Miyako's quiet retreat was rudely interrupted by her casual thematic ringtone. This particular ringtone was the alert for none other than the young ghoul's handler, David Sinclair. Not that Miyako received many calls, in fact, her phone really only buzzed for one. She didn't understand the reference or why David was proud of this particular tune, but she remembered the man raving on about a certain movie. She pulled the phone out and let the tune carry on in her hand until the phone answered itself. 

David greeted Miyako but clearly wasn't expecting anything back as he pressed on with a chuckle. Which brought up the point in the girl's mind of whether or not she was actually appreciated and not just used. David was clearly one for his jokes but Miyako did not really know many jokes and certainly wasn't good at identifying them. So naturally, she just thought David didn't really care for her well being or anything, but that was fine, in a morbid sort of way. The thing was, Miyako really didn't know much else. At times, she'd suspect that there had to be something like love, appreciation, and so on. She saw it all the time in humans, mostly, which didn't help her case because she really did subscribe to the notion of "ghouls are unnatural". But then again, why did she yearn for that? It was a puzzling dilemma that might never get answer under David. Thus, Miyako has thought of leaving David many times, but never could bring herself to. Why? She didn't really know. The thought of rebellion was mostly beaten out of her only two years prior but a part of her still clung onto the notion of wanting something more out of life. Not just eating. 

Which brings the point around to the Ancelotti. To answer David's unasked request, yes Miyako did leave something behind that belonged the Ancelotti, as per his earlier instruction. A group as large as them had to keep track of their members somehow so someone in their ranks designed a red rag to tie around their arm with a large stitched in "A" in black lettering. The whole thing was reminiscent to the Nazi's of Germany and often stirred up that imagery in humans as they heard about a "killer gang of ghouls" on the local news. But to Miyako, she didn't know history and certainly didn't associate with a negative imagery. In fact, she could only think of a positive connotation as the band symbolized something she never really had. Camaraderie. More specifically, she had only ever seen members of the Ancelotti being supportive and friendly with each other. They seemed nice for what it was worth. But orders were orders and that particular ghoul, more a boy than anything, had something Miyako was ordered to retrieve and she did just that. She also ended up eating the boy entirely as a phantom thought of David claiming "hide the evidence" circulated in her mind, but that's not entirely why she ate him. That 'part' of Miyako came out again and after that, there wasn't much she could do. Though it makes no difference, she did feel bad about it after the fact, but that is probably little consolation to the boy or even Miyako, herself.

That and David's desire for surprises reminded Miyako of something. [color=SlateGray]"Wait."[/color] Miyako gasped just as David finished his speel. It was, as a matter of fact, that Miyako did have something for David. [color=SlateGray]"I have a surprise for you."[/color] Miyako's voice perked up slightly (but nothing behind a faint sense of excitement) as the fantasy of adoration for her find came into mind. If David was expecting a followup to the girl's previous statement, he'd be left in without an answer as he could hear the phone being stuffed into the pocket but never turned off as the sound of ruffling and movement was heard on the other end. Ending the call was left to David as Miyako often forgot to formally end a call.

Miyako returned to the building dubbed "HQ" and with a secret excitement, looked forward to a cup of Japanese coffee.
