Fursona - Data Cross

[Masquerade]

(Guest Room)

Erimis stopped sketching and looked up at the ceiling. "Hmm, I suppose your right. You'd have to have a demeanor such as mine to not care about the level of intimacy. Oh well. I'll use it then. There are so many ideas in my head, it hurts." He rubbed his head in emphasis.

Erimis's cell phone rang.

He jumped and took it out of his pocket. "Yo. Erimis here."

The voice on the opposite end was even cooler and more collected than his own. "Just checkin' up on you, brother." It was Ritsuko Cauda, who happened to be Erimis's sister. She was currently working at Erimis's parents's company, Cauda Inc.

"Oh, hey sis. Mom and Dad didn't ask you to call, did they?" Erimis asked.

"No. What? You don't think I can be genuinely concerned with my little brother? How rude...I'm hurt." She laughed, which was dripping in sarcasm. "But, no, really. I hope you're doing well."

"Absolutely. Oh, and I have something to tell you..." he said and then whispered something into the phone.

"So, it's just like Suzaku, then," Ritsuko replied. "I hope you're not going to vanish anywhere because I'm going to have to see this with my own eyes. See ya." She hung up.

Erimis put his cell phone away.

"Who the hell was that?" Nothus asked bluntly and in an almost taunting manner. "A girlfriend I don't know about." He hissed and laughed at the same time. Erimis punched Nothus, sending him off the bed and into the closest wall.

"That was my sister," he said callously. "It wasn't important." He continued his sketch in silence.
