His heart calming down just a little now that he'd said his peace, Niso almost burst out into giggles, both shocked and not shocked in the slightest by the little rant he'd just gone on. Could he really blame himself? It was a struggle to just not say her name and let his little fan know who this amazing girl was. He opened his mouth as if to continue, just rounding off with a "so...yeah. That's my girlfriend" Perhaps before seeing what he had to say, when the sound of the whimper caught his attention, head snapping to the wall and narrowing his eyes, calling through the wall.
『Bruce can you play tricks on me later I'm not-』Then Sera burst in. Big smile. Tears. Why tears. A few weeks ago his heart probably would have stopped out of dread but he'd luckily managed to learn what "tears of joy" meant, a smile popping onto his lips, completely oblivious as to why she was so happy but just immensely glad that she was, watching her run up onto the table, arms open for her to brag about whatever amazing day she'd had that made her so happy. 『Sera!~』 No point hiding her name now 『I was just-OOPH!』 Practically tackled off the table and down into the couch, the two bounced a little from the force, Niso clearly a little stunned as he looked over Sera's head before registering where she'd ended up, giggling like a kid almost as he wrapped his arms around her, still half sliding off the couch from the awkward landing, but far more than happy to just accept what in his eyes was just a random display of love and affection, giggling still as he nuzzled into her gorgeous pink hair and practically breathed her in as he tried to calm down enough to speak, squeezing her tight but careful not to hurt her.
『I love you too!~』Squeezing her a little tighter for a moment, he reached to cup her cheeks, lifting her head and giving her a single but deep and affectioante kiss, trying to meet her eyes even as she was likely still tearing up, just beaming at her, immensely joyful for her presence, and in an odd way, proud to have the girlfriend he'd just talked about here to display all of her wonderful traits.
『I take it you had a good day...~ You're doing that happy crying thing again~』His tone was a little playful as he stuck his tongue out, about to shift to make the two more comfortable, but ended up just slipping down to the floor between the couch and the table, snickering a little before shifting his eyes to their guest, Niso idly stroking Sera's hair as he continued to beam with pride.
『Sooooo~ This is the amaaaaaazing girl I was telling you about.~ Did I mention she's very, very pretty?~』

She hugged him as tight as she could, until it probably hurt her arms more than him, to be honest. Sera was moderately athletic when performing but her brute strength was not especially high, while the level of punishment Niso could take was godlike, so she didn't exactly feel guilty putting everything she had into this, ehehehe.
Happy crying thing? She laughed weakly, not sure if she'd quite call it that. This was... too intense to be just 'happy'. 'Joy' was a thing, 'elation', and maybe some of that too but... She guessed.. a lot of it almost felt like... relief? An intense overwhelming relief toward something she'd never placed how badly she needed.
She wiped her-- OOF! Actually she burst into a giggle when Niso accidentally pulled them into the floor. She guessed that was about half her fault, huh. With a momentary struggle to untangle herself, she managed to get to her feet and wiped her tears before offering Niso a hand up.
Once back on the couch, having left the middle spot for Niso, she introduced herself. "I'm Sera. And this dork.." A brief laugh-sob hybrid escaped her, and she turned to beam softly at Niso. "Is the amazing, adorable, precious, devoted, over-the-top bundle of chaos who somehow loves me just as I am without ever asking anything in return."
Turning her attention back to the other man, she asked both of them, "So who might our new friend be?"

