Momoko nodded her head at Adrian’s request for tea and left him alone to go and prepare it. She didn’t use their expensive tea because Sohta would be frustrated with her, but she did use a little trick she knew to make the tea taste fresh and not instant. While Momoko was busy in the kitchen, Sohta had finished up what he was doing. He left his room and walked down the hall to the living room. Poking his head through the doorway, he caught sight of a red-headed young man with sharp features. He was rather handsome for a witch, though Sohta wasn’t entirely pleased to hear that Momoko had brought one home; especially a male. She was at that age though…. “Hey, I’m Sohta. I hope my sister didn’t drag you home with her.” He joked lightly as he stepped into the room fully, flashing a bright smile before sitting down in a chair that was diagonal to the couch Adrian was sitting on. Momoko came back into the room carrying a tray that had three cups and a pot of tea. “I brought out some snacks too, in case anyone was hungry.” She said, setting the tray down and kneeling to pour tea into each of the cups. There were some cookies and a few onigiri on the tray, Sohta diving straight for a cookie. Just because he had dinner cooking, that didn’t mean he couldn’t snack before.

He stood when her brother came into the room, bowing lightly as he came in in greetings. "Adrian, No- she did invite me however- I couldn't say no. You have a lovely home here." He took a seat and smiled when Momoko came back into the room. "Thank you Momoko." He said as he gave him a cup of tea.

Yumino left work when her hour break came up, thankfully. She was begining to get a headache from looking at all the books and labels all afternoon. She made her way to the convinience store to grab something to eat, glad for even the convinience store bought sandwich at this point. For some reason or another today made her feel hungrier that usual. She made her way back towards the campus, kicking her feet at the sidewalk absent mindedly till her phone rang. She plucked it from her pocket and found it was her mother calling. "Hello Mother." She said rather blandly and her mother gave a sort of a whine. "Ah, Hana-chan can't you call me Mama like other girls do? Maybe with a cuter voice too." Yumino gave her phone a sideways look however she didn't answer the question. Her mother picked up conversation anyways, as she usually did. "Anyways, Hana, I wanted to ask that you come home for breakfast tomorrow. You sent me a message saying you needed some more ingridients correct? And I can't have you going into the market by yourself after all." Her mother was right about that. The magic underground of the city wasn't exactly a safe place to go alone. Only because of the things being sold and the people using them. You never knew who you would get involved with when it came to magic. After all she had found August's name in a book that she found from there that had been scrawled in black ink on one of the pages. "Yes, I think I can be there." Yumino said biting her lip to hide the frown that tried to work its way onto her face when she thought of her predicament with August... "Please Hana-chan! Not a 'I think'! Say yes, for me? Papa also wants you to come home too." Her mother was pulling the father card, since she knew Yumino liked spending time with her family together. Her eyes rolled a bit before she nodded, as if that might translate into the phone. "Sure. But please cook something normal. I don't think I can eat anything exotic again." She said just remembering her mothers experimental magic and cooking together.

Sohta smiled in thanks at Adrian’s complement. Momoko entered the room after and Sohta was glad for the tea and snacks. He sipped his tea as Momoko sat next to Adrian on the couch, a good bit of distance between them. “How was school today?” He questioned her, wondering if anything interesting had happened today. Small talk would suffice until Momoko finally decided to tell him why she really invited Adrian over, or really Sohta was sure he could get Adrian to tell him too. He couldn’t be sure as of now, but Sohta thought that maybe they both had different agendas. Sohta just had a knack for knowing these sorts of things. His mind though, didn’t entirely want to be on this topic. He would rather concentrate on how he was going to deal with tomorrow. He also was having a hard time keeping Yumino from his thoughts. He wondered what she was doing right now and if she was being safe. He didn’t want all the trouble of making her his to go to waste. He also wondered if he should invite her to the concert that he was pretty much being forced into. It would be interesting.
Momoko smiled at her brother questioned, thinking of what she should say. She settled with the bland usual. "It was good, I suppose. I didn't have any tests today, soo." She trailed off and glanced at Adrian, wondering if he would mention her little basketball incident.

