Rikka had a day to herself, not having received any new Cases to undertake, the young Occult Detective had finally began to organize the books and tomes in her Study. She wore an apron over her usual outfit, and had her hair under a white maid's cap as she tried to keep the dust off her clothes as she was also cleaning the Study up a bit--although the extreme amount of dust that came with age began to be a bit much as she coughed some. "A-ah..!" She gasped out, coughing more. "M-maybe I should stop, this is becoming a bit too much." She wanted to stop already, there was too much to organize, and too much to clean.

"Are you sure you know the girl?" Luna asked as the two of them were approaching Rikka's home. Clive had told Luna that the girl looked familiar, and her last name was very familiar to him, after a bit of research he then exclaimed and announced that he and her were good family friends.
Well family friends in the sense that his family knew about Matsuoka's family and that they had met a few times. "Yes Luna I'm very certain, it's been a while but I do recognise the name Matsuoka," he said, "though she certainly has grown up a lot since I last saw her."
"If you say so Clive," Luna said as she followed him as he knocked on the door.

Rikka perked, hearing knocks upon her front door she grew alarmed. Was she about to have Guests? She hadn't even cleaned up the Manor at all, it wasn't messy but it wasn't spotless either. Rikka put her hands on her head, feeling thoughts race around in circles around her brain--until she realized she was neglecting the front door and snapped herself out from her panic. Taking off the 'headdress' and apron she put them aside, extending a hand to grasp ahold of the handle to the front door. She began to pull it towards her as the door opened, seeing a pair of individuals standing there.
"Hello." She smiled warmly to them, although it faded as she remained confused, "Who... are you two?"

"Good morning," Clive said, "you might not remember me, but we were the two magicians that fought with you during that Phantom/Infershia incident a week ago. Clive Edingburgh, and my apprentice Luna O Farrel."

"A-ah!" She gasped out pointing at them, flashes in her mind occurred as she remembered she had caught sight of the two of them before as the saying went 'all hell broke loose'. "Y-yes! I remember!" she exclaimed, smiling, "Although I don't see what was special of either of you to stop upon my doorstep, I'm only a Half-Blood." She confessed, shifting a bit timidly as she stared at the ground. "I'm sure the other Magicians whom were present would be of greater interest."

"Ah no, no that's not why I'm here. Well I am here because you're a magician, but it's because I actually know you," Clive said before he tilted his head, "you really don't remember me do you Rikka?" he asked.

Rikka stared at Clive, looking at him head to toe, her eyes widened a moment as if remembering something but the best she could make-out in her mind was a flash of his silhouette looking down upon her from when she was younger. "I... feel like I know you, but my memories are a bit blurry. My a-apologies." She looked down.

"It's fine, I almost didn't recognise you either," Clive said rubbing his head, "our family were good friends, I often come to Japan to your family home and play with you. Just think of me except without all of this fancy getup, uh...think bowtie, white shirt, black pants and...suspenders...yeah I think that's what I wore usually when I was a kid."

Rikka looked at him again, putting a hand to her mouth as she covered it. You could hear the sound of a stifled giggle, "O-oh, I remember." She lowered her hand, smiling, "I couldn't tell that you were the same 'ol Clivey from back then, you've grown into such a handsome young Magician." She giggled, pushing some hair behind her ear, "Already taking an Apprentice up even? You've gone so far since those years ago, I can't help but express faint envy." She joked, "Although... Such a pretty young girl with you, are you two..?" She raised a brow, "Lovers..?"

Luna blushed furiously as she hid behind Clive, "No I'm not!" she said in a muffled shout as Clive smiled, "good to see you too Rikka, you've grown up a lot and you're even using the same magic as your mother," he said, "and thank you for the compliment. I found Luna when she was lost in Japan and attacked by a Kaijin, since then she has never left my side and I'm glad to have her as an apprentice," as a deeper shade of red came on Luna's face though Rikka wouldn't be able to see it.

Rikka smiled innocently, "My apologies, I meant no harm with my comment~" She giggled, but she perked when Clive acknowledged her magic. "Ah yes... It was the last thing my Mother left behind for me." she closed her eyes, "Now what used to be her responsibility, is now mine. Although Its impossible for me to ever reach her level, she was a pure-blooded magician of great feats in our community; I'm only a Half-Blood born of her, so there's only so much I'm magically capable of." She confessed her views to them, she grew a bit solemn afterwards she turned a bit for inside. "Um, if you have time, it would be nice if you two could come in for a bit. I don't live in the company of others, so it gets rather lonely here." She glanced at them with a bittersweet smile, "Do you two enjoy tea?"

"I'm sorry to hear about your mother," Clive said tipping his top hat, "she was a great magician," as he smiled a bit at her comment about not being able to reach her mother's strength, "don't diminish that potential Rikka. I've known half-bloods who were able to accomplish more then any pure-blood can ever do, just because you've only got half the strength of a pure blood doesn't mean that you can't be as good, if not better, then any pure bloods. Just keep on practicing and learning about magic and in time that magic will grow in you."
"Yes please, tea's my favourite," Clive said.

Rikka couldn't help but get a bit flustered at his words, she merely turned her back to them as she shifted shyly. "Y-yes, you're quite right, at least I think so." She then made a giggle, "You never change, Clivey." She made a sigh of relief before going inside, "Please do make yourselves at home, I'll get right on that tea!" She seemed to grow a bit chipper as she let them in.

Clive smiled, "Thank you," he said as he and Luna entered her home, "lovely home you have Rikka, did you pay for this or did your dad help you out?"

"My Dad paid for a bit of it, but the rest of it was paid off by my hard-earned money from my job." She spoke from inside the kitchen as she proceeded to prepare the best kind of tea she had 'in stock'.
