Mauve eyes rolled hard throughout Mia's little lecture, and Jasna flopped back on the couch, crossing her arms (even if that took several attempts to get comfortable with her tassels). At least Mia corrected Marcie first, but she didn't need this and didn't regret what she did. (At least Mia acknowledged she deserved it, too.)
"Myah," pouted in some vague response at the end. If Max were out and about, or Sera was still down here, she might briefly consider arguing the difference in his bitch getting Nikki to lie for her when she wasn't important to him-- that Orion's just letting Nik handle it and Mia's trying to protect everyone came from a place of love and Marcie was just selfish-- but it wasn't really worth the hassle.
Sera could feel Jazz calming ever so slightly, or maybe simply shifting. It wasn't much. Not enough... But how long did she want to stay here? It was hard to say...
Her powers... did work better up close. She breathed in deep, then out slowly, and focused on exuding an essence of calm and warm feelings, then slid along the wall to Jazz's door. Her hope was that, with that loud slam, he'd have just flung it behind him and flopped onto his bed, with no thought to lock it behind him. (If these doors even had the option to lock? Sera wasn't sure.)
She slowly tried the knob. If it was locked, she'd stop and wait to see if he'd heard the attempt before doing anything else. If it wasn't she'd slip very quietly inside-- still projecting that calming vibe, ready to defend herself from anything life-threatening but prepared to quietly accept anything short of that-- and lean back on the door to close it behind her.
If she made it in, she'd also murmur, "Jazz?"

When Sera tried the door, she would find it would swing open fairly easily. The room was dark save for a black light that hung over the bed, making the green galaxy sheets glow in the dark. Since the move, Jazz had made a moderate attempt to get organized and most of his engineering gear, spare parts, and tools was in a corner of the room. A few half put together gadgets and gizmos were sitting on a desk along with various other parts. There were clothes in piles on the floor, stacks of textbooks he'd been using for research, and the presents had been unceremoniously dumped in a pile by the bed. Jazz himself was curled up next to Kovu on the bed, face buried in the Luxray's mane and didn't look up or even stir when he heard the door open. He had nothing left to say and didn't want to go back downstairs to pretend to have fun for Arceus knows how long. If left alone, he would probably just sleep the rest of the night or whatever it was. Ahhh, when did he get this tired? Maybe he'd always been this way but with Kovu's warmth and his reassuring purr, he was calm, relaxed, and really just wanted to sleep and pretend this nightmare was over. Once Sera entered the room, it would be Kovu that looked up from comforting his trainer. He could smell something familiar about this new human which had the Luxray narrowing his eyes and growling. Why is that filth's scent on you. He hadn't forgotten the way that boy child had treated Jazz and he wasn't about to let this one get close enough to try. This human was new though and aside from that unwelcome yet familiar scent, looked harmless enough. Kovu wouldn't attack unless given the order but if Jazz was hurt, all bets were off. Kovu's growl had Jazz looking up to see who had upset the Luxray to see Sera. Ugh. Right. There were still people in the house. Why hadn't they just gone home already. " 's aight, Kovu. Yer safe..." Jazz murmured, scratching behind the Luxray's ear, eliciting something of a whining yawn. Fine, he would stand down for now. "Ya need summin'?" His tone wasn't cold by any means, but neither was it friendly. Of all the people to chase after him after exploding, Jazz didn't expect to see Sera standing there. Orion maybe, but not Sera.

