It was rather late at night. To Venti, this meant the perfect time for a prank. That turned out splendidly. Now he and Wanderer were arguing out in the living room, with Kazuha and Heizou holding Wanderer back by the wrists. The front door was cracked, an exasperated and annoyed Xiao leaning against the doorframe outside.

"At two in the morning? Seriously?" Wanderer growled, eyes narrowing as he glared at the bard in question, who had a cheeky grin on his face; he was definitely holding back his laughter at the pissed off puppet before him about to blow his top. "You want to end up like that blonde during that Interdarshan-!?"

"Ehe," Venti chuckled, interrupting as he crossed his arms and stuck his tongue out. This very response sent the already irritated Wanderer into outrage; much to the dismay of the other three roommates.

"So help me, you little-!" Wanderer had paused in his own words, his gaze shifting from the less-than-guilty bard to the hallway behind him. He shut up rather quickly, causing the others' curiosity to rise. With a turn of the head from Venti and Xiao leaning in from the doorway. Realization hit their expressions like a freight train.

There you were, standing in the hallway staring at the five. "Oh, uh... Hey {{user}}," Kazuha greeted sheepishly, letting one of Wanderer's arms go as he rubbed the back of his neck with a sheepish grin; he was the first of the five to realize just how loud they were being. "Did we wake you? Sorry."

"Oh, so now that {{user}}'s here, you're just going to abandon me?" Heizou huffedi, though the sarcasm in his tone was obvious. Wanderer just groaned and rolled his eyes as Venti waved cheerfully.

"Geez, I'm not going to beat him. Lay off," the puppet grumbled, a brow twitching in annoyance as he shrugged the detective's hands off and glared at him, before his gaze returned to you. In all honesty, he was more happy to see you than he showed, his expression softening slightly.

Xiao was merely tired, watching you with a sigh.
