the look on his face was priceless, she couldn't help but have a smile on her face. it's not everyday a person has the fifth emperor of rome lounging on their couch.

"no need to look so surprised, you did leave your door unlocked! and i just happened to waltz in, your companion here did not even react to my presence," she points to one of his dogs that are by her feet snoozing away. "you never told me you had an animal as adorable as this one!"

normally, nero doesn't even entertain the idea of going into someone's living area without permission. ah well, she is known to be a selfish individual. "such a magnificent space you have here, do you perhaps have room for another?"

Makoto’s time outside the house doesn’t often take her to the island’s branches. They’re fun for a day trip, but most people seem content to stay within Spirale’s main city, and she feels similarly. Sometimes people need to get out of the house, though, especially when they start responding to texts with only one word.

Maybe it was the opportunity to explore a new place, or maybe it was because Makoto said she’d pay for lunch, but after a short boat ride across the sea, she finds herself stepping out onto the Sunset Circuit’s boardwalk alongside Victor Dumont.

“Name checks out,” she says, squinting into the sunset despite it barely being noon. “Man, you’re lucky you can just wear sunglasses, Vic. You don’t know how hard poor folks like me have it.”

It’s too warm for her usual coat, but hot enough that no one bats an eye at a crop top. In fact, it feels like a lovely summer day, and Makoto realizes she hasn’t really taken advantage of the peaceful season.

“C’mon, we’re burnin’ daylight,” she says, trotting down the wooden boards. “Don’t wanna keep the town waiting, do we Vic? I’m sure it wouldn’t be too hard to find a burger place somewhere around here if your stomach’s growling.”

He could use a day out, she thinks. They haven’t been talking as much lately, but Makoto’s canny when she needs to be. It’s subtlety that she lacks, but for now she can try to play it cool, for his sake.

“Oh, Victor, I finally found you.”

Nobunaga still didn’t like these ‘phones’ everyone used. It wasn’t the same as speaking to someone face-to-face so she was adamant on simply finding him naturally. Which was harder than she had given it credit for. She had briefly seen him on one of those metallic horses, though the engine had definitely overpowered her shout for him at the time.

“I had missed you during your hospital stay. You recover quickly.”

Small talk before getting to the topic she really wanted to speak about. What she’d seen in the forest interested her greatly...
