Code 10|

[butterflypsych]

[For listening the phone lines, Metis realized she wouldn't be safe in this house. Not that she thought Sanzo would be a bad person and get revenge for mother's day, but it was better to be safe than sorry.]

...I need a place to hide. That's all.

[illusionkiller]

Are you okay? Just tell me where you are and I'll come pick you up!

[butterflypsych]

Kramden Road 1488, in the living room. I-I mean..

[..It seemed like the commands really worked. All the more reason to hide.]

I'm alright, but.. I don't know if it's a good idea...

[illusionkiller]

*He's wondering why Metis isn't arguing with him. The only conclusion he can come to is that she is actually in danger.

Touma has already hung up and a few minutes later he's busting through the door without knocking, breathing heavily as if he ran the whole way.*

Are you here, Metis!?

[butterflypsych]

I-I'm here! [And she comes to the door. There's nothing out of place, and she looks fine too.]

Did you run here? ..There was no need for you to hurry.. you should have let me explain first.

[illusionkiller]

*Touma looks confused for a bit, and then sighs. It's a sigh of half relief and half embarrassment.*

Sorry, I got a little carried away. Do you want to leave now or do you want to explain the situation now?

[butterflypsych]

..I see.

You don't know what day it is? [She's bit scared to say what day it is. Really, she should learn to be bit more trusting.] I can explain later.

[illusionkiller]

Alright, let's get going then. My house should be safe.

*Touma starts down the road towards his pad.*

[butterflypsych]

[And Metis follows.]

...I-I'm not in danger. ...And I would have been fine without help too... So this doesn't count.

[illusionkiller]

Doesn't count for what?

[butterflypsych]

..As help. I-I would have been fine on my own.

[illusionkiller]

*Touma smiles to himself.*

Sure, if that'll make you feel better about it then I'm fine with that.

[butterflypsych]

[Metis is just silent for a moment. ...She should be able to trust Touma. ..And he would find out at some point anyway.]

...It's Father's day today.

[illusionkiller]

Oh yeah, I guess it is, isn't it?

*He thinks nothing of what she said since he wasn't around for the mother's day event. Welp.*

[butterflypsych]

...Do you even know what it means?

[illusionkiller]

I can't exactly wish my dad a happy father's day here.

[butterflypsych]

I take that as a 'no'.

....It was the same on mother's day, but it's reversed now. The women have to follow every command given by male, even if the orders were given by accident.
