Rika beamed a big smile at Zephel confirming they'll make the perfect tea buns. Rika follows along with Zeph's pace and directions, pouring small cups of tea for both of them then trying her cup with a bite of the prepared bun Zephel handed her. Rika seemed to relax a bit into the conversation, seeming a little less hyper though still smiling constantly through their discussions, only occasionally getting an extra jolt of excitement at certain points in their discussion.
"Hm?" Rika uttered as Zephel suddenly told hre to be careful with a protective arm in front of her. She followed his eyes up to the bird flying around the kitchen now. "Oh! A birdy! How pretty!" She said in an excited tone, not immediately realizing this is a weird place to see a bird.
When the bird flew down to peck at the dough, Rika's expression became a little concerned. "Oh birdy, I don't know if that's safe to eat. She said, concerned more for the bird's well-being than the food. She'd have been tempted to move towards the bird and try to pick it up or gently nudge it away if not for Zephel's arm in front of her. Sure, she could move around it if she really wanted, but she kind of liked that Zephel was trying to protect her, even if she thought a pretty little birdy couldn't possibly be dangerous to her.
When Zephel moved away to confront the person who came in claiming to own the bird, Rika took that moment to step forward and try to reach a hand out towards the bird with a smile on her face to gently pet it.

“Angelise” gave Milo the okay to nuzzle Rika’s cheek and say hello while she spoke to Zeph about the circumstances that she was facing. The angel started from the beginning but of course she apologized once again for the little fiasco that Milo had caused. She then proceeded to tell Zeph that her father was now in the domain and was searching for her. Not to reunite with her as his daughter but to kill her. “Honestly, this has been a crazy obsession of his from the minute I was born. I KNOW I have to stand up to him sooner than later, and that’s exactly what I will do, but I need time to prepare first. And he’s misunderstood my powers this whole time too. I only have defensive and healing abilities. Unless he wants me to give into despair, let my emotions consume me and then I turn into a dark fallen angel or something.” The angel then gently got Milo and took a breath.
There was only one way Zeph could help her and that was by not telling anyone if he’s seen her or heard from her. At least for the time being. Her brothers weren’t around at the moment to help her- she was 100 percent alone. And vulnerable. She had to just hold out until they returned, and as fate would have it “Angelise” wouldn’t be alone much longer. The wheels of fate were turning and it was leading her back to the boy who was now all grown up and that young man will be a part of her life going forward.
She then thanked Zeph for listening to her, asked him to please keep her true identity a secret, used her angelic ability to fix the dough that was ruined, and then excused herself to go buy a few treats to not only make up for the fiasco her dove caused, but also for the children she took care of at the hospital. She also had to head to the hospital to pick up medical files because there were a few cases of abuse that the bounty hunters needed to take a look at since the police were not doing much about the situation.
She should be at HQ by the end of the day.
“Angelise” then stepped outside the cafe and that’s when it hit her. The fog of her amnesia started to lift more and like fuzzy images on an old television screen more memories came back to her.
His face. Not his name. But his face. Zero’s face.
“Oh my god.”
That’s when she cried. She had been on her own for so many years. Had to grow up very quickly. People just left her life one after the other, and this little boy that she knew, was one of the reasons she had learned to fly. If she bumped into this young man too soon, then she couldn’t allow him to see her face- not unless she was in her country of residence of Sougen as that is where she didn’t wear her angel cloak. If she met him in passing, say in a different country then she would have to keep turning her body away from him if they were in the same place that wasn’t Sougen.

”Come on Milo. Let’s go.”
[That’s the end of “Angelise’s” appearance for this thread!}
