Kurumi was returned home that night with a minor headache despite being unconscious through most of it. Because of this she was unable to visit her friend Hani Tomoe. while Hani was a bit disappointed she was hopeful about Kurumi's recovery.
after a few days she noticed that Rito was always running off somewhere at a night.
Rito insisted that nothing was wrong, he was just taking care of some errand demons trying to attack her. He told her if she ever was attacked to call for him. She thought that he was a but odd but at the same time kind hearted.
Rito felt a bit confused as to why he'd told her to call for him if she was attacked. He was also baffled by how he saved her from that first attack.
'Could it be possible that despite my status I still want to help people..? I still want to be an good person...? I'll ask Merveilleux about it maybe...' he thought as he got out of the bathtub.
He scoffed.
'I am not a good angel. I'm not even--! I can't even remember what I am anymore. because I fell prey to someone's deceptions I lost my life but now I have a new one. to hell with good deeds! good riddance" he ignored his reflection's warm smile. it reminded him of that painful moment in his life.
Then he put on a dark indigo onesie similar to the one he first wore, minus the excess straps and buckles. this time he had a dark crimson trench coat, and a matching military cap. He retracted his wings into his body and put on his black boots he needed to verify something.
He stopped at the mirror for a second.
"Abelemarel get out of the mirror. you aren't fooling me you mirror demon" he snapped at his "reflection".
"aww I was hoping you show a softer side here" Abelemarel whined stepping out of the mirror. Abelemarel is able to keep a person's image as long as he stays in the mirror. Once he leaves it he looses his borrowed image and his true form is revealed. Abelemarel didn't seem to be male or female, and as such he lacked the gender defying specifics like genitals or breasts. His 'skin' was pewter grey with small blue streaks that resembled crack lines on glass. like all demons angels and other beings that possess near immortality, Abelemarel looked deceptively young, like a twelve year old boy. His features were almost always curved into a knowing Cheshire grin. His hair was ultramarine blue and curled slightly, the bangs on the left sweeping over to the right, and vice versa for the other side.
He didn't appear to have eyes unless the ultramarine blue spheres that rested where eyes should go counted. But Rito doubted those were actually eyes, though if they weren't eyes he had no idea what they were.
Today he wore a light blue Lion Tamer circus act inspired outfit.
The top is in a corset inspired look. a white part frames it and also has a V cut. He's also wearing vertical grungy stripe pattern black and white leggings. Layering his outfit he also has a silvery grey faux fur jacket around his shoulders complete with black opera gloves. The boots are black platform with thin stilletto heels and are almost knee high. Lastly he had a black top hat headband with wrought iron details, the hat had a big white flower on it.
Rito glanced at Abelemarel's attire. "do you wake up to the day thinking of stuff you can wear to annoy me with this attitude that says "im fabulous'?"
"why not?" Abelemarel questioned with a smug look.
Rito just rolled his eyes.
"do you really believe your own hype that much?"
"I AM the hype!"
"I'm not in the mood for this--" he started but Abelemarel interrupted.
"oh I can't believe I almost forgot! You have a gift!" then out of nowhere he produced a white gift box complete with a big red bow.
Rito glanced at it. "what is it?"
"I don't know! Merveilleux sama made me swear not to open it!"
"so I have to do it huh?"
Rito sighed and took the box. opening it he found-- he closed the box.
'Merveilleux that practical joker! there is no way I'm wearing this!!'
"what is it? what is it? lemme see lemme SEE!!" Abelemarel shrieked like a small child watching a friend open his birthday presents. He was reaching up for the gift box which was held out of reach by Rito.
Eventually giving up, Rito handed Abelemarel the box. Knowing full well that he was going to regret it within five seconds.
Abelemarel blushed-- which Rito didn't know he could do-- and burst out laughing. The box fell on the floor and so did Abelemarel who was laughing hysterically.
Rito left them both behind. He did not want to think about the box's contents or his other secrets that he hadn't told Kurumi yet.
