  Axel was awake, already getting ready. He had a habit of waking up early about now. If for the sake of going to change in the bathroom without possible interruption. It was easier that way after all, now that he had to live with these two girls. Living with other people made keeping things secret a lot...harder. He changed into his male uniform before stepping out, gathering his things in his bag. Walking into the kitchen, he readied some toast to settle on for now as he wondered if the other two girls were even awake yet. he hadn't checked, and neither had budged. Gilly...her mood had been questionable lately. Maybe because of the last days of the trip. He didn't bug her too much, if at all. But he sort of wanted to. He did worry, even if she could put up a pretty good front for Mika not to get concerned too.

It was morning again and Masato quietly got out of bed, taking care not to wake Gilly before stretching like a large cat on the floor, yawning with his mouth wide open and all of his teeth showing, and then getting back up and shaking his fur, prior to his ears twitching and then beginning his morning ritual. Masato trotted past the kitchen area, waving at Axel with a paw before closing the bathroom door behind himself and turning on the shower. A few minutes in the shower, followed by the toilet flushing and then the blowdryer running and Masato came back out with his fur clean, smelling faintly of soap, and fluffy before crawling back in bed with Gilly. She'd been quite moody since Osaka, which really worried him and Ayame (back in her human form and in the faculty apartments under her original guise as a visiting professor), but until she opened up, the best he could do was be a loyal friend and familiar to her and support her in any way she'd allow him to.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx ↓ down.Early. Early. Waaaay too early. With a slight groan of distaste for the mornings, Gilly rolled over on her other side, her blanket still wrapped around her petite body as she shielded her eyes from the rays of sunlight that dared to disturb her sleep.
C'mon! I can't even have a little break? Osaka...was not much of a break. She thought bitterly, as she felt Masato climb back into bed with her, his fur smelling clean and she was certain it felt softer than before, but she resisted the urge to stroke it. He and Ayame-san lied. She thought jokingly, but smiled bitterly in the darkness of her blankets, her expression buried into her pillow. Osaka had made her feel more tired, more exhausted. And overall, more lost. With Zetun appearing, and the whole fiasco with Regan, Osaka was no break, no vacation. It was hell.
Remembering the last days of the trip, Gilly sighed heavily. After Regan had refused to let her leave in a semi-graceful fashion after her outburst, Gilly forgot her manners, instead loosening Regan's grasp, and heading out. She'd returned to the hotel silent, and hadn't really participated in the party held the last day. And now, here she was, avoiding the inevitable obligation of waking up and facing her classmates yet again.
Throwing back her blankets, Gilly sat upright in her bed, her hands resting on her lap, her hair messy and sloppy from sleeping. Glancing at Masato, she raised one hand tentatively to stroke his fur, her hand running through his coat in short, tense strokes. Eventually, she got out of bed, gathering her uniform, as she passed by the kitchen, her gaze snapping to Axel, as she nodded once. "Good morning, Wolfram-kun." For the most part, her expression seemed stable, slightly tense. But then again, that seemed normal now.

Axel glanced at Gilly as she woke up and greeted him. He nodded back. "Morning..." He said, not sure to say much else other than...well, good morning. With everyone all over her, it must not be making anything any better either. Not that no one meant well. But Gilly didn't seem like the type to approach that way. At least, not about this in particular. I know I decided I'd let her talk to me when she maybe felt like it, but... Axel frowned a little bit, then turned to get some juice from the fridge. Never mind...
"Um, do you want anything to drink? Or, eat? We've got time before class."

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx ↓ down.After her abrupt greeting, Gilly had continued on her path to the bathroom, but paused, swiveling around on her heel. Thinking for a moment, what did Gilly want to eat? Honestly, after coming back from the Osaka trip, she hadn't felt like eating anything, except maybe a large pail of Haagen-Daas mocha chocolate double fudge ice cream, but Gilly knew it would only ruin the taste if she used it as comfort food. Her grandfather had taught her that: Food is not to be abused by gobbling down ridiculous amounts of it in some poor attempt to soothe pain. That's what a stress ball is for, or a friend.
A friend... Gilly scoffed silently to herself. Could I possibly burden a friend by spilling out my guts? Food is starting to look a hell of a lot more comforting to me. However, she managed a smile for Axel, and shrugged, waving it off with a careless gesture, as she turned back toward the bathroom. "Something good." A typical two word answer. Seemingly characteristic of Gilly now.
Continuing onto the bathroom, Gilly shut the door behind her, filling up the sink with water, Gilly leaned on the counter top, her gaze fixated on her reflection. Wolfram-kun is a friend. Friends...are supposed to be there for each other. But... She ran her hands through her hair, looking down at the counter. There's no doubt he's there for me. But asking for more, more support...by telling him, I'd be doing that, wouldn't I? Wouldn't it be... "So inappropriate of me to do so?" Gilly finished her thought out loud, her voice as whisper. This conflict is my conflict. But I want... "...I want too much." ...And that's exactly what got me into this mess in the first place... Gilly sighed, and shook her head, shutting off the water before it spilled out of the sink. There would be time to think; staying too long in the bathroom would give her roommates the wrong idea.