JASNA??? Shit??? What did he miss? Mia? The fuck? Yellow eyes flickered from the blonde woman to the green haired one. The drink was set on the counter, and Orion was walking back to the sink, bending down to open it and fumble through it. The emergency plaster was concealing the first aid kit (wait a minute he should pull that out too, actually), but he still found it pretty fast and came back with it. O-oh what was Marcie? Oh, her drink. He back tracked just as fast grabbing it and coming to hand it to her before setting down the first aid kit as well. Yeah, he had a couple of bandages and some antiseptic. There yeah, this'd fix it up pretty quick.
Hm? Mia'd said his name? Orion looked up vaguely confused, not quite having paid attention as he was ripping open an antiseptic wipe and a bandaid. He didn't say a damn word when shit went down. Oh, heh…. Haha…. "Not like I could," Orion muttered in such a soft tone that only Marcie who was getting bandaged could really hear. Well, sure. He could have spoken up immediately, defended Marcie and Nik. Shouldered the entire thing himself- but for what? The attention hadn't been on him specifically right then and bringing it to him would've… probably ripped open even more secrets that he wasn't willing to share.
Once Marcie was bandaged up, Orion slowly reached up and rubbed his forehead. He… kind of wanted to go take some of Nik's pain killers for this pounding migraine. Instead, he walked back to the kitchen, fished up the bucket of emergency plaster, and walked back to the living room to hold it up to Mia. "You're lucky you didn't punch the accent wall or you'd have to paint it too." He grinned so very weakly.

Well...that was about as good a reaction as she expected, pushing back up to her full height and rolling her neck before moving as if to sit back down, falling back into the couch assuming Orion didn't get to her first, which given Marcie, who was still gripping her arm and glaring at the feral little Mienshao. How dare the little...Well. It was at least clear the little Pokemon was smarter than most if it could follow and understand her, which meant Marcie had to be keeping an eye out for one more set of ears in the room. Great.
Rolling up her sleeve she let Orion bandage her up, subtly shifting things he needed closer to reach with her Telekinesis while she was sure only Orion could see, making sure she was all done up before rolling back down her sleeve. "Just got this sweater..."
With the bandage done, Marcie looked to Jazz's presents still under the tree...she might want to stay, keep some sense of fortitude and connection to Jazz and the others even in all this mess, assuming Sera could get him back downstairs but...ugh. She should also go home, recoup, make sure she knew what lies she'd be spinning from here on out...
No...as much as this was still business to her, she owed it to Orion and Jazz and...to a far, FAR lesser extent, Nik, to stick around, rubbing her arm she remained in the kitchen, refusing to get close to that little shit of a Mienshao again.
With the plaster pushed in her face...Mia didn't protest much, taking the handle and walking over towards the dent int he wall. "At least grab me a stool to rest this on? Kinda don't wanna be bending down for scoops of it." She lifted the bucket to give the quiet reminder she only had one hand to do the job with.

Why is that filth's sent on you? Sera's nerves would fray at Kovu's inspection, but she would not move or show fear, nor let fear infect her calm projection any more than she could help.
<He's my filth,> Sera mentally answered, realizing Kovu probably hadn't expected her to hear that. <But no one will harm Jazz.> Those words were iron in their resolution, a promise from her very core.
Ya need something? Hm... Not exactly, huh? Or rather, what she needed was to figure out how to make this situation right, and that wasn't something Jazz could really offer. Nor would it have been fair to ask anything of him, per se. Rather...
"I guess... I came to apologize..." she murmured softly, her voice almost a hum.
"You need to understand no one's been trying to lie to you." That was what he said when he stormed up here, right? "It's more... Nik has wanted to protect me, and others wanted to protect Nik."
Sera briefly debated whether to use this knowledge, but she had heard things from Nik. The reasons he'd decided to give Niso a chance, or at least some of them. So, as casually as if she was commenting on the weather, she noted, "Orion used to hurt people, too, mm?" Used to, and probably still did based on how much a fan he was of Niso, but Sera had no other evidence for that.
"So I know you're upset, but... if you need to take it out on someone, make it me, not them. All right...~?" There was a tired but confident quality to her voice, there. A soft tone that.. would have almost been seductive actually if not for the context of the situation. As if not just putting herself between them and Jazz, but actively inviting anything he could throw at her with no fear.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Downstairs, Jasna was still annoyed and angry with Marcie, but she watched Orion hand the plaster off to Mia, and decided Mia was nicer to look at than the green bitch.
At Mia's dilemma holding the plaster, Jasna reflexively jumped up to go get what was needed-- her deeply ingrained role as a service Pokemon overriding her current mood-- but as she hit the ground a bit of pain shot through her bad leg. She could walk now, but still limped sometimes and needed to take things easy, so this was just a small 'ow got up too fast', but it got her stopping and thinking just long enough.
Rather than get a stool or similar object, she called out to Mia-- "Mi-ao!" ugh that sounded more like a cat but okay-- and reached over to start dragging the largest present left under the tree toward Mia.
If Mia did decide to open it, she'd find that to start it mostly had a highly polished 'gold' finish-- an almost 'wet' look, as bright and smooth as chrome-- but had some orange and black accents on things like the buttons and the joints. Moreover, it had a few black 'tribal' sort of designs covering some of the smoother parts, done to vaguely resemble the style of a certain Disney demigod, but rather than island imagery it would show things like the Fighting-type emblem, Mia's gym badge, a lesbian axe (Nik wasn't sure if she'd remember the time he showed her that as a lesbian symbol, but if not it was an axe so c'mon that was still cool right?), stylized versions of the faces of several of her favorite Pokemon, and so-forth worked into the design.
Nik's favorite part, though, which he'd been sure to show off to Jasna very specifically, was the mini 'tattoo' 'Mia' on one of the broader 'muscle' sections. Where other sections painted over the parts that would shift and expand when she flexed were just filled in and slightly expanded in turn in the layer underneath, the mini-Mia was designed and placed in such a way that when the metal plates shifted and expanded to show more, her arms would move and reveal more muscle painted underneath, too, so she would flex when big Mia did.
...Did Jasna realize if Mia opened it the first thing she'd get to do with her new arm would be fix Orion's nice wall? Ehhh, kind of, but her thought was more just on 'this would make what you're doing easier', heh.

