It hadn't been a visit he had been expecting, but it happened. Actually, it happened more than he cared to admit; he really should look into a tracking device for her, just so he knew when to not answer his door. Though, deep down, he didn't mind the reminder that she was at least still alive. He just wished she was a little less...herself about it. And that Jackdamn nickname she fancied.
By the time he got her to leave, which pretty much involved walking her out of the dorm, Mac decided he didn't quite want to go back up to his room just yet. So he stood there, leaning against a windowsill and staring out of it into the rainy day...and not at the pink-haired Demon girl that made her way back to her own dorms.
He was content with just looking out at the wonderful rain, until he saw something move out of the corner of his eye; jumping a little bit, he turned to look for the creator.

After setting up his room to his liking for the time being, Shun glanced around, noting the puddles of water he had left throughout all of this. That was going to need to be cleaned up. Rain wasn't something he minded but it sometimes was a pain to deal with. His jacket and such were still drying right now too.
Having no towels, he left to run downstairs to fetch some. Surely there was some room somewhere around here where he could pick some up. If worse comes to worse he could always steal some from one of the communal bathrooms in the building.
As he went to do this, he caught some quick movement in the corner of his eyes. Glancing to the side, he saw another reaper there, staring right back at him.
"What?" he asked with a frown.

The question made him frown pretty quickly. That response...wasn't very friendly, was it? The urge to snark back, to rise on the defensive was remarkably high, but he managed to bite it back in light of one very important thing; he'd never seen this Reaper before. Likely new, or a hermit, or something...but whatever the reason, new person. Not-a-Demon.
"Hello to you, too." Mac drawled out with a small chuckle, having almost literally wiped his frown away while rubbing his face. "I saw movement, I looked. It happens. No need to be all uppity about it." What was that about stifling snarky urges? Err...Huh. Booted feet moved carelessly across the creaking floor, taking the green-clad Reaper away from the window and towards the stranger.
"You look like you're on a mission. Anything I can help with?" At least he was extending an olive branch, so to speak.

Shun just sort of let out a small huff at the response. He supposed he didn't have to be snappy about it, but he technically didn't have to play nice either for that matter.
Looking over the other reaper as he approached, he soon gave a shrug at the question presented.
"I need some towels," He said plainly. The reasoning was probably clear, seeing how his hair still appeared fairly wet. It wasn't dripping any more at least. His steps still had a little bit of a wet squeak to them as well as he walked.

"Towels." Mac repeated, mostly to himself. Black eyed moved to stare out the window for a moment, as he thought about it. "Ah, you're probably S.O.L down here. I don't remember seeing any when I was there last." One of his windows had a leak, and he wanted to stop it before his room was covered in pup-sized water marks; currently, a dirty shirt served as a decent enough towel. Unless the gnomes recently restocked it and made a liar out of Mac and his eidetic memory, of course.
"They could have restocked though, but I'm pretty sure it's empty." He tapped his chin, and then shrugged animatedly, palms up. "Could probably borrow some, though." He had an idea from who.

The frown grew some at this news. Well that was great. There was a fair amount of water on his floor too so he couldn't just leave it be. He supposed he could try to find some alternatives, but Shun would rather have the towels if possible.
"Might as well check," he mumbled before looking back towards the reaper in green. If he had been down to look for some, most likely he wasn't referring to himself as far as borrowing went.
"But who might that be?"

"Might as well, do you know where they are?" It was a fair enough question, he didn't know how long this particular Reaper was here; there was nearly an entire house here that he had yet to meet. Being friendly in your own house just made sense, really. Until his question was answered, he'd be staying put...and even then.
"My neighbour." Mac informed the stranger with a non-committal shrug.

