3rd Person POV:

Inside Issei's Apartment

Rias sat on Issei's bed, still nude, smiling at the young man sitting in the desk chair but 5 feet away from her. The smile on her face was an attempt to hide the discomfort she felt with being found out, not revealing herself to this human. Issei, still seated on the desk chair, turns to continue looking out the window. His face was unreadable, something Rias didn't like either. This boy truly seemed like a purely blank slate, a white sheet of paper had more character and personality than him. Rias, expecting some sort of answer, sat as proudly as she could for someone who was not being acknowledged as a superior. In an attempt to draw his attention, Rias opened and then crossed her leg over her thigh as a seductive measure. 

Issei, sat on the chair, trying to rationalize with himself what Rias Gremory was doing here with him, especially nude. Looking away from Rias after her greeting and back out the window.

Issei: "(Damn, those birds are gone. I wanted to watch them a little more. Now, the question at hand, now that I've verified my suspicions with a confession from her, I have plenty of proof to use against her. I'm sure that her revealing this information to a human could cause her some serious trouble, as such, having this recording could secure an opportunity for my freedom, should it come to it. While I don't appreciate being used as someone's tool or as a pawn in their game, I'm willing to play along for now... it might even grant me access to things and privileges Chairman Sakayanagi can't provide. For now, hopefully, she gets dressed, I don't want people to get the wrong idea. I believe today was the day my rent was due. I told the landlord I'd give it to him this morning before I left for school. He has a spare key to my apartment...)

With their advanced hearing, the pair hear footsteps approaching the door. 

???: "Hyoudou-kun? Today is payment day, it's already 7:10, are you here? You didn't come down to the office, so I figured I'd come check up on you!" a voice said from outside the door. Without knocking, the sound of keys can be heard on the door's lock. 

Issei, even more concerned with Rias, who still hasn't put any clothing on, quickly gets up and grabs the blanket from his bed, quickly grabbing Rias and attempting to cover her body with the piece of fabric. The lock unlatches and the door opens to reveal a man in his late 40s with dark salt and pepper hair, and wrinkles around his mouth and forehead, eyes closed as he enters, only to witness an unexpected scene.