Kovu was indeed surprised to hear Sera reply back and looked over at the pinkette. How had she heard him? Even Jazz couldn't understand him well, he could but not like that. The reply however had the Luxray's ears going back briefly until she reassured him that Jazz would be fine. A yawn would be given before he resumed purring against Jazz, eyes never leaving Sera's. His job right then was to comfort his trainer. The curiosity that was this new human could wait for now. Sera's initial answer had Jazz raising an eyebrow, sitting up a bit more so that he was still leaning against Kovu. An apology wasn't really what he'd expected but... it was a start at least. The next statement elicited a tch sound from him as Sera went on to explain that nobody had been "trying" to lie. Right. It just sorta happened. Apparently Nik was protecting Sera and everyone else was protecting Nik which kinda made sense. Jazz still didn't really like it but whatever. He had done things to protect his family too so who was he to judge. That next comment had Jazz's eyes narrowing. No. That was not ok. Leave Orion out of this, that was his family dammit. "So did I." Hurt, not kill, but if Sera was going to bring that up, she might as well know what a piece of shit Jazz was too. Heh, she knew he was upset? No shit, what gave that away. Ya know what, he really didn't care anymore. He didn't have any fucks left to give. What hurt the most was the fact that he had told Nik about the hell Niso had given him and turns out that Nik knew Niso all along and was even friends with the jackass. "Look. I don't care who you fuck. I didn't ask to be a part of a fucking conspiracy. But now I have to tolerate that jackass apparently being a part of my life too and I hate that. Yeah, whatever, Nik said I don't have to be friends with Niso but dammit if everyone else already has. I might have been fine with it before, hell I actually thought Niso was kinda cool and crazy when he carved 'I love my girlfriend' into the building. That was before I saw his fucking terrifying aura. Before he had his Golurk kidnap me and before he threatened to throw Kovu in the ocean. I don't give a damn what happens to me, I've been through worse. But that bastard threatened my partner and that is unforgiveable." Jazz explained before rubbing his face, scratching behind Kovu's ears. Kovu licked Jazz's face, purring deep in his throat and making a nuisance of himself which elicited a soft chuckle from Jazz before they looked back at Sera. "Kovu was a gift from my dad yunno. He died back in Era years ago but, whatever. I'm more pissed at Nik right now than anything. I told him what Niso had done to me, what he'd almost done to Kovu and come to find out he was apparently protecting the asshole already. So whatever. The other shoe had to drop sometime, right? Can't seem to trust anyone without getting burnt in some way. I'm done trying. What's the saying? Fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice, shame on me. But whatever. Apology accepted I guess if you need to hear that. Though out of everyone here, you really didn't do anything wrong. The heart wants what it wants. I don't know you, but if Niso of all people makes you happy, fine. Just don't make me choose between my dreams and this huge secret. K?" Despite the subject, Jazz's voice was calm, level even. Maybe going back downstairs wouldn't be too bad but Arceus he was tired. Maybe he could just take a nap now. Would that be ok? No? Well fuck you too, brain.

