[Well, that's certainly one way to put it. He still smiles, apologetic and polite.]

I haven't had a chance to look at the bed, but if there are enough sheets to spare something, that would make the floor a bit more comfortable for me, and I would appreciate it.

[naqqali]

Please, come further inside, and we can better discuss this.

[ the sheets are not great so parting with one isn't exactly difficult. sche folds up the top sheet gently to give it to yukio. ]

I'm sorry that things can't be more equitable.

[reflash]

It isn't your fault that our living situation here is so limited. [He says, stepping further in and taking the sheet with a slight bow.]

I'm Okumura Yukio. I'm sorry to bother you like this.

[naqqali]

[ she scoots away a little once the sheet has been acquired. She's still kinda unsure of this whole... everything, but at least yukio is nice. ]

It is a pleasure to meet you, Okumura Yukio. I am Scheherazade. If only we could have met under better circumstances.

[reflash]

[He steps back as well, once he's got the sheet in his hands.]

These circumstances were rather unexpected. Have you ever heard of anything like this happening before?

[naqqali]

I suppose it depends on what you mean by that. I have been summoned before, and I've seen many different places. But never have I been summoned to such an usual location, and without knowing my Master... I find it very unnerving.

[reflash]

[... oh, interesting.]

That sounds like it would be extremely unsettling. Do you always know your summoner, or have you sometimes appeared in... the physical world without one?

[naqqali]

It is impossible for me to exist without being summoned. It would have to be a conscious effort. However, that does not seem to be the case this time. I am not suited for battle, so that doesn't bother me too much, but... not knowing why I am here, and who summoned me, does.

[reflash]

Whoever brought us here doesn't seem interested in providing any answers, but if they're able to summon humans who shouldn't be able to be summoned, along with demons... and others ["demon" doesn't seem like quite the right term for her, unless she's hiding a tail and horns] they're working with a system of magic none of us are accustomed to.

[naqqali]

That's right. It must be powerful magic indeed, which means there's an even more powerful enemy to wield it. Ah... This is worse than I could have imagined.

[reflash]

I don't know if we can assume that they are our enemy. It's more likely that they're just using us as tools for their own ends.

[naqqali]

Even if they are not an adversary, given the opaque nature of what this end is, I cannot say that we are being used as tools for good.

[reflash]

In the best case, they simply cannot reveal themselves. But I agree, they probably aren't a good person.

[naqqali]

Time will tell what sort of tools we will be. Although without a contract, things could get very interesting... I hope that is not the case. I would rather it be boring and then we are allowed to leave.

[reflash]

For all of our sakes, I hope that's the case as well.