He kept himself busy with the kitchen-duty this morning. Glancing at the bathroom, he couldn't help but wonder. Maybe I could just ask her outright. Get her to say something? B-but...then what if she just turns me away or gets annoyed... About now was when his lack of experience socializing with anyone other than the Konoe family was starting to finally bite him on the butt. He just didn't know how to handle this. Sure he was fine with giving Gilly her space, but there was just that point that hit where it was starting to affect Gilly so much she was acting dangerously different than how she did before. I haven't even known her that long...I don't know why I could say such a thing. He frowned to himself and instead got to work on the omelets.
Shutting his eyes, Axel muttered something under his breath before opening them, grabbing a paper towel, and a pen from his pocket. He wrote something on it, it was very foreign and very old language though, not something a normal person could make out. He placed the paper towel on the floor and a spot on the floor wavered like pond water, before a beast appeared, the size of an adult retriever maybe. The difference? This was some wolf-like creature, but only had fur on some places on her body, and the rest of her was smooth yet decorated pattern skin, a brilliant red color with black and white patterns as well on her body. "Ritsu. Sorry, I know it's been a long while since I summoned you..." Ritsu huffed, long odd looking tail thumping on the floor like she was feigning disappointment. Axel chuckled, patting her head before going back to what he was doing. "Things have just been...really crazy lately, that's all. Sorry. I guess I've been...neglecting a lot of things, haven't I?" He quieted down and cooked, his face a mask of deep thought now.
He finished the cooking eventually and set things up, not wanting to waste too much time and end up causing them all to be late or something.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx ↓ down.The usual routine of brushing her teeth, washing her face, combing her hair took place as Axel was preparing breakfast and debating over what action to take now. Buttoning her maroon blazer, Gilly sighed and smoothed down her hair, placing her beret on top of her head, like the cherry on top of an ice cream sundae. For Gilly, a very glum ice cream sundae, that is.
One hand on the handle, she paused, biting her lip. ...Then again, would it be so wrong, to tell him? He's got no stake in this. He has no bias. A pair of ears, that's what I... Her grip on the handle tightened as she squeezed the tiny piece of metal, its cool embrace rising through her palm to send her forearm chills. ...I shouldn't want that! To want that is...selfish. Who am I, who the hell am I to want that?! He's a friend...and I, as his friend, cannot say a thing.
To ask for more, would be asking for more than a friend. With her back to the wooden door, Gilly slid down its hard frame, finally coming to a stop as she planted herself on the tiled floor, head resting on her knees. What am I saying?! What I'm doing is right. I was wrong once, but never again. And I can't afford to be wrong here. Shut my mouth, and put on that smile. ...What else can I possibly do? A bitter smile appeared on Gilly's face. This was what she wanted. Right?
Using the handle and sink as support, Gilly stood up, brushing the dust off her skirt, before opening the door, inhaling deeply, and letting it all out in one big whoosh, as her eyes wandered over to Axel. If I am a friend, I can't burden him. And I won't. However, her attention was diverted to something else: an odd looking wolf-like creature with designs that Mother Nature obviously had not approved of. Like some rebellious four-legged daughter, this creature was boldly standing out in the plain kitchen.
Immediately, Gilly's shoulder's tensed up, as she quickly dashed to the table, grabbing one of the small knives that was set out for omelet eating, and pointed it at Ritsu. Her eyes narrowed as she glared at the beast, unaware of Axel's fairly calm behavior around Ritsu. To Gilly, anything that wasn't supposed to be there must be some sort of threat.

Axel turned his head to Gilly curiously, then blinked, and Ritsu just stared at Gilly. Tilting her head, she seemed to look at Axel for a moment as if asking what to do. "Ah...d-don't worry about it." He said to the creature. "Gilly-san, it's fine. She's mine. I'm sorry, I guess in all the time I've been here I never did really use my abilities around you." He said, placing a plate with an egg and cheese omelet on the table, wary of Gilly's utensil weapon.
"Ritsu is one of my familiars, that I'm able to summon. I probably should have warned first, but...it's just been so long since any of them got any air, I sort of summoned her on impulse." He half frowned and rubbed the back of his head. And their company calms me down some... he added mentally to himself.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx ↓ down.'It's fine' simply didn't cut it. It didn't explain a thing, nor did it calm or relax Gilly. After all, wouldn't she be the expert on that? 'It's fine' had ironically become the two most favorite words of Gilly. And yet, when she used them, it was a futile attempt to dismiss the issue. But right now, saying 'it's fine' wasn't a good explanation for her.
It wasn't until Axel set the food down in front of her, that she finally lowered the knife, slightly embarrassed at her irrational response. She set the knife down in its home next to the trusty fork, and bowed to Ritsu. "I'm...terribly sorry." She said hesitantly, and grimaced. "Probably not the best way of introducing myself...Ritsu-san." Looking to Axel now, Gilly smiled slightly at his considerate nature. "That's very kind of you, to summon them, even if you don't need them." ...Right? Unless Wolfram-kun is doing something to my omelet... She thought half-jokingly, but peered at her omelet. Looked normal.