Orion was… still vaguely confused in a way he wasn’t entirely sure of how to rectify. He stood there looking at two affectionate children, and it was just so jarring in comparison to this chaos lord he’d been asking questions of and just ?? They were… Orion’s lips twitched up as he realized the phrase that kept coming to mind was “so random” which didn’t help his argument any when it came to chaos and entropy but ??
Oh, yes right. Orion blinked back into space as Niso introduced his girlfriend and she subsequently named herself. Ah so it is Sera. He thought that was what her name sounded like a short few seconds ago when Niso had first said it, but everything had happened so fast he didn’t quite have time to process it. Hm, why did that name sound familiar aside from probably actually being Sarah which was a common enough name back in Era? Well, no matter.
A chuckle escaped from him as she asked, realizing Niso probably didn’t even remember his name and had been associating him as ‘the fan’ this entire time. “Name’s Orion,” he answered shifting to lean on the side of the couch just a bit again. “Just a bit of a fan of our mutual chaos lord.” His voice had a sing-song somewhat playful tone to it now. “We’ve met a couple times now, and he was nice enough to sit me down for a drink.” He held up the entire liter of soda still in his left hand as if to emphasize this.

Niso...was actually hurting a little bit. Not that he minded in the slightest, but it was hard to tell if his playful "Gack!" sound was more joke than truth. Despite being able to heal and push himself through pain now, he was actually ridiculously frail, to the point Sera could probably do a lot more damage than she realized if she wanted to. Still, it wasn't tight enough for any real pain, and by the time they were working their way back up to their feet, Niso just tilted his head back with a soft smile, holding up his hand for her to take as he hoisted himself up thanks to her, patting some crumbs off the back of his pants since ditto hadn't cleaned the carpets in a while... Maybe he should ask Marcie to get him a roomba. Shaking his head of the thought, Niso turned about to the couch, realizing the spot that had been left for him, but instead, with a somewhat cheeky smile, just cupping a fist to his mouth as he comically cleared his throat.
『Ahem』
He leaned over, still grinning like a cheeky monkey as Sera likely gave him a perplexed look. He kinda relied on it honestly, as when it was clear to both of them she had no idea what he wanted, he'd swoop his arms under her where she sat, one behind her back one under the legs, swiftly taking her place and stretching his legs out over the now 2 empty seats, parking Sera down in his lap and just giving her the cheekiest grin as he rested back against the arm. 『Better~』
Eyes tilting down to Orion, realizing Sera had asked him something a moment ago, he narrowed his eyes for a second as he gave his name...had he given it before...wow he let someone into his house without knowing their name. If he where anyone else he'd be shocked and apalled at himself. Honestly the more shocking part was he let someone into his house after they knew his own name. 『Yeah I was just out in the wasteland, training some pokemon, admiring the gorgeous grey view~』 Not a hint of sarcasm to be noted 『And bumped into him. Despite being my fan he seemed harmless enough. I mean, his pokemon actually seem to like him so that's a good sign for starters』 Scratching his cheek idly as Orion lifted up the litre bottle, he averted his eyes but not overly so, just briefly wondering if Sera would tell him off for drinking stuff right out of the bottle, and also trying to make sure ditto wasn't still in view with the carton he was digesting. Yep he'd slithered off somewhere thankfully. Eyes shifting back to Sera once he was pretty sure any, if any potential glares had stopped, he beamed up at her and hugged her waist, pulling her back into him. 『Noooooooow you answer~ What has my girlfriend in such a fantastic mood? Finally nail that new contest routine? Do I get another cheeky wink perchance?~』 He wasn't overly dependant on those, but he did absolutely love it when they happened.

Perplexed look? Not quite. A little questioning, but more in a 'what are you thinking', almost daring way. The 'hmmm~?' was definitely implied either way though, and she slightly yelped as he swept her up, giggling when she settled in his lap.
Mm? Orion, huh? Hrm.. She felt like someone had mentioned an Orion two or three times recently, but couldn't place who. Was it Niso? She didn't think so, but..? Eh, there was every chance it was some random friend, in which case it was almost certainly a coincidence, and #Memory, so the thought was dismissed.
As Niso 'defended' their guest, she chuckled lightly, then started to respond only to notice Niso looking at something and stop. Hm?? She got briefly distracted trying to figure it out. (Orion's bottle did not occur to her even remotely.)
She was only snapped back by Niso's hug and question. "Hmm? I'm--" Ahehe..? "No, my day was pretty dull, I was... You, sweetheart. Hearing you is what got me so excited~" She pulled his head closer and kissed his temple. She did have some sense of discretion and not wanting to be rude, though, and turned her attention back to Orion.
"As for your friend, no need to justify anything. I know you wouldn't bring anyone here you thought was too dangerous." 'Too' might have been the operating word, but, heh. "...Or at least, I'm sure anyone you brought would understand that if they hurt your girlfriend, you'd make sure they and everyone they ever loved stayed on the verge of death for the rest of their natural lives~ So I'm not too worried~" ... That might have come out a little too cheerful. She had... some sense of discretion, but maybe not a lot.

