Oh, sure thing! Should we wait for Junmyeon to finish his training so he can join us too?

> [Chen] “Well, his training should be done anytime now, so I don’t see why not. You can come in while we wait.”> Pushing himself off the doorframe, he opens the door a little wider for you and Koko.

> [Koko] “Rrah!”> Almost immediately, Koko starts sniffing around the room. The sitting area near the center of the room looks like it’s just been tidied up, as well as a desk and bookcase to the side that seems like a study. While Chen goes to draw a curtain partitioning the bedroom part from the rest of the room, Koko starts going towards a corner of the room where stuffed toys seem to be overflowing from a toy chest.

Yeah. Since we don't have magic, we have to think up other ways. If we had magic, it would be much more convenient. *smiles as I nods; taking the parfait and eating it* It's real good. Wanna try some too? *offers Sehun some and looking down at Fluffy too; patting her* How about you Fluffy? Do you want some?

> [Sehun] “Ah, yeah. Magic is really convenient for a lot of things, it’s a shame you don’t have it in the human world.”> He watches you to see your verdict, his wings fluffing up a little in pride.> [Sehun] “Oh, sure. I’m kinda curious to see how the marshmallows taste with everything.”> Taking his own spoon, he scoops up a mixture of ice cream, fruit, and marshmallows to try for himself.

> [Fluffy] “Baa!”> Ears perking up, she stands on her hind legs and rests her front hooves on your leg, looking up at you eagerly.

[edk-chatlog]

Yummy huh? It's okay! You're almost there. *laughs and rubs* Its okay little one. You can get it some time. I only learned it after lots of practice. Like your magic. Its al practice.

> [Noeu] “Chu?”> She looks up at you hopefully, then at her piece of orange before nodding and finishing it off. However, in the middle of chewing, her face screws up and she spits out a seed.> [Noeu] “Chu chu!”> Picking it up, she shows it to you with a confused look.

[edk-chatlog]

Its okay. I always struggled with it when I first started. But it help your coordination. Gentle and slow, m'kay? *chuckling and smiling before setting down the peels and carefully eating a piece while holding another out* Here, try it sweetie.

> [Noeu] “Chu chu…”> She puts down her torn orange looking slightly crestfallen. Her ears perk up a little when you offer her a piece and she takes it, nibbling on it gingerly.> [Noeu] “Chu…”

[edk-chatlog]

I can see how that can be the case, Chen. A prince has to keep charge of his kingdom after all. As for getting lonely, don’t you have Mongmong to keep you company every now and then? I actually planned at some point to introduce Koko to him one day...

> [Chen] “Yeah, Mongmong’s always there for me when I need him, but right now I think he’s still roaming around the castle somewhere. I was thinking of going to find him so we can take a bath together. If you’re not busy, we can go look for him right now?”

[edk-chatlog]

Yeah, Koko! Remember the demon that healed your tentacle? That’s him, it’s Chen! We were just exploring the palace and Koko found your bedroom 😅 How are things going with Junmyeon?

> Koko leans forward a little to sniff Chen, though his expression doesn’t change and he turns away with a haughty huff.

> [Chen] “Hehe, looks like he still hasn’t warmed up to me yet. But at least he recognizes me!”> Leaning against the doorframe, he looks out both ways down the hallway.> [Chen] “Mm, they’re going well. He’s shaping up to be a good Prince like me! Though all his lessons and practice sessions also mean that we don’t get to see each other as often. Of course, I get busy too, but it’s a little lonely.”

[edk-chatlog]

Pfft, you almost got it. Your your horn bunny. Peirce the peel, then start to pull. *sets down the peeled orange and picks up another, biting the outside before starting to peel from the pierced mark* Like this, see?

> Noeu watches you with a pout. After seeing your demonstration she bites into her orange a little too hard and when she pulls on it, juice squirts onto her face.> [Noeu] “Chu!!”> Surprised, she licks herself clean and looks between your orange and hers, where both the peel and the fruit have been messily torn open. She looks a little frustrated, but continues trying to peel the orange with her teeth.

[edk-chatlog]

Koko! You remember Chen, right? [picks up Koko] Chen! Oh, this is your bedroom... oh, uhhhh... sorry for intruding! You remember Koko, don’t you? You healed his bitten tentacle a while back 😅 How are you doing today?

> Chen blinks in surprise when he notices you.> [Chen] “Oh! No no, it’s okay. Junmyeon isn’t here, so I was just by myself.”> He looks at Koko closer, eyes lighting up in recognition.> [Chen] “Ah, I think I remember now. How’s your tentacle, little guy?”

> Koko doesn’t growl at him, but still narrows his eyes in suspicion.

> [Chen] “Well, it doesn’t look bad anymore, at least. Were you, uh, looking for me specifically for something? Not that I mind the company, since I was just waiting for Junmyeon to come back from his training. Which should be pretty soon, actually.”

