[ it's... been a rough week. all of them have been, especially since she'd survived her purification. she doesn't know why she's the only one who's been allowed to live.
she's dressed in a nightgown she'd inherited from lili when she and kaoru consolidated their houses, sitting forlornly on the bed with pumpkin spice in her lap. the other cats minato had adopted are probably milling about on their own; pumspi gets all her attention because she's her special baby.
she hadn't been the most talkative since she and kaoru's fates had been tied together, but tonight, she breaks her reticent quietness. ]
. . . I almost don't want to bother trying to sleep tonight.
[It's fine, their house is also full of flowers because he went a little batshit with ikebana arrangements to keep his hands busy. He's on the couch and he's dressed down in his own sleepwear (pants and a tank top, which is probably the most dressed down anyone's seen him) when he looks up at Xion. There's a book in his lap but he's not really reading it anyway.]
Because it's Thursday? [Dryly. He has the same thoughts, actually.]
The nice thing is that if we do fall asleep it'll be because it's forced on us...and it means we're cleared for the night. [She does not, because he's thought the same.]
...then I suppose you and I should prepare for a slumber party. [Trauma, but make it a little fun.]
Am I right to assume the last one didn't include as many animals? [It's a joke, but he's also sliding right into host mode to try and set her at ease. There's no proof that they're going to die tonight, but there's no proof they're going to live either.]
Mm...yeah. Maids, and then our nannies who would watch after us while our parents were busy. We also had gardeners and the chef and a few other members of the staff that came through.
[What if he just lets her think he has magical furniture because he has zero idea she thinks that? Let her believe it.] Being here has been pretty different.

but his attitude does help her relax, even if it's only slight. ]
Not as many animals... or stuff to make pillow forts with.
no subject
I don't think I've ever actually made a real pillow fort. [Now that he thinks about it.] Our maids would always put everything back in place anyway.

You had maids?
