Misha looks down as she feels the somewhat familiar feeling of Angel projecting to her. "Seems like they need me for something," she says as she gets off the table, putting down her mug. "Should probably go fetch Gabby..." she mutters as she leaves the kitchen, heading to her room. Finding the vulpine where she had left her on the end of her bed, having fallen asleep again, she sighs and shakes the Vulpix awake, before picking her up. "Come on Gab, get your lazy butt moving. Duty calls."
Carrying the still sleepy Gabby in her arms, she descents the stairs, nodding a greeting to Taylor as she walks by him, her boots landing loudly on the steps as she nonchalantly goes down. Entering the agency's office, she nods a brief greeting to the (frustratingly young) client, offering a simply "Yo" as greeting before turning to Lily. "Whatcha need, Lils?"

The boy jolts at the third person who has entered the office in such a short time. His attention is focused on the latest arrival and is looking her over in that same unprofessional way that he was the office earlier. You can see his face go flush and then his mouth contract into a frown.

Lily turns to look at Misha. "We've got a missing pet and I was hoping that you and Gabby could track it by scent. I know it'll be more difficult in this rain but it's still better than nothing." She turns Christie. "Go with Misha and the client to where he found the collar. I'm hoping that Gabby can find a trail from there, but it wouldn't hurt to have a bird's eye view just in case."
With that, Lily turns to leave stopping at the foot of the stairs when she sees Taylor and bandit on the staircase. "I assume you heard everything? Then I'll ask you to please make use of all the time you've spent exploring and search separately." Not waiting for a reply, Lily passed the two and made her way to her room to pick up her jacket. Upon entering, however, she stopped short and gave a long sigh. She strode over to her roommates bed and began to shake its still sleeping occupant into consciousness. "Come on, Nisa. It's time to get up. We've got work."

" You know, it's not polite to stare at people," Chris chided the boy, in a mother-like tone, moving between him and Misha. " Now, can I see Princess' collar please? I'll make sure we find her right away." At that moment, Artemis hopped down the stairs, and flapped over to her trainer. " This is my friend Artemis," Chris told their new client. " She's going to be helping us find Princess. How's that sound?" 18 Charm to keep the boy working with them.

The teen looked ready to protest when Lily stated that the punkish girl when Christie, cut off that train of thought.
He looked down and flinched again, but nodded.

Misha nods as Lily speaks, ignoring the frown on their client's face for now (see, she could be diplomatic). "Aight, cool. Might wanna give me a bit to get Gabby awake though, or she won't be much help. 30 minutes or so, though I suppose I could try and get her up on the road. Depending on where we need to go I might know some shortcuts, avoid traffic a bit."

"Thank you," Chris said with a smile, taking the collar, and giving the boy's hand a reassuring squeeze. "Do you think you can get home on your own, or do you want Lily to take you? She's the girl you talked to before." She went to the door as she spoke, picking up a pastel pink umbrella, and handed it to him. "This is my umbrella. I expect you to still have it when I bring Princess home, okay? Before you go though, do you think you can tell me exactly where you found her collar?"

The boy turned down the umbrella, and looked at Christie strangely. "I found it near Tohou street."
"Tohou" is one of the newer streets in the remodeled second district. It follows, from where you currently are, the left side of the new multiplex arena. Thankfully, there isn't a Boccer game today.
"How are you going to know where my house is? Or get into contact with me?" he asks.

At the gentle nudging she immediately flipped out of the bed.
"HOW'DYOUGETINHEREI'LLKILLYOUA-"
She blinked, stopping and looking around the room as she realized she was not, in fact, in a village hut infiltrated by monsters and assassins.
"...ahem. Good morning Liliana, how are you today? What's that you say? I woke up in a graceful manner and should follow it up by bathing? Of course."
From behind her she heard what sounded like a combination of a snicker and a hoot, and she glared wind bullets at the awakened owl behind her.
"Maybe if you knew how to be a normal nocturnal Pokemon and not take day naps this wouldn't have happened."

"Well...if Lily is going to be taking you home, I'm sure she'll remember the way," Chris covered up the mistake. She was a professional, she'd definitely thought of that. "If not, you can tell me your address, and I'll copy it down in my notebook." She held up the notebook that she kept with her, pulling a pencil from the pocket of her cardigan.

Lily smiled and suppressed a snicker of her own. "It would probably also help if you didn't keep trying to boycott my lack of sleep...by refusing to sleep. Seriously, I don't think the phrase 'fight fire with fire could be applied to staying up late."

