>"I appreciate it."
>Well, if we've arrived, let's gently wake Rin up. As comfortable as we both are right here, we do have to get out of the car at some point.

>"You three plainly needed the rest. And there's not that many cars better to sleep in than these."
>You give your kasha the gentlest of nudges, and then again to rouse her. Her tail swings gently as she comes around, tickling your leg a little. As her head starts to come up, Lily lets out a yawn. Even that sounds more energetic than the average yawn. "Wow. That's the first time I ever fell asleep in a car before."

>"Listen, can I pop up with you guys?" Lily asks. "I probably should clean up a bit before I head home."

>"Did I fall asleep?" Rin asks drowsily.

>Lily smiles. "Unless she's that good a driver."
>"Not to my knowledge, Lily." Reisen replies patiently.
>The little blonde giggles as she pushes her door open. Rin, meanwhile, seems a bit uncomfortable now. "Sorry."

>"You comin', Reisen?" Lily asks the rabbit as you and Rin work yourself free from the cushy seats of the car.
>"Not right now. I have to return this car, and pick up my bike."
>"Awo, no more comfy back seat?" Lily pouts.
>"If I ever go looking for a car, I'll keep that want in mind. Hey, actually..." Reisen looks over at you and rolls down the passenger window. "Is that something I should look into, Mistress?"

>It is larger than average, but the issue is that the apartment grounds aren't really spacious enough to accommodate a car and keep it out of the way. Scooters and bikes aren't so bad, but cars are a lot more cumbersome.

>"Not for a car this size, no." Reisen agrees. "But a K-car, that might work."
>"What's a K-car?" Rin asks.
>"That's the short way to say 'kei jidosha'. Which is really a fancy way to say a  very small car. Yamato makes dozens of cars that are way smaller than the average. Kind of a necessity in a country this size." The rabbit glances around the yard. "Yeah, I can think of a few models that would fit here. If you wanted a bigger one, you'd have to pay for parking down the street."

>"Even though you're a supermodel?" Lily asks.
>"I think that's a bit of an exaggeration, Lily." says Reisen. "And let's not forget, she's now financially responsible for two slaves." It's just a pity being superheroes doesn't pay well. she remarks telepathically.

>"Well, we can talk about that later. I should let you girls go relax for a bit."
>"And you're worried about your bike." Lily says with a nod.
>Reisen blinks. "How...?"
>"I know stuff!" the blonde says with a big smile.
>Reisen stares at the winged woman for a moment, then smiles faintly, shaking her head. "No kidding." she mutters, throwing her car in reverse.

>"My pleasure."
>Reisen nurses the big Aston back out into the street and is gone in short order. "Wonder why she didn't seem as tired as us?" Lily wonders aloud.
>Probably because she didn't put the same energy into those spells at the end as we did. Rin suggests quietly.
>Oh yeah. I forgot that.
>The little blonde beats you up to the second level- the advantages of flight- and squeals excitedly when she gets up there. "Ohhh, a doggie!" When you catch up to her, you see her introducing herself to Hyozan. The big malamute doesn't seem to mind the energetic rubbing the blonde is giving his head. In fact, his attention turns to you as you walk past him, giving you a very grave look. "You're beautiful! Yes you are! What's his name?" she asks you without looking up.

>"You're beautiful." Lily gushes at the big dog. Hyozan whuffs once, quietly, and Lily giggles. "Well hello to you, too." The malamute whuffs again, and gives Lily's cheek a fairly wet lick. If you didn't know better, you'd swear you detected just a hint of mischief in the big dog's eyes as he did it.
>Lily laughs and higs Hyozan as Rin opens your apartment door for you.

>Regretfully, Lily tears herself away from the big malamute and follows you and Rin into your apartment. Lily invokes the traditional Yamato phrase, "Pardon the intrusion." for one's first visit in a new place. Stretching comfortably after you remove your winter protection, you feel more than one joint pop in ways they normally don't. You're sore in a couple of places, and still a touch fatigued, but all in all you're not in that bad a shape. A solid few hours sleep and a hot meal should get you right back on your feet.
>As though answering your latter thought, Rin immediately goes to the fridge. "I'll get started on supper, mistress."
>"I'll help!" Lily says with a smile. Rin starts to protest, but Lily simply bowls on, "I like cooking!"
>You could really use a shower, but you decide to wait on that for the moment, content to simply sit back and relax for a while. Your favourite chair isn't quite as comfortable as those Aston seats, but you're not complaining. It's yours.

>But you only get to relax for about two minutes before you faintly detect some kind of magical activity in your immediate vicinity.

>Negative. It is too faint. But you can tell it is not aimed at you, whatever it is. The power is flowing away from the building, though you can't track it beyond a handful of feet.

>It appears to be coming from... practically right outside your door.
>That realizion brings you to your feet, stiff muscles and all. But your sense of startlement eases when you examine the magic more closely. In some ways, the sensation of it is not dissimilar to that which you felt from Breakdown's Blackblood Jewel. It is, however, a very different beast. That sensation was dark and evil, reflective of the Jewel that powered it. This sensation is almost a 180 of that. If it is a Jewel, then it may well be one of the Brightblood Jewels Reisen and Kiku talked about. But as to what it's doing outside your door, that you can't tell.
>"Mistress?" Rin asks, looking up from a pan of vegetables.
