[Rise may not be afraid of the dark but there was still something that unsettled her. She looked out her window watching the fog rise up as far as the eye could see. Letting out a sigh, she looks into the Dreamberry.]This place is staring to remind me too much of stuff back home. And no, it's not necessarily a good thing

Hey... Are you okay, Rise?

[notjust_risette]

I'm fine, Akihiko-kun. I just don't like how this feels, that's all.

[rise_to_caesar]

[He's silent for a moment, considering his words. It's a bit of a bold statement but he feels its his duty as both an officer of the law and a gentleman to extend the invitation.] Did you want to come stay at the Dusk for a while? We have some extra rooms and... Maybe being around Persona users would put your mind at ease.

[notjust_risette]

[Had the circumstances been different, Rise would've taken him up on that offer instantaneously. But she had promised Abel to keep Harley at bay from the food for the time being and there was still Nai to watch over, too.]

Thanks, Akihiko-kun but I think I'll stay here for a while though. I've kinda got stuff to take care off.

Maybe I could drop by though, if that's okay.

[rise_to_caesar]

Of course. Anytime you'd like.

I'm pretty busy with the force right now but there's bound to be someone there. Someone would definitely let you in and you know I'd make sure they treated you right.

[notjust_risette]

Still keeping up with work, huh? They must be working you to the bone with everything that's happening now.

I'd really appreciate that, Akihiko-kun. Thanks.

[rise_to_caesar]

Yeah... Hopefully they'll give me a few days off after this whole thing is over.

[He pauses a moment, giving her a reassuring smile] Be sure to come by sometime though... There's a few new people here at the Dusk I'd like you to meet.

[notjust_risette]

They should. I mean, you're the one who said that you've never missed a day of work. You deserve a break!

Oh yeah? Looks like I'll really have to pass by then.

[rise_to_caesar]

Any time you feel up for it is good enough for me. Or even if you want to stop by the station, you know I'd look after you if you needed me to - even if I was supposed to be working.

[notjust_risette]

Aww, you'd really do that for me?

How about I head to the station sometime then we could walk back to the Dusk together? That way we'd be able to spend some time together and I'll get to meet your friends, too.

[rise_to_caesar]

If you're willing to come out here, I'd be more than happy to do that. It's a bit of a walk when the train through the city is out of order but I get off around six - five thirty if there's not much going on.

[notjust_risette]

I think I'll be able to make it. I'll bring Noireau along so I'll have some company with me while I walk there.

[rise_to_caesar]

Sounds good.

[He pauses for a moment before adding-] How is she around other dogs?

[notjust_risette]

She's actually really playful around them. At least, she has been with the new puppy we have around.

[rise_to_caesar]

Good to know. Keibi's trained to avoid distractions, so there shouldn't be any issues when they're together.

[notjust_risette]

Aww, Keibi's such a cute name. Were you the one who thought of it?