These two were gonna give him diabetes. He could feel the insulin resistance building up. A small puff of air escaped from Orion before melting into a smaller chuckle as Niso talked about him. His Pokemon seem to like him so that’s a good sign. Heh, now if only people liked him as much as his Pokemon did. Orion shifted a little as Niso and Sera exchanged small conversation. More diabetes.
As the conversation was turned back to him, however, he flashed a simple smi— Oh. Oh heh. Heh? Heh. So that’s why she’s his girlfriend. He could see it now. This one wasn’t all blind rainbows and smiles… just a different type of knife in her drawer set. Something more serrated maybe.. Heh, that pun. Heh. “Heh, of course,” his tone came out soft yet dry. “Wouldn’t dream of hurting such an adorable couple anyways~” Never mind that he’d done some pretty sick things in the past one of which included hurting a couple specifically. Nah, he was too amused with his situation as it was now. No need to ruin it~
There was a pause before he rolled one shoulder slowly. “From what Niso said~ you’re a performer or something?” Actually… actually she did look strangely familiar now that he looked again? Perhaps a contest winner or something? He… uh… actually didn’t keep up with that much, but he could imagine it at least???

Her day was dull huh? Well that was sad to hear. Though if she hadn't had a good day what had...oh. Oh it was him. She'd...she'd heard all of that. Hah. Hahahah. Aaaah why was his skin crawling at that realization? He'd basically just spoke honestly! He'd given her a practical speech about honesty one of their first meetings, why did speaking from the heart suddenly feel so cringey just because he hadn't realized she was there to listen? A red tint overtook his cheeks as she kissed his temple, letting out weak and nervous laughter as he just pushed his face into the back of her shoulder, letting her almost feel the heat radiating from his face.
『Glad it made you so happy...~』 He mumbled through her shirt. As Sera went on to Orion...well embaressment faded to be replaced by a sense of...well he didn't even want to reduce it by picking a better word. "Awe". He could easily forget that Sera wasn't just sunshine and rainbows, but whenever he remembered the slight bit of playful malice within her he couldn't help but just love her all the more, though, as Sera would feel a loving hug around her waist, Orion would look into the cold white eyes of Niso's thicker aura coated form, only covering his head and shoulders with the thicker layer, and the moment Sera tried to see what Orion might have been looking at, the aura would fade. He...wasn't ready to show her his new tricks just yet. 『She wasn't lying~』 Smiling up at Sera if she even did glance his way, pure, sweet, fake innoncence radiating from his features as he rested his chin over her shoulder, Niso beaming genuinely again as the topic of her contests came up. 『She's a contest performer!~ One of the best for sure. I don't really get into that stuff but she looks like she's having so much fun I can't help but enjoy the shows!~』 He flashed her a smile and squeezed her waist into him again. 『All those faces marvelling at her, what boyfriend wouldn't be proud watching her perform?~』It...dawned after about a second that Sera's contests had caused her a fair bit of personal bother lately, and he pulled in his shoulders. He knew she was feeling better but upsetting her again by being too eager about something had been a poor habit from past experience. Like when she kinda freaked out when he'd said he loved her too quick...

