Haah... I'll just settle for "awkward cool" for right now. Not QUITE there, but getting there...
[He takes no offense to the laughing, but Ein still couldn't help and feel a bit embarrassed. Rose's snarky remarks would've added fuel to the fire.
Sometimes, he wondered if the gods themselves were messing with his luck. Ein will pull himself up and rub his redden face before sitting next to her again.]
By the way... Have you heard any rumors about monster attacks and stuff like that?
[ ulp! that's a pretty topical thing to bring up, and kirara can feel aroma shift in her bag when ein says it. but she can act her way through things, and she maintains her composure. ]
Oh, um... yeah. It sounds like pretty scary stuff, huh? People getting locked up and all that.
Mm... It is. I'm more impressed that people can still go about their daily lives despite all of that.
[Ein expected people to be more tense considering that attacks like those could happen any time. It was like that whenever he went to Riviera to fight off demons.]
But we can't worry! If worst comes to worst, I'll protect you! I might not look like much, but I'm pretty good at fighting!
[It was probably the one thing that Ein had the most confidence at. There was honest determination in his voice in contrast to earlier.]
Whoa, seriously?! So people here aren't completely defenselessness... Hearing that makes me wanna meet 'em someday.
[That certainly put Ein at ease knowing that there were warriors like himself. Rose who had been eavesdropping close to the window had to wonder if Kirara knew something. And she gets to mess around with her master for a bit...
So before Ein could even make another comment, you'll get the black winged kitty hopping through the opened window and into Ein's lap.]
What the-!? Rose? You were supposed to stay on the roof...!
[And considering that they had a psychic connection, Rose doesn't open her mouth to talk. Instead she mentally gives her thoughts to Ein: "And deal with the harsh winds up there? Please. Your lap is the warmest place to be, Ein. ♥"]
