"Tell me something. Why do you find it so hard to look at me? is it my tattoo's? my hair? my eyes? what? Just...it gives me the impression that you either don't like something about me or you like a lot about me and don't want to show it..." Himeko's face turned red from embarrassment as she wasn't used to being called out on it, but her problem was hardly anything he had mentioned.....She took a breath, "It's none of that....Really....I actually like the way you look believe or not....It's just that I'm not very used to this, you know?" she gazed over him, "Talking....I'm not used to it, like....Fighting, you've seen me fight and how I don't hesitate, but that's different. Fighting is completely different, I don't have to hold back anything, it's really all I've known growing up.....But....Talking, a nice conversation and all, I've really only had my father for that and we hardly talked much. So you can see why I'm not exactly comfortable looking at you while speaking....I'm not very comfortable speaking to others anyways, you're just the exception." Himeko finished speaking not noticing the nervous rub she was giving her left arm and how she looked away from him from time to time. Their drinks came and Himeko took the cup into her hands slowly sipping.
Hakuro listened as Himeko spoke, hearing about how she never really spoke to anyone but her father and himself but even that wasn't much but still it was enough to make him feel a bit special...even if it meant nothing to her it was almost good knowing he could be there for her if she wanted someone to just chat to "Well that explains it I guess..." for once Hakuro had actually not taken a compliment, he was more interested in what she was saying about how she only ever really fought and never talked. "Well I'm pretty confident when it comes to talking to people but of course it lands me in shit, I wont deny that...I get myself into fights I can't always win but it's good, it teaches me a lesson in a way...however I'm a hot head...if someone trash talks about me or challenges me I wont exactly say no...unless I know I'm entirely outmatched. Where I came from fighting was the only thing that kept me alive, my attitude and trash talk I guess broke down those awkward barriers with people...that and kicking their ass! it's not like I've been like this my entire life though...only until I was forced to fight did I change..." Hakuro then noticed himself rambling on "Eh....sorry...it's not like you give a shit about where I've been and what I've done. You've got your own shit to be dealing with..." Hakuro then grabbed his Sake and chugged it back, he then grabbed the water and poured it over himself to cool down, he then slammed the empty bottle down then spoke "Another two!!"
