Sides dont matter here: its a open room.

Neon smiles at Mai and waves, still cuddling as best as he can with one hand and with Theo struggling the way he is.

"Hi~ Nice to meet you, dearie~"

Mai waved happily putting away her gun "Nice to meet you dear~ always nice to meet a friend of dear Rose."

Theo didn't want to hurt Neon... so he tried to loosen his grip by tickling his nose with his tail.

Lame i know >_>

Oh no.... not the dear thing....
She tried to hold back her anger but then remembered that Mai was a dear friend of hers, she didn't know if she knew about the dear or sweetie incident a while back but she wasn't going to let her anger get the best of her now.
"Uhhh..." She said, clearing her throat. "Can you not... call me dear???" She asked, trying to be nice about it.

"Yes~ A friend of dearest Rose~! Oh. Wait. I'm not allowed to say that, am I."

He turns to Rose and smiles apologetically, batting away the tail in his face. It was either that or bite it. "SORRY, DEAR~ Oh. I mean. Rose."

She put her hand on her face and then let out a growl mixed with a sigh.
"Really now... I thought we went through this, Neon..."

"oh yes...i dont remember that, but i do remeber the DARLING incident!" Mai motioned her hand towards Neon "i mean, Darling sounds so much nicer on her, right?

She closed her eyes and jumped on her feet in a second, her glare reaching Mai now.
"It's Rose, get it right, hun. NEVER call me dear. and I mean never."

"Dearest, darling Rose, how we love you so~!"

She slapped her forehead against her hand so hard that the slap rang through the skies for at least 2 seconds.

Last resort....

Theo bites Neon's arm, hoping he would release his grip.

"...You bit me."

But he lets go. And he pouts.

"You break my heart. Well, it was already broken, but whatever. You still broke it."

Mai gasped "Theo dear, dont do that to my new friend."
Turning to Neon she smiled "you have my heart in your hand sweetie."

"Oh, but I'd advise you not do that," He grins at Mai, showing sharp canines. "I eat hearts for dessert~"

But she's welcome to risk it.

Theo sat in front of him, naive as ever. His ears and tail drooped again as he looked down at the floor.

"S-sorry..."

"I forgive you, Theo-dear~ See!" He shows the bite mark, or what was supposed to be the bite mark but has now healed. "It's better already~"

She goes and walks over to Theo with a sigh. Sitting down next to him she smiles.
"Annoying bunch, aren't they?"

Theo's ears pricked up again. His tail wagged again, smiling at everyone.

"He's adorable, isn't he." Neon smiles, patting Theo's head. "We're all annoying at one point or another."

She smiles and then lets out a breath of air. "Theo is adorable." She let the words fall out of her mouth. "Cuter then you, Neon." She said with a chuckle.

"well, he is cute." Mai smiled and sat next to Neon, the person closest to her "and you call me annoying all the time Rose, im used to it."

"Oh?" He smiles and leans closer to Rose, grinning. "Is that really what you think?"

Theo plants himself next to mai, licking her hand.

She smirked. "Get any closer and I can kill you here and now..." Her voice was so playful.

"I'd like to see you try, sweetheart~" His tone is also playful, and he leans even closer as though testing her words.
