[color=#E34234]"Ouch, you guys are [i]brutal[/i],"[/color] Takumi sighed, rubbing his slightly stinging stomach as he gauged the reactions of everyone in the room to his masterful comedy. There wasn't even a single suppressed smile in the crowd - not even from the white-haired prepubescent! How utterly disheartening. [color=#E34234][i]'It was perfect timing too! Hands, [/i]handy[i]. It doesn't get much better than that!'[/i][/color] Nevertheless, the half-ghoul resolved to maintain composure in front of the newcomer. Say what you will about his ability to conceal his emotions, but his ability to at least seem kind of professional was quite adept. Granted, projecting such an air and maintaining one were two very different things; case in point, his "professional cool dude" image was immediately broken by literally everything Asoka did and said in that few second span. 

[color=#E34234]"...Erm...Letting you in? From my understanding high-school biology, it should be the other way around, right?"[/color] Takumi tilted his head as he intoned his lewdly innocent inquiry, his voice faltering as his sense of dread increased with each step Asoka took towards the newcomer. He could understand why she was doing it - the newcomer's everything was really, really weird - but such an overt display of aggression was no way to greet a guest. He was confident he could deal with any trouble that could arise as consequence, but he'd much rather prefer to avoid that sort of offense to his sensibilities in the first place. Of course, he didn't really banked on the best of anything, so his reaction to what happened next was surmisable as 'disappointed but not unexpected'.

Takumi puffed out his cheeks and exhaled, deciding that he'd seen too many kagune in one day. Based on the appearance of the ukaku sprouting from her back, she was looking to recover from an earlier conflict and- [color=#E34234][i]'Nice, nice. RC cells on the carpet.'[/i][/color] The newcomer ghoul's wings seemed to drip with liquid every now and then, making hell for whoever would be cleaning. And if last night was any indicator, that would probably be himself and one of the kids. 

At any rate, Takumi was sure Hana could recognize the problem here - the clipped wings that is, not the carpet (even if that was a problem in and of itself) - but he decided to give his two cents on the issue. [color=#E34234]"Not straight, not swiss cheese,"[/color] he said, giving his elder sister a little nudge for attention, [color=#E34234]"I'm gonna go ahead and say it's probably not quinque."[/color] As for the face beneath the mask, it wasn't really anyone he knew - though the stoicism kind of reminder him of Rin. Her agape mouth and that drying drool was a bit upsetting; so being the good, reasonable host he was, Takumi figured they'd ought to remedy that. [color=#E34234]"By the way, there still leftovers of last night's dead guy?"[/color] he asked Hana, his implication being rather obvious. He turned his attention back to the girls...

...and began walking forward. The longer he looked at the scene, the more anathema it became to him; he was going to do something about it. [color=#E34234]"Oi, Asoka. Back off. Hospitality is sacred you know,"[/color] Takumi scolded with arms crossed, having at this point made his way over to where the trouble had erupted. Honestly, and she had been the one calling [i]him[/i] a degenerate? Perhaps his actions might be seen as overreaction, but he was a traveler; mutualism between host and guest was [i]very[/i] important to him. [color=#E34234]"And you, newcomer. I apologize for her rash actions, but I'd like you to put that away,"[/color] he gestured to her wings, [color=#E34234]"Nobody's going to be hurting you, so long as you conduct yourself properly."[/color] He then cast his enforcer's gaze on Asoka, [color=#E34234]"[i]Right[/i]?"[/color] His demeanor suggested that wasn't a question.

Of course, now that Takumi was up close, the distinct smell of human would be wafting into the two belligerents' noses in 3... 2....
