[hr]

Hana's lips twitched as she incorporated herself, and in a half passing semblance of seriousness, crossed her arms across her chest, briefly nodding to Itsuki's words. Pondering, she kept her eyes half closed as she interiorized the ghoul's words. [color=CD853F]"Mmmyeah, I see. Hana-chan understands." [/color]She curtly nodded to Itsuki, although for all the wrong reasons.

[color=CD853F][i]Dear lord, Itsuki, you can't be serious, can you? Safe with you? More like, they would be safer AWAY from you.[/i][/color] She gave the ghoul a look up and down, lingering for a moment in his gait and expression. [color=CD853F][i]Thousand year stare...huh. Ye gods, Ikki, you look like a wreck. A Post-traumatic stress disorder wreck. You're a danger even to yourself, that much I can tell now.[/i][/color] Her sight didn't dwell too much in the fact, nor in talking about the rather worrysome symptoms of the fellow ghoul. After all, Ikki had always been one of the big ghouls, and an unabashed optimistic at that. He would deflect all of her warnings with probably one of his stupid smiles and ignore her regardless.

Kachi...well, she also turned her attention to the shorter, but better equipped ghoul. [color=CD853F][i]Because why not? Kachi, they're fellow Ghouls. Why are you killing other ghouls? Ugh... I know our kin is more aggressive than usual, and we have a tendence to kill eachother, but to hunt other ghouls because of a whim? The old man would be rolling all over his grave if he found out, you battle-addicted psycho.[/i][/color] She swallowed it all inside, preferring not to lash out for similar reasons. It was the first time she had seen him for 8 years. There would be better opportunities to sort things right. Still, Hana couldn't contain all of her rage, and she somehow ended biting her lip and balling her fists upon hearing Kachi's bloodlust comment.

But hey, at least he had the common sense to notice how much of a Dove magnet the whole thing seemed to be shaping... and he noticed that maybe, just maybe Hana could have a good shot at childkeeping.[color=CD853F][i]I didn't twiddle my thumbs when we were kids, precisely, I still know how to care for brats.[/i][/color] Maybe he wasn't hopeless. 

Her sight finally rested on Asoka. Probably the only one who was trying to be an adult despite her earlier short-temper display. She looked genuinely tired of all of this discussion, and much like Hana, decided to play along with the boisterous male duo. She had a graceful, delicate air, and Hana couldn't help but dream a bit on how would it be to bring her to a bathhouse to wash eachother... as adults this time. Still, the prompt made her to jolt slightly, putting a wide grin.

[color=CD853F]"Leave it to Hana-chan, A-chan! Hana-chan is actually a full fledged medic and has a clinic, so she knows what she does! Most of the time...But anyway, anyway! I have place enough there to fit five more ghoulies! It'll be tricky since it's in the 3rd ward, Minato, but I'll make do with scavenging the things I can't hunt! Speaking of which..."[/color] Hana interrupted her speech as she dug into her tracksuit pockets, producing a small envelope with some brown-ish jerky cuts of a mysterious meat.

She paced slowly as she knelt where the kids were, offering the package. [color=CD853F]"Poor kids, you must be hungry. I know it's just a light snack, but you can have it for now. They're Hana-chan's special human pork rinds. I made them by myself!"[/color] She added with a slight wink.

"FOOD!" All the kids said in unison, choking any other kind for answer, as they happily opened the bag and devoured its contents. Hana smiled in a motherly way, just like old times. 8 years had passed by, and the other three bore heavy scars and egos, but Hana still acted like the same Hana of old.

[color=CD853F]"Did the big ghouls scare you? Don't worry. I can knock them into reason. But you've got to hear what I have to say, and follow my guidance, understand? I have been an orphan too, and I know how hard it is. Just wait a little longer, sweeties."[/color] Hana coyly talked, like a mother kitten, as she looked in each one of the orphan's eyes, before stretching her arms wide, trying to round them up in a hug.

The food and the hug seemed to catch them all off guard, which made them to stare wide eyed, but pretty much receptive to what Hana said.

[color=gray][b]"...thankyou..."[/b][/color] The eldest of the kids, Kazuya, was the only one who pretty much broke the silence, but still unsure.

[color=CD853F]"...Yes...Hana-chan is pretty weird, A-chan. That is because Hana-chan dislikes violence, and loves books. And because Hana-chan understood that joining with old acquaintances in this world should be joy and laughter... not...violence."[/color] She seemed to linger for a bit, before standing straight once more. She pondered their fates, and how the other ghouls were approaching the situation.

[color=CD853F][i]Oh what the hell, I'll just show a smidge of what's beneath the mask of merry Hana-chan for the sake of the lil' ones.[/i][/color]

[color=CD853F]"A-chan... I just don't get one thing."[/color] Hana pondered, finger in her own chin.[color=CD853F]"Wouldn't clearing a warehouse full of ghouls not only draw the attention of [i]more[/i] Ghouls, the CCG, and at the same time weakening the ward's ability to resist the Doves somewhat? [i]Ghouls can't afford to call reinforcements unlike Doves[/i]. Not to mention that two S and SS ranked kakuja who we know would suddenly get a bigger [i]target[/i] on their back? It will be even worse if Mistress Mercury is involved, even. All with the thinly veiled excuse of saving kids."[/color]

She blinked as conclusion, and offered a beaming smile. [color=CD853F]"Teeheehe...nevermind, Hana chan is a bit weird and silly, and she may be overthinking things."[/color] She finished waggling her finger menacingly before touching Asoka's nose. [color=CD853F]"Boop."[/color]
