Raven was meditating. Or, more accurately, she had been, until she sensed something she didn't expect... the presence of a demon. Instantly aware, she was already making her way down the stairs and outside.

There he was.

She watched him carefully, not making any threatening moves at him, waiting to see what he would do. She would not underestimate him, nor would she elicit any unnecessary fights. No, for now, she would only watch him and be ready if he threatened anyone in any way.

A demon...

Naoki stopped in his tracks as it hit him. He could sense one. Strong, but it was a beast on a leash.

He kept walking, pausing when he saw a flash of purple.

There she was.

He began walking again as she stood ready, obviously waiting to see if he was a threat.

Perhaps he would be.

Perhaps not.

She was closer now, still staring steadily. His footsteps crushed the snow as he approached, halting when he was only a few feet away from her.

Both stared, measuring each other. It was silent.

Naoki's mouth opened.

"What do you seek?"

So he could sense her, too.

She watched him, taking note of every move he made, and every possible attack he could make. That is, if he didn't use magic, too. She watched as he walked up to her, as he stopped to speak.

What did she...?

"I could ask you the same thing," she replied.

Neither raised an arm, but Naoki had no illusions, no pretenses about what this was.

A standoff.

He privately thanked Riza again. There were a lot of things he had left to learn, but now he could talk...or fight...better than previously. Somewhat.

The question came back to him, and unlike her, he caught it and held it firm.

What do you seek, Demi-Fiend?

Father asked. Yuko never stopped asking. Hikawa wanted to know. Isamu and Chiaki too. Even Aradia.

It was a long time since he'd ever had to pause to answer.

He didn't pause now.

"Many things. A home. Truth...your name?"

The last came with a small smile.