"I've a few ideas. Figured I'd run into it sooner or later."
Shun's guesses were the bathrooms and the laundry room. He hadn't really managed to locate the latter, but he figured he'd find it sooner or later. He supposed it was possible there may be some sort of storage room or closet around as well, but he couldn't be certain.
As for the neighbor, that could be a fair chance to take as well.
"Would he be willing to lend it out?" he asked. Some people were more finicky about their possessions and all.

"Well...if you want, you can go find them. If you need help, I'll help." This new Reaper didn't seem to know where it was, but Mac wasn't really in a 'guide the newbie' mood right now. Besides, this guy seemed to have something shoved---well, he seemed uptight. The question made him grin, though.
"I don't think he'd notice." Which was probably a lie, but who knew how observant Mot usually was. He seemed at least decent about it. The only downside is that he was pretty sure Mot had left for the day but, like the restocking of the towels, that could have changed.
"If you'd rather go on alone, I'll stay here and wait for you." He was starting to feel like a videogame NPC.

Shun raised an eyebrow at the reply. The wording made it seem like Mac planned on just snagging a towel from this neighbor. That didn't really matter much to him at all though. So he took a moment to consider his two options here. It could take awhile to hunt down where the towels were and he would rather not have to deal with gnomes if possible.
Damn pesky little bastards.
Right now, it seemed like the neighbor option would be the quicker one. If it failed, then he'd just go back to hunting down the supply room.
"I suppose it can't hurt to check your neighbor," he said with a shrug, "It'd probably be a little faster too."

"Way faster" Mac agreed with a grin, one hand holding an elbow while the other stroked his chin. He didn't know whether or not the cowboil would actually be there, but they could easily find out! The hand on his chin waved for Shun to follow him, and the green clad Reaper made his way back upstairs. A few floors later and he was in front of Mot's door, giving it a knock.
There was no answer.
Another knock?
Nothing.
"Whelp, looks like Cowboil's not home. Stay there, mmkay?" Pointing for the stranger to stay put, Mac slid to the next door over - his own bedroom - and wandered inside. A noisy few minutes later and he was back out with a paper clip in his hand. "Lets see if I still remember how to do this!" He then set to attempting to pick the lock.

Following the other reaper, Shun raised a brow while watching the guy knock before fetching a paper clip to see if he could pick the lock. While he was mildly curious to see if the boy could pull it off, there was an easier and faster way to get inside right now.
He watched for a moment or two before teleporting to the other side of the door, figuring there wouldn't be anything right up against it. Within the next moment, he unlocked and opened the door from the inside, staring at Mac as he stood in the door frame.

"..." Mac froze when the door knob twisted, instantly on his feet and backing up a step or two as it opened. "MO---Oh it's you....WAIT HOW DID---" Spinning on his heel, he looked behind him and around the hallway. MYSTERIOUSLY, Shun managed to get on the other side of the door! "How in Sally's name did you..." Mac was baffled. Thoroughly baffled.
"...Are you sure you're a Reaper?" He was pretty sure the boil was a ghost.

Mot had not been expecting company. He had also not been expecting intruders. He had thought taking a nap would be safe.
He was wrong.
He heard knocking, or at least the last of the knocking, and stirred from his light sleep. "The one time I actually manage to slee--" Mot removed the hat from his face while muttering to himself, only to have a dark hared reaper teleport into his bedroom and open his door.
Double you tee eff!?
Mot jumped from his bed and shoved his hat on his head. "Woooah woah woah, who the Jack are you?! Wait, Mac!? Mac was outside the door too. What was going on???

For a moment or so, Shun just stared at Mac nonchalantly before just summoning his daggers for a bit. That should be proof enough that he was a reaper. After showing him them, he dismissed the two before turning around as he heard a new voice from behind, belonging to the person who owned this room.
Frowning, he turned towards Mac and said, "I thought you said he wasn't home."
The boy must have been busy or something if the knocking hadn't brought him to the door. Regardless of him teleporting, he likely would have still be surprised by his neighbor attempting to pick the lock.
"Name's Shun," He replied to the Reaper who had asked.