Just a few more minutes of sleep and look what happened. Gilly had just pulled herself from the edge again, which was a relief to him, though the sight of Ritsu in the kitchen clearly puzzled and intrigued him. "Good morning, Gilly-san, Axel-san," Masato greeted his beloved owner and friend as he trotted out to the kitchen, prior to walking within a few feet of Ritsu and subtly sniffing. Definitely a summoned creature and it still had that smell of residual energy about it from the summoning. "Ah, you must be a friend of Axel's. Care to join us for breakfast? I can cook some eggs and toast for you, plus more for Gilly and Axel if you like," Masato said politely as he opened the fridge and took a carton of orange juice out by the tab on top with his teeth, prior to jumping deftly up on one of the chairs and setting it down on the table next to Gilly and Axel. Orange juice went well with almost anything for breakfast. "The name is Masato, by the way. Pleased to meet you," he said after, jumping off the chair and extending a paw to Ritsu.

Ritsu bowed her head to Gilly briefly, seemingly okay with it. She then looked at Masato, tilting her head a bit, before her long tail came around and shook Masato's paw carefully. "Nice to meet you too, Masato. I do apologize for scaring the girl, do let her know that. I'm actually not one of Axel's combatant familiars, so I couldn't mean any harm even if I had to." She said humorously, only Masato able to understand her. And Axel, but Axel was Axel.
Axel glanced at Ritsu and smirked, before looking at Gilly. He set his own plate down and sat down. "Ritsu...she's the only familiar I have that wasn't born to fight for me, so in all honesty, she's the only one who gets onto me if I don't let her out once in a while to give her fresh air." He said half-joking. Okay, like, a fourth joking. "Uh, I guess we'd better eat before we run out of time to get ready for class."

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx ↓ down.As Axel sat down, Gilly followed suit, planting her seat down as she reluctantly clapped her hands together and said the customary 'itadakimasu'. Looking down at the delicious omelet, Gilly felt a pang of guilt course through her stomach. Wolfram-kun worked to cook breakfast, and I...greeted his familiar with a knife? She groaned silently in her head, picking up her fork. I totally deserve the award for best roommate.
"R-Right. We should eat quickly. Gilly nodded in agreement, taking a small bite of her omelet. She seemed to have forgotten her table manners for a moment, with an elbow on the table, and her head cupped in her palm, slightly picking at her omelet. Somehow, she didn't feel in the mood to eat. ...But Wolfram-kun did make it. Gilly would have rather buried herself back in her bed out of embarrassment, but she did have a pretense to keep up. "It's very good, Wolfram-kun." She commented after a moment, taking her elbow off the table, and chewing thoughtfully. And it was the truth, although her tone was more chipper than what she was feeling. Certainly felt good, to have some substance and good food in her stomach.
Fast as ever, Gilly finished her omelet, taking a quick swig of orange juice, before standing up, and taking away her dishware. "I'll clean up, Wolfram-kun. I...sort of owe you one." Or two. "You didn't have to cook this morning anyway, so I should do my share."

Axel nodded. Judging from Gilly's appearance he wasn't sure if it was true or not...but on the upside at least she was eating it, right? Avoiding looking at her long enough to make her think he was trying to figure her out or something, he went back to his eating, eventually finishing his omelet too. "U-um...you don't have to. Or, I can still help. Besides, I'm still the one who made the mess in the first place, right?" He said, standing up. He wouldn't tell Gilly she shouldn't clean up, but he at least offered to help her still. So he still stood and took care of his own dish, helping her clean up the rest of the mess. Ritsu watched Axel and Gilly, slightly curious. There was tension in the air thick enough to slice with her claws, but judging from behaviors, it'd been there for a while now. Ritsu wasn't remotely human, but even half-humans would have issues trying to live through such a thing, wouldn't they?

"Actually, neither of you have to clean up here. I can do it while you guys get ready to go to class. That would save you both the trouble," Masato offered politely before nipping at his fur and taking the fox charm he and Ayame had out with its leather string dangling from his teeth. That thing was fully charged and once activated, he'd have hands and feet instead of paws, allowing him to clean up and do the dishes with ease.
