Tatsuki wakes with a huge yawn, stretching out comfortably on the futon with cat like grace. [i]'Well, that soak last night was exactly what I needed it to do. I hope Shigetoshi-kun was not too spooked by me vanishing like that'[/i] He sends out his senses as he stands and begins getting ready for the day. He pauses however, confused and a little alarmed when his energy brushes across the young innkeeper. Turning he looks in Shigetoshi's direction, his brows furrowed. [i]'He seems tired, and a bit. . . Frustrated? Is he upset about last night? He seemed quite happy before I left. . .'[/i] Still very confused he finishes dressing.

As he leaves his room he determines that he needs to talk to the young man and find out if he did something wrong. The girls accost him in the hallway, delaying him until he mentions it's time for breakfast. They both smile and giggle, asking if he'll sit with them, and he politely declines. He really hopes if he can't speak with Shigetoshi during breakfast he’ll at least be able to slip out early and catch him alone after breakfast. As they walk down the hall to the dinning area he has to deflect several more offers until at last they make it to the room and he's able to slip off to a corner table. The girls wander over to sit with their sister and her husband, the sister shaking a finger at them for once more clinging to poor Tatsuki.

Tatsuki has a few minutes to pull himself together after that, and he takes the time to once more go over what had happened the night before. While he really wants to interact with Shigetoshi like a normal human would, he can not help but feel the strong urge to just look inside the young man and pull out the answers to his questions. At this point, it's second nature to the shinigami, and not doing it is not only difficult, but it feels weird. However when at last Shigetoshi shows up and begins serving the meal he sighs softly and just watches him work. When the young man comes to set down Tatsuki's meal he gives him a warm smile and murmurs a thanks. Before he can walk away however Tatsuki speaks up. “I would be honored if you would join me for breakfast, if you have the time of course. I know how busy this job can keep you. . .” There is nothing in his voice save for a touch of sympathy, not wanting to sound as if he's forcing the male to dine with him to keep his guest happy.