Adrian smiled lightly at her avoidance of the P.E. class. " Well she was trying to be a hot shot in out P.E. class and face planted on the floor when she got her feet jerked out from underneath her." He said being a bit of a shit disturber but he himself didn't care she deserved it since she wouldn't pass.

Yumino returned to work after her time away trying to focus on it thought she really found herself having too much free time for thought. There was too much on her mind however to call herself really free. She knew what she had to do when she got home however right now she was stuck waiting. She had to work till closing after all, since it was a wednesday. That was when they took invetory. Hopefully it wouldn't be too late however. She hardly wanted to miss the last bus. ((Lol I mean what more is there to say lol))

Sohta’s eyebrows rose and he turned his ice colored gaze to Momoko. She gave Adrian a look and just smirked. “Well, that’s better than you reading demon summoning texts in the middle of class.” She replied, glancing over to Sohta to see his reaction. He had just started to take a sip when Momoko slipped out that bit of information. He choked a bit on the tea; coughing. He set the cup down and gave a rather well emotionless look to Adrian. This made things just a tad bit more interesting. “You brought a demon summoner into our home?” He questioned, though he tone hid most any emotion he was having. He was disturbed, curious, angry, and happy at the same time. It was a strange mixture that he didn’t quite understand. He figured that he would give Momoko the chance to explain. “Well, I don’t know for sure if he has ever summoned one before.” She said and stuck her tongue at Adrian. The cat was out of the bag now. “I figured that maybe you could help me give him some pointers since you’re the expert.” She added, taking a sip of her tea. She was very calm about this all. If Sohta sensed she was worried about it than he wouldn’t help her. He was all too worried about her safety and it was a worry that she was trying to rid him of. “He’s a friend and I like him well enough, so I gave him a name to use.” Sohta sat a bit straighter at the words and the way that Momoko’s eyes had widened some. She meant her name. She had given a witch who had an interest in summoning demons her name….Things seemed to make a bit more sense, though Sohta had to admit he wasn’t entirely thrilled about it. He leaned back in his chair some and smiled, a bit of humor in his eyes. “A friend of Momoko is a friend of mine.” He said and cocked his head to the side some. “Would it be wrong of me to think that this is not just a social visit?” His eyes were on Adrian now. He wasn’t going to harm the boy at all. He was just a child after all, but he would be having a talk with Momoko later. It seemed his sister had found a witch boy she wanted to protect from other big bad demons.
((Yea…))

When Momoko said that he was a summoner he frowned a bit. Smiling at her in a sarcastic manner he was prepared to defend him self against accusations- however they never came. He noticed how calm she was so he figured it was alright. He was referred of this when her brother said he was welcome. At the mention of the name she had given him he noticed her brother's statue in sitting change. When Sohta's eyes fell on his he sure he appeared confident and calm. He was a perfect poker face- it was beat into him as a child so why not. He gave a soft and very small smile," Indeed, I was curious if you would give me some pointers? Momoko today showed me some summoning Runes-hence where the conversation arose from and she invited me home to speak with you. I hope I haven't imposed on you.--Excuse me." he said being proper still. He was feeling slightly nervous but eh had to stick it out to hopefully get some good tips. he had to excuse himself a moment to step into the hall- his phone was going off. It was his boss- from work- he hoped he didn't have to go in tonight.
((You can lead off it if you want imp))

Sophine didn't know where rumors started around her, to be honest she wasn't even sure if all of them were bad or good. She just knew that they made things quite hard when the university she went to was somewhat filled with a student body that started out in primary school with one another all the way until now. The university was nice, the campus vast with multiple departments. It was almost peaceful here in the passing time between night classes. Well almost was the word for it.... She looked up from the main desk, seeing a a few whispers passing from groups back and forth. A girl got up to return her book but froze when she saw Yumino. "Ah, um here." She said placing the book tentatively on the main desk and taking off back to her table. The whispers starting again, she thought she heard the girl say something about 'I think she's mad at me'. Yumino blinked slowly looking to her reflection from her phone on the desk. She didn't see anger in her face, well she didn't see much of anything really, just neutrality and calm. Her mother had always said she should try to show people her feelings a little more, but Yumino found it took quite a bit of effort for her. So she chose to remain always neutral, to leave people to interpret it as they would.

