Without warning, someone emerges into the Nexus through a swirling portal of light.

The smartly-dressed young man, one-handedly adjusting a pair of dark-framed glasses on his nose as he walks, appears to be quite involved in paging through a book of some sort, hence not noticing that he is most likely not where he was actually intending to be. It's only when he finally looks up from the book--

"--I can't be sure as of yet, but it appears...that it...might..."

Yes, this is definitely not where he meant to end up.

He blinks slowly - once, twice, three times, absently taking a bookmark from his pocket so he can close the book and take a very good look around.

A brochure from a nearby table finds its way quickly into his hands, and while it doesn't really explain things to his satisfaction, at least it gives him a bit of an idea to work with. Now...a question. Which involves picking one out of the multitude swirling round in his head.

"...How - hypothetically, mind you - would one go about showing their appreciation to someone who was kind enough to take them in? Without overstepping their boundaries," he hurries to add the last bit, looking sour.

"And the teeth." Kazuma can't help but laugh.

((I hope you know I almost made him say "for the love of Godiva". *hee*))

[brave_heart_verity]

"Them too," she agrees with a giggle. "And thus, we find the seeds of our own downfall."

((OMG that is a great line!))

[hafuri_shinki]

"The tastiest downfall." And now Kazuma wants chocolate.

((I thought you might agree! :D))

[brave_heart_verity]

Mm, chocolate. That sounds like a good plan to her, too. "Sometimes the sin is worth the fall."

((But ofc I have the good sense to like good things. :P))

[hafuri_shinki]

"Absolutely." And if the fall is into, say, a vat of chocolate? Even better.

A sudden tingle of energy gets Kazuma's attention, though, and he glances up in surprise to see his portal has regenerated itself. "...How convenient. I suppose I'd best take advantage of this while I can."

((That you certainly do~))

[brave_heart_verity]

That would be chocolate heaven.

Ver follows the direction of his gaze. An eyebrow arches; that's surprisingly convenient, even for this place. "Yeah, you probably should. It was nice to meet you."

[hafuri_shinki]

Chocolate overload. In the good way.

"Oh yes, a pleasure indeed." Kazuma sounds like he genuinely means it, offering Verity a bright smile and bowing slightly to her. "I'll see you next time, then? Because I'm sure there will be a next time."

[brave_heart_verity]

Is there a bad way?

Ver gives him a smile and a wave. "I'll be around!"

[hafuri_shinki]

"I'll be looking forward to it~"

And with that, he darts through his portal, imagining he can hear Bishamon calling for him to come here right this instant.