[edk-chatlog]

Hehe, we can ask later then. Let's share some food. Do you know how to peel oranges? *offers one and coos* It's pretty easy. Watch me, okay? *slowly peels it away so she can follow*

> [Noeu] “Chu?”> She tilts her head and takes the orange, staring at it curiously. Glancing between you and the orange, she tries to copy you, but gets confused when her tentacles can’t pierce the peel. She rubs around it, but only starts generating electricity which crackles against the orange.

[edk-chatlog]

Well since we don't have magic, we use technology instead hence why we use machines *smiles before looking down at Fluffy and laughing; grabbing a tissue and helping to wipe the jam that spilled on her* There there~ you are all clean now. Cutie~ *smiles and hugs Fluffy*

> [Sehun] “Ohh… It must be hard not having magic, but you humans are really clever. Anyways, I think the parfait should be good enough to eat now. Better start soon before the ice cream starts to melt.”> Slipping a spoon into the parfait, he pushes the parfait glass towards you.> [Sehun] “Please tell me what you think. There’s a lot of different things on it, but I hope they taste good together.”

> [Fluffy] “Baa…”> She sniffles and snuggles against you for comfort.

[edk-chatlog]

They probably use machines for that *smiles* I never made this myself, I just buy them so I am not too sure either. *smiles and pulls out two more bags of marshmallows; one with grape jam filling and one with chocolate* I love grape so I picked the grape jam flavoured one *grins* Try them! *puts some on the ground for Fluffy too; ruffling her fur* And some for you too, my cutie~

> Sehun looks a little perplexed.> [Sehun] “Machines…? We don’t have many of those here. We mostly use magic instead.”> He picks out a grape jam marshmallow first and takes a bite, watching the jam seep out of the middle.> [Sehun] “So this is grape jam? It’s pretty good…”

> Fluffy perks up and nuzzles happily into your hand before sniffing at the marshmallows. She takes a bite of one, but makes a confused noise when some grape jam spills onto her face.> [Fluffy] “Baa?”> She tries licking it off, but her tongue can’t reach and she starts anxiously kneading the ground with her hooves.

[edk-chatlog]

[runs after Koko] Koko, wait! Don’t barge in so fast!

> Koko pays you little attention and continues sniffing at the door, scratching at it with his tentacles until someone answers the door.

> [Chen] “Mongmong, is that you– Oh! Hello there, li’l guy. Are you lost?”> He crouches down to reach a hand towards Koko, who backs away and growls at him in response.> [Chen] “Oh, not very friendly, are you? That’s okay.”

[edk-chatlog]

*Chuckles while petting her before humming* Say, my love, what kind of magic can you do? Is there anything you can't do? Hmmm. *nuzzles her cheeks before grinning* Want some oranges? I just got a new bag.

> Noeu looks curious about that too, looking at her tentacles and feeling the energy flowing through them.> [Noeu] “Chu chu…”> Doing the fireworks trick again, she seems to be referencing Mongmong as a resource for learning more magic. She nuzzles you back and holds onto your arms with her tentacles.> [Noeu] “Chu!”> She brightens up at the mention of food and nods eagerly.

[edk-chatlog]

Up the stairs? I wonder what could be there... [follows Koko]

> After reaching the top of the stairs, Koko looks around. The hallway seems to be more open, with tables and chairs set near the windows. There are also less doors with the exception of a set of grand-looking doors, giving the impression of a bedroom of sorts.> [Koko] “Rrah!”> Curious, Koko approaches the doors, sniffing at the base.

[edk-chatlog]

Ah-*stares for a moment before grinning and tickling her*You've been pranking him haven't you! You little- *laughs and kisses her cheeks* Only if no on is hurt I'll let you continue to prank him. I know you're just little ones desperate for attention. *bounces and then pets* Now, you're firework trick is super amazing now! It's so pretty Noeu. I'm very proud.

> [Noeu] “Chu!!”> She squeals in laughter, squirming in your arms in an attempt to avoid getting tickled. Her ears flatten sheepishly as she nods, having the decency to at least look a little apologetic for her actions.> [Noeu] “Chu chu~”> She beams under your praise, proud of herself for perfecting the trick. Since she’s definitely becoming more skillful with her magic, it might be safe for her to learn even more tricks.

[edk-chatlog]

Well, wasn’t he nice, Koko? [pets] So where do you think we should go next? You lead the way ☺️

> [Koko] “Rrr…”> Koko flicks one of his ears and sniffs the air. He starts moving down the hallway past Xiumin’s office and towards another set of stairs at the end. Taking one look up the staircase, he starts climbing, hoisting himself up with his small tentacles.

[edk-chatlog]

Oh. You're so cute little one~. *picks up and coos* Look! You still have your toy too! Do the others play with theirs lots? Hehe. And you've been playing good right? Not pranking poor Luhan with Emrys now, right?

> Noeu squeals and holds up the toy, charging it with electricity and watching the toy absorb it. She nods her head several times, but deliberately does not respond to your question about Luhan, instead showing you the fireworks trick Mongmong taught her.> [Noeu] “Chu chu!”> The colours that spring forth from the tip of her tentacle are bright and vibrant, just like her smile.
