A Day to Remember [Henrex, Arianda, Saiko]

To say that Arianda was excited for this little meet-up between herself and her two friends, one who was basically her brother, was an extreme understatement. Frankly speaking, it was far better to say that Arianda was over the moon; and she was honestly tempted to do just that if not for the trouble she could get into for going anywhere near the moon... again. Regardless, her previous exploits of trying to route the remaining vestiges of Shadowfall on Earth had been put on hold for this day; merely because she was more than excited to see Henrex and Saiko again. After all, with so little chances for Henrex to visit thanks to a lunatic ex-substitute Shinigami going rampant she had seen him very little; and Saiko herself had been just as busy. With just a few meetups here and there to report on Ari's doings, they had seen little of each other otherwise. However, in true Ari fashion... she woke up late on the day they were supposed to meet up.

Suffice to say, Arianda was scrambling after she finally rolled out of bed and remembered what she was doing later that day; all way taking care of her morning ablutions, which turned into a panic-fueled rush thanks to how positively swiftly Arianda tried to ready herself; instead of her normal sluggish pace that she kept upon waking up in the morning.

Which was precisely why Arianda was ready at top speed, her home locked, and took off; flying to the west with utmost speed. So much so that Arianda arrived only a few minutes late for her meeting with Henrex and Saiko. Even if the demon's hair looked a bit ruffled from what was obviously great speeds, she had arrived with only being a tiny bit late. Albeit, her landing was clumsy from her rush, causing her to stumble a bit before she had slowed down enough only to trap Saiko and Henrex in a rather tight hug; her chest heaving a bit from the effort.

"I'm sorrryyyyy... I went to sleep early last night and everything but I slept in late! But I'm here...! And winded! Just need a few, and I'll get off ya both...."

Arianda positively sagged against the two as she caught her breath, her grown wings and tail sagging limply as she hung upon the two. Albeit, given how light she was, it wouldn't be a problem as far as weight was concerned. And it was a convenient excuse to give them both a real tight hug. Luckily, aside from her windswept hair, Arianda actually looked very well kept; and certainly was a lot healthier than when Saiko saw her right after Ari took on a dracolich-like beastie. In all honesty, she was doing great; and she was looking forward to an amazing day with her two friends.

Her heavy breathing was mostly from Arianda using her wings to fly here, which were sagging against her back and tail; both of which faded in to her body; because they had been grown since Arianda was not in her true form. She appreciated the headpat from Saiko, but pouted openly at Henrex when he essentially insisted she lean against the wall instead of him. His bird boi bones weren't that weak that he'd snap just from holding up a super light demon! She shot Henrex a slightly pouty look before she saw how he was looking at Saiko... and how she winked at him... And Ari couldn't help but sneer a bit at Henrex as she swiftly recovered and gave Saiko a big hug, more of an honest greeting now instead of slumping against them.

"If ya guys really want to! It'll certainly hurt less if I don't have to fly and then run all the way here... And I don't think that can unless my heart explodes...? Even then, not sure~!"

She gave Saiko a big smile and a small chuckle before she positively bodied Henrex with a hug, lifting the Shinigami off his feet slightly... but being quite careful not to embarrass him too much in front of Saiko; who Arianda had a great feeling Henrex was crushing on, something she conveyed to him with a sneering grin as she hugged him. Then again, she would probably embarrass Henrex on accident... still! She was going to try not to anyways. However, she soon let go of Henrex and hummed happily, clearly more than over her brief exhaustion and quite excited for the day to come. The entire time, she lingered between Saiko and Henrex, knowing that Saiko wasn't too keen on Arianda's hugs and Henrex, who she was determined not to maul considering who they were with. Ohhh Henrex was lucky Saiko was right there... Otherwise Arianda would tease Henrex until nightfall.

"Sounds good to me~! I don't think I've been to an aquarium before... I don't remember if there was one in Minatumi. And there definitely were never any in Demon world... Well, at least I never saw any. Lead on, Henny~ I'm sure you know the way~"

Arianda was far more than accepting to this plan for the start of their day, and she was especially looking forward to spending time with the two... and quietly planning to play the third wheel and organizing things quite specifically so the two would have a nice time together as well. After all, if Arianda was right, and she had guessed their lingering gazes and emotions correctly, she had a very good idea of the state of these two; and she was more than happy to play a wingman of sorts to both the hybrids.

"Oh? Well... figures. I feel like they would be just as you described... aaand kinda boring in the end. The fish of Earth are so much more interesting~ Like the angler~!"

Clearly, Arianda had her own fair share of documentaries from her time being bored at home with nothing to do and nothing but WiFi, TV shows, and a myriad of other things to occupy herself with. Regardless, the demon was clearly excited as she helped herself to a drink of her own, along with producing a bar of chocolate from within her cloak. A happy purr emanated from Ari's throat as she snacked briefly before Henrex returned. Taking her wriststrap from Henny with a warm smile as thanks, the demon put it upon her wrist and playfully bumped into Saiko with her hip.

"Cmon Saiko, we're not that old! At least we look younger than the actual fossils~! At the very least Henny is the living fossil! We need to get the old man his cane~!"

A wide grin before she poked Henrex's sides in a playful manner before she decided it was time to take things a tiny bit more seriously and agree on their path forward for their little friendly outing. The demon tilted her head some before she shrugged and smiled.

"Ah, I'm just messing around~ That all sounds good to me, Henrex, Saiko; definitely a much better plan than I woulda worked up. Especially because they don't need to have three one hundred plus year olds on display too. Where should we go first then, do you guys think? And we definitely need that map... I don't want to fly for a little bit and I'd prefer we not get lost during our first visit."

After speaking, Arianda carefully looked towards Henrex and remembered a slight detail about where they were... Toba... Henrex's ancestral home. She carefully studied the Shinigami before her, likely giving Henrex a rather uncomfortable moment of unhinged scrutiny before she smiled at him carefully. Dammit... if she was still going out with Kita, this woulda been a great place to take her too... Se la vi, as they say. Besides, Arianda was glad to see that, despite any possible trauma that may linger, Henrex looked to be thoroughly enjoying himself. She gave him a warm smile and grabbed both Henrex and Saiko's arms and pulled them both forward towards the entrance of the Aquarium; her honest lack of restraint likely showing just how excited she truly was.

"Cmon then! The Aquarium isn't gonna move itself for us! First stop, a map!"
