[RL with Tyki]

[clockmaster]

(It takes place just after this)

After the crowned city of Junon, the calm atmosphere of Ekoda's afternoon was something welcome. There was no one on the street to notice their arrival.

Hakuba wasn't quite sure how this meeting was going to be played. It was a sensation he should be used to, the uncertainty. He was never certain when it came to the Phantom Thief. But he usually didn't leave butterflies wiggling in the pit of his belly like today.

The detective had very little qualms about admitting that he was a bit of a control freak. But sometimes you had to give up some control to gain control. He wanted to know more about the other man, so he was able to tell him about himself too. After all, Tyki already knew that he was trying to defeat a secret organization, what he didn't know yet is how far the (K)id and he were going to reach that goal.

Tyki was still holding him close, Hakuba tuned his head to him to see a pair of golden eyes staring at his own from scant millimeters away.

“My house is that way.” He murmured. “If you don’t mind to walk a bit...”*

((Just gonna clarify some things about how they got there XD))

After entering the doorway, they had walked a short distance through the rather surreal white city to a different door. It wasn't obvious how Tyki had known where to go, but he had appeared to be following a small black butterfly to the correct door.

He had pulled Hakuba close again to step through the doorway, as it had opened right into a brick wall and they had needed to actually pass through solid brick before landing in the street again. Somehow, Tyki was able to do that. And since the doorway was inside the wall, it was invisible, and no one could get to it without Tyki's help.

He smiled at Hakuba's words and gently released him. "Please, lead the way," he said, looking around at the area with interest.

Tyki flirted as naturally as he breathed. He didn't even do it consciously, most of the time. It came with being the avatar of Noah's Pleasure.

And he liked to be flattered. He grinned at Hakuba, liking the idea that he was charming. "Oh, that's not really true," he said. "I'm with someone right now."

Okay, maybe he didn't mind if that was misunderstood.

Tyki cupped Hakuba's cheek, pleased that the other man wasn't afraid of him, nor turning away from him now. "You're welcome," he said, a little bemused. No one had ever thanked him for putting his hand through his body before. "And I'm glad you're all right."

"There's no reason why I would ever interfere on your world, with your battles, unless you wanted me to. I know things are different here, and the stakes are - if you'll forgive me - lower." He smiled. "And I really wouldn't recommend getting into the middle with what's going on in my world. The other Noah, and the Exorcists, wouldn't be as kind to you as I am."

Considering how threatening his recent actions had been, that was saying something.
