“Hmm…” Dahlia appeared to think it over. “How about…no.” 

“I don’t take orders from pretentious fashion disasters.” She clicked her tongue in disapproval. “Your face is tolerable, but your hair is a fright. I don’t even want to bring up the glasses.”

“How do you expect me to trust a man who can’t even dress himself properly?” she demanded, narrowing her eyes. 

“Besides, who’s to say you won’t ‘arrest’ me as soon as I put this down?”

“This gun is the only thing keeping you in check.”

Well, he should have known that wouldn’t go over well. But he can’t back out now, not when she’s a danger to him. Not when she’s a danger to other people. Katsuya has an obligation to--

What.

“E...xcuse me?”

He shakes his head; he’s a sharp dresser, he’s a sharp dresser, he’s a sharp dresser... she’s probably trying to distract him. Clever. She knows exactly where to strike. He’s quickly learned not to underestimate her. 

“You said it yourself. If there are no laws against it, I can’t arrest you. Not as long as you don’t shoot me, that is.”

There he goes again, although she can recognize his honest concern and need of taking care of almost everything as something good it wasn’t entirely harmless. “You worry because you care, it’s normal. Tatsuya-kun is only more shy than you- but I’m sure he loves you all the same.” She speaks with confidence on the topic, brotherly love is surely a beautiful thing that not many can comprehend. Devotion she can admit envying, as she had no one but her mother but hopefully, could form her own family and solidify a beautiful bond in a later future.

The kitten is like a small step and she doesn’t waste time on bringing it up into her arms when having the opportunity.

“Wanna come to check? I don’t know my way around that well, maybe we can find it faster with the two of us.”

“Here it won’t matter, when I return then Ulala can help me! Yuki too.” Ulala might get mad, though – Maya isn’t very reliable at times and she’s fully aware but can go an extra mile for certain things. “What do you think?”

Katsuya pinches the bridge of his nose, quietly listening to her. He’s not about to argue; Maya has a certain finesse when it comes to speaking that he lacks above all else. He can tell it’s from the heart, anyway. It’s almost as if she knows more about his younger brother than he does.

But he can’t be upset about that, not at the moment, and he balks when she doesn’t hesitate to scoop up the frightened feline into her arms... luckily for her, it seems to have mostly calmed down.

“That sounds like a good idea. I don’t mind walking with you, at any rate...”

He exhales, attempting to ease his anxious mind, even slowly reaching out to gauge the kitten’s reaction before giving it a few quick pets. It shouldn’t instigate a reaction. Hopefully. As long as there’s no hair that stays on his hands... he brushes them off to be certain.

“As long as you’re sure... I can try to help, too. To the best of my ability.”

If they do find a pet store, they should allow them in with the cat; if not he could always stay outside with--

With the cat? No... that’s just asking for an allergic reaction! He’d have to go in himself and get what she needs for her. It’d be no problem, of course. Katsuya’s done his fair share of research on these things.

“”I suppose we should get going, then.”

[suouburns]

preciousdollie:

“Oho~, is that a threat?”

“But I haven’t done anything wrong, o f f i c e r.” Dahlia played with the syllables in his title. “There’s no law against the possession of firearms in this city. In fact, I’d say the scientists encourage it.”

Why else would BB guns and wooden knives be part of the standard starter pack?

“Are you sure you want to subdue me? I could report you for harassment, you know.”

“I’d prefer you perceive it as an order.”

She’s right, though. There really is no shortage of weapons in this place... that much he’s observed in his short time here.

“All right. Let’s compromise, then. Lower your weapon, please.”

The girl can report him for harassment all she wants; he’s just protecting himself! Authority or not, he’ll defend his body from relative harm if he has any say over it.

“Or at least stop pointing it at me...”

preciousdollie:

The aborted movement doesn’t escape her eye, and Dahlia smiles. No weapon? Ah, no wonder.

He was a newbie.

“I’m afraid you’re out of your jurisdiction, officer.”

