His Dynamos following him every step of the way, the Esper sat himself upon the seat nearest to the main computer module in the lab.

When... you know, things aren't so keen on hitting the shitter so much?"[/color] [img]http://i.imgur.com/COEi5VL.jpg[/img] [color=0054a6]"Gotcha. Maybe once we get settled back home, we can phone in on your cousin and some of the others, and we can hang out normally for a day or two."[/color] Then there was a moment of silence... awkward silence. [color=0054a6]"... um, Abel, I don't think you have to save the absolute last muffin for me. I don't feel like any more muffins for now, so go ahead and have at it."[/color] No more words had to be said as the demon king snatched the last muffin of the batch they managed to buy for themselves, munching it up while giving her a thumbs-up. Well, at least they were bonding. Wait... were they supposed to be doing something really important right now? Meh, they'll figure out what they had to do in the first place when the chances comes. Let them have their quality time together.[/center]