"3425, Market street," he tells you before walking off.
It's only about 15 minutes later that you remember you never discussed him paying you.

"Why would I fight fire with fire? It resists itself. Now fight wind with wind, that's smart. Maybe one day I can overwhelm you and force you to blow in my direction, or at least tire you out and make you fall asleep in exhaustion."
She says this with a small smile, trying to draw attention away from the fact that she had wasted a large portion of her day.
"Plus, you're supposed to be my best friend. I trust you with my life when I sleep in the same room as you...so protect my life by sleeping. Don't worry about that not making sense, it does."

Misha wisely doesn't interact much with the kid, instead going over her mental map of the city while she tries to cajole Gabby awake and active. When he has left, she takes her attention off the fox and towards Chris. "Touhou Street should be about 15 minutes away or so, if we take some shortcuts. I'll try and get Gabby ready on our way there." Still whispering to Gabby, she grabs her coat (a simple waterproof light-grey duster) and umbrella (white, with the inside covered in sprayed on paint and the outside decorated with a stylised Gyarados in waterproof marker) and waits to leave with Chris.

Lily laughs lightly at that. "Yes yes, I'm very sorry for my continued failure to protect you. How about I make it up to you by making you some breakfast while you get a shower, mi'lady?" Lily jokes, giving a pretend curtsy with a non-existent dress. "In more serious news, we'll be house sitting while the others work on a case we took on while you were sleeping. That is, after get back from an errand I need to go on."

Nisa meets her friend's curtsy with a matching one, giggling with her friend.
"That sounds like a great ide-wait what?! And you wake me up after everything's finalized!"
She groaned, palming her face. She supposed that was the cost of being the last to awaken. She strode into the bathroom, gathering her things as she turned on the water. She let it heat up as she stripped, running her fingers under the stream once she'd disrobed to check to see if it was to her liking.
She'd turned it up a bit too high and so adjusted it before stepping in, letting the just-under-scalding water wash over her and relax her taut muscles. She set about the task of washing the sweat from her long, raven hair before doing the same to her body. Once she'd finished, she turned off the faucet and stepped out to dry herself. She squeezed her hair dry and patted it further before doing the same to her skin before dressing herself.
She wiped the condensation off the mirror above the sink, light brown eyes staring back at her as she began to brush her teeth. Once she'd put on deodorant she walked out of the bathroom, leaving the door open so the mini-sauna she'd formed could dissipate.
Since she'd be staying home she opted to wear her pajamas despite it being far past the time for them, the oversized autumn-themed shirt with cute designs of leaves being scattered by wind and the baggy sweatpants that matched out of place with the high-set sun in the sky.
She returned to her room, sticking her tongue out at the Rowlet perched on the edge of her bed.

Nisa, throughout your shower you hear the ka-chunck-a-chunk, thump of the water racing though somewhat rickety piping. But at least the heater works.
The Rowlett in question manages a rather impressive somersault, though this is part of the daily routine with the pair of you by this point.

She laughs at the bird despite herself, gesturing for it to land on her shoulder.
"Come here, you. Let's go find aunt Lily."
She called out to her roommate in a sing-song voice.
"Lilypad...we really should do something about this pipes before the explode on us one day."

Lily grabs her jacket and dowsing rod after Nisa leaves the room and heads outside, stopping by the kitchen to make her best friend the breakfast she promised her. Said breakfast consists of a grilled cheese sandwich and a few cookies from Lily's private stash. Lily then headed out the door, a bit excited to be using her dowsing rod for the first time.
After about 20 minutes of searching, Lily was elated when she counted the shards she had collected. Eight blue shards in total, which was enough for two whole Water Stones. Keeping her hand in her pocket gripping the precious blue stones, Lily turned to head back to the agency.

Gumnisa was a bit saddened to find that her friend had left without saying goodbye, but she did say she had an errand to run. "Looks like it's just me and you this morning kiddo."She enjoyed the grilled cheese, but then again she always enjoyed Lily's cooking. Girl was good in the kitchen, maybe in a different life she could've refined those talents and pursued a happier career. Well, no. Because then they may have never met, and she was far to selfish to allow her best friend to not know her. The notion was pure madness. She gave the cookies to Wičhú, the bird enjoying the sweet treat even though she knew he'd prefer meat. Maybe later on she'd take him out so he could go hunting. In the meantime she went up to the roof with him and ran him through his daily exercises and stretches, getting him limber and ready to move for the day. Agility Training
