[color=#E34234][b]Takumi Minamoto - Touchy Nature[/b][/color] [i]3rd Ward, Sakura Clinic, Fourth Floor[/i] [hr] [color=#E34234]"Good to hear I'm not being a burden to you just yet, then,"[/color] Takumi puffed out his chest with overstated pride. [color=#E34234]"Or maybe that just means my lifestory's not that boring, heh,"[/color] he added rhetorically, going back to his more subdued energy. This carefree atmosphere surrounding him didn't last too long however, and it quickly dissipated at the mention of Itsuki's whereabouts and his current activities. [color=#E34234]"What?"[/color] he asked, though the way he said it indicated that it wasn't really a question. [color=#E34234]"So he's getting into fights again..."[/color] he grit his teeth in a forced kind of grin. It appeared he was only barely addressing Rin, [color=#E34234]"...Man, that guy..."[/color] And that was when the two naked children ran across his field of view, interrupting Takumi's moment of despondency. He opened his mouth to comment on the unusual situation, before slowly closing it into a hard line. [color=#E34234][i]'Should I... Should I be doing something about that?'[/i][/color] he wondered with brow furrowed. Before he could act on any of his parental impulses however, Rin got him on the ground and wrapped her body around his face. All in all, a rather compromising position? At any rate, it looked like his siblings were a lot clingier as a whole than he had remembered; this was what, the second time tonight his body had been subject to the hugging of women? Well on the brightside, at least it was warm... Or maybe that was just his face, but as far as emotions went, he was really more befuddled than embarrassed. It was then he heard a third set of wet footsteps coming from a bigger person rapidly crossing distance. He heard the footsteps stopping, he heard the water dripping, and he heard Hana making a remark about his apparent womanizing ways. Takumi wanted to defend his position, but he knew that opening his mouth would just get him a mouth full of Rin's clothes and/or flesh. His eyes were covered, so he didn't really know what was touching what at this point, nor did he want to test his luck in that regard. There was one question he was dying to have answered, however: [color=#E34234][i]'What the hell is a 'casanova'?'[/i][/color] There was a short pause before he heard Hana issue a command to forget what they had seen. Considering he couldn't do much of anything, that was a rather easily completed task for Takumi. Granted, he could make a reasonably accurate guess as to what it was he didn't see, but he'd follow Hana's instructions. And knowing Takumi, this was the expected course of action. He tried shifting his head to the side to clear enough space for him to answer. [color=#E34234]"Affirmative, ma'am,"[/color] came his muffled answer, followed by a restrained thumbs up just in case his answer wasn't properly conveyed. Rin was still clinging to his face like a certain extraterrestrial lifeform from a popular horror movie, and it was only after he heard the three sets of feet stop their plodding into the bathroom, did Rin detach herself from his head. Takumi fixed his newly-messed hair and flattened out the wrinkles on his shirt. While doing so, he glanced up and saw the white-haired youngster from before, looking a lot like he was about to die of embarrassment. The elder male snorted and smiled; what an unlucky kid, walking in on that kind of thing. Shortly afterwards, the other boy - the one the silver-haired one had been fighting earlier - emerged and also made a quip about he and Rin doing lewd things. Takumi looked at Rin, then to the children. He wasn't sure how comfortable he felt about that insinuation, so he decided to just focus on watching Takeshi sheepishly ramble on, instead of trying to deny this claim and escalate the situation. Suddenly, the smell of corpse met his nose, followed by the clarion call of the de-facto mother figure issued from the elevator. He recalled the last time he'd eaten - a few days ago - but judged it as adequate sustenance for the time being. That said, he wasn't entirely comfortable not knowing where this corpse came from. A dead guy from wherever is fine, but this kill seemed fresh and he couldn't confirm whether he was killed for the sake of food or for some other reasons. Bullet holes made him think not hunt-related considering the low-availability of guns in Japan and the rarity of a gun-toting ghoul, but you never know... [color=#E34234]"I'll sit this one out,"[/color] Takumi held his wrist, [color=#E34234]"I... ate pretty recently, and the kids must be hungry so... Yeah."[/color]
