though i try to tell myself to be realistic

It's a little late when he arrives, closer to brunch than breakfast, but Rin's never been much of a morning person, always found his body preferred to stay up late and sleep in. It had only occurred to him recently that there was a reason for it. Demons were nocturnal.

It ought to be a sobering thought, but nothing is chipping his hopeless optimism this day, as he follows his directions to a particular apartment number. Standing outside, he hesitates for only a moment before knocking.

He's honestly never gone to visit anyone with an appointment like this before. Not, at least, someone he considered a friend, if a very new one. And a girl.

Rin clears his throat before knocking. "Hell-ooo, Good mo-rning! It's just me."
