It had been easy sneaking back into the house after exiting out of the portal from Suigintou's N-Field (which happened to be a generously large puddle of water a few feet away from the property). At this hour, the grocery store remained a little busy with people rushing to get last minute groceries for the next day. Seina sighed as he placed down Suiseiseki's case. 'Geez... if my parents burst into my room and find these two cases, they'll start asking questions. For the moment, I should keep this a secret to prevent unwanted attention from being drawn to us. I need to find out more about these dolls!'
Suiseiseki had been leaning on her twin during the trip for physical and emotional support. "Are you feeling better, Suiseiseki?" No response from her sister. "How about if I go down to the kitchen and make us some tea?"
Some life seemed to stir back in Suiseiseki's eyes. "That would be nice, desu."
Souseiseki had a small relieved look on her face and prepared to leave the room. "Um... I don't have a lot of tea flavours down in the kitchen. I can go check if there's more variety in the store," said Seina.
"That's kind of you but I don't want to give you additional trouble, Master. I'll be back in a few minutes." The Fourth Doll gave a little bow and left the room.
'Well, I suppose I should get to know Suiseiseki a little better...' He paused when he saw Suiseiseki walk towards her case and open it. As soon as she hopped in, the case started to hover. 'What is she doing?'
The Third Doll first moved over to the back of the door and pushed it so that the door would close. "Please take a seat, desu."
"Um... okay?" The boy sat down on his bed while Suiseiseki moved to hover right in front of him. "You're a Rozen Maiden too, eh?"
"I'll be the one asking the questions, desu!" The sudden change in tone from timid to forceful startled Seina. "Now, what are your intentions towards my sister, desu?"
He started waving his hands in protest. "Hey! It's not like I'm going to do anything inappropriate to her! Besides, she seems to have a thoroughly mature mind!"
"As mature as she is, she is still naive to the nature of man, desu! She trusts too easily and as her older sister, I must thoroughly interrogate her new master each and every time, desu!!" spoke Suiseiseki in a dramatic tone while her whole body was illuminated to make her seem like a saint. The light itself came from Jade Dream, her artificial spirit. "Back to the matter on hand... what are your intentions towards my sister, desu?!"
**********
Souseiseki carefully carried the tray which had three tea cups and a small pot of the steaming brew on top of it. As she approached Seina's room, she was puzzled as to why the door was closed. She placed the tray down and knocked on the door a few times. Five seconds later, the door opened and Souseiseki saw her sister land her case on the ground before hopping out of it. "Why did you close the door?"
"I just wanted to know my sister's new Medium in private, desu!" Suiseiseki's voice was back to the cheerful high-pitched tone. "I really got to know a lot about him, desu!"
The Fourth Doll glanced at her Medium who had a shaken look on his face. "Oh, dear..."
