━━━━━━━━━━━━ Ellise nodded once again "Will do." she said with a small bow. She walked back into her room and double checked that she had everything before walking out, noticing Shira was making food. ━━━━━━━━━━━━
Atticus would notice the sandwich that Shira had made, around the same time as Ellise did, smiling, Atticus stood up and began making his way to the kitchen, "Come and join us for a little lunch, Ellise." he stated, as he began making himself a sandwich Once that was completed, he looked to Shira, "So, do you have any sake?" he asked, showing that he had gotten quite fond of the liquor.
Shira smiled at Atticus "There is some in one of the cupboards somewhere. Took me forever to get it since an eighteen year old getting alcohol is rather suspicious," she told him with a small laugh.

━━━━━━━━━━━━ Ellise smiled and nodded before going in the kitchen and making her sandwich, making sure not to get in the way of the other two. ━━━━━━━━━━━━
It was only at that moment, that Atticus remembered that Shira was just eighteen years old, he had almost forgotten about it. "Thanks." Atticus said before leaving the kitchen and entering the bedroom, he had went to go get the jug that he always drank from, it was an memento left to him by an mentor. Coming back, Atticus went to the cupboards and found a bottle of sake. Opening it up, he would pour most of it into the jug. Now with the sake and sandwich, Atticus was ready to eat, heading to the table and sitting down.
Shira grabbed some chips and a water before taking her food and sitting down next to Atticus, eating relatively quickly due to how hungry she was.

☆Ellise d'Arc----------------------------
----------------------------☆
━━━━━━━━━━━━ Ellise continued making her sandwich before walking over and sitting at the table with Shira and Atticus, eating the food quietly. Obviously part of her was thinking of what to do once she left. ━━━━━━━━━━━━
As all three were eating at the table, an eerie silence was present, nobody was talking and it almost kind of felt a little gloomy. "Well, today's been fun." Atticus stated, breaking the silence. "Ellise, do you have anymore comrades in the city or on the way, that we should no of?" he asked, obviously wanting to know what it was that they will be dealing with.
Shira continued eating while listening to Ellise and Atticus converse. She glanced at the two as she drank her water then.

☆Ellise d'Arc----------------------------
----------------------------☆
━━━━━━━━━━━━ Ellise glanced up from eating "I know several were sent here besides me... I don't exactly know who." she said with a small laugh. "If they are like me, they want to keep as low to the ground as possible. Coming across our doubles could make our mission a bit more difficult," she explained. ━━━━━━━━━━━━
"I see." Atticus stated before taking a bite of his sandwich. "Hm, I wonder if there is an alternate Atticus in your world. I don't believe that Rashi ever spoke of him or if she did, I probably tuned her out." Atticus joked before guzzling down some sake. "Well, in any case, we will need to locate them somehow, we wouldn't want to end up fighting each other by mistake." Placing the jug on the table, Atticus would stop speaking, as his left arm began to sting and almost radiate with an intense aura, that Atticus knew all too well. Should Shira and Ellise look at his face, they would not see the happy and smiling Atticus that was talking earlier. No, his eyes, grew cold and his face distorted by hatred and anger. Shira would notice him grab his arm, around the same time, an incredible power and soul wavelength would appear in the streets of Death City. Without so much as a word, Atticus stood up from the table and placed his hood on his head, he then walked rather calmly towards the door, but he was giving off an intense killing aura, that would scare even the most strongest of opponents. Atticus would not look back at Shira or Ellise, but they would hear his arm transform into a blade and then he would vanish from their sights.
