Snow n' Guts [Aiko/Open] [Mount Oyama, Japan]

"Nah. All the demonic dragons have long since taken shelter in the secret areas of demon world and even this world I believe. The rest are with my mothers. Honestly, I don't remember what it looked like. But if you really don't want it Aiko, and you don't as well, Kenichi, I can just get rid of it."

The demon shrugged somewhat, resting a hand on Kenichi's head as she casually, and seemingly without meaning to, started to pat him on the head gently; slowly. It was a careful pat, but not intended to diminish, just to calm and soothe; and also to feel good because why not! If everyone was in agreement, Ari would snap her fingers and the skull would fly into her unoccupied, and outstretched, hand; which she then tossed into a portal. Yet an odd shadow of the skull remained. Arianda gave Aiko a small smile, and then that 'shadow' solidified into the exact same skull, seemingly made out of an imitation material. She placed the skull back where she had put the actual skull, the replica looking nigh exactly like its predecessor.

"How about a replica instead, hm? It'll fit right in with all the other replica skulls~ But I do have a dragon skull at home, Kenichi. It's my attempt to let the poor thing rest, in truth."

Arianda shrugged and then smiled at Aiko, reassuring her with that gentle look. Ari wasn't sure if it was honestly morbid, especially considering the fact that Aiko already had skulls; even if every skull was fake. Arianda shrugged a tiny bit again, making it quite obvious how safe Kenichi was in her presence.

"Regardless, I'm sorry if I scared you, Aiko. It wasn't my intention. I just wanted to give you a gift, that's all~ While I don't know if the bones of a creature from demon world would attract hollows or not, I know for certain that the imitation of one definitely won't attract anything aside from questions."

Ah... it appears the Pizza was here. Perfect timing too, especially just as Ari too was feeling an urge to eat something... chocolate being her favorite, it was hard not to just up and take out a chocolate bar and eat it. Especially after her right hand was no longer occupied with carefully caressing Kenichi's head. However, the ringing of the doorbell made it quite evident that the pizza was here and they could get their food without any further delay! Arianda smiled gently, allowing the other two to obtain their pizza before she did. Being non-human to the highest degree possible, she could eat far more pizza than she really needed to; especially in comparison to the two she was currently with. Obviously she had a limit, but the limit was a bit more... blurred. However, any plans Arianda had to get up and obtain some pizza for herself were dashed thoroughly by Kenichi approaching with two boxes of pizza, relaxing into Ari's lap again, and then opened up the meatlovers box just for Ari.

A rosy glow gently colored the demon's features, a bit of shock playing across the demon's face before she gave Kenichi a warm grin. Being this sweet to her after only just meeting her, and knowing exactly what she was? It was... Well, to say the least it was endearing. But more than that, it was positively flattering. So much so that Arianda found it easy to ignore any awkwardness she may feel at doing something like this in someone else's place. After a gentle giggle, grinning a tiny bit at Kenichi as she peered at the pizza.

"Such a gentleman~ Thank you, Kenichi~"

The demon smiled warmly, reaching up to give his cheek a brief, grateful, caress before she turned her attention to the pizza; pulling a slice out of the box and began to eat the food of the divines. Truly speaking, pizza definitely was not the ambrosia that gods partook in. However, it may as well be some manner of ambrosia due to how positively delicious it was~! This pizza appeared to be something quite excellent all in its own. Not too greasy, just the right amount of cheese, seasoned to perfection, and had a delicious assortment of meat that Arianda positively adored. It was quite easy to enjoy herself on the pizza alone before she looked towards Aiko and Kenichi; calmly gauging how her two companions were doing before she immersed herself into the pleasure of eating some damn good pizza.

"Great call on the pizza, Kenichi; this is amazing~"

Frankly speaking, Arianda was simply enjoying herself. During the time in which Aiko and Kenichi had started to eat, Arianda had polished off one slice of pizza already, a pleasant hum coming from the little demon as she picked up another slice and got to work. However relaxed she was, she did keep a keen ear on the conversations that floated around the room amidst the relative silence of pizza enjoyment. A Divine food it truly was. So much so that Arianda probably could eat the entire pizza box without batting an eyelash. However, the demon took the slow and steady route, choosing to enjoy rather than rush.

