Neo & Nyx & Air & Eliot & Clara & Lux & Killian & Alexandru
Killian's eyes flashed once when Tobias entered the room, quickly registering him as friend, not foe. There was, however, the curious fact that this the Long One Friend was not, in fact, expected at this time. Team Robin--as the collective who had been here earlier was referred to--had left and the room should have been quiet for the night. Aside, of course, from the Fiery One Friend Master, the Light One Friend Master, and the Strange-Spoken One Friend Master; all of whom frequently came through the common area late at night. He had long since learned to ignore them when this happened: they all did such strange things and rarely acknowledged him when doing so, so it was abundantly clear that they would prefer to be left to their own devices. But this, though it was precedented, was a conundrum. Because there were no Masters present to inform about the presence of the Long One Friend, and it was certain to earn him a reprimand if he rose to stir them late at night--the Fiery One Friend Master was always most displeased when he moved without specific instruction. All this information processed, Killian found himself left with one, least offensive option: acting off the orders he'd been given at the party, he chose to speak.
"You..." The Golurk's voice was as quiet as he could make it, but still the air reverberated with its deep, resonant tones. "Why are you here? You have come inside unannounced, when there is none but me to receive you, as though you belong here. But you do not. There is no other One who does this. Why do you?" The Long One Friend wasn't acting urgent, which meant it was not trouble that brought him here, but this made matters even more confusing. His patterns didn't align with those of other Ones who came and went from this place--Ones who were not Masters. He was to be nice to the members of Team Robin, so rather than speaking from hostility he spoke from a vague bewilderment. Still, he would keep a silent gaze steady on Tobias until he knew how to handle the Long One Friend's arrival--whether by waking his Masters or turning the Linoone away.

Tobias was most expected. Of course he was. Neo had, after all, invited him and he was most certain that this was the appropriate time. He had bolted ahead of the rest of his party and sought the opinions of somewhat ungentlemanly Solrock as to when the best time to view the meteor shower would be and this was the time he had been told. It was most certainly the case that Neo had simply slept in past when he had meant to, so of course it was appropriate for Tobias to come and wake him so he could view the shower.
Most appropriate.
"Oh no no, I am most certainly one who does belong here. Neo has made it most clear that he wished to view the meteor shower tonight but it seems as if he has simply fallen asleep and not woken up in time. I am certain this is the case. So it is that I am here to wake him so that he may come along with anyone else who wishes to so that he may see the stars fall with us." This was most certainly the case, of this he was certainly certain. Had Killian the awareness to realize he, he would recognize that Tobias was oddly awake given the affairs of the night and perhaps even ever so slightly excited; the Solrock had spoken rather brightly, though grumpily, and past his odd and inexplicable frustration it was clear that he considered it quite a thing to enjoy. Tobias would make way to the room that Neo slept in, scratch lightly at the door in the process of opening it, and then stick only his head in through the crack. "Hello Neo, will you be joining us for the meteor shower? It is to begin in fifteen less than one hour."
He would repeat himself and speak slowly, if necessary. After all, he could tell that Neo was sleeping and often one needed a moment to wake up. Tobias was very polite that way, to say things twice.

Killian tilted his head, staring down at the Linoone with unfeeling eyes. He knew nothing about this alleged agreement between the Long One Friend and the Green-Eyed One Friend Master, but the Linoone spoke fervently, with a sincerity that rang of the truth. If that was the case, then the Green-Eyed One Friend Master should surely be awoken. The Golurk sighed, a hollow sound, and dipped his head. "If that is so." He would have proceeded to move towards the back rooms to wake the Meowstic in question, had Tobias not bolted off, almost before the permission had left Killian's mouth. The Golurk watched the Linoone go, looking almost sad; there was nothing he could do in this case, truly--his function had been made moot.
Neo and his children were all sleeping soundly after the commotion of the party. Eliot was curled up on his pillow bed, gnawing gently at Aegi as he slept, and Clara held fast to his tail, her closed eyes and deep breathing the only indication that she, too, was sleeping soundly. Neo rested on his side, hugging his pillow to his chest beneath his blanket; the Psychic was deep in a dream, his sleep far shallower than that of his children. His mind was alive with visions of a strange cave that seemed to have no top, a sky filled with gems that shone a deep crimson, their shape like a Sableye's ruby eyes. He walked the path alone and reached a paw up to find that he could pluck one of the stars, and when he did the gem shattered. Its outer, precious casing fell to the ground in glittering pieces and the Meowstic found a seed resting in his paw. As he held it between his paws, a sprout burst forth from the plant and a flower bloomed before his eyes--it was as deep a red as the gem had been and its leaves were pointed sharp like tiny swords. As he stared at the flower, its leaves started to expand outward, turning into vines that began to trail through the air, wrapping around him before he could respond. That was when he heard the scratching. Something was coming from further down the cave passage, something that he couldn't even turn to see, the vines held him so tight--and then, with a gasp, he was awake.
It took Neo until Tobias' second repetition to hear his friend's words, which quickly prompted him to sit straight up, his fur more than a bit disheveled from the way it had settled as he slept. "T-Tobias?" He squinted against the dark to try and spot his friend, gingerly slipping out of his bed with a quick glance at his children to ensure they were there and hadn't stirred. Fortunately they weren't up yet, though Eliot's nose was twitching as it often did before the child woke. Neo ran a paw down his face, hitting his cheek lightly to confirm he was no longer dreaming, and made his way across the room to where Tobias was, inside the room or out. When it was clear his friend was, in fact, present, and Neo's mind caught up with his words, the Meowstic's eyes widened with surprise. "Oh, the meteor shower?" His voice was hushed and a bit surprised, but his face registered recognition. "Arceus, yeah, that was tonight. We should see it, yeah. I completely forgot." Strictly speaking, he hadn't forgotten the meteor shower so much as he'd forgotten it was something well worth seeing, what with the exhaustion from hosting a hectic party hours before, but now that he was up and in the presence of Tobias' enthusiastic energy, he wouldn't tell his friend no.

Tobias watched, curious at the Meowstic's mood. Some of it, to be certain, was likely a result of what seemed to have been some dreadful sort of nightmare. But there was definitely a stray oddness to it; an eagerness and pleased disposition sat on top of confusion that was hard to brush away simply as the result of having awakened from a nightmare. It was a strange thing to understand and it almost begged a probing question as to discover the underlying nature of it. This was something that Tobias would cast away in the favour of time though it did bother him somewhat to leave it sitting at the back of his mind. The meteor shower was set to begin soon enough that if he wasted considerable time addressing these things than they would potentially be considerably late for those things and that would not be fine.
So he nodded. "Yes, yes that is good. I had thought perhaps that was the case as it seemed from your absence that you may have slept in but that is fine. There is still plenty of time. Jessica and the rest are waiting for us so I will lead the way when you are all ready." Itched though it did, making sure they got there in time and were appropriately situated to enjoy things was important too. Tobias would put the thought away but he would certainly ask at a later and more convenient time, possibly on another visit. He already had an important thing that he was expressly told to tell Neo about at some point so that would have to come first, though it was certainly much more confusing than what presently sat in his mind. Jessica was very strange to make such a request.
Tobias, that said, would stay out of the way unless engaged and then lead the team onwards to their stargazing locale.