Sohta was intrigued by this boy, but he didn’t get the chance to when he suddenly heard a phone going off. With a very proper politeness, Adrian excused himself and left the room to answer his phone. Sohta’s eyes turned to Momoko who turned a bit pale when his eyes narrowed. In a speed quicker than any human could wish to move, Sohta was straddling Momoko with his hand around her neck. She had seen it coming and had managed to get her tea out of the way, but that didn’t stop her eyes from widening and a light fear settling in her stomach. Sohta would never truly harm her, but if he wanted quick answers, he knew how to get them. “Why would you tell him your name?” He whispered in her ear, Momoko closing her eyes; the frame of the couch starting to dig into her shoulder blades. “I think he’s a beginner and I don’t want him to get hurt.” She replied, her voice soft. “I already told him he can’t tell anyone else about it.”Sohta leaned back, cocking his head to the side and sighing some, there was an amused smile on his lips. His demeanor suddenly changed as he stood and then picked up Momoko in a bear hug. “Aww, my little sister has a crush!” He sung out, glancing behind him as he knew that Adrian had come back into the room. Of course, Sohta had made sure the boy hadn’t seen or heard any of what happened prior to his hugging of Momoko. Momoko blanched when she saw Adrian, her cheeks proceeding to turn a bright pink. She glared at her brother and when he finally let her go, she punched him, though not too hard. Sohta just laughed. He was a jokester, nothing could change that.

"Yes sir, right away." He said before going back into the room, to hear that Momoko had a crush on some one and her cheeks were almost as pink as a crayon. " Hope I'm not interrupting some family moment. I have to go into work some one called in sick. My apologies for only being here a short period." He bowed a short one in apology however he wanted to stay longer however he knew work came first.

Yumino shoved her stuff into her bag, all but counting down the tim when she would be allowed to clock out. She had to do the full 15 hrs a week to be able to keep her bargain on books for class. She sighed and in the meantime thumbed through her book of spells until it was time. She was bored but hey, at least she could sort off learn some more before she was forced back to work.

Sohta grinned widely, and all but dropped Momoko to the ground. She caught her balance easily, giving a dirty look to the back of her brother’s head. “That’s no problem. Sometimes things come up.” Sohta said and then shrugged lightly. “It was nice meeting you, Adrian.” He then added, brushing past the young boy without another look towards him. Momoko hesitated for a moment before walking up to Adrian and smiling in a pretty fashion. “Maybe we can try this again some other day?” She question, biting her bottom lip in anticipation of what Adrian might say. She would be lying if she said she wasn’t disappointed that he couldn’t stay, but she was glad to at least been given the chance to walk home together. Eventually Momoko walked Adrian out and said her goodbyes at the door. She didn’t see Sohta for a good hour or two; not until he came out and announced that dinner was ready. They ate and Sohta couldn’t help but tease Momoko about her crush on Adrian. There had been a reason the demon girl had been keeping it a secret from him. He did shut up when she brought up Yumino and his odd obsession with her. Momoko thought it a mistake afterwards when his expression turned distant and almost dark. There was something about his relationship with the summoning witch that Momoko was uncomfortable with, unsure about. She didn’t know what he was going to do with the woman.

Adrian smiled and said good bye to both of them, letting Momoko walk him out. He got to work in a short bit and was there for a bit- he wasn't sure when he was going to get off, but he hoped he could get some tire to read tonight.

Yumino found the time moving on and it wasn't until her boss came into the back and told her that it was time to lock up and go for the night. She grabbed her things, thanked him for the night and went out the door. Her phone began to vibrate in her pocket and she lifted it up, her eyes widdening when she saw the alarm on there. The bus had arrived by then and she was still a good few blocks from the stop. She took off running in that direction till she staggered up to the empty stop. She puffed as she leaned against the sign, knowing she had missed it and would have to walk home. She looked ahead and saw the streets were all rather well lit but she knew that to get to her apartment she would have to cut through the bar district. She wasn't necessarily scared, but she did remember warnings her family reminded her of of being a woman alone at night. She fshed in her bag and looked over a spell briefly. It was a lightning focus that turned metal objects to tazer like objects. She looked to the ring on her finger that her mother gave her and she wondered if that might work.... Besides it would only have to be a warning to make the normals leave her be. Not that anyone would really give much care to her...
