She sighed. "You're much more stubborn about this today, you know," she said with a half-smile. "What is the occasion?"

He finally broke out into his full on grin. "Because," he said, "I feel like I might actually win out today."

She smiled. "Probably not, Neko."

"Y'know, I hate it when you talk Japanese at me." He stopped in front of her, forcing her to stop too. "Please let me carry your books, Kyra?"

"Nein," she replied. "JJ, you're really pushy."

His grin fell to an attempt at a smile. "Sorry, Kyra." He turned down the street where their walks seperated. "I'll see you tomorrow, then."

"No. Good evening, Jacoby. It will be just a moment," Mrs. Numair said with a slight sigh. "Please hold on."
She walked upstairs and tapped on her daughter's door. "There's a phone call for you,"
"Mm," a tired Kyra replied. "Who is it?"
"Jacoby."
There was a sigh, and a creak of a bed. A thud sounded with a curse. Ten seconds later, a still half-asleep Kyra opened her door and trotted downstairs to the phone. "Hullo?" she asked before she yawned.

"Hey, Kyra," Jacoby said. "What're you doing tonight?"

"Attempting to sleep, but getting interrupted," she mirthlessly said. She rubbed her eyes. "Why?"

"I was thinking you might ask Nakari to go with him. I have to run. I'll see you tomorrow. G'night."

Kyra blinked as the dial tone started after about ten seconds. "What?"
