A Random Demon Inspired Meeting in Japan! [Private: Ichijou/Ari]

Arianda nodded in understanding. She knew how Ichijou was, at least to some extent. All the times they had met before, Ichijou had always started it; and even if both of them got something out of it, it did seem a bit more for Ichijou's sake. The Sueki was incredibly selfish, but that was understandable. She liked getting attention, and Ari's kind of attention normally made the Sueki quite happy. At least, it used to; Ari was on her best behavior now, trying not to betray Kita's trust. However, the demon couldn't help but understand where Ichijou was coming from.

Even if Ari isn't as selfish as Ichijou, she would still be extremely concerned if Kita disappeared without a word; and didn't stay in contact somehow. Hell, Arianda would probably go searching for her eventually. After all, Ari was the one who found Kita instead of Henrex; something that she was still glad she could do for him and Kita. However, she soon directed her attention from some brief contemplation. She gave Ichijou a warm, reassuring smile; trying to assure her that everything was fine, but without the words this time.

"I know what you mean, Ichijou; it just makes me honestly wonder what happened. I mean, if you want; we could try to search for him. I don't mind dragging him back by his ear for ya~"

Arianda smiled at the woman again, nodding some as she thought of it. Indeed, she could probably find Kokuto. That was the benefit of the Eris Seals. Communication; and even a little bit of being able to just find another person who has the seal. She smiled warmly and reached across the table to put her hand on Ichijou's arm; gently patting her arm.

"He wouldn't abandon you, hun. From what I could tell, when he walked in on us one time and got pissed, he treasures and adores you greatly. Maybe he's trying to get stronger to protect you? I honestly can't say for certain if that's why he took off without an explanation; but I'm certain he'll come back to you. Either because he finished what he was doing, or because I dragged him back by his ear; either method is perfectly acceptable, I am sure~"

Arianda gave the woman that same warm smile. Indeed, they were both very adorable; far too much so to be abandoned. Which was why Arianda was absolutely certain Kokuto would be back before she knew it. Whatever the reason may be, Arianda knew Kokuto had a very long reunion in store for when he did return.
