[ Somewhere around town-- at the bookstore, the Tomoe-Kaname Bakery, attached to posts and notice boards --you find a small white notecard. On it is printed a little message and some numbers in ornate lettering. If you look closely, it reads the following: ]

Oh! Um--

[She's not sure what to do without bowing! No one's told her in L.A. not to do so, even if most of the time they call her a hippie or weird or traditional.]

These are all yours?

[Maya asks, choosing to marvel rather than to focus on her own confusion. She steps into the shop further, eyes on all her surroundings, bright and starry.]

They're amazing...

[ Rohan is the last person to reject flattery. He preens at the side of his neck with his nails, curling his lips up with a fleeting little snicker. ]

Why, thank you. I was a mangaka at home. Comic books. I took up painting here as a job when I needed money. Now I do all sorts of things.

Perhaps I may end up painting you one day.

[Sorry, did Maya seem intimidated? She's dived completely over the bridge to 'starstruck' now, whipping around to look at Rohan with a gasp.]

A mangaka?!

[Much more eager to approach Rohan now, Maya practically bounces his way, hands crossed over her chest and under her magatama as she expresses her awe.]

That would be amazing, Mr. Kishibe! I-- I've never met a mangaka before but I used to read comics all the time before I took up my last job!

[...............maybe she still picked up a few from time to time shut up]

[ The demon's wings perk and quiver at her sudden EXPRESSION OF EXCITEMENT.

Oh dear. She is one of THESE... ]

Well-- I do have some one-offs I can let you borrow if you are interested? I have no use for them. [ He worries at his lip for half a second because ATTENTION. ]

I'll... Give them to you when you leave. Now, the job sounds suitable enough for you? I have no set pay rate, but I promise that it pays handsomely.

I would love to borrow them!

[Maya replies, leaning back into her own space. She's sociable, but not stupid.]

Oh-- but, of course. I used to work for a law firm as a lawyer's assistant, so I'm pretty used to the work!

[Phoenix was incredibly disorganized, after all...]

[ Unlike people like, say, Ibuki, Maya detects his reluctance and his shoulders relax when she pulls back. ]

A lawyer? Well... The work here should be much easier than keeping tabs on a LAWYER...

Don't worry. Pretty much anything's easier than keeping tabs on Nick.

[She says, simultaneously affectionate and ruthless.]

Oh-- and I can tidy up and stuff, too.

[ That would mean a PERSON touching HIS STUFF. ]

You can clean up the work room and the storefront.

I like my things where they are. I have a system.

[ Organized Chaos. ]

[ Of course it is. ]

Hey, as long as nothing gets dusty.

[Or rotten, or smelly..... Clutter can be managed.]

I have very little of my home left, Maya.

Let my sporadic style exist as part of myself... [ DRAMATIC ] You shouldn't take that away from me.

[Well, there's some information she didn't even have to pry for.]

...It's that important to you, huh?

[ Shrugging. ]

Maybe that was a little dramatic but yes.

Okay! Then I'll make sure none of it gets lost or moved!

[Maya assures, putting her hands together again and giving Rohan an eager smile. Your secrets and weird habits are safe with her.]

Anything else I should keep in mind?
