Amon sped along the highways, heading south to the city again. He smirked at the panic he had put Robin's guards in earlier that day when he had stopped by "talk" to her. He hadn't been surprised that she wasn't home, or even that they didn't grant him access through the gates. He was a little shocked to note that someone from the house came to speak with him, without an escort of any kind. He wondered idly what kind of servants the famous Ms. Sena kept. The woman who had come out and met him had been very loud-mouthed and disrespectful.
Shaking his dark hair from his eyes, he eased the car into it's space, stepping out with barely a click of his heavy black boots against the asphalt. Looking up at the sky, he breathed deep the heavy, fresh scent that proceeded the rain. As if to accentuate his thoughts, large, heavy drops began to fall. Amon stood there, eyes closed and pale face to the sky, taking in the sweet spring rains that took away the heat of the city. Finally, he turned and stepped inside his apartment.

Robin jumped faintly as a sudden bolt of lighting flashed across the sky, the roll of thunder that followed shaking the windows in their casings. Setting her utensils down gently, she rose from her place and bowed politely to the the others. "Thank you much for the meal, Master Yuji."
He smiled and nodded back, watching as Ms. Sena took her leave of them. Sakaki and Karasuma smiled as well, though all three knew that Robin was uneasy. Much of her dinner had been left untouched. Miho sighed and set her own utensils down. "I wonder if the man that visited was the one we saw just outside the gates?" she mused softly.
Sakaki shrugged and Master Kobari's smile widened as he began to clear the dishes. "Robin will deal with him as she sees fit. She is a very capable girl, you know."
Ms. Karasuma nodded and stood, bowing to both men. "I should be heading home, anyways. Thank you for the meal, Master Kobari. Mr. Sakaki, would you like a ride? It mustn't be comfortable riding that bike in the rain, I'm sure Ms. Sena will keep it safe here."
Haruto nodded, then bowed to the chef as well. "Thank you for your time and company, Master."
Yuji merely smiled and nodded at the two, watching them exit before retreating to his kitchen. Laying Robin's plate aside, he smiled and covered it, adding a small note for her. He knew the little bird would be hungry later and come looking for it. He took the best of what was left from Karasuma's dinner and placed it on a small plate, setting it just inside the pantry door. Leaving the door open a crack, he smiled again as her heard the appreciative purrs of Tiw. Robin had found it appropriate to have a deity in the house so noble as a cat, and the feline had not complained.
Checking that everything else was in order, the master sighed reassuringly to the empty rooms and turned out the lights. A lone candle flickered in the dining room as the house retired for the night.

AN: Shorter than the last two, I think, and I'll try to write them longer in the future, but I'm not quite sure how to continue at the moment without breaking it for a new day/chapter. Oh, and the cat? Tiw? He's named for the god of Tuesday. Weird, I know. Ah well, on to the next. Thank you to all who reviewed, and to Chances, who's favorites list I'm on. Thanks much, everyone.--Mourning-kun
