Suzu's little return of compliment made Asoka grin in joy, she did enjoy the occasional compliment after all. Though the difference between a compliment and an ego stroke were quite clear when the eldest of the four showed up in his turn, opening with Asoka's resume. A weak chuckle escaped her being as she turned to face a frame she'd recognize despite the effects of time.
'
Oh yeah baby, work the shaft.'
She withheld such a response however, Asoka of all people knew how important the first impression was, even if she knew them beforehand. Messing around to show off a bit of her nature was one thing, abusing and being downright dirty was another. Luckily, Suzu had the right idea of focusing her attention on Itsuki. Asoka didn't mind, though she'd let go a lot slower of the younger ghoul's waist than the latter did. Her mood would shift when Suzu leaked her eyes out at the presence of Itsuki, prompting Asoka's left eyebrow to arc.
'
Wow, really? Sob story already guys? Give me a break.'
Her distaste for the moment was well concealed however as her expression displayed more of a charmed yet surprised look than a discontent one. Asoka clearly felt a form of disgust, believing that such baby-like behavior was so surreal and almost ridiculous for survivors like them to express. But she was lying to herself, most likely, and felt a hint of jealousy for not having the same relevance. No matter, it wasn't like they were anything special in the end. She winked at her tall sibling as the final one made his entrance. Now genuine surprise struck the female ghoul, because Kasachi was quite the opposite of Itsuki in terms of growth. Now Asoka's size was never truly a problem to her, it got some rather disconcerting perverts on her side after all, but a short guy was always quite a sight to see.
"
Kasachi, you look ... Dandy."
'
Shorty.'
She snickered, pushing the otherwise serious man's buttons before everyone froze because of some random noise. Placing her hands on her hips, Asoka wondered if they weren't indeed having unwelcome visitors to their buffet lacking get together. Then again, perhaps this little event would remedy this event of such a lack.
"
Heehee, you didn't tell us you prepared a whole party for us, Suzu~"
And with that said, a couple of kids went nanners on the adults. Asoka was unimpressed, of course, as undisciplined ghouls were the daily grind for her. They were kids to top it all off, and they faced off against four adult ghoul survivors. Clearly there was nothing to fear. While the three others were busy 'defending' themselves against the young assailants, Asoka dusted off the living room's couch that had been moved and probably used as bed for many homeless and sat comfortably on it. Leg over the other, she watched the events unfold until her oldest 'brother' had a steel cord snap in his head.
What they did and who they were fighting off barely interested the little ghoul when she noticed just what made this whole trip worth it. While the males she had clear memories of being fighters, she never recalled Suzu being like this. Let alone that weird Kakugan. Itsuki however, she remembered him being weird, and those messed up eyes of his refreshed her memories very well. Finally, Kasachi, his eyes were boring but sprout out of his back was a ridiculously rare thing to see. At last, Asoka knew why she'd have to care for them more than the rest.
"
Heh, you guys are such pushovers. C'mon, they're kids. And they look like hobos. And they look sooooo cute with their heads sticking out like wack-a-moles!"
Before the moment was broken and they'd emerge from their hiding spot, Asoka took a quick picture with her phone of the kiddies struck with fear of the adults in the room. She didn't stop there and took a quick snap of each of her siblings while they were in their overly serious Ghoul paradigm. At least now she wouldn't forget what they'd look like if they were to vanish again. She stood up and walked closer to have a better glimpse of the kiddies, smacking Itsuki on his posterior like she was the boss.
"
Loosen up boyo, you're even making me feel nervous. Listen to your midget brother! He seems to be the voice of reason today."
With that small jab against Kasachi, she stuck her tongue out at the more reasonable male of the gang, exposing her black tongue piercing. She thought it looked hot, and nothing was permanent on a ghoul so it was really a whatever choice. Asoka then bent over forward, one hand on her hip and the other reaching out for Mii's face. Swiftly she nabbed the little girl's cheek and pulled on it.
"
So, whatcha doing in this rat hole? Hope you didn't break anything of value, otherwise ... I'd have to wack you like the little moles you are~"
She messed with the kid, though the strong grip she had on the cheek displaying the difference of power between the kids and the shortest female of the gang. Ironically, she'd be the most physically apt of the gang and Asoka was confident she could handle these kiddies if they were to get a little too agitated. They were likely no different from the shits she'd recruit in the streets with absolutely no education.
