[ it's a bit inevitable that aigis would find herself wherever minato lives, and-- well, while it's unclear whether it was her that settled in first or val, they're now housemates. housemates should be friends, shouldn't they...?
so perhaps it's when val walks in, or when aigis walks in and val's there first--either way, when she notices him... half-surprised, until that settles into a more friendly expression.
hope you don't mind the somewhat odd-looking girl donning a school uniform in your house, val. ]
[A full house is... nice, he thinks. He'd gotten used to the footsteps of the prinnies running about. It's not the same here with so many humans, but it's far preferable than being alone.
He's sitting out in the kitchen with a tin of sardines. But once she walks in he stands to properly introduce himself.]
Yes. I received a letter with directions to this place.
My name is Valvatorez. Did I miss you when we were moving in?
[The thing is, to Valvatorez, there's nothing weird about that at all. After all, Fenrich would definitely follow him no matter where he goes.] It's always good to have close relationships like that. He... You must be talking about Minato.
It's not rude. I wouldn't expect most people to know my name here. I'm from the Netherworld.
[ so there's a little screeeech at that in aigis's mind as her train of thought stops. that's not... really an answer she was expecting, and as odd as this place was he couldn't truly mean literally, right?
right? ]
... Is that somewhere overseas...?
[ aigis no
though she feels like the answer is what she expects--that is, no--she asks anyway. ]
[ one she's very excited for. her room is cluttered and messy with a bookshelf lined up with jars of various bugs, lizards and flower petals in them. the floor is at least cleared, but in one corner of the room there's just a sizable collection of bone scythes from the quest this month. like, over a dozen of them - it's fine.
more importantly, she takes a glass bottle full of thick liquid resembling the color of soot and offers it up to him. ]
action, backdated to shortly after they get settled in

Um... Most likely. [ her smile turns a little more shy at that. ] I wasn't originally assigned here... so I've been in and out, collecting my things.
[ not that she had many things to collect... it was literally just her laptop. ]
I am Aigis. It's nice to meet you, Valvatorez-san.
[ definitely a foreign name to her. or, well, in general--it's a fleeting thought, but she does wonder where he's from. ]
no subject
[He knows a bit about kanji, he knows where that honorific comes from.]
Are you Japanese?
no subject
[ she says, completely straight-faced and matter-of-factly, like this isn't weird to say.
she pauses over the second question a little bit, because. well. technically? yes. but she's not japanese in the traditional sense, so...
ah. ]
And, yes, I am from Japan. What about you? I'm sorry if this is rude to say... but I've never heard a name like yours before.

No. I suppose you could consider it underground. Though that's not entirely accurate.
no subject
and, well. the oddity of such a thing might be only on her, given it's just val's normal life they're discussing here. ]
I see...
[ she doesn't see at all.
but at least she'll take a seat at the nearest place she can, showing her obvious interest. ]
Do you mind telling me what it's like there?

It's time to make good on my side of our arrangement. Will today do?
-Zelda
[ everyone else she messaged off gets nice and polite messages, but valvatorez already agreed when they first met so he just gets demands. ]
no subject
It will. Where are you now?
no subject
In my home. Can you come over as soon as you're ready? I think you'll be especially interested in my formula.

she goes downstairs and opens the door, genuinely surprised it's even him behind it! ]
You got here fast. Glad to know you're so eager.
no subject
I promised you my services in exchange, didn't I? I won't go back on my word.
no subject
[ and she steps aside to let him in and then starts heading up the stairs, expecting him to follow. ]
It won't take very long! I do appreciate your willingness.
no subject
[He agreed to being a test subject, but man what's he about to stick in his mouth?]
