[12/12 - Afternoon]  Charlotte, the Demon Maid
Meanwhile, Charlotte had peeked out when the Shuzunoha had arrived, and she twirled around before curtsying as a greeting. He was kind of her boss, after all, since she was affiliated with the Crows. It wasn't long at all before she had a few cups of hot tea on the table to help drive off the chill of winter - taking care of guests was important, after all, especially when they were as notable as this one.

 Jo(shu) MichieruThe boy let out a small chuckle as the girl responded well to his own remarks, introducing herself back to him.
"I mean, it's a nice name." he mused, slightly as he waved his hand. "Though, If you get tired of saying it, we could always get someone to introduce you wherever you go. Like an Emcee, ya'know?"
He made a gesture with his hands, and lowered his voice to a dramatically low tone.
"And in this corner! The latest arrival in Inaba...! Miiiiiiiiiiikkkkkkiiiiiiiii!"
It was a dumb joke...But, hey, he couldn't help it.
It was a sign of how easygoing he was that he let the girl straight up drag him inside the house....Taking him over to a table where some tea had already been set out.
'Must be that maid they sent here. Char..something?' he thought, before lightly shaking his head and taking a seat next to Miki.
"Ah, to be honest, not a lot." he called, picking up the cup of tea with a hand. "A proverbial little birdie told me that we had a new arrival, and since I'm the Kuzunoha in charge of this area, I figured I could say hello."
It then occurred to him the girl might not even know what that was..As he danced a tube around his fingers.
"Well, Kuzunoha's a bit of a complicated word..." he sounded, as he held up the tube. "You can think of me as your friendly neighborhood Superhero. Super-summoner, if I have to include my job description."
He let the tube sit on the table....More than a bit sure that MIki would be curious about the summons...Even if he wasn't fully aware of how much she'd already seen from Ciela.
"I hope she got your registration taken care of. I've had my fill of paperwork and such I've had to bullshit my way through.......Not that school isn't the most important thing of course..'
He almost seemed to keep a relaxed smile about him as he spoke with the girl...Not letting on what he was busy with...As he patted his chest.
"Though, I am a repeat senior because of stuff like Paperwork..So, I suppose I should treat it with a bit more respect.." he added flatly....Clearly trying to invoke a friendly, casual feeling with the girl.
"I'm a decent teacher though if you ever need any help. I've got more than a few students, but I can help you through most of the standard curriculum. And a few things that aren't covered in the books, if you get what i mean."
It probably could have been phrased better, to sound less like a sexual innuendo...But, at this point, Shu just kind of embraced the word play, and shenanigans that he dealt with.
He was confident in his abilities....And if the girl needed some proper combat training, he could give it to her. Or, at least he was sure he could.
"By the way, thanks Miss Maid for the tea!" he added out loud....Raising the cup to his lips to signal he was done with talking, and finally giving her a turn.

Miki Nanao Smile frozen, Miki forced out a chuckle at the idea of having an announcer follow her around, shouting her name out for her. Joke or not, that was really not something she wanted to even talk about. She really just wanted to fit in, get back into school, catch up, get cured, and eventually go home. "As far as I know, Lady Ciela pulled some strings to get me into the high school as soon as the new term starts, as well as giving me a little bit of money to get books and any stationary I need, as well as a uniform."The blue-haired girl showed an embarrassed grin as Shu, unintentionally or not, made a considerably sexual suggestion, though she decided to err on the side of caution and take it as though it wasn't. "I'd love to learn whatever you could teach, Rednal's already going to help me, but I'd like to catch up with my studies, and learn all I can about this Atma thing as fast as possible, as well as... well... How to fight, properly. I want to get stronger, to protect myself and those I... care about."

[12/12 - Afternoon]  Rednal Ak'Thias"I think we can help you with that, at least." Rednal said, smiling slightly as he came down the stairs. He'd also heard Shu knocking, but he'd had to settle a few things with Yuno before following Miki downstairs, and he'd only caught the tail end of the conversation. "Yo, senpai." he added, waving at Shu as he saw the dude with the hair. Turning back to address Miki, though... "At the very least, wanting the strength to protect people is something I understand... and we'll have your back the whole way. If nothing else, I bet Flan would love to have a sparring partner, and I can help anytime I'm free, too."That, and there were actually quite a lot of people he knew who'd be willing to help Miki get stronger. Being honest, her Atma form hadn't actually been that powerful. It was actually among the weaker things he'd fought, by some degree - yet where some people might have mocked her for that, he just saw it as an opportunity for her to grow. He'd been weak at the start, too, and knew exactly how frustrating being weak could be. If she wanted help, and he could give it... he would. It was that simple.

] Jo(shu) MichieruShu nodded as Miki explained her situation, Ciela getting her into school, and a bit of money to get books, stationary, a uniform...The like.
"I see, I see.." he sounded to himself. "She got some of the basics, but not quite the necessities.."
He waited as she reacted to his comment....and then accepted his offer to teach her. Both in the ways of the school, and the ways of..the other stuff. Battling, and the like...
Just in time for the man of the house to come on down, and mention his own mutual feeling in the want to protect others..And offering to have her back...Then reminding Flan, and him.
"Ahhh, if memory serves, your power is far from subtle, Red-man." Shu remarked, lightly. "Explosive, but not subtle. And Flan...Cute as a button, but she miiiiiiight be a bit too much for Miki to handle as it is.."
He waved a hand at the girl, trying to show he meant nothing bad by it....Only the kindest of things.
"And, as it is...I think I have a perfect little mission for Miki to work on. So long as she has permission to leave for a short while, I promise to return her before the night's up."
He gave a small bow to the silver haired junior, having finally set the teacup down.
"If not, I can totally handle it myself. I just figured it'd be something that she could do with. A bit of experience...."
And, a winnable battle wouldn't hurt.

[12/12 - Afternoon] Rednal Ak'Thias"Well, she hasn't asked to call me 'Daddy' yet, so she doesn't need my permission if she wants to go out." Rednal observed. That was... probably a joke? It could be hard to tell sometimes, but he both looked and sounded rather amused. "Senpai's pretty cool, even if he doesn't look too reliable." Rednal added to Miki. "Have fun, yeah? And don't worry if you aren't back by dinner - I'll make sure Charlotte has something for you whenever you get back." She was just starting to get the hang of her powers - and for now, he wanted to support that and help Miki build some self-confidence. Honestly, he was pretty sure his household could do it themselves - indeed, that was probably part of why Ciela had sent Miki here in the first place - but he really didn't mind if anyone else wanted to join in. The more friends she had, the better - especially so they could help her learn the most important lesson about power. Goodness knew he'd been dense enough to take way longer to learn it than he should have... she probably wouldn't have nearly as much trouble.

Miki NanaoDaddy?!Joke or not, and it had better have been a joke, Miki was not impressed with such a line. There were far better ways of putting the fact that she didn't need Rednal's permission to go with Shu, and the grey-haired boy had probably picked -the- worst way. "You're right, I don't need your permission, I go where I want, when I want."Frowning, Miki was about to say more, but shook her head and sighed, she didn't mean to be quite so aggressive, but she was still a little on edge after the feeling she had gotten from Yuno. Deciding to just leave it at that, the girl turned to Shu. "I'd like to help, please, I'll do my best with whatever the job is." She said, before speaking to Rednal, "Thank you, I look forward to Charlotte's dinner when I get back. It's been a long time since I had a proper, home-cooked meal."With that, and still a little more iciness than she otherwise would have meant, Miki stood and walked to the front door, letting herself out, and waited for Shu outside.
