"How do you forget your keys?" Kyo mutters upon entering her office with Lotte in tow, immediately making her way over to her handbag and beginning to search for her own set, a somewhat exasperated expression on her face.

The apartment has a rather annoying mechanism with it's doors, if you leave the complex and the door closes behind you, you'll be locked out so you need to always carry your keys. 

It would seem Lotte made the mistake of not taking them with her last night.

"When you're arguing with your boyfriend, remembering to take your keys with you when storming out isn't exactly high on your list of priorities." The brunette crankily answers as her eyes focus on a skull sat on one of the shelves, subtly leaning in to get a better look as her brows quirk. "I'm sure you'll learn that soon enough yourself though...have you and Law argued yet?"

"Oh, we bicker constantly." Sarcasm lacing Kyo's retort, she's fully aware it's more playful with them, she and Law have yet to genuinely fight, it's certainly something she doesn't look forward to though. The girl finally finding the keys and taking them over to Lotte, not missing how she eyeballs the bony decoration whilst handing them over. "It's not a real one, don't fret."

I wouldn't want a dead person's skull staring at me while I'm trying to work. 

"Heh, I thought it looked a little like plastic." She's more observant than Kyo originally gave her credit for, she'll admit that much. 

The redhead watching her friend pocket the keys as a small curiosity begins to set in her mind. "If you don't mind my asking; where did you sleep last night if you weren't able to get home?"

"I slept at Kid's, obviously." Her voice as nonchalant as ever, something that confuses Kyo immensely, the redhead staring at her in complete shock as she continues. "He had a lot of making up to do~!"

"You forgave him for flirting with another woman?" Her stare still plastered to Lotte's face though she doesn't seem too phased at least, the brunette smirking to herself discreetly as she shrugs her shoulders.

"Well, the sole purpose was to make me jealous not to actually screw her so, yeah."

"....Interesting." It's the only response the redhead could muster, finally tearing her eyes off the brunette as they fall closed, her fingers softly pinching the bridge of her nose. "Do all men play these games? Because if Trafalgar does, you might tragically lose a cousin." 

"Ha, you're kidding, right~? Law really isn't the flirtatious type, in fact I'd be shocked if he even knew how to flirt~!" Those words at least ease Kyo a little, especially since Law doesn't even flirt with her very often so she at least knows they're based on some truth; he really isn't that flirtatious. "Besides, him and Kid have different ways about them...I don't think Law would use other women to get your attention, he's seems more like the kind of guy to give you subtle little tells if he feels you're not loving him enough."

Hm?  "Subtle little tells?"

"Yeah; like he might hold your hand, lean against you or come and find you when you're alone to steal a kiss, as he did at the networking event~!" The slight teasing drawing a semi-serious sigh from the redhead's lips, she had hoped Lotte would have forgotten about that by now. "I gotta say, it was a surprising sight, I never knew my cousin to stick his tongue down a girl's throat at a party before."

"He wasn't using his tongue at the time. Though, I suppose I should be glad he doesn't kiss people often." Kyo's cheeks by this point are beginning to turn the same colour as her hair but this doesn't stop her from staring at her friend nonetheless, not that Lotte seems bothered by it, maybe it's because she's used to it.

"You should! You're clearly special to him~!" Or maybe it's because she can say things like that and make the redhead avert her gaze, the shy curator hastily making her way over to her desk, mainly just trying to keep her back turned to Lotte so the brunette can't see how flustered this conversation makes her.

"You have your keys, now shut up and go." - Not that Kyo hides it very well.  

"Haha, sorry-sorry~!" Birdie's hands raise as a playful sign of surrender, though her cheeky smirk slowly morphs into a more sincere smile before her arms slowly relax by her sides once again. "Seriously though, he does seem genuinely interested in you and he isn't the type to cheat so you don't need to worry."

"Hm, I hope not." The redhead taking a pen from her desk as she sits in her office chair, her cheeks still pinkened as she idly fiddles with the writing instrument. "We actually...went all the way last night."

"Yeah, I guessed from how you were walking, Kid puts me in a similar state." The brunette teases but her expression never changes, there's even the smallest hint of intrigue in her eyes. "Were you two responsible?"

Kid puts her in a similar state? So does sex always hurt? 

"Yes, we were responsible but we had to borrow one of your condoms, I'll buy you another packet as an apology." She doesn't miss how her roommate lightly grimaces at that, she isn't sure whether or not it's due to the image of her cousin having sex with somebody though, that sounds like it would be an unpleasant thing to imagine after all.

Would it disgust her the same way Pa and Perona disgusts me?  

"Oh, no need. I'm actually on the pill, I take one everyday and they prevent me from becoming pregnant." Lotte informs, completely snapping the redhead out of her thoughts and causing her brow to raise curiously. "Maybe you should get some too, if you and Law are becoming serious."

"Pills? No...I forget to eat so I'd definitely forget to take a pill."

"Yeah, good point, you don't wanna miss them...." Birdie still studies the girl for a moment though, watching as she messes with the pen for a few seconds before the redhead seemingly begins to grow discomforted by the eyes on her and returns the stare. "Have you considered the implant then?"

"Implant?" Kyo's brows furrowing at that word, she hasn't ever gone out of her way to learn the contraceptives in detail so such phrases are very new to her.

"It's a thing they inject into your arm and it prevents you from getting pregnant for up to 3 years, I'd consider it." And with that, the brunette turns on her heel, heading toward the door but still speaking over her shoulder. "Or you could just use condoms but personally, I think the experience feels better without them."

Does it? I wonder...

"...I'll consider it." Kyo thoughtfully murmurs, watching as her friend opens the door exiting her office and returning the small wave Lotte gives her before her focus shifts toward her computer instead, still twiddling the pen in between her fingers.

Marco was the only doctor she really went to when she needed medical assistance, he usually helped her with minor things such as ear infections and persistent headaches but he's no longer around so the idea of having to meet and open up to another doctor unsettles her greatly.

But it has to be done.

If I get pregnant, Pa will certainly kill somebody...
