Eira had given out a list of things for people to do today, and the only person who had anything other than what she wished to hear was Takumi. His words came without him looking at anyone and he rather obviously didn't care one way or another. Still she found herself thinking about her last interactions with this young man he seemed to be between moments of the self she knew him as and this new one he seemed to be making for himself. 'Yare yare, is this what willfulness is like when it's against you?' she thought, still there was something about this question Eira might have liked, that might have reminded her of something or maybe she wasn't thinking right. Still she need to know this lad's mindset, and there was only one real way to learn it. "Do you need it to be, Takumi?"

Takumi's eyes closed yet again, and with that simple action, he also rose from the couch. He was waiting for clarification. Eventually, he would get something... different. Instead of simply giving him the order or confirming whether it was an order or not, Eira asked the boy if he needed this to be an order. 'I... guess I'll do it...'

"Uruse," Takumi said in the lowest whisper he could possibly manage, speaking to no one in the room. As he did so, he looked into his open left palm before clenching his fist. A moment passed before he lifted his head and set his now-burning gaze upon Eira. "Ou. Give your servant an order, master."

[Apollymi]

Eira watched strangely as Takumi stood before her apparently waiting on her answer, when her question was asked his response was delayed. Once again it was a different conversation than she expected to have. She even could have swore he was telling someone to shut up. Of course, in hearing the boy's legitimate reply she couldn't help but have her left brow rise. 'Mendokusai,' she whispered in her mind. Eira chose everyone in her peerage, she was happy that people did what she asked without having to be the kind of controlling person that her specialization of Devil was known for. Was that an insecurity, probably, or rather definitely. But what was she to do? Would she let him leave her a second time without doing what needed to be done? Would she let this moment pass without trying? Eira wasn't demanding, but this was because of her own level of distrust around her actions. The real question was, did she want Takumi with her in this moment more than she cared how controlling she looked? "Takumi..." she spoke his name very carefully as she opened her eyes which were glowing crimson with power. "You're coming with me to the Familiar's Forest, to get your familiar. And yes it is an order," she said, the use of her powers in this moment were measured and very deliberate and would cause the glowing of the filigree like skull marking on the back of the boy's left hand. The command seal would compel the lad to do as she said, since this was apparently something he needed now. Thinking about it after the fact, he'd also questioned the nature of her orders when she'd marked him in the first place. Eira was standing now meeting the lad's gaze. "So come on," she said finally before her tone returned to what it was normally. "Revil, Miyuki you guys come on... " she said creating a magic circle beneath herself that she expected the named people to step into while everyone else was left. "Ja ne."

[Bloodedge]

Some hesitation seemed to be occurring in Eira after Takumi requested an order. Soon though, his name was spoken, and the woman's eyes glowed with a power that invoked the seal on the back of his raised fist. Takumi's eyes glowed as well when the command set in, albeit only briefly. With that out of the way, his arm lowered. "Hai," he said. In stepping forward to the magic circle of Eira's creation, he was joined by Sairevil who took some amount of interest in what had occurred before his very eyes. He stepped out slightly ahead of Takumi and looked at the lad, then looked to Eira. "Sugoi... I didn't know we could do that. There's so much to learn!" he said while also stepping into the transportation circle to be shipped off.

On a normal morning with the sun shining, after a couple of days not attending school, Eira Gremory the schools number one idol showed up for class. That wasn't to say she hadn't been attending but simply not as herself. This day there was no stand-in but the legitimate young woman. She looked no different than she normally did, walking with untold grace, head held high with a gentle smile upon her face, crimson locks drifting behind her body in the breeze. Even so, there seemed to be something very different about her. Perhaps it was the company she was currently keeping. Or maybe it was as simple as the new and ornate piece of jewelry worn on the ring finger of her left hand. No matter what it was, Eira seemed to gain even more attention than her already unnatural levels of attractiveness seemed generate. If she noticed this increase, her countenance didn't show it, instead... she walked as if everything was normal.

[Bloodedge]

Interestingly enough, one Yasukawa Takumi would be found in the company of the crimson-haired school idol. Outside of the Occult Research Club which served as their base of operations, he'd never been in this woman's presence on school grounds at all. Even then, there had only been one opportunity in which he'd been seen in her company, but now, he walked alongside her as if nothing was amiss or different in the slightest. While Eira gained an addition to the already high level of attention paid to her daily, Takumi had the same happen for very different reasons. On him were gazes of disgust, of hatred and jealousy even. This was nothing too strange for one such as Takumi, though the intensity this time was very, very high in comparison to the norm. In the meantime, the third member of this walking group - namely Yasukawa Shouki - received the attention of many curious individuals, be it good or bad given the company he was keeping. He hardly had a care who looked his way and why, but Takumi had something to say as his head leaned back and his eyes closed. An exasperated sigh preceded his words. "Yare yare. This is going to be the worst day yet. I might be suspended this time."

