Azusa was nervous, there was no doubt about that. But who wouldn't be?! I mean the only time Van brought someone else back was when Fleur came here... Wait, that didn't sound right. Azusa shook her head and sat awkwardly at the dinner table and watch as Vide gracefully went window to window to stare at the startling affects that ensued during Dark Hour. It had been what... five, six hours since Vide had been here? Azusa didn't know what to talk about, she didn't even know the guy! Thankfully Azusa had been dressed appropriately - not that she would ever dress inappropriately right? - before Van popped into existence right in front of her. She wore a comforting black hoodie over a pink shirt with a picture of a cartoonish black cat on her chest.
Oh and let's not forget the cat. After being scared half to death Van introduced Azusa to another guest, a black cat! The kitten was so adorable that Azusa nearly forgot that Vide was standing right there watching Azusa squeal because of the kitten and hugged and kiss the small creature. Azusa blushed as she recalled that moment, Vide probably thinks she is a child... Shaking her head she absentmindedly petted the kitten that was sleeping on her lap. She still doesn't have a name for her but Azusa has a few ideas, she wrote them down in her diar- er, journal before Vide could notice. But felines aside this Vide was a strange character, Azusa decided this when Vide rudely addressed Azusa as "Azunyan". Azusa immediately refuted that nickname but Vide claimed, "Isn't that what Rainbow Head calls you?" How did he know about her?! Azusa didn't tell anyone about U- er, Rainbow Head. Well except Van but she never told anyone her nickname, was Vide some sort of wizard? Her ears perked up at the idea of that, she stared at Vide as she tried to find some sort of mark that indicated his wizardness.
Azusa had a problem with things like this. Despite her sound and mature mind Azusa had a tendency to daydream. When it wasn't about Va- er, about helping Van, it was usually about something childish like unicorns or dragons (Okay, I'm not saying she hasn't thought about them in particular more about the idea surrounding them, about the.. philosophy about them, yeah that's it, philosophy). So when she thought of Vide being a wizard the idea immediately struck her as a near infinite "what ifs" stormed her mind. She was so curious at this point she didn't care that she had been staring at Vide for three minutes straight. Curiosity killed the cat, respectively of course.
"Oi..." Vide sighed as Azusa continued to stare at him with those awestruck eyes, was she nine or something? He scratched his chin uncomfortably, when was Van getting back? "Hey, Azusa, yoohoo, anyone there?" He snapped his fingers in front of Azusa's face but she didn't react. He could hear her mutter something about wizards but otherwise nothing. Vide ran a hand through his hair and grimaced, he didn't think he would be stuck with Azusa for a long time but Van had a habit of disappearing. Even though he explained his concerns to Van it seemed to be rather hopeless. Vide knew his previous notions of Van's plans were correct and that disturbed him, he was hoping Van would laugh in his face and deny everything. He isn't planning to stop Van but only to act as a... peacekeeper. After all, Mio definitely was the sweetest girl Vide knew but people can change. Three years may not seem like a lot of time but look at Van, look at Azusa, look at Vide. Three years can change someone very easily. Ah, right Azusa.
Vide casually leaned forward and flicked Azusa's forward forcing her to snap out of her stupor. She held her forehead with both hands and look around dazed, when her eyes registered Vide she glared daggers at him; an expression he was used to.
"What was that for?" Azusa complained childishly. Vide smiled, this girl certainly was something else huh..
"Sorry, did you want to go back to daydreaming?" Azusa's expression was priceless as her face reddened and she refuted claiming she wasn't daydreaming but thinking strategically something Vide wasn't accustomed to apparently.
"Fine, fine, but this is Dark Hour huh?" Vide asked rather curious, it would be his first time seeing Dark Hour up close and personal. It seemed the entirety of existence went through a genre shift as even the colors of the walls changed from a bright crimson to a dull white and gray. Azusa nodded; her expression grim, she must be used to this by now. She even prepared for the surprisingly bitter weather that came with the sudden shift into Dark Hour, Vide's breath was visible and it felt like they were in a freezer.
"But here our powers are amplified," Azusa demonstrated as she conjured up a ball of darkness that brilliantly shimmered on her palm, Vide could feel the resonating power emitting from that small ball of darkness. "We are stronger... and I could be more useful as a result.." She whispered that last part as if Vide wasn't there and that she was reassuring herself. She must be feeling like shit after that encounter with Roy huh..
Vide placed a hand on Azusa's head, she looked up and scrunch up her nose, "What are you doing?" She demanded with a small voice, Vide ignored her and kept his hand there. She didn't need silly little words or encouragement, she needed comfort. As if to prove his point Azusa subtly began to lean into his head, kinda like a cat wanting to be petted.
Vide didn't want to look like a weirdo so he pulled away and turned back to the window. "Amplified huh..."
