Lewin Makes A Face. He Doesn't Like Not Knowing And Being Told He's Wrong. "Why Later?" He Complains,

Lewin makes a face. He doesn't like not knowing and being told he's wrong. "Why later?" he complains, crossing his small arms. "How can words hurt?" he insists.

"You never 'got it' in the first place. You gave a wrong answer." And surely that doesn't mean Mitch doesn't either(he's the best after all). "You'll figure it out. Not now, but def later, weirdo. You've got other things that need answers anyway, yeah?"

Lewin doesn't, in general, show a lot of emotions outside of frustration and anger. But his eyes are fixed on the phone and when the number shows, his eyes widen a little. He's amazed.

"But how does it know that?" he asks, leaning further into Mitch's personal space to look over the device. "Is there a seal on it? Is it possessed by a demon?? Is it a spider demon?!"

"Oh I'm about to blow that curious little head of your's -" a thumb hovered over the screen as he started to type, then, with both hands still on the phone(he's half expecting Lewin to snatch it from him), showed the screen. "See, looks like there's prolly about 125 million people according to the web." A pause.

"...World wide web, that is." Nerds, suddenly does this feels more annoying - like working at the store counter and having an old guy there.

"LEWIN!!"

Watch out, a nearby stick is flying right for his head.

"WHERE THE FUCK HAVE YOU BEEN?"

He does not think to dodge because that sounds like Fujimoto but when he turns to face the man, Lewin takes a stick straight to the forehead.

He lands comically on the ground before quickly sitting up again.

"OW! What was that for?!" he yells back.

Lewin's demeanour changes almost immediately. He perks up with a mixture of excitement and curiosity. "Really?" he grins. Oh man, how he wish he could remember that! "Hope it wasn't too young or that'd be aaaawkwaaard," he adds. "Did I have braces? Glasses?"

Though after his questions, he smirks. "Aw, you were worried about little ole me! Thanks, mom~"

"Feh..." Shiro's lip curls back into an annoyed sneer, but he doesn't take his agitations out any further on Lewin. The memory gap isn't his fault after all, it's just inconvenient.

"Well, the grey demons turned you into a child for the last several days," he explains in a much more calm manner while dusting the dirt and leafs off of Lewin, "And you ran off after I put you to bed last night. I was worried sick about where you were, but clearly you found a nicer place to sleep last night than the bed I made for you at the dorm."

Lewin watches the man leave, carefully, hoping to maybe get a peek at this familiar. And his persistence is rewarded. It's hard to make out the details, but Lightning is pretty sure he sees a dark crow which expands into black wings. Oh-ho definitely a king of Samael, probably more space than time. What a rare familiar! He's envious.

He's so focused he doesn't notice the older man walking up from behind. His reactio is predictably small, giving Shiro a smile. "Oh, you're back!" he says. He hadn't been sure if he would have seen Fujimoto again, but considering Mephisto was the one to send him away, perhaps he shoud have assumed the King of Time would have a plan to get him back.

"A mess of his own making, really," Lewin shrugs, looking to the previously lost priest. "Couldn't stay away too long, could ya?" he grins.

Jaden lightly grunts at the impact, then glowers at Lewin while he steps further out into his own space and away from the Arc Knight's reach. Touching is not easily welcomed by this one, no matter how innocent the gesture is - or isn't. The trust he has in any given is fragile enough as is, but the trust he has in Lewin right now is at rock bottom. Jaden is all too aware of the fact that he's on enemy territory at the academy, even if he does have a special arrangement with Mephisto. Rin's beating was a stark reminder of that, and so Jaden is reluctant to let his guard drop again around anyone that isn't Dennis.

"Sure." The offered excuse is a nice touch. However, it will go unused. While it's believable and highly plausible, Jaden doesn't want to hassle explaining how, when, and where the two of them could have run into each other to the likes of Silas. It's just easier to say he got in a bar fight, or something along those lines.

Since he finally has Lewin's blessings to finally go though Jaden resumes his exiting walk away from the academy. Then, once he has several feet of distance between him and Lewin, he snaps his fingers, summoning Krobus. The void-colored, chibi crow may be difficult to make out in the dark of the night, but there's no missing the sudden expansion of his wings that quickly engulf and swallow up Jaden in a matter of seconds either, disappearing the two of them to who knows where in the world.

"He's quite the character." Shiro muses as he strolls up from behind, coming to a stop just beside Lewin. "Caught in quite a mess too, don't you think?"

He understand that reference, it was one of his books from back then. "Huh." That's curious. "I would have thought Death was your most common kin," he says simply. "Because the passing of time brings death to everything. But then shadows are very common... but only if there's light. Can you share kin with Lucifer? Or are they considered the opposite of Lucifer?" He has many curious questions for an actual Baal.

There's no denying the boy's skill, and Mephisto is well aware that even at this young age, Lewin was-and-is capable of so much more than one solitary demon. His eyes lazily follow the Sylph through part of its arc before his attention shifts back to Lewin.

"As a higher level demon my kin are few and far between, but they do exist. The most common among them are those who possess shadows, or shades as some take to calling them. I wouldn't be surprised if they inspired the bit in Peter Pan where he loses his shadow- they do so like to wander, especially once the sun starts rising."