Orion was a bit slower to grab one of the kitchen stools and set it down at Mia's side. Jasna's call, however, had his gaze raising to the tree as well. Oh, right. The biggest present of the hour not counting Jazz's bike. How had he forgotten that in all this mess? A small, sigh escaped from him.
"You might want to open that before you start working," he suggested. "Jazz's been working non-stop on it." It'd be clear what that meant soon enough, and it wasn't like half the room didn't already know what it was anyway.…Half, heh. Jazz and Sera were upstairs. Nik and Dasha were out Arceus knew where. Who was left but them four? He, Marcie, and Jasna already knew what it was. Hah. Hahah. Hah.
A thought to go upstairs and tell Jazz came and went. Sera was doing whatever she was doing, and he didn't want to ruin a potentially good conversation just by coming in at the wrong time. Wasn't like Jazz couldn't get a hug later or whatever else too. His eyes flashed pretty knowingly to Marcie, and a small shrug was given.

"Thanks." Giving just a general bland word of...well thanks at the stool, Mia set down the bucket and was about to get to work when it seemed everyone was trying to get her eyes on the present box...Really? Whatever it was they clearly thought she needed it but...okay to an extent Jas, as thoughtful as she could be, was still a Pokemon but really Orion? Not gonna wait for Jazz to come back down? She didn't even feel like she should open it without Jazz around to see it, even if he didn't come back down today or even for a damn week for all she cared.
"He's right." Marcie piped up from the kitchen, sipping her scotch. "You'll wanna open it."
"...So does everyone here know what this is but me? Christmas surprises are a dying tradition I guess..." She supposed if Jazz had been working on it for so long it'd be easy enough for Jas and Orion at least to have seen it being made...whatever it was, but Marcie? She'd kinda gathered Jazz knew her to some extent but they knew what this was too? ...Ugh. Whatever she...didn't have the energy to argue against this and Jas seemed to be scratching eagerly at the paper anyway so-
Plopping down onto her ass, sitting cross legged, she tugged the present infront of her, catching some loose paper in the corner with her teeth and starting to tear it apart. Felt a bit heavy but not too much, like, it was clear something inside was weighing it down around the center. "Right...er..."
Her hands hovered at the top of the case, a little tempted herself now, but she also knew it was a bit harsh to Jazz to open his gift without him to see...if he put in so much work it seemed especially wrong.
"...If he slaps me for this I'm hiding behind Orion."
Literally biting the inside of her cheek to just make herself get this over with given the whole room was telling her to do this, she shoved the top of the box open. "...Holy-" Too stunned to even finish the sentence, Mia ran her fingertips across the metal arm resting in the case...She knew Jazz was an engineer but...Arceus. Was this really-Okay yeah apparently she was putting it on. Adjusting her clothes to get her stump enough room to put on the arm, a thinner section of the metal slipped over her actual Bicep and her Stump's 'sleeve' slipped into the arm near perfectly. How did he know what size she was!?
Twisting the arm to get it right into place, it took a few seconds to properly link up to her stump. Fingers shifting...arm lifting...it was so light and way less stiff than the League issue one. Gold, black...shit these looked like Maui tattoos..."...Heh...hehehehhe...." She didn't have time to take it all in before her vision got too blurry. It was clear as fuck from stuff like the Axe Nik had done the art, Jazz had made it...she still didn't know if Marcie was involved in this and she was still too bitter at the Mienshao to pipe up. Mia herself was just tearing up non stop, and burst out into hysterical laughs as she instinctively wiped her eyes with her right arm again. Her brain was already screaming at her not to break this like the last one but fucking hell how long most this have took.
The plastering just went forgotten as, smiling through her hands, Mia just cried into the both of them. Between the Niso slip up and this, even she wasn't really able to handle her emotions right now...sure maybe getting a new arm was something the League would have done in time, but without even seeing all the cool extra shit Jazz had done this was so personal and detailed and fucking hell she could already tell it practically flexed as she did. How long did this take? How expensive was it? How-
"R-remind me...t-to get Jazz another bike...Or three..." She giggle-cried into her hands again for a little before tipping her head back, unable to stop laughing as her eyes shifted to the arm, just turning it about and taking the whole thing in. "...Arceus damn Jazz..."

