[Mion appears looking rather annoyed/confused/what-have-you, with her hands on her hips.]

Ne, who's in charge of this place? I have a question for them.

[Milo appears on the Astral Plane wearing the bottom half of his cloth. Like so but uh hotter. His expression is relaxed unlike the last time he made himself known and he almost seems content, if a bit tired.]

Quite a feat to repair my temple in such a short time, even for me. But it is done.

...with the help of the kitten of course. Seems we won't be fighting each other any time soon.

[His mind is clearer and more open than usual today. In his head he's thinking,] If I could simply enjoy this peace given without holding back... [Aaand his mental guard goes back up.]

[He lies on his back on the "ground" of the Astral Plane.]

Tell me, anyone know where the Northern Cross is?

[Misaki Kirihara appears on the plane looking very, very pissed. Her Sig P230 is unholstered and leveled at…

…no one.]

Tch.

[She lowers the weapon, very slightly, taking in her surroundings. Or rather, the lack thereof.]

Contractor!

[She turns in a slow circle, tension wrapped around her like a creaking spring.]

Contractor! Show yourself. You’re being stupid. Using your power on a member of the NPA will get you killed. It isn’t worth the laugh.

[A pause. She’s starting to get angry again.]

Show yourself!

[She looks up, down, around at the stars, and a pained expression crosses her face. Barely audible, she mutters,]

You people… know how to be cruel.