“Where’s your Hive City PD badge?”

(Just try and stop me.)

He still had his badge from before, right? Even if he did... does it matter here at all?

“Consider me off duty for the time being.”

It pains him to say it, but it’s not like his rank or authority is going to be taken into consideration right now. Not with that look on her face, not with that unwavering stance. Does she intend to fire at him?

At the edge of his mind he can sense Helios’s presence, ready to defend him if it comes down to a fight. That’s a scenario he absolutely has to accept.

“I’ll ask you one more time. Put your weapon down. I don’t want to forcibly subdue you.”

[suouburns]

hyoukin:

She places a hand on his shoulder, briefly.  “We can handle it later. Sumaru city will be fine without us for sometime.”

“Your brother might be worried, though. I believe you need to return to him…” Vocals restrain the lingering sadness that attempts lurking in, looking onto another direction. She is aware here it won’t matter if she speaks about Tatsuya, they won’t meet again but the mere idea of speaking his name is enough to trouble the journalist.

Enough of that, she shouldn’t get upset right now.

Maya loosens her tie and takes it off, placing it on the ground. “Maybe he’ll want to play with this and approach us.” She should ask for his jacket to wrap the feline around but leaving his suit infested of fur isn’t exactly a good idea. She doesn’t try to cut in distance, but knows it’s not a simple task –

“I don’t like this sector for a kitty, it’s dangerous.” And literally toxic.  “That’s it, I’ll keep it!”

He closes his eyes, pausing. There really was no use getting stressed out over things in Sumaru when he wasn’t there...

With a nod he looks to her, mentally accepting this. It would take a lot of getting used to, but he had no other choice, did he?

“Tatsuya... I’m usually the brother that ends up doing all the worrying. I just hope he’s all right.”

Maya doesn’t give him time to dwell on that, either; she’s using her tie as a means to try and draw the frightened cat out, and she seems to have attracted its interest.

“Really? Is there a pet store anywhere nearby? He’s probably hungry, too.”

Katsuya couldn’t suddenly decide he was going to take in a stray cat, but she was awfully generous to resolve to take it in without so much as a second thought.

“Are pets even allowed in your apartment...?”

[suouburns]

preciousdollie:

“Don’t move.”

“I’m practicing my aim.”

She’s never fired a gun before, you see.

“Miss?”

Katsuya sees a gun and instantly goes to reach for his own, only to find that it isn’t there. The BB gun he was given might as well be useless considering its stopping power and size, but he’s so used to having his pistol at his side...

“I’m going to ask you to put the gun down! As an officer of the law, I will forcibly disarm you...!”

hyoukin:

Sugarcoating things is a given, she’s clueless to her own inappropriate commentaries but can’t help finding amusing the many reactions it can provoke. His quick switch of expression receives a heartfelt laugh, partially glad of it – such familiarity gave a sense of comfort.

“Sorry, sorry… but just because it’s abduction doesn’t mean it is a bad thing!” It definitively is, she’s fairly aware of the implications but that can drive his worries elsewhere alongside her own. “See it as a well-deserved vacation.”

“It’ll be okay, we can do this! My percent of success increased when you appeared! We’ll have a kitty in no time.” She needs to encourage him, somehow. Possible collateral damage aside, there should be no issue so long as she can control her excitement – Artemis materializes right behind her and she goes quiet for a second, pondering what would be the best approach. “Now, go!” Smaller ice projectiles are directed toward the grate, specifically its corners –

“I’m a delicate maiden so I’ll leave the handy work to you☆ “

“I will be getting to the bottom of this, vacation or not. Abduction is a serious offense...”

What if Joker’s here too? He can’t spend a single moment relaxing either way; but he’ll have to think about those things after he rescues this cat. Just another day on the Force... sort of.

He nods at her in confirmation, ready to respond.

Watching, Katsuya waits just a moment for the attack to do its damage, nearly tripping over himself as he moves toward the grate and the cat only to remember his condition.

