Nemo felt Raiya's reaction was enough confirmation. With a small smirk he returned to his station and began making more crepes to cover the rest of the group members. It didn't take very long after all the preparations had already been completed earlier. One thing that could be noted was Nemo's refusal to remove his glove, often having to do some actions one handed in the kitchen. However the handicap didn't really seem to actually hinder him.

"I can't, unless you forgot the extra love." Nemo joked as he washed his hand off, now finished himself.

Zuri's appearance drew Nemo's attention. "Ah yes, breakfast is nearly here. We'll be calling everybody to the table momentarily, then you can eat all you want." He replied.



"Such a lack of exotic ingredients would've never occurred at my house. Shame, you can't say I didn't try to stick to the theme." Nemo commented as he stepped away from the fridge and walked over-strangely enough-to the alcohol cabinet. "No matter, I shan't crumble from a minor setback. It's at times like this where I get to flex the creativity muscles located within my brainium." Nemo rambled as he peered inside.

After a few moments of looking Nemo seemed to have settled on something. He grabbed two bottles and then closed the cabinet. Nemo began to amass more various ingredients now. He poured cream into a bowl and spiced it with a small amount from one of the bottles he grabbed. "I spent quite a bit of time in Italy, despite the presence of the church. Whenever I stopped by I always ate as much as I could. And of my favorite treats, the gelato made there definitely makes the list, one of my favorite flavors was cherry amaretto." Nemo explained as he whisked the cream by hand with a small amount of sugar added, clearly making homemade whipped cream.

Once finished Nemo set the bowl aside for later. He went on to delicately slice strawberries and place them in a bowl with fresh raspberries for later as well.

Nemo initialized the final step of his recipe when he began to make a batter with flour, eggs, milk, sugar, melted butter, and a pinch of salt. Once done, he added his finishing touch by pouring in a small amount of liquid from the other bottle he had taken earlier. After setting it down the bottle could be identified as amaretto liqueur, which would add a hint of sweet almond flavor to the batter.

Nemo heated up the stove and grabbed a frying pan and poured a small amount of the batter into the pan. He rolled the pan around to coat it even and thinly with the mixture. To somebody accustomed with desserts, he was clearly making a crepe. After putting a slight brown to the bottom side, Nemo flipped it with the pan to the other side and repeated the process.

Once done cooking Nemo slid the crepe onto a plate. He placed the cut strawberries and raspberries inside neatly. He put the whipped cream into a pastry bag he scavenged to find and slowly squeezed it out through the metal tip and onto the crepe, giving the cream a pretty pattern which Nemo seemed quite adept at making.

Nemo folded the crepe up into a neat cone with the filling inside and garnished it with powdered sugar on top. Finally done, Nemo picked up the plate and set it by Raiya. He put on a goofy sounding french accent before speaking. "Voila, it is a amaretto infused crepe with strawberries, raspberries, and cherry maraschino flavored whipped cream." Nemo explained, revealing what the first bottle of alcohol he used was.

Nemo rolled the sleeves of his pajama shirt up to his elbows and leaned up against the counter. "Sounds good to me." Nemo commented as he went over to the fridge and peered inside, particularly looking for what kind of fruit was available. "Taking into consideration what is already being prepared, and our time constraints, we could make anmitsu, strawberry daifuku, or kakigori, depending on if there is a ice shaver here." Nemo suggested.
"What a splendid idea." Nemo replied to Felix as he got to his feet.

Nemo noticed Zoey leave to the arcade without speaking to anybody. Not very sociable, eh? He thought.

Raiya's sarcasm seemed to have no physical effect on Nemo. "Good to hear." He replied as he walked past her and into the kitchen. "Well, let's get started, wouldn't want to keep our companions waiting. You'll have to show me what you're capable of, master chef." Nemo commented back to her as he looked around the room.

Nemo cocked his head to the side as he looked at the air Ava was manipulating on her palm. "Well, there's nothing stopping you from experimenting anymore. If you were capable of blowing out the side of a barn, it should be good enough. There is the concern of reliability especially with young magick, which is why I often prefer blades or firearms. Sometimes the simplest choice is the most satisfying. It makes the others all the more fun when they are needed." Nemo replied.

