Atsushi sighed as he sat on the steps leading up to Lunaville's resident shrine, hunched over a bit as he thought over the information his foster father, Dazai, had told him of recently. He knew Dazai was a fishy man in general, but the shapeshifter hadn't realized that meant he was a former criminal! And an Executive of the Port Mafia, for that matter...Dazai was scarier then he had originally thought as a child, Atsushi realized with a shudder.
He still trusted and loved Dazai after learning of it, the man had kindly taken him in and raised him after all, and even enrolled him in the academy to help him. But from what the man had said, his former partner would be the angriest about his leaving, so it's possible he would come seeking him out. Seems they were really close, considering the look in Dazai's eyes when he mentioned him...wait, did that make this a lover's quarrel? Atsushi sweatdropped at the thought.
He had come to the shrine to think things over, as he had done since he was a kid, but now he was thinking about his foster father's possible love life. Seems he really was a feline, quickly moving onto one thing then another. Now, if only he could control his transformations... Atsushi sighed worriedly, seems the returning student had a long year ahead of him.

Tomoe sat by the shrine as he examined and wrote in the scrolls of prayers like he always did, also kept to his thoughts. Everything was simple over the last couple of years: being Mikage’s familiar, help with maintaining the shrine, etc. Then everything changed when Mikage decided to move out and months later, some human girl with no magic comes to move in. The fox spirit refused to be that idiot’s familiar.
Sensing a presence, Tomoe stopped what he was doing and went over to see a familiar shapeshifter he would see at the shrine sometimes.
“I was wondering when you would show up. I was beginning to worry.” Tomoe said as he took out his fan and walked towards the other.

Hearing the familiar voice of the fox spirit, Atsushi turned around and looked up at him, seeing him holding his fan as he normally did.
"Ah, Tomoe-san!" Atsushi said, standing up from the steps and giving a slight polite bow in greeting, before he stood straight and smiled at Tomoe. "Sorry for not coming by lately, things have been a bit busy. How have you been?"
Having grown up in Lunaville after being taken in by Dazai, Atsushi had often spent time at the shrine and thus, had gotten to known the fox spirit a bit over the years.

"Oh, still the same as ever, I suppose. Except for one new obstacle that came into my life as of late." Tomoe frowned and sighed, but then smiled. "Regardless, I have ideas on how to take care of it. How are you doing, Atsushi? Still having trouble with your abilities?" The fox spirit usually wasn't one to socialize with people in general regardless of race or ability. However, he didn't mind Atsushi coming in once in a while.

Atsushi frowned a bit at Tomoe's mention of an "obstacle", knowing the fox spirit, it could be a multitude of things. However, he felt it wasn't his place to pry. The spirit enjoyed his privacy, so he wouldn't want to push and upset him.
"Afraid so. Strauss-sensei has been doing her best to help me, but I just can't seem to handle it..." Atsushi sighed, rubbing the back of his head. The shapeshifting teacher was so kind to offer whatever time she could afford to spend trying to help him control his transformations, but alas, he'd been having no luck so far. He hated to inconvenience her so, even though she often told him it was no trouble at all.

"I think with some time and practice, you'll get it eventually. You just need to know your own limits and start small and all that. And if you ever need anything, you can always go to the shrine." Tomoe reminded the other, then a thought came into his head. With Atsushi in the academy and his... new master, for a lack of a better term, about to start there...
"Say, Atsushi-san. Can I ask a favor of you? You see, there is a new owner of the shrine who's also starting Arcane this year. Would it be possible if you could help her out? I am sorry to ask this of you since you have many worries already."

"Thank you, Tomoe-san. That definitely helps ease my mind a bit." The shapeshifter smiled at Tomoe, grateful for his encouragement. While the fox spirit was certainly distant from others, Atsushi knew he was kind on the inside.
Blinking in confusion at the request the resident spirit asked of him, Atsushi thought it over. He had heard rumors that the shrine had gotten a new owner, but he hadn't realized they would be a fellow student! While he did have a bit to worry about, with his foster father's past and his powers still not listening to him...Tomoe didn't really ask favors of him, so this must be important to him. Plus, it would most likely be a good distraction.
Smiling, the shapeshifter nodded. "Of course! You can count on me, Tomoe-san!"

"Perfect." Tomoe smiled a bit more, internally smirking maliciously. With that dreaded girl out of the way and busy with her studies, he'll have more time to himself and no familiar duties for him! No one was going to tell him what to do!
"Her name is Nanami Momozono and she just moved in a couple of weeks ago. I believe she's in the grounds somewhere if you'd like to meet her?" Really, the spirit had the girl spruce up the shrine and basic errands that were far away from him to keep her occupied.

"Of course, if it's no trouble for either of you!" Atsushi said. Best to meet the new shrine owner as soon as possible, so if she needed anything before classes started, he could help her with them. Nanami Momozono, huh? Seems she was Japanese, or of Japanese descent.
Well, he hoped they had a good first meeting.