And Maya seems as if she’s fully relying on him to capture it.

He really is going to ring in his arrival here with an allergic reaction.

“Okay... here, kitty kitty...”

Trying to coax the scared feline out from the sewer is much easier said than done. It bristles defensively as he gets nearer, and Katsuya does his best to seem nonthreatening.

He’d like to avoid hives and itching and uncontrollable sneezing if he can at all.

“Miss Amano... do you think it’d be okay if we just let it run off on its own?”

For the sake of character development, feel free to ask me anything you would like to know or are unsure of about my muse.

[suouburns]

hyoukin:

She ponders in silence, what can. From one Suou to another, at least she could meet him and made her wonder where the other would be – far away as possible, hopefully. “It’s good to see you.” Circumstances variate, she is aware there’s duty and responsibilities to attend, they can’t nor spare time when Sumaru city awaits but she knows bringing it up will worry him further. Katsuya is easy to read and thus, he receives her brightest smile.

“I was abducted! You too?” So much for trying a subtle approach, delicacy is a quality she can’t grasp for too long. She can ask more, but perhaps when the feline is free they can chat as much as they like – Maya looks again at it, regaining her pensive look. “Ah, maybe we can use magic! Can you summon your Persona? Or would Bufu work better…?!”

“It’s good to see you too...”

He receives a single moment to enjoy her smile before his heart drops.

“W-What!? Abducted?”

Adjusting his glasses, he frowns deeply, looking back up to Maya.

“You don’t have to say it so cheerfully...”

This woman! Sometimes Katsuya wonders about her. Her positivity seems to know no bounds. There should be plenty of time to focus on that later, though. The cat is of highest priority right now.

“Do you think it’d be okay...? I don’t want to hurt it...”

Pondering, he wonders if summoning Helios would do the trick... but Agi’s not exactly the safest spell to cast in an enclosed area with a small furry creature depending on him.

“I believe Bufu would be better suited for this situation. Just don’t go rushing in once we get the grate off. It’s probably scared, it may lash out at us in self defense.”

If that were to happen, he’d have to rescue the cat and Maya, and that’d probably involve holding the cat, too... having an allergic reaction is not how he wants to ring in his arrival here.

District Beta is no place for animals, at least those having yet to be affected by the radioactive environs. It’s quite the surprise leaving her room because of a sonorous ‘meow’ yet the feline was nowhere to be found. Much to her surprise, it was inside one of the sewers from a wall.

Bending on her knees to watch the cat, she frowned almost immediately. It could be dangerous, even if it was just a stray! Nearing footsteps draw her attention and she doesn’t waste a second on worrying if this will irrupt their daily routine. “Perfect timing! I need to get this little guy out from here, can you give me a hand? And a screwdriver, probably.” She’s slow in the uptake and when her head turns, blinking twice and seems it takes more the necessary to acknowledge the familiar face,

“…Katsuya?”

[suouburns]

Being a newcomer here means getting the most information he can, but doing that isn’t as easy when you’re suddenly out of police records and resources. He might as well be a bird with its wings clipped, but Katsuya has enough street smarts to know what to do and how to act.

He’s been playing it safe, trying to gather intel without seeming too lost; the last person he’d ask is one crouched over something, but she seemed approachable enough to warrant a few questions.

“Miss, are you--”

Meow. Oh. It’s a cat she seems to be fixated on. Well, as long as he doesn’t get too close--

Katsuya had a familiar feeling about her, from her hair down to her very unique choice of clothing, but that was only from the back. It couldn’t possibly be--

“Miss Amano...?”

He kneels next to her, looking between the trapped feline and Very Obviously Maya.

“What are you doing here?”

The cat’s cries make him frown, and he eyes the barrier separating it from the outside of the enclosure.

“And what have you gotten yourself into... poor thing...”

Katsuya certainly doesn’t have a screwdriver, but perhaps he can devise some other way to free the distressed animal. He has to do something. He’s not about to leave either of them here.