Oh?? What he interested in hearing about that? Sera perked up. "I--" She'd barely opened her mouth when Niso butted in, and she put on a half-fake pout, not that Niso could see it from their current positions, ehehe. While legitimately slightly annoyed in that she wanted to answer for herself, it was hardly like she could blame him for being eager to brag about her, and that side of it was kind of endearing honestly. Silly dork.
She affectionately rolled her eyes-- both at the overall thing and his admission he didn't especially get into contests except to watch her-- and shoved her hand lightly against his face, pushing just slightly before chuckling and turning her attention back to Orion. "Yeah, I'm a coordinator. Mostly I sing and dance and choreograph Pokemon routines."
Niso was right to realize it was a bit of a sensitive subject, but she felt like she was getting better (or... or was it just all that adoration he'd poured out for her before still making her feel lighter than usual? ehehe?) and chose to frame it as, "I haven't done anything too big for a couple of months, but I do smaller shows occasionally. And I don't 'need' to or anything, but I actually like doing mini street shows for tips sometimes." Nothing too elaborate with no proper stage. Usually showing off a few select ideas to test how they'd go in a crowd or because they were a proven crowd pleaser. And of course, she had zero need for money with Niso, but a) she liked to feel like she 'could' support herself even when she didn't have to, and b) the tips served as a good measure for how good they were that day, eheh.

…Yellow eyes blinked a little harder than necessary. Well at least he’s serious about his words or Niso was just fucking with him. One or the other. As the conversation moved briskly by, however, Orion relaxed again pretty easily. A coordinator, a singer dancer and choreographer… Well, good to know, eh? Mini shows for tips sometimes too. Hmm, well now.
“Very impressive,” Orion mused with a small grin. “I’d love to see one of your shows sometime. Maybe Niso won’t be the only one making a fan out of me~” It … wasn’t even really a lie. While he wasn’t necessarily invested in coordinating now, his addictive personality argued he could get just about as invested as if he were watching some reality TV which… Yeah. That. THAT “Got a stage name or something similar~?”
…Huhm. He only just realized they were both spotlight addicts— or at least it seemed that way. Niso on the news. Sera on a different type of news.

With the hand pushed into his face Niso just snickered, quickly cheering up since Sera seemed so gung ho to talk about the topic and just watching her talk about herself, admiring her quietly from the position behind her. He vaguely recalled spotting a street show or two during the brief time he'd been stalking her after the Gala, but he wasn't all that aware she was still doing them....was it still stalking if you were there boyfriend? Yeah. Yeah probably. He'd maybe just try and 'accidentally' pass by when she's performing some time. Nothing stalkerish about that.
Eyes shifting back to Orion, he wasn't sure if he was entirely glad about him becoming a fan of Sera's. On the one hand. Yes please. She needed more fans and more people to realize she was amazing. On the other hand...Orion was a fan of him which...did not make him sound like the safest person, even now after they'd gotten to interact a bit, the thought of someone who admired him of all people also following Sera's career...he got a tad protective to say the least.
Then again he wasn't really one to talk, but if anyone was gonna hurt Sera it was him...which wasn't gonna happen anyway!
At the mention of a stage name he opened his mouth to speak, before quickly hushing up, just pressing his mouth lightly against the back of her shoulder and letting Sera speak for herself.

"Yeah?" Having more fans-- fans she knew but who weren't close before seeing her perform, for that matter-- definitely sounded nice~
At his question, she opened her mouth, noticed Niso start to do the same, and then realized he stopped himself, earning a half-stifled snicker from her. She nuzzled a bit against him before answering. "My full first name is pretty distinct so I've just been using that. It's Serafeyna."
Hm, hm, hm. "...You know, if you're not too busy, now-ish or some time before you leave I could put something together for you." Performing for a new audience might be fun-- and if he brought out his Pokemon she could ask them about their thoughts, too, so it would be a proper if small audience.
She did... have another thought that had sort of started floating in her head, though. "...Hey love. Is there any chance you'd ever like to try performing with me, by the way...?"