[Apollymi]

Eira to her credit noticed the abject hatred directed at Takumi and though she knew it was happening, she still didn't get it. It was as if his simple existence near a woman garnered him a ridiculous amount of animosity. "To be fair I didn't expect you to walk with me. I wouldn't have held it against you if you didn't want to... this looks like it will be problematic for you," Eira said. Her commentary was the truth, she'd read Takumi's school records and understood that he often got in fights about the young women he hung around with. Given her status as a school idol, Eira fully expected that the lad might not want the extra difficulty associated with being by her side in these moments. And if he did want to avoid it, she wouldn't have blamed him at all. They walked through the halls heading straight to the Student Council Office, to get Shouki properly registered for school. "I need another registration~" Eira mentioned to whoever of the Student Council members she'd find here, content to leave the riff-raff behind while she got Shouki properly registered for school.

[Bloodedge]

"Iia," Takumi replied without so much as a second of hesitation. If Eira understood his situation for so long, Takumi understood that she would throw no blame at all if he chose not to be in her presence at school. However, at this point, Takumi had a completely different mindset. In fact, as his response continued, a wicked grin crossed his face while his eyes remained nonchalantly closed. "I want them to know. If they have anything to say about it, they can bring it on. At this point, I think I could take over this whole school if I had to." At this very moment, Shouki glanced in Takumi's direction. As a former part of the other male, and since he was no longer so directly linked to him, he could now see these moments clearly. He knew that despite Takumi refusing to openly accept the mantle of Red Dragon of Domination, he'd been slipping into the persona of it more and more since the Sacred Gear first appeared properly. This made him wonder what would become of the other lad.

Inside the Student Council's office, the trio would find a silver-haired male who looked about as delinquent-like as Takumi in recent times, especially given his status as a member of the Student Council. He sat lazily on one of two couches facing inward in front of the desk, and when Eira called out, he opened his deep purple eyes and set his gaze on her with an expression that looked rather discontent. "Huh? Again!? Kisama, just grab one and fill it out; you know where they are!"

[Apollymi]

"Ufufufufu~" the chuckle which came from Eira was likely not what should have been expected given that she was his leader. Even so, she couldn't blame the lad for defending himself from the attacks which were most likely to come his way simply by virtue of associating with her. And if she was being honest, she found the form of him which was dominating to be rather amazing and attractive. "Well, if it comes down to that, you don't have to take them all in one day or anything~" she said.

Within the Student Council Room, Eira found, not Leishi, Lucaro or even Nymphia, instead a young man with purple eyes and silver hair was found laid across the couch. This lad was quite the prime member of Lucaro's Peerage and would get a greeting from Eira as if they were at least acquainted, more so than that because she didn't even react to his rather cranky opener. "Sugoi, sugoi, Zu-ri-ya~ That was almost friendly~" she mused as she walked by him further into the office to the left hand desk drawer to remove the paperwork she needed from that part. She then took it upon herself to have a seat at the desk and fill it out, given her level of familiarity with Lucaro she didn't seem to maintain proper boundaries about this. It would take her a few minutes but after she was done she labeled a file folder with this lad's name, and assigned him a class before leaving the paperwork in a pile with the other new transfer students and workers for the week which would be put in sometime within the next hour. But one of the triplicates was pulled off and held out to Shouki. "Here you are Shouki~ You just go to the room at the bottom of that paper and hand it to your homeroom teacher, they'll take care of the rest~" she said, noting that the end of the page had Shouki in 1-A the same as Miyuki and Sairevil and strangely Cassiel. "Arigatou gouzaimasu, Zuriya. Thanks for having us~" she said before she left as if nothing at all as amiss in the world.

"If they make me do it, it'll be their fault," Takumi said in all seriousness. He didn't care to fight his schoolmates, nor did he ever. However, he cared less for taking on the bullying attempts without giving a proper fight back, and he now had the knowledge of his powers - and the control - to do so without accidentally killing someone.

Soon enough, they were standing in the office with an individual recognized by neither of the males in this trio. He was at least on speaking terms with Eira though, and they went on to have a very interesting back-and-forth. "Uruse," was all he said to Eira before his eyes closed again. Apparently, there was a second lazy individual within the Student Council, and now was this one's time to sleep away his duties for as long as possible. Eira seemed capable enough to find and fill out Shouki's papers though, so after only a few moments of waiting, the boy was handed a slip to take care of his entry. Looking at it, he realized what general vicinity his class would be. A nod came from him then, and he was on his way. "Hai! Arigatou gozaimasu!" he said while leaving. Takumi was content to walk along with Eira during her exit, but with her farewell to the male dubbed 'Zuriya', there was one final message for the Gremory heiress. "Uruse!"
