...It doesn't feel at all like what I felt earlier today. [And thus presumably not like the Silence? Especially since Jun's the one who's been up close and personal with the possessed before. Natori imagines Jun would be reacting differently if it felt familiar.

So...] ...What is it? Did you do anything else today?

[whiteshroud]

Hm, it doesn't feel like the Silence. [He can tell that much. Not that he has much clue to what else it could be]

I don't know. I didn't do anything too different...I trained with my bow, organized more of the library and watched a couple episodes of Galactic Conquest. Pretty normal day, really.

[paperpusher]

Your bow is light-based, isn't it...? But no, that would still feel like your own power. [And he's not even going to consider the idea that this is related to watching anime. He refuses.] Well, the timing is suspicious, but I guess we can't assume that the Silence is the only spirit out there. Maybe they're connected in some way.

It doesn't feel malicious yet, but I can try to exorcise it if you'd like.

[whiteshroud]

[he considers, before shaking his head. He rather not risk seeing what an exorcism might do to the Seal on his arm. Best case, nothing. Worse case, it might trigger the self-defense mechanism.]

That's alright, I can observe it and deal with it later. It might be safer to check with the Admin too, before we try anything.

[Yeah. Admin. That's what he's worried about (he's not)]

[paperpusher]

Fair enough. [Natori's not too worried (because he doesn't realize how close he came to exploding); even if it is dangerous, it will take time to grow strong enough to really pose a problem, and Jun can likely handle it himself anyway.] Indulge me in being a condescending adult: keep an eye out for bad dreams that get stronger or unexplained weakness, okay? I probably don't have to tell you that, but it's my duty to say it anyway.

[whiteshroud]

[Ah yes. He gives a sigh and puts a hand on his hip, responding snarky flat tone that only a teenager can truly muster.]

Yes Mom.

[paperpusher]

Haha, well, I did warn you ahead of time. [he says, amused.]

[whiteshroud]

Haha, you did.

[He'll now stop suppressing his spirit power, his outfit changing yet again to his seal knight uniform]

Well, if you're feeling alright, I'm going to go check on Father Abel. Feel free to stay here as long as you'd like, okay?

[paperpusher]

Ah, good idea. He didn't speak up in the end, did he? [Natori pokes at his smartphone with the air of a man who's only had a month to play with something decades more advanced than he's used to-- functionally, but he certainly didn't grow up with one of these-- to confirm there are no new messages from Abel in the chat.] Thanks for coming by to check.

[whiteshroud]

Mm, which is very unlike him...so I'm a little worried.

[A quiet Abel is not at all normal, from what Jun can tell. The guy will take any opportunity to chat.]

Of course. Feel better, okay?

[paperpusher]

Will do! And you keep an eye out, make sure it doesn't sneak up on you afterwards.

[...]

And don't forget the cat.

[whiteshroud]

[ His hand was halfway raised when Natori reminded him]

-- Oh yeah! Circe!

[HE NEARLY FORGOT THE CAT. Heading over to pick her up!]

Sorry about that...

[paperpusher]

Haha. [Good, now he doesn't have to deal with the suspicious cat.] Safe travels!

[whiteshroud]

[The cat upon being picked up will give a "mrow" before climbing back on his shoulders. Yeah, should probably drop her off back at home before tracking down Abel]

Mm. Feel better.

[Jun will raise his hand to teleport away. As he does so, the cat stares directly at Natori.

She sees you sir

But this gaze only lasts a second, before both Jun and Circe disappear.]
