Exhausted.

"I-I'm back…"

As soon as she announced her return, Ichigo was stunned by the silence that suddenly took over the living room following every pair of eyes turning in her direction. For a moment she considered escaping, but before she could her arms were grabbed and she was dragged to the sofa, forced to sit at the center as questions began falling on her one after the other.

The Valkyries were eager to know the details of their friend's first night shift, and though it was quite embarrassing, Ichigo did her best to answer, a bashful smile on her lips the whole time.

The living room was filled with delighted squeals as the Valkyries continued to probe for details, however not all of them were in a good mood. Sitting at the table near one of the corners, Miku listened to the conversations with her back turned to the others. Her brows would twitch every now and then, but she didn't her best to hide her anger not wanting to spoil the mood.
