"Yeah, yeah." 

Itsuki was unfazed by Hana's comment on him and Asoka's lack of desire to care for the brats, though her following whisper did draw a slight look, though he chose not to say anything, though he did look a bit annoyed at her poking him in the nose, he wrinkled it a bit before readjusting his coverings a bit. As Hana went on top give a spiel about her plans for the kids, he kind of spaced out, lacking interest in what she had planned, only to have his eyes lock on to hers as she expressed her desire to keep him there to enact more treatments on him, something he found unnecessary and bothersome.

He was about to give Hana a piece of his mind on the topic when Takumi chose to comment on Itsuki's desire to meet someone, unintentionally hitting a bullseye, though not in the way he thought. The dark haired ghoul immediately froze for a second, his eyes seeming to fade out as he remember his lover, his teeth gritting together before he let out a sigh, feeling the usual depression falling over him that always came when he thought back to those times. He looked from Takumi to Hana to Rin, who seemed to be red in the face for some reason, before he decided to speak.

"Thanks for the clothes Takumi, and black will be fine. Perfect, even, given that I'm visiting a graveyard." Itsuki spoke in a low tone, the depression not really showing through as he tried to act nonchalant about it, though whether he was successful about it or not, he wasn't too sure. He turned to Rin, giving her a slight grin, empty and lacking in real emotion, in response to her request. "I'm sorry, I doubt there's much you can help with in this regard. If you really wanted to, you could come with. It might do to have someone watching over me, so that Hana doesn't throw a fit over just cause I got a few scratches." Itsuki pounded on his chest to show that he was just fine, and he suceeded in not wincing as the pain hit him. He wasn't hurt bad enough that he couldn't fight if need be, but he wouldn't be able to fight at his best, less he reopen the wounds. Still, he'd be damned if he was going to stay here a second long. He'd been putting this off long enough, and he knew he'd likely lose his nerves again if he didn't do this now.

"Is that good enough for you, Hana? I know you have my best interest at heart, but this . . . it's something I need to do, okay?" Itsuki's voice caught in his throat a little as he took another breath, a memory flashing in his mind at the time that almost brought him to tears, but he continued on, refusing to let himself breakdown here. "I'll let you give a check-up when I comeback, alright?"
