He pulled his hand back when it seemed Itsuki had come to his senses and held his hands up in a gesture for peace. When it didn’t seem like his elder held anything over Kasachi’s interruption he exhaled softly in relief. That turned into a heavy sigh as he turned around to look at Asoka with a cocked eyebrow. He couldn’t exactly argue with the hard facts that the second youngest laid out, as harsh as they were. Though he could have pointed out that her and Isori couldn’t have been any older, and were probably younger than most of the brats when the four of them had gone their separate ways.
The dubious expression remained as he watched Asoka literally switch on a dime as the twins rolled to a halt nearby and caught her attention. The callous edge in her tone might have disappeared as she addressed them, but it was still a bit off putting how she spoke to them. As if to emphasize his expression Kasachi cocked his head at the exchange between his two siblings… A glance at the brats showed that they were either confused or didn’t care about the byplay, which was for the better really.
“It’s probably Corniculum,” he pointed out for Asoka as he rolled his neck and hummed happily when it cracked. As it stood, if Kazuya didn’t want their help then Kasachi wasn’t about to try and drag the five with him even if it was for their own sakes. A hand ran through his hair, and he sighed sharply at Mii’s muffled sobs. If the old man was alive he would definitely have Kachi’s hide if he simply walked away and abandoned the five to their fates. He could watch over them from the shadows like some guardian angel, though that was painting far too pleasant a picture, and wouldn’t last long. Once the CCG realized that the five were apparently of importance to Wraith, they would come down hard.
“Please don’t try converting any of them to Asokaism, especially not while they’re still so young,” he remarked as his body tensed. The dual Kagunes receded inside with a few shudders on his part and he relaxed again afterwards as he looked between each of the brats.
“Lil Asoka wasn’t wrong though. Even if the Doves miss ya in the following weeks, there’s still plenty of ways you might go within the year.” He didn’t- actually scratch that, scared is exactly what he wanted the brats to be. Scared people, humans or Ghouls, tended to live a lot longer especially if they managed to take control of their fear.
