"Hello again! Are you considering my offer? Because those eyes are telling me that somewhere in your genes, you were made to model," she grinned, also rather flustered at the sight of him. But she knew, "did you enjoy deceiving them?" She wondered. She had long black hair, coloured blue at the ends to go with her own blue eyes. It made her hair seem dark blue. "Were your adventures fun?" She leaned closer.

"How is your husband?" He smiled at her, she grinned and held onto his hand. She had no shadow. She never did.

"We agreed that you look like my son now which is always nice to see," she giggled and rested a hand on his head, "are you sure you don't want to join us?"

"My mum is better than you will ever be," he shook his head, "so, my Goddess of Good," he stood up, "I do thank you... for the torture you watched me go through. I wouldn't wish it on anyone below me." He confessed and closed his eyes.

"Answer my questions," she whispered in his ear playfully,

"Hm... deceit is something I do to a fault. And my adventures being fun... I'm sure you enjoyed them; I'm sure you thought I was enjoying them this whole time until this one came around and you decided to bring some good," he wasn't speaking loud and he wasn't mad, the girl in front of him was childish, wanting to be a mother but far better suited as a bratty youngest sister. Her husband knew that as well, so Kato was patient as he always was - it came to a point where he was almost charmed by it, "but I'm sure you'd love to hear that I needed your presence here to remember what fun felt like," he closed his eyes and held her hands, "how long has it been... truly... since I began this journey..." he whispered, and she giggled while shaking her head,

"Definitely not four years," she hugged around his head, "but to tell you would be such a means to an end, and I never want this fun to end, Mateo. You won't ever stop entertaining me and I promise you will have fun with me! We have so much more to do!" She cheered and smothered him in her arms while he let her. He rubbed her back and wondered if her husband had joined his wife in terrorising Kato for however many years it had been. And then he decided that his whole being was too lethargic for that. He was probably still up in a Heavenly realm making sure his wife didn't do anything too inappropriate for her own amusement - like that time she shot Kato with her divine arrow to see his stoic face blanch and tears fall from those pupil-less eyes. A hit with that arrow and all Kato remembered seeing was divine reckoning.

"I'll ask your husband then," he gave a heads up.

"Cheater cheater pumpkin eater!" She pouted. "You can't ask Tynan!" She giggled as he tickled her sides,

"I'm sure he wouldn't mind." Kato teased, she shook her head as she laughed.

"Mateo!" Camilla called. The girl in Kato's arms disappeared and all that was left in her wake was a feather, "what are you doing?" She rushed over, "let's go!" She insisted. He picked up the feather,

"It's the colour of my eyes," he showed, Camilla giggled and turned back around,

"It looks more like Uncle Juno's eyes." She corrected, "to think you're the head of the royal guard and interested in feathers." Camilla teased and he put the feather in his hair, walking beside his sister.

They returned into the house to see the place covered in plastic. They weren't getting anything stained - and Sora was still tempted to do so, as he poked the plastic on the wall.

"Why don't you actually come help us instead of being the way you are," Soji sighed from the kitchen, they were getting food ready for lunch. Camilla instantly went to help - they'd leave after, when Tenshi returned.

He did so some time later and the first thing he did was put something on the shelf. He then saw the table all done up and everyone waiting for him. Tenshi felt he had found a family again, where Camilla waved him over and Kato served him food. And they ate as a six, Sora tilting his head,