"Though fear not, Frau Kurier. Conflict and combat is my specialty. The duel is my dance. Between my partner and I, I'm sure we can handle the threats we'll be facing, in fact I'll be looking forward to it." He explained.

"Ah! Travis, good morning. You're just on time to meet our new pals. Seems the gangs all here." He greeted as he noticed Travis appear.

Nemo gave a slight laugh in response to Raiya's reaction before she left to the kitchen. "Peachy as ever."

"Ah yes, the Alps. Beautiful, are they not? I once spent a whole night at the summit of Mont Blanc, truly a breathtaking view. I've always felt home in the cold, so the climate didn't bother me none. In fact, it only enhanced the experience for me." Nemo explained.


"We have some things in common, you and I. The church certainly never held a very good opinion of me either. Abomination is a title I know quite well. However sometimes I feel that I can't blame them for thinking that way. I haven't done much to dispel their accusations. They hunt me, I hunt them, who will be left standing in the end? I'm not sure. But I like to keep it simple."


"However I doubt the persecution you've felt from the church will end with the church. Witchhunters are always a rather judgmental bunch, the Cult will always be a stick up somebody's rear end for some reason. The world we inhabit is filled to the brim with characters just waiting for a conflict. It's why we both are where we are right now." Nemo said, keeping a rather upbeat attitude through his ramblings.

"I'm curious, have you even been in a fight before? Have you taken a life Ava Kurier? Do you carry a weapon?" He asked.

(Nemo isn't asian)

"ich lernte in das Vaterland, naturlich." Nemo replied pleasantly. "Und das ist mein bester Freund und Kamerad, Raiya Mamushi." He added seeing Raiya didn't seem too interested in pleasantries herself, glancing at Raiya before turning back to Ava. His positive introduction of her was odd considering what polar opposites they were. However with Nemo's pale ghostly visage and Raiya's heavy metal appearance, they made for a rather intimidating looking duo.

"So, tell me Ava, what brings a young girl such as yourself here, in such a dangerous and precarious situation?" He asked.
"Might be at the bottom of the list, but... it's still on the list." Nemo commented as he faced Zuri.

"Hmmm, what an interesting statement." He spoke as he rolled his fingers on the side of his head as the thought. "If I didn't know better I'd say you're hungry. But I suspect it's more likely you're low on mana. I might be a mana aficionado, but what works for me in these situations probably will not work for you. My methods are a tad bit unorthodox... But luckily we do have a medical type magi in our little party now." Nemo explained as he looked to Alya. "I'm sure dear Alya has a mana-transfusion spell up her sleeve, hmm?"

Nemo turned to Ava when her introduction was done. "Guten Morgen, Frau Kurier. Ich heisse Nemo Smiley." Nemo spoke in German as he introduced himself after picking up on her accent. Nemo's German sounded even more natural than his Japanese.
"You look lovely my dear, t-shirts are in this decade. Casual minimalist fashion is very a la mode... You'll need some footwear once we leave, sneakers or 'flip flops' come to mind to match your current ensemble. But it's your call, chief." Nemo explained to Zuri.

Nemo let out a small chuckle. "Isn't putting on the clothes half the fun though?" He asked. "Not going to make it easy for me, huh? Some people would kill to have my creative talents so freely at their disposal. Well, if you end up ill prepared for a sleepover it wont be on me. It's called a 'pajama party' for a reason." Nemo finished, looking over to Felix and the newcomer afterwards.
"The Emperor's New Pyjamas, huh?" Nemo replied, pausing to think for a moment. "A bold choice Rai, lounge-wear does have it's benefits. What if someone breaks in? Fighting someone without any clothes is just an indignity, win or lose. Learned that the hard way a few times in the past." Nemo explained. "Speaking of which, what if someone did break in? We wouldn't match at all..." He added, shaking his head while sounding seriously concerned.

"What would you wear for a sleepover?" Nemo asked. "Not to mention going around barefoot, one minute you've mobilized for a midnight snack, the next you're tumbling headfirst down the stairs with a shard of glass sticking out of your heel."

"But no matter," Nemo shrugged, "...I can make underwear too."