Luckily, it was during her small break between her second and third slice of pizza, where she was carefully wiping her hand off on a napkin, that she stiffened a tiny bit at what Aiko said. It wasn't a bad stiffness, more of surprised by the statement. They really were acting quite couple-y, and they had only just met. Arianda was actually about to tell Aiko that they weren't a couple, but Kenichi had beat her to the punch; seemingly more ready to answer than Ari. However, he did one more thing that surprised the demon after he had surprised her at least twice with his actions and a pronouncement he made so brazenly.

His full attention on Ari, briefly ignoring the pizza in favor of her, Kenichi had brazenly asked Arianda out on a date; all while sitting in her lap and offering her pizza like she was a Queen. Frankly speaking, she was struck dumb. The way she stared at Kenichi wasn't bad, she was simply surprised by his forwardness. Asking a woman out while in the house of another woman. Eventually, Arianda's eyes finally closed and she giggled softly, carefully wiping her hands off one more time before she reached up and caressed Kenichi's cheek again; but it wasn't a fleeting touch.

"Mmm... Why not~? I don't mind, Kenichi. Not at all. Name the place, time, and day, and I'll be there for our date~"

Arianda gave the man a smile, finally relinquishing the touch she had upon his face in favor of eating more pizza; giving Kenichi a fond smile. He had surprised her, honestly and truly. Sure, Arianda didn't normally go for men... But, Kenichi... Arianda couldn't honestly describe it. Perhaps he was one of those few men that fit her rather tough guidelines for men. Whatever it was, Arianda felt an excitement within her breast she had not felt for a long time. Such reasons were why Arianda carefully wrapped an arm behind Kenichi's waist, real casual like; resting her hand neatly upon his side. Afterwards, she continued eating like nothing had happened... But now, he was but a few dates away from calling the girl whose lap he was sitting on, girlfriend. Really... he was charming, in a way~

Frankly speaking, it was a little surprising for Ari to accept the advances of a man. However, Kenichi was... Well, it's not like he was dreamy or anything. He had a charm to him, and he looked good, but that wasn't it... It was his blatant and easy acceptance of what she is. Not to mention, it was also how brazen he was, especially in taking her jovial offer to sit upon her lap. It was... Well, surprising but gratifying in an odd way. Which was why Ari was more than glad to hold Kenichi like a boyfriend now, humming as she continued to eat Pizza at a slower pace; likely finishing up her last slice a bit before Kenichi offered his phone to Ari. Arianda did the same, extending her own phone to Kenichi before she typed in her contact information for Kenichi, name, phone number, and she gave him her home address too... even if a GPS may get a bit confused about the location of her home. Afterwards, she handed Kenichi his phone back and smiled some before she giggled both at what Kenichi and Aiko said.

"Yes, Aiko, I do indeed believe you might just find a career in the matchmaking business~ And well, you heard the man~"

Arianda giggled a little bit more before she likely took her phone back, looked at Kenichi's contact information, and then tucked her now locked phone away into her pocket; positively thrilled. It was a bit odd, really. She knew how to date, knew how to do a whole lot more, hell the demon probably coulda turned most straight women gay; but this was a bit new. She let out a tiny sigh of satisfaction, humming gently as she felt pleasantly warm from the pizza, and from being asked out like this. However, she did smile at Aiko and chuckle a little bit.

"Ah, sadly poor guy's gonna have to wait a bit for anything like that. He might get a kiss, but that'll be for when we leave; maybe~ So, don't worry about us trying to bump uglies on your couch, Aiko. I wouldn't dream of it even if you gave us permission. Too soon, and that feels a bit awkward to do that kinda stuff in another person's house that isn't involved in the relationship, ya know? But, I am really glad to have met both of you~"

Arianda gently looked up at Kenichi and booped his nose playfully. Kenichi really had won a lottery of some form, huh? Asking a woman who preferred other women to a date successfully, and was already receiving her affections before the first date had even begun? Well, he must have a great deal of luck in the world. Regardless, Arianda found herself bubbling with honest joy for the first time in a good while; more than ready to get to their first date as she rest her head on Kenichi's shoulder and closed her eyes. She didn't sleep, but she enjoyed the comfort of being with another... And was thankful Aiko was such a good matchmaker!