Jasna somehow didn't expect this strong a reaction from Mia, but it made sense now that she was seeing it, and she was so glad she was happy. She flicked her arm to flip her tassel back/to the side and expose her paw more, then leaned a bit on Mia and rubbed her back, gently and dotingly. She was such a good person and she more that deserve this. ♥
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
.... Huh. After what Sera has been preparing herself for... she didn't want to say she was 'disappointed'-- she should have been relieved in fact-- ....but some part of her bordered on disappointed regardless. She was prepared for such outrage, such criticism. She was prepared to let him strike her if it made him feel better. And then what she got was..... She supposed her empathic manipulation might have contributed to it sounding more mopey than angry, huh? Eh, she'd go with that.
"Neither of you was ever in danger of dying," Sera stated firmly. "Roughed up and scared, but nothing that couldn't heal. You didn't know that, but Niso did, and Nik did." If only she'd known Nik specifically told Niso that green kid with the Luxray was off-limits from now on, but no one told Sera about the incident, and Niso hadn't known 'green kid' and 'Orion's cousin' were the same person. Hell, he probably would have sent an apology card if he had.
It seemed mention of Orion earlier had gotten the most reaction, so... "He's been learning to deal with his destructive urges much like Orion has. He's not there yet, but he's getting better-- you realize that 'girlfriend' vandalism was for me, yeah?-- but above all else he knows better than to kill anyone." She supposed there was a bit of line between human and Pokemon but... "He's like.. got this Zoroark who won't eat anything but fresh meat, but even he's only allowed to hunt way out in the wilds, no trained or semi-domestic Pokemon." And she frankly didn't like to think about even the most feral ones being food but... sigh, nature.
"This is the unbreakable rule. If he loses control, he loses me," she said, as if she didn't realize deep down that she probably stand by Niso through an occasional murder at this point so long as he didn't go full-on massacre or serial killer. She'd never admit that out loud, though. She'd never want to loosen that leash if she could help it.
"Knowing that now, what exactly did you expect Nikki to say? 'Gee sorry Jazz, that sounds traumatizing, but don't worry I know the dude it's all cool.' Or maybe, 'Oh sorry you had such a scare, but his girlfriend you've never met won't let him kill people so don't worry you were fine.' Like?? Genuinely what would you have wanted?" That came out almost as an accusation, and Sera had to calm and re-focus herself after.
"Sorry if I sound a bit critical there... Just, right now it sounds like you're accusing Nik of 'betraying' you for choosing me over you. But that'd be kind of like Nik claiming the whole world is a horrible untrustworthy place because you chose Orion over Nik. Like? Sorry you're not immediately more important to a new friend than someone she attributes with saving her life, but try looking at this from Nik's perspective for all of two seconds before totally committing to that 'betrayed me' idea maybe?"

