[The prophets gave their report, which looks bad. But it's almost Mercie's favorite holiday, and she is not going to spend spooky season worrying. This means decking out her home, cooking up ever spookier treats, and, of course
dropping by Nox's place without warning. Knock knock?]
[Honestly, Nox is surprised the bad news seems to be coming in November, rather than in October. He remembers last year, and how bad the qliphoth had come around and made a mess in the Spirit Realm. Then again, the sun had stopped coming up in November, and they had to go save Ra.
Kaisou is anything but normal.
Today, at least, he's trying to not let the worries of the prophecy get too far into his head. That's only going so well- until he hears the knock on his door.
Nox opens it, not remembering that he invited someone over-]
Mercie? [A blink, before his face shifts into something warm and he smiles.] Hey. Wasn't expecting you to come by.
[Hands are gently coming to cup her face, his whole worries settling down and moving out of his mind. This is one surprise he'll never mind getting, especially from her.]
[She's hoping that something so dramatic as the sun disappearing won't happen again. Praying for it. But she knows better, by now, than to expect there won't be trouble.
But that makes it doubly important to take the quiet moments where they can, to enjoy what time they have in between all of the havoc and hullabaloo. And that's exactly why she's here now. She gives a happy little hum as Nox cups her face.]
I have nothing I need to do today. I thought I'd take the day off of household chores and come here.
[Caesar is always telling her to take more breaks... She has no particular plan. But, as is to be expected, she does have baked treats.]
