Cirus chuckles softly to himself as she says that, shaking his head. "No, no, I'm just your counselor." He grins to himself. It must be quite frustrating for Kestrel... it seemed as though he acted up when Cirus said that about chaos and control. Heheh... did he recognize him? He must be steaming in there... Hahaha.

Raine shrugged as she paid for everything she bought and took teh bags from the cashier with a nod. She wasn't about to dig into her head to see what was up with the obviously frustrated yet quiet demon. Though all it did for Raine was make her a bit easier to deal with, yet still her usual callous self. She left the store with Cirus following and looked around. She wasn't about to go seek out Ayaka. Besides, it seemed she'd busied herself very well with the new strangers.

He notices a slight change. She wasn't trying to force him away anymore, or at least hadn't made another attempt, yet. "So, what's next on the list, Raine-san? I can help you carry anything you might need help with." He walks alongside her, not seeming too concerned with anything. "Raine-san, I'd like to talk to you about Yukihiro-kun, if I may. You're roommates, right? You don't seem to get along well, from what I've seen... may I ask why?"

Raine frowned. "Next? I'm probably just going to go back to the dorms to put this stuff away." She said, looking around before starting down the road. Cirus asked about Ayaka. And Raine's frown turned into a momentary scowl. "Because. She's a spoiled brat who thinks that everyone should think and live like she does." She grumbled, not enjoying Cirus's change of subject. "She seems to assume she'll get whatever she wants if she just says she wants it. I just...don't like people like her."

"Mmm... yes, that can be quite annoying to deal with. I know, when Kimiko - ah... Regan's mother... married the wealthy German entrepreneur that she did, I was greeted with a man who had a bad habit of buying whatever it is he fancied. Kimiko was quickly able to pound that habit out of him... He wanted to buy her love, would you believe it? Didn't work, naturally. But, well, that's a long story. She wouldn't be bought, so he had to do something the long and involved way." Cirus shrugs, turning to look at Raine. "The point is, change doens't come easily, or swiftly, but it's possible. In fact, Regan is going to be training Yukihiro-kun, and you bet that's going to have some effect on her outlook. In the meantime, however, you may find it easier to deal with her if you don't turn her away so absolutely. You can help her change, y'know. Getting angry and pushing her away isn't going to help, but if you stay calm and get close, not only will you have yourself a friend, you can help her to change and better herself. One less annoying person in the world at that point, right?"

Raine just gave a small huff. "I'd care less about it if she'd stop trying to change me into some prissy chick." She commented, not looking at Cirus. "She doesn't get it. I'm not that kind of girl. I never was, and Kestrel has nothing to do with that. I just want her to leave me the hell alone and stop ranting about how I'm not lady-like." She admitted. This wasn't just Raine. Raine wasn't about to make Cirus sound like it was, either.

"... Oh yeah, she -is- like that, isn't she?" Cirus scratches at his chin, looking aside before shaking his head and smiling at Raine, softly. "Honesty is best, I think. If you tell her how you fell, I'm sure she'll understand. If not... tell Regan." Regan has a knack for this sort of thing, really. "Besides, Yukihiro-kun is going to be undergoing martial arts training from Regan... I'm sure that'll help. But, you can't expect anything to get better if you don't try to do something about it. Yelling isn't going to help, either... stay calm and talk to her about it. That's what works best, in this sort of situation. Usually."

Raine sighed. "I don't yell at her. But she's hard to talk to, much less live with." She muttered. "Whatever. I'll try to stop instigating stuff with her if you just change the subject again. Either that or leave me be." She said, glancing at Cirus.

Cirus laughs softly to himself, grinning. "Haha, alright, fair enough. Raine-san, what do you do with your spare time? If I may ask..." He turns to the young woman, though figures it couldn't hurt to give a look into his own hobbies. "Myself, I love my work, so I usually find myself tinking with one of my gadgets... or just lounging around as a fox, but... well."

Raine was quite for a moment. Idle chat. She didn't like it, but she should have expected it when she asked him to change the subject. "Uh...mess with video games. And computers." She shrugged. "I, uh, meditate sometimes too...but that's for Kestrel. Spell my father taught me when I was a kid. But...I haven't had a chance to do it in a couple days. That might be why he's been restless." Raine admitted, looking at the ground as she walked.

"Computers and video games, huh? Regan's into video games, I'm sure she'd play with you, sometime. And computers? I think you'd get along well with my daughter. She built her own smart AI, y'know." Cirus nods softly, though he's caught a tad off guard by the fact that she meditates. "Meditation...? Would it help if you had someone to meditate with? I'd be more than happy to. If not me, then Regan, I'm sure. I can't suggest too many people, though... I haven't had a chance to familiarize myself very well with the student body, here."
"You said my name, grandpa?"
"Ah, speak of the devil... Vortex, what're you doing here?"
"Mamma no longer needs my help building Project Starlight. She's in the final stages, so she told me she can handle the rest and to come check up on you... make sure you didn't fall and break a hip. <3"
"I'm not -that- old..." Cirus groans. He lifts his left glove and a small holoprojector lights up. There's the image of a young woman in a stylish jumpsuit that appears, her hair put up in a bun, locks of hair loose from the bun in a spiral fashion, like a vortex.

Raine quickly answered. "No!" She grimaced and shook her head, stopping to look at him. "Don't. Ever. It's nothing personal...but the spell I use...it's binding, more so than a pactio. No one is allowed to be near me when I use it." She explained. She blinked when she heard another voice, and saw...who was this? Hologram of some person?

"Ok... I won't, then. But, even if you just meditate to meditate, it can help clear your mind." He nods to hear, before turning back to Vortex. "As for -this little nuisance... this is Vortex, my daughter's brain-child. Serenity programmed her, herself."
"The hell you're 'not that old', you're- mmgn!" Vortex gets muffled out by Cirus's hand, who looks around after telling her to hush. Vortex continues, quieter. "Fifteen hundred years old... y'old coot." To which Cirus just groans.

Raine watched them talk and raised a brow. Did she just say 1500 years old? Holy s**t, this guy was a lot older than he looked. Vortex. Interesting name. Programmed...everything about what Cirus was involved with seem to revolve around heavy technologies then. Raine didn't even know he had a child, but then again, she didn't know anything about him.

"Vortex, hush and go check on Regan." Cirus dismisses the AI, who disappears and the holoprojector in his glove shuts off. He turns back to Raine. "I guess that cat's out of the bag..." He clears his throat, shaking his head. "In any case... do you have a third roommate? You've mentioned Yukihiro-kun often enough, but I know the dorms room three students per. Usually."