The comment that neither Kovu nor Jazz was in danger of dying was news to them. Had either of them realized that their encounter with Niso might have turned out differently but eh, oh well. That was in the past and Jazz didn't really want to see that jackass again if he could get away with it. Working through destructive tendencies. Right. Like Orion and his fight club thing, huh. Jazz had already admitted to liking Niso and the whole vandalism thing was pretty cool. Hearing about that Zoroark though had a pretty disgusted expression passing over Jazz's face. Fuck, that was not okay on so many levels. Who would even keep a Pokemon like that? Right, apparently Niso. Then Sera asked him what he wanted, what he expected and all but accusing him for not being ok with this. Jazz tensed, narrowing his eyes a bit at least until she apologized and he was able to relax a bit. What he was hearing made sense, he hated it, but it made sense. Jazz would do the same thing for Luke or Orion and lie his ass off if it would protect them. Probably yell at them later for it but family was important to him. That was pretty much exactly what this was about, wasn't it. He couldn't really stay mad after thinking about it like that. Taking a deep breath, Jazz ran his fingers through his hair. "I don't know what I want. Yer right though, if it was Orion or Luke, I'd lie my ass off fer 'em and yell at them later. Family is that important." Another deep breath would be taken as Jazz sat up more, still leaning against Kovu for now. "Yunno I have destructive tendencies too. Self-destructive tendencies. My first instinct is to blame myself, call myself a dumbass, say 'I should've known better,' and move on. It hurts less if I expect things to fail. 'm trying but can't help but think that the other shoe's gotta drop sometime. Kinda like what happened today."

If he slaps me for this I'm hiding behind Orion- If Orion had been drinking something, he surely would have spit the drink. Instead, a weird sound, an almost pained laugh, puffed passed his lips. Oh yeah? Well then. "Consequences accepted," he answered dryly. As Mia opened the box, however, even Orion was a little surprised at the sheer amount of detail. M-man. He really should have been paying more attention, yeah? What do you mean he kind of zoned out through some of it this past… however long this had been? Heh.
….And then he got to hear that laugh. Orion… almost wished he could have summoned Jazz and Nik back down here for this but… Fuck. Heh. Shit. Fishing out his phone, he set it to video, hardly catching the first couple of laughs, but… the after subtler after effect. This was not blackmail he swore. Remind me to get Jazz another bike… Orion's thumb hit stop almost on some weird instinct.
Folding the phone back into his pocket, Orion shifted his stance some. "He's been working on it non-stop since the other one broke," he commented, ruffling a couple fingers through his hair. Suddenly, the weird desire to smoke hit, and he just nearly reached into his pocket- (only to remember he'd tossed out his last box more than a couple weeks back in an effort to quit heh). "Even spent a lot of the time we were in Alola dicking around with it with a dad-friend there." Luke's dad, to be exact, but he wasn't even sure Mia knew Luke apart from maybe registering him as a professor or something. "That one's made with the best of the best stuff and shouldn't break so easily." Or so Jazz had been telling him for weeks whenever he pulled him away to actually sit down and eat something.

Marcie was a little surprised by the reaction herself...well, maybe not surprised, Mia was getting a limb afterall, but genuinely intrigued at the very least. She was far more emotional than Marcie had thought she'd be, even in a situation like this. Was it the stress of the situation or where these her true colors? It was hard to tell...
Mia was unaware of the phone, but Marcie had given him a playful nudge with her elbow as he'd recorded. Mia was busy wiping her eyes, and would realize way later that this arm felt almost way to natural, to the point she hadn't even worried about poking her eye out when she used it to wipe her face. Just...it was different, yeah, but it felt so much like having her arm back rather than having a stick stuck to her stub like the last one. It was so stiff and this one felt so...free and loose. It weighed on her shoulder, but fucking barely! So natural so light...so damn cool! Without Jazz she had no clue it had other functions but already this was just fucking...WOW.
"Geeze he spent a holiday on this...fuck Jazz ya didn't need to do that..."Shaking her head she wiped her face again as she rose to her feet, just slowly flexing her hand again as she watched her fingers move so fluidly. It wasn't her real arm but already it felt just as real. If it wasn't gold she may briefly have thought she had her arm back while her eyes were so blurry...
"I can help assure you that won't break like the league model. I managed to get a look at their schematics while Jazz was building the arm in my facilities." Yeah make sure you put your mark on this as much as you can Marcie. "I supplied some funding to use far higher grade materials, and while it has a lot of extra functions, like the flexing, I can assure you, Jazz's designs and those metals? Your real arm will break before you even put a dent in that thing."
"Heh...I'll take your word for it...already broke one wall today....ah fuck I wanna punch something though!~" Grinning, happy tears still in her eyes, this was a genuine expression of joy as she almost jumped in place, gesturing at her new arm. "Just...look at this thing!? How did he even...how long...Arceus Jazz!" That last pair of words was loud enough to be heard upstairs.

