Visiting his wonder was something Aaru never thought he would hear Mu Arae of all people contact him about, but here they are, at the entrance to house Aaru. “Why did you want to come here again?” Not that he had anything to hide but Mercy was partially retired from all this senshi s**t as far as her husband was concerned. “Because I was curious? Also the fact that I had to call your actual phone Aaru. Do you not have the upgrade for your ring? Aren't you a knight?! Why are you so behind?!” He sighed and rolled his eyes at the small woman, "I've been busy? Kids and you know who my husband is right? He's a distraction all on his own.” a lovely one that he really doesn't deserve in the slightest, but is constantly thankful for every day. Mu Arae placed her hands on her hips, raising an eyebrow “Oh yeah? Apparently not all THAT much of a distraction since you decided to let your emotions wander…Lucky he loves you so much because I would've kicked your a**!”

Yeah, he deserved that.

“Look Mer, I know I ******** up that time alright? You don't need to remind me okay? Things worked out and I promised Ry I wouldn't do it again…” God the amount of crying and self-inflicted guilt he felt…. “I didn't know that would happen anyway, you're acting like I fell for her on purpose with the intent to hurt the one good decision I made in my life.” Not even upset at the use of one of the many nicknames she had, Mu’s gaze softened a little, “Yeah yeah I know, Ry told me…Still doesnt mean you deserve him OR Moon for that matter you a*****e.” Yeah, he deserved that one too, he supposed. “Look, I'll keep making it up to both of them for the rest of my life if I have to.” The knight turned to face the entrance to his wonder, “Ready?” or did she want to keep bashing him verbally? Is what went unsaid at the end.

Mu Arae crossed her arms but nodded, “Sure. Let’s see what you’ve got.”

Of course most of the tour went without a hitch, and even Dessie was….Reasonable, in the sense that she didn't appear at all, which was strange for the most part. Usually she would be around to praise whatever female adjacent person he brought along, but maybe even she could sense the attitude mixed with murderous intent and decided that it wasn't for her? Eh, maybe he should bring his short friend up here more often and he could get some peace and quiet. “So, I'm almost done with the mansion as a whole, just have a couple of rooms to go. No, you can't see the catacombs Mer, they're not ready and I don't exactly know all of what's down there.” He almost laughed at the huff of disbelief that she gave before he continued, “Gonna add me to that senshi network now? How the hell do you do that anyway?”

“It's simple. Lemme see your ring?” Mu waited for Aaru to pull his ring out of wherever he kept it, placing it in her hand. “Okay now…” She touched her finger to it, the ring glowed for a second and then it was over. “Done! Should be able to communicate with anyone now.” Wait..It was that ******** easy?! Why didn't he do this sooner?! Rather than give the smaller senshi the satisfaction of his disbelief, Aaru took his ring back with a smile. “Thanks. Diiiid you want to get out of here? I can feel Dessie trying to make her appearance and I would rather not deal with it.” Or the stupid ******** glowing firefly that seemed to follow him everywhere, always appearing just out of his peripheral. Confirmation was given along with a smart a** joke, and Aaru could not help the eye roll that was given to his long time friend as he “beamed” them back to Earth.

At least now he had access to more resources.