Serafeyna. Now… now where the fuck had he heard that before? It was a distinct name, but it didn’t feel entirely foreign either? Was it from some sitcom he watched or maybe he’d actually seen her contest on TV sometime or something? A hand raised up, and a few fingers traced through green locks, twisting them around as he tried to place it.
He paused, however, as she spoke again. “Oh?” Maybe if he saw her Pokemon he could piece it together. Maybe he was just overthinking this and trying to justify some genuine interest that was bubbling up. “That’d be nice to see~ We weren’t doing anything really before you came in…” His eyes flicked to Niso thereafter. Diabetes went through his head again at the question Sera asked.

Niso's cheeky grin persisted behind Sera's shoulder at that brief little nuzzle, kinda glad he'd let her answer since he woulda just said she had no stage name and looked a bit dumb when she corrected him. Of course it was technically just her real name, but it was like how most people he considered "friends" called him Niso, Business associates, interpol officers, dipshits named Ryusuke, they tended to refer to him as Konto. Still his name but just using a different part of it seemed to do a world of difference. At the mention of a performance he got visibly excited. It had been a while since he'd last seen her perform and he was genuinely eager to see her go. He already expected it to be less energetic than a full performance on stage, but he was already thinking of ways to make it better. Could Bruce conjure up a whole stage out back? Probably not...maybe like a summer camp level stage at best, and a mediocre one at that. Still if he could quietly bribe him with a hunting trip around aleal this weekend it'd probably work, bruce did love how all the prey was slowed down by the snow...
『Hm?』Caught off guard he had to rewind his memory to realize what was asked of him, there was a brief moment of joy at the idea before it just...sorta...dipped...yeah. He couldn't do that. Can't have a wanted man performing with ya. The idea of doing just small performances for people they were safe with, like, right now, didn't occur to him for a solid five seconds, at which point the cheeky grin returned with a roll of his eyes.
『I dunnooooo Sera...I mean with my two left feet and this face, I'm gonna be tripping all over you while interpol ruin the show.』 His eyes turned back up to her and he kissed her shoulder briefly.
『Ya know, i'd be absolutely terrible at it, but working on one with you sounds really fun. It'd be like my little show at the gala only with a less captive audience~』His pun game was getting stronger.
『For now though I bet you don't want me messing you up infront of your fan. Buuuuuuuuuuut I also don't wanna let go sooooo...』His eyes dipped to the side before flicking back to her. By now Sera would easily know a silent request for a kiss from him when she saw it. This was one of those times. Upon recieving it, she'd be let go from his arms as he leaned back on the arm. 『Need anything set up?』

Sera's face brightened a bit when Orion agreed. "Great~! It's been a minute since I've had some outside feedback, so this should be fun~"
Niso's Interpol comment got a guilty smirk out of her, but the captive audience line had her half-snorting in a failed attempt to suppress a bright giggle. Good, excellet.
"Oh no, I didn't mean right now with no training, don't worry," she told him, smiling sweetly and rather pointedly ignoring that request. She lingered there a moment, then finally obliged him with a slightly rough kiss, briefly biting his lip, then slightly chuckling as he let her up.
She took a moment to stretch, then went on. "I'm okay for setup. But actually, I was sort of thinking... if you did like it... no one would even question why a performer was wearing a mask, so....~?" She grinned, then looked to Orion and back to Niso. "I mean you have a fan right here I'm sure would come to see you~"

Orion smirked a little and gave a nod. A weird puff of air did escape from him at Niso’s heavy use of pun, however. Huh wait, if Sera got it then she was there for it as well? That was interesting, maybe he’d have to ask about it further. Orion shifted a little and set the soda bottle down on whatever piece of flat furniture was closest before stretching a little as prep was mentioned.
A small quirk of lips would come at the commentary that followed. “Or just the right makeup can throw someone off,” he chuckled a bit. “But actually…” He… probably shouldn’t even be thinking aloud given that was an inclination towards impulsiveness but damn if he wasn’t comfortable at the moment. “I have a friend who might help make it near impossible to profile you as you…” Orion snickered a bit. “Ever heard of the Chroma cookie? You eat it and gender swap!”
