Ichijou was a bit tired, his sleeping schedule becoming more and more off kilter since he had started sleeping earlier and earlier in the morning. He fell asleep at around one in the morning and woke up at about noon, a time a vampire normally wasn't awake. But he needed to see Juuri and have a talk with her along with Doumeki. He'd probably pull an "all day-er" and reset his clock.

When he and Doumeki reached Juuri's house, he knocked on the door. He knew very well that she knew they were there, but he wanted to be polite, of course and announce their arrival properly.

Ichijou had still been sleeping when he left for his lesson with Cissnei, so Doumeki had left out some of the eggs and rice he'd made for breakfast for him to eat, wrapped up in the fridge with a note.

After getting back from his lesson and conversation with Cissnei, Doumeki had felt drained and had a bit of a nap in lieu of the afternoon drink or two he would normally have had. The urge to drink was still there, and strong, but he was fighting it. Cissnei had given him some things to think about, just as Ichijou and Kunogi had done.

After waking up from his nap, he had a quick shower, and walked with Ichijou to Juuri's house, keeping quiet, standing just behind Ichijou, his senses on alert in case of Zero or that Alucard.

Standing, Juuri left the table behind to answer the door. Opening it, she smiled at them both, hoping to put them both more at ease. Of course she knew Takuma, but this was her first time seeing Doumeki. "Please come in, you two. Have a seat at the table. Tea will be ready in a minute."

She left them at the door, to pick up the kettle a second before it started whistling. Pouring tea for all of them, Juuri then placed the tea tray on the table, setting cups down at the empty chairs waiting for the two boys. Now back in her seat, the desserts were there for them to take should they want them, she however, would not be taking one.

Ichijou smiled back at her and nodded, stepping inside and taking his shoes off at the door. He made his way over to the table with Doumeki behind him and he took a seat and eying the sweets that were placed out for them.

He gave her a bright smile for her hospitality. "Thank you, Juuri-sama", he said picking up a sweet between two fingers and taking a small, delicate bite then placing it onto one of the empty plates that was next to his tea cup. He remained silent for the moment, not knowing where to start with the conversation. He was feeling a bit sheepish because even though he was told he wasn't in trouble, he still felt like he did something wrong. It was like he was eight years old again and he did something a little foolish.
