[KNOCK-KNOCK! Marisa Kirisame is on the other side of your door looking all business. Business with a grin!]

I need to search your residence. Step aside, ze. I'll be in and out in a jiff~

[Marisa is hunting for zombie stowaways as per her job this month. She may or may not steal stuff while searching...]

[ofnoblemind]

[...How rude. And no, he's not letting you in.]

State your reason.

[ofnoblemind]

[What.

Even.

This does not make any sense.]

...How would it have gotten in?

[THIS IS IMPORTANT TO KNOW.]

[magus_knight]

[She points to the ventilation duct.]

Through there.

[ofnoblemind]

...Then it would be a good idea to check it for more of...those.

[He has no doubts he could cut it down, but he'd rather not take that chance in case this sort of thing happens again.

[magus_knight]

I was planning on it. Here, hold this.

[And she thrusts the limp, unconscious leech toward him.]

[ofnoblemind]

[Disgusting. Does she have any idea who he is? People can't just shove foul creatures at him!

But he hesitantly takes it and holds it at arms' length, just it case it woke up and tried to go for his head, or somewhere else.]

This isn't the type whose ashes are dangerous, no?

[magus_knight]

[Marisa gives no fucks who he is. He's just some guy with weird hair thingies to her. While he's holding the leech, she holds her hand out. From by the door, her broom flies over to her and then she sits on it, flying up to look into the duct.]

No... they're just real nasty when a bunch get together.

[ofnoblemind]

[Oh. That is good.]

Then I will destroy this one.

[Unless she wants to keep it for research or something.]

[magus_knight]

No, you won't. I need it, ze. Just hold onto it for now.

[ofnoblemind]

[Sigh. Of course.

But he does keep holding the leech.]

[magus_knight]

[Good boy!]

I don't see any more... I'm gonna ward this in case others come this way.

[ofnoblemind]

Mn.

[This is stupid. There shouldn't have been a leech in his room at all.]

[magus_knight]

[She mutters an incantation and a Solomon's Seal forms over the duct for a few seconds before fading from sight.]

There. It should last a few days and you'll be fine. I'll take that back now. [pointing to the leech.]

[ofnoblemind]

[Only a few days? He'll be sure to put up a kidou barrier afterward, then. Just to make sure.

At her request, he holds out the creature. Happily, though his face is still that emotionless facade.]

[magus_knight]

[It's not like she's going to need more than a few days. Why waste the energy when she's putting so many wards up?]

Thanks.

[And she stuffs the leech inside a bag she pulls from her cloak.]
