"What?!" the little voice of the fluffy, skull-capped creature snapped. "You're the one who brought me along! Well, it's boring!"

1/2 (So many split tags)

[ricebird]

Oh... oh no, even with the skeleton motif, he's...

"Cuuute~"

2/2

[ricebird]

Wait, is that--

"Ah, my curry pan!"

That was supposed to get her through the last two classes, the little jerk!

1/2

[notyourcutiepie]

"First of all, I'm not cute!" he screeched as he wiggled in Eda's grasp. Eventually, he managed to flip up and climb to hang off her shoulder. "And what's with the screaming? Sheesh, I remember when people were happy to leave me offerings!"

2/2

[hootinnanny]

Eda sighed, pinching the bridge of her nose. "Sorry about that, Kid... This is King."

[ricebird]

If it's any consolation, King, Kotori now finds the cuteness up for debate.

"I... nice to meet you..." Siiiigh... "Well, so much for my snacks..."

1/2

[hootinnanny]

"Consider yourself lucky he's not constantly emptying out your cupboards..." Eda muttered, reaching into a pocket and pulling out some change, which she gave to King. "Go get Kotori here something from the vending machine in the hall. And don't go any further than that!"

That earned her a glare from the little guy, who hopped down to the floor and stomped his foot a few times.

"Don't tell me what to do!" he snarled, before getting down on all fours and scurrying towards the classroom door. "I'm going, but not because you said so!"

[ricebird]

"E-eh?!" Kotori's eyes follow the ambiguously cute demon pup before snapping back to Eda. "A-are you sure? You don't need to do that!"

Look, more snacks would be AWESOME, but her mom had drilled her well in Japanese manners: you always have to turn down a favor or gift at least once before accepting.

[hootinnanny]

Eda shrugged. "Well, in a perfect world he'd be buying you the snacks from his own pocket, but it's fine." She smirked with a snorting little laugh. "Just means he'll be on cleaning duty an extra day this week."

[ricebird]

Oh, well that's... actually really nice of her. Kotori smiles a little more and gives her a light nod of a bow.

"In that case... thank you, Ms. Clawthorne..."

[hootinnanny]

Another shrug, this one a bit embarrassed. "Hey, don't mention it... I'm getting pretty used to the little maniac causing trouble, and that includes cleaning up his messes."

1/2

[ricebird]

A soft laugh. "I can imagine... He does seem like he'd pretty cute though... when he's not stealing food. He almost reminds me o--"

2/2

[ricebird]

Of Tsumugi-chan... which she is VERY much not supposed to say in public, let alone school grounds.

"Of um... a-an anime mascot I've seen a couple of times?"

Or the Fraggles maybe, but again, not allowed to talk about them.

[hootinnanny]

Well that was certainly suspicious... She squints a bit at Kotori.

"Is that so? You okay there, Kotori?"

[ricebird]

"Y-yeah, I'm fine! Just... hungry is all...! Hard to think on an empty stomach, right?"

... Yeah, no, she is an absolutely horrible liar.

[hootinnanny]

No kidding. Eda sighs wearily. "Look, you don't have to tell me anything. I get wanting to keep things to yourself, but if that's the case, you might want to learn how to lie. Because you're pretty awful at it."

[ricebird]

"I-I'm not lying! I'm serious, I'm just... hungry! And really awkward?"

Now THAT she's being honest to god about.

[hootinnanny]

Eda can't help snort-laughing again at that last part.

"Well, that much you've got right. As for the lying, you're probably overthinking it. Try to relax."

[ricebird]

"R-right! Of course! I am completely relaxed because I have absolutely nothing to be tense about whatsoever!"

See? The picture of serenity!

1/2

[hootinnanny]

"...Sure. Look, if-"

At that moment, though, King returns by kicking the door open as best he can. His arms are full of packages of junk food.

"That stupid machine didn't want to give me anything! Well, I showed it!"

[ricebird]

Oh... Oh that is a LOT of snacks.

"Ah... King-kun...? You didn't... break the machine, did you?"

[notyourcutiepie]

"Of course I did, it gave me no other choice!" King exclaimed as he dropped the snacks at Kotori's feet. "There! You're welcome!"

[ricebird]

"I... thank you...?"

She THINKS? Dear god, what does she do NOW, receiving stolen property is a crime too, isn't it?!

[hootinnanny]

Eda sighs, weary as can be. "Well, I'm going to be paying for that... Great."

[ricebird]

Oh thank god, Eda won't try to pin it on her! But... still, she does feel bad, oddly.

"I-I'm sorry... This turned into a lot of trouble, didn't it?"