That was better. Jazz seemed to really Get It now, and Sera breathed out slowly. As he explained his self-destructive tendencies, her thoughts went to some very relatable experiences of her own, but instead she'd comment on, "Nik's pretty similar. She wouldn't open up to people for years..." She smirked mischievously. "Until I kind of dragged her kicking and screaming into the Magic of Friendship, anyway~" She snickered.
Settling a bit again, she went on, "You've got too much in common to make holding a grudge worth it, especially when you share a house. Maybe try talking things out a bit tomorrow or something...~?" She was sure Nik would.
"And besides, no one expects you to know anything about Niso, so all this really changes for the most part is you knowing he's not as big a threat as people think." She stuck out her tongue. "If anyone knows and asks about your run-in, you can maybe tell them he didn't seem as scary as they say. Tone down his infamy a tiny ounce at a time and look like a super brave badass while you're at it~" She grinned, hoping given the 'badass' attire Nik got him Jazz would appreciate that.
"Not to m--"
"Arceus, Jazz!"
Oh? That was very faint between the stairs and the closed door, but Sera was pretty sure that was Mia's voice. "Ah... wanna head back down and see what the commotion's about? Maybe try to enjoy the night even?" She gave Jazz a wink. "You can always be mad at everyone later, after all. Why should our bullshit ruin your fun~?"

Pfffft, was that a My Little Pony reference? Ok, that was pretty good. Rainbow Dash was awesome and Jazz might have binge watched it on Netflix one of the nights his insomnia was acting up. Snickering a bit, Jazz rolled his eyes a little at that. Wasn't that kinda what Mia and Nik had done for him? Well, sorta. At least Jazz talked to people and he'd opened to Nik after that one night. Sera was right about having too much in common. Talking might be good, all things considered. "Yeah, maybe," Jazz echoed, falling silent before Sera went on. Hearing that nobody expected him to know about Niso was kind of a relief. The kid had been kinda cool before he decided to kidnap him. Man though, hearing that badass comment from Sera had him grinning just a little too much and snickering a bit. Yeah, ok, maybe this wouldn't be such a bad thing after all. He would've said something had Mia's voice not interrupted them. Well, sounded like they found it after all. Shit, he'd been hoping to see her reaction but oh well. Sera's suggestion had Jazz nodding as he stretched a bit. The wink had him smirking a bit more before he stood and stretched, "Yeah, gotta feeling I know what it is. 'm nawt mad 'n there's no harm 'n having fun. Maybe this night won't be a complete loss after all." Opening the door, Jazz motioned for Sera to go first followed by Kovu and himself. It didn't take too long for him to go downstairs and see Mia wearing his arm. Man, that felt good. Leaning against the couch, Jazz folded his arms across his chest, grinning just a bit too much. "Now, I may be wrong, but is there something different about ya, Mia~?" His voice sounded way too cocky to be taken seriously but hey, it was worth all those long nights just to see her face and the joy on it. That made it all worth it. Kovu would hang back with Sera for a bit, rubbing against her in way of thanks. Even if she did have Niso's scent on her, she was pretty cool. She'd even managed to get Jazz smiling again when the Luxray hadn't been able to despite his best attempts. He appreciated the effort, even if Sera had sort of been the cause of it.

Orion's eyes flicked sideways as Marcie spoke. Getting in props or indebting her to you? It didn't matter either way. This was a good thing all around, probably. In terms of things for AZOTH, it could even be sold as a corporate charity project if spun the right way. Should he really be thinking about this now? Yeah. Actually, now was probably the best time. They were going to clean up a lot to keep out from under Interpol's nose.
Mia's excitement, though, had him grinning a bit. "Have a punching bag out back if you want, actually," he thumbed back across the kitchen towards the yard. Nik's props had become something of a Pokkemon playground, but the squishier ones were fair game for punching, right?
Actually- Orion stopped on hearing the sound of someone coming down the stairs. Yellow eyes raised. Well, seemed one situation was resolved now. Hopefully the other too… Soon. Or fuck, heh. Orion stretched slowly letting Jazz have his moment.
