(Pyp)
"Like one of your friends, Eraisama?" Pyp asked, grinning innocently as he reverted to his 'normal' K-Pop flower-boy form. "Sorry.? I wasn't aware that you had any friends.? To copy a likeness from, I mean."
Before his summoner could explode, the demon held up a hand.? "Give me a moment.? This will take some concentration."? Closing his eyes, Pyp began reworking his appearance, first by making himself two inches shorter than Kutsuki and changing his race to generic 'California Caucasian' with mousy-brown hair.? His facial features grew bland to the point of being the last person anyone would tend to notice in a group.? That done, he his clothes began to shimmer and morphed into a style somewhat similar to what Kutsuki was wearing but looking like trendy knock-offs than original designs.? Opening his eyes again finally, Pyp looked to his summoner for approval.? "Will this do?"
"Now, as for making sure no one lays their hands on you," the now-unremarkable-looking demon went on, "I can do that fairly easily without people realizing it.? Most people, anyway.? Your girlfriend..." Pyp smirked as he said the word "...however, may require some special handling, given that you say she has some acquaintance?with the demonic.? I can't do anything that would physically harm her - unless she actually tries to attack you, of course - but I may have to resort to some rather theatrical lengths that might be hard to explain.? So I need to know in advance:? is there anything you want to specifically prohibit me from doing? Like, suddenly teleporting her to a street corner in Berlin?" he suggested, his eyes gleaming impishly in spite of his bland features.? "And/or making her temporarily unable to communicate in anything but Swahili?"

"Ha ha, very funny.? Maybe you should take up comedy," Kutsuki retorted, crossing his arms as the hellion changed back to his usual, impish self.? "You'd think you'd know that, seeing as you feel the impetus to invade my head.? Now hurry the fuck up.? I haven't got all day for your circus act to end."? Tapping his foot impatiently, the white haired, pale faced youth crossed his arms, glaring at the demon as Pyp changed shape again, this time into a non-descript male.? Had Kutsuki met this likeness anywhere else, he wouldn't have spared him a single glance, much less than grace his presence upon the young man.? Somehow he felt very disappointed, though why, he did not know.? It wasn't worth thinking about it any further.? "Very well, that'll do.? Now, let's go."
Kutsuki opened the door of his basement dwelling, starting to ascend the stairs, the imp following close behind, until Pyp used that term to describe Isolde.? He whirled about, stepping down once as he loomed over his would-be protector, eyes blazing.? Were he a dragon, he'd be breathing flames.
"Listen, you piece of shit.? I don't ever want to hear you speak that word again.? Do you understand?" the summoner hissed, scowling.? "Now, I will let this pass for now, but if I hear that curse rolling off your tongue, I swear I will cut it out myself."? The last person that he wanted to be associated in that way was Isolde.? It made his skin crawl just thinking about it.? Feeling goosebumps line his skin, Kutsuki turned back and stomped back up the stairs, locking both doors to the basement and then headed out, the demon at his heels, as he locked up the house.? Once in the sunlight however, the youth squinted, feeling blinded.? He reached into the inner lining of his jacket and produced a pair of expensive looking sunglasses, replacing his normally tintless frames back inside, looking back at the imp.? Sighing, he rubbed his temples in irritation.? Time and time again this hellion tested his patience, and he was trying but failing to keep him from crawling under his skin.
"Look, I know you get your jollies by causing a maximum amount of chaos with the minimum amount of effort, but do try and control your urges, hmm?? There will be no spiriting away or the changing of tongues.? I don't need you giving yourself, and by extension me, away to her at first meeting," Kutsuki said with exasperation.? He needed to be careful with how he voiced things, but it seemed the imp was always one step ahead of him, always one upping him in a play of words.? Starting to walk towards the bus stop, the summoner continued.? "You are thus expressly forbidden from using any sort of powers or casting forbidden magicks in her presence.? You are simply there to observe and make sure she stays away from me, physically.? Ugh, just the thought of interacting with her is making me want to vomit."? They were about halfway to the stop when Kutsuki froze in place, realizing something.? They would still be safe in a crowd...right?
"Wait, you can teleport, can't you?? We can avoid taking the bus if you bring us somewhere close within the city, say, a bathroom or something isolated," Kutsuki stated, feeling quiet pleased with himself.? Why not make the demon prove his usefulness beyond just being a general nuisance.? "Isolde may be in the area, but even if she senses something, she shouldn't be able to tell from where.? And it'll be faster."
