Nightshift 49: 2nd Floor Staff Lounge

(From here.)

Touya stepped through the door and stopped. He'd been in quite a few closets in his time of various kinds, and this was not a closet. Not unless Landel started storing couches and paintings of puppies in his closets. Did he take a wrong turn?

He turned to look outside the door, maybe check the plate on the front, but it slammed shut as Yue walked through. Dumbfounded and disoriented, Touya struggled for something to say.

"Uh..."

That was about all he had.

Meeting Yukari's eyes, Sheena smiled affectionately, squeezing the youkai's hand.

It was after a few seconds that the ninja finally turned her attention to Raine. "We made the pact last night, Raine," she said, exhaustion in her voice. "And it worked." Another one of those giddy laughs.

She was still a little light-headed, but it was starting to wear off. Not feeling like quite getting to her feet yet, Yukari instead shuffled on her knees across the room until she could connect her hand back with her wrist, settling down back into a sitting position next to the ninja with a sigh.

"First time," she replied to Raine's question a little more clearly, letting her eyes fall closed and just concentrating on the feel of that hand she was holding.

Raine checked them both over and was relieved to see that they were most likely just completely exhausted from using up so much mana... or whatever Yukari had.

Of course, the fact that they were just fine also meant that she didn't have to push down her excitement.

"The fact that you were able to do this at all is just incredible! Reinforce can copy my magic, but even she proved incapable of Sheena's... Yukari, have you ever allowed someone to make a pact even remotely like this before? I remember we were talking about this last week, but your details were a little scarce..."

She wasn't going to shut up for a while unless someone made her.

The ninja's eyes also fell shut, Yukari's physical proximity in combination with the pact making her far more content than she'd ever shown in front of Raine with anyone other than Corrine. In a way, it reminded her of the times when Corrine was on her shoulder and the two of them just looked out across the land from the top of a hill, waiting for the others to catch up.

"Raine... shut up," Sheena eventually replied. "My magic is connected to my blood. Nothing can copy it. There hasn't been a summoner other then me since Mythos. Doesn't that tell you something?"

The youkai was no where near as tight-lipped as Sheena when it came to how her powers worked, but right now? Right now she was just the right level of tired to be at ease and just let herself drift. Answering questions? Not something she was too interested in at the moment.

What she was interested in? Moving her legs around so she could flop over next to her ninja and then doing just that. Still holding that hand, she leaned her head against Sheena's shoulder. Her summoner's shoulder, content to let them do the talking as she drifted on the border between sleep and waking, dreams and reality.
