[Video/Action]

Good afternoon, Luceti! [There's a beat as she waves into the camera, before turning the view over to quite a large plate of cupcakes. They look rather normal, and all of them have little stars sprinkled on top of them. There's no telling what's actually inside of the things, however.]

I've been baking an awful lot lately to pass time

[minimonsterdad]

[So much concentrated cheer...] Minako-nee, you must have been pretty popular in high school.

[voice]

[arcanaxxii]

[blink blink.] What does that have to do with anything? [And then she shakes her head, because there were much more important things to be doing!] Never mind that! What are you doing right now, Loki-kun? I need you to help me with something!

[voice]

[minimonsterdad]

[Hm?] I'm about to leave the library. What is it?

[voice]

[arcanaxxii]

Just a few errands here and there. Nothing much, trust me! [...and maybe a little bit of a devious undertone.]

[voice]

[minimonsterdad]

... [This is a face of trusting.]

I see. Do you need me to come back?

[voice]

[arcanaxxii]

[In response to the face of trusting, is the face of sincerity!]

You can finish what you're doing first. It might take a while, after all.

[voice]

[minimonsterdad]

Then I'll just check a few of these out... [There's a sound of books being shuffled around.]

[And this will be a pointless question, but he feels like he should ask anyway.] Hey. Should I be worried?

[voice]

[arcanaxxii]

Why do you ask that? [The most innocent of questions, Loki.]

[voice --> action]

[minimonsterdad]

[Innocence makes the best mask. He knows it well...] Just a feeling.

[And in about half an hour, he'll arrive at house #21. As he opens the door, he announces his return.] I'm back...

[action]

[arcanaxxii]

[...and she's been waiting for you, Loki! Guess whose ears perk up when they hear the doors open - do you happen to like hugs? Because ones coming towards you right now!] Welcome back!!

[action]

[minimonsterdad]

Uwagh! [He holds up his books defensively, but the futility is overwhelming. AND THAT BETTER NOT BE A BOOB-LEVEL HUG.] Yes, thank you!!

[action]

[arcanaxxii]

[YOU ARE A KID AND ARE THEREFORE SHORTER THAN HER, so it can be one?]

Would you like to rest a bit, and then go? Or do you have enough energy to keep going on? [You have obtained a permanently attached Minako! ... Well, at least for now until you decide your next course of action.]

[action]

[minimonsterdad]

[... Okay let him secretly enjoy that for a moment and then WIGGLE FOR FREEDOM.]

Oi, how weak do you think I am? Let me put these down, then we'll go.

[action]

[arcanaxxii]

[What. You don't like hugs? ;; Okay, fine, you're excused.]

Like I said! It's going to be a busy day today, for you and me. Best get all the rest you can!

[action]

[minimonsterdad]

[He straightens his clothes out.] A busy day, hm... You still haven't told me exactly where we're going.

[action]

[arcanaxxii]

You'll see, you'll see! I don't want to ruin the surprise. Now off we go! [Ushering you out of the door--] If all goes well, we could go for ice cream after since it's a nice summer day today. I haven't had any in so long!
