[center][h1]Itsuki[/h1][/center] [hr] Itsuki eyes flicked towards, Asoka, then Kachi, before letting his Kagune disperse with a slight sigh. He payed little attention to what happened afterwards, only concerned with one thing at that moment now that he had confirmed that there was no actual threat. "Kachi, be wary, seems like Asoka means to sexually assail the all of us before the night is out. And I won't argue that what I did might be overreactive considering the assailants, but I've learned the hard way not to underestimate someone just because of their age." Itsuki, backed away before Kachi could proceed to push him, putting his back against the wall, watching and listening to the kids as they spoke, learning a couple things himself as well. But as everyone spoke, his gaze drifed over to his youngest sibling, or more to the point, the kagune that she shouldn't have. He'd heard lots of stories of half-ghouls, but none of them had been happy ones, especially those of humans being made into ghouls by some sick scientist's experiments. His fingers curled into fists as he began to feel a familiar surge of anger flow through him, but he quickly let it dissipate as he knew that getting pissed at shadows wouldn't solve anything, and going after whoever did this wouldn't stop whatever had happened. Turning his attention to the small group that had made themselves known, he decided to wait rather than add in his own two cents to the issue. Instead, he studied the children, the dynamics among them, the weak links, and the pressure points that could be pressed to break their spirits. the girl and the older boys seemed to be the more capable of the 5, though that wasn't by much, and the twins were either smart or stupid for asking for forgiveness the way they did. Probably stupidly naive, but trying to calm the situation down, even in such a childish fashion, might've given them some pity in the eyes of a ghoul. A Dove would've killed them all outright, though, no doubt about that. They were all young, and obviously not related, but had come together out of necessity like many orphaned ghouls. How ironic that they come here for safety and a place to live. "A group of orphans, living in the ruins of an old mansion that just so happened to be the place where we were gathered so many years ago in much the same way. It's quite the poetic coincidence, I must say, that they come to live here at the moment of our impromptu reunion. And I do have to agree with Kachi on this one, kids, if things are as bad as he says, than you're probably going to die if you stay here." [i]So much for waiting, though I never have been the type to sit still and wait for my turn to speak. Always having to speak, always need to break the silence, even if that means conversing with myself.[/i]
