Tetsuya was trying to be polite as could be with Yuudai, not wanting to outright tell her off. When he was lifted up like a sack of grain however that was as much as he could take, squirming fitfully before giving her a small smack in the face with his tail, relieved to finally be put down. Blushing indignantly the Neko fixed his robe, tugging the drawstring tighter around himself and folding his arms in a childish manner. If they were back home the Oni would never... Actually nevermind, she completely would be doing this to him. Every time they came across one another she had this innate urge to treat him like a plaything, goodness knows why. Maybe if they could just get back onto the topic at hand without his being mauled then this night wouldn't be too bad.

[color=39b54a]"I did see her as a matter of fact, and I even got to speak to her before someone else did,"[/color] Tetsuya said with a smirk, unable to conceal the bit of pride seeping through, [color=39b54a]"She and I... Well we did plenty of talking."[/color] Unfortunately not very much information was gained from it, or actually none whatsoever. This was hardly the type of place to be discussing what he had or hadn't found though, it was a really private matter and should be discussed somewhere far less open. Especially now that another person looked to be joining them, someone that he didn't quite as readily recognize as the others. They seemed to be with Yuudai and Jiang though, so he supposed he ought to trust the man.

He had never met Kenji before, but the first words out of his mouth made the Neko not a huge fan of him already. [color=39b54a]"Impostor? I am not an impostor!"[/color] Tetsuya said annoyed, his tail swishing about as he balled his hands into fists. He was getting fairly annoyed with how he was being treated here, he was supposed to be one of Lord Shima's guards! Realizing he was at risk of acting... Well like a child he took a proverbial step back, sighing and closing his eyes as he pinched the bridge of his nose. [color=39b54a]I agree, this isn't the place for this kind of conversation. And since it seems that we're using my bedroom as the meeting place..."[/color] Tetsuya trailed off, smiling slightly as he gestured to the hall where his room was before walking off to it.

[color=39b54a]"It might be a bit cramped, I didn't expect to have any visitors tonight,"[/color] the Neko explained, opening up his room and stepping aside to let the others in, [color=39b54a]"Make yourselves comfortable, just uh... Please don't touch my things?"[/color] Not that he had very much on him, save for his armor, sword and shield. Not quite knowing what to do with himself right now Tetsuya took a seat by the door to the courtyard, managing a slight smile as he looked up at the trio gathered in his room. [color=39b54a]"I have to ask... Just how many of there are you? How many more did Lord Shima send...?"[/color]
