The crescent moon.

[looks. up?]

...Works for me.

Mikazuki it is. I suppose I should show you your room.

If you want.

[he gets a room? sweet. like he knows he basically asked for one but he could also just sleep under McGillis's desk or sth too, he's not picky.]

[He digs a chocolate out of his pocket, offering it to Mika as he heads up into the main house.]

I will have to find a reason to have you close. I somehow doubt "new secretary" suits you. Bodyguard, perhaps?

[Um. Yes. Yoink.]

Definitely the second one.

Do you like chocolate, Mikazuki?

Yeah.

[unwraps it. puts it in mouth.]

Me too.

[He watches a moment, smiling faintly, and then shows Mika down some fancy hallway to a pretty nice room.]

Is this acceptable?

[kind of. checks out the room, looking a little out of his depth for a second.

but ultimately just goes with it.]

Sure.

Very well. You will accompany as my bodyguard starting tomorrow. Breakfast is at seven. Ah, and I think we will get you some more fitting clothes, first thing.

[And perhaps more chocolate.]

[but my ancient and giant fuckoff military coat that was probably given to me by orga last time i was summoned because vague handwavey gestures the au]

Is that everything for now?

I suppose. Was there something you wanted to do?

Not much.

[just investigate his surroundings.]

I don't really have anything I need tonight, though I thought we might get to know each other.

Sure, we can do that.

Join me for some conversation and tea then.

[He's still not sure what on earth to make of this demon. Though he can feel his life force with his own. It's a strange extra sense to get used to.]

[it's not like there's much for McNuggets to compare that feeling to, but if he had a frame of reference Mika would notably feel robust, a whole lot of power compacted into a tiny frame.

as it is from a human perspective he's just terrifyingly powerful but that's also what McGillis signed up for, so like.

Mika doesn't bother answering that with words, instead just turning to fully face McGillis cooperatively.]

[He's really just... trying to figure Mika out a little. But he smiles calmly, in a friendly enough way, and turns to lead Mika to the living room, adjacent to the kitchen where he starts to make some tea.]

Tell me a bit about yourself.

[???]

You had to know who you were summoning.

Certainly I know about the great demon Barbatos. A legendary figure of a distant war.

But I would like to know about you as a person. What do you like and dislike? Your hobbies and interests?

That's not what you summoned me for.

Do you object to getting to know each other?

[He brings out a tray of tea and cookies, setting it down to serve them both.]

I don't object. But I'll only tell you stuff you actually want to know. I'm here to do a job, not make friends or talk about my dreams.

Do you have dreams?

[He hands over a cup of tea and sits back with his own.]
