This couldn't do... How had he managed to be so late despite setting out when he intended to? Tessai walked along the streets, looking almost lost. He knew where the Miura Youth Organisation was located, of course, he'd been there before, but he just wasn't goimng to it yet. 

He wasn't looking for anything in particular, though. Instead, he was just... Wandering around. Killing time, as it were, despite being late enough already. What had sparked him to be so late in the first place? Well, he was simply walking to his destination, when his attention was stolen by a small, black cat on the pavement.

Tessai was one unable to resist going up to a cat in the street and petting it. He loved cats, for one, and since owning more than two was likely suicide with his organisation skills, it was nice to be able to meet new kitties. The reasoning was probably crazy to anyone other than himself, but what could he do. It wasn't like anyone needed to [i]know[/i] the reasoning, and even if they did they didn't need to understand it. 

But that still didn't answer why he was wondering around instead of heading to his destination. See, something startled the poor kitty while he was petting it, causing it to run off into an ally and away somewhere. And Tessai hadn't finished stroking it. So now he was following it around the streets and down allyways in order to find it. 

Why, might you ask? Because he loved cats, and wanted to pet as many as possible. Usually, he would aim for 20 seconds per new cat, or higher depending. This cat had only stuck around for about 15 seconds before bolting due to a noise. It would seem crazy to most to want to chase after a cat to stroke it for an extra 5 seconds, but it didn't matter what others thought. He just wanted to stroke the kitty,

Plus, it looked as though the cat was a stray, and he never got the chance to feed it. Before setting off on the chase he went and bought some pouches of food for the thing. He couldn't let it go hungry, even if it could hunt it's own food. He looked at his watch. He was getting later by the second... Surely Makiko would understand. 

[colour=Turquoise]"Ah, there you are, Kitty!"[/colour] turning a corner, Tessai saw it; the cat. It was black, just like the other, and didn't run from him upon approach. No, it walked up to him with a meow, asking to be petted more. Silly kitty. Why did you run if you wanted more tickles? He took a seat on the pavement and stroked the cat with her free hand, whilst his other took out the pouch of food. He then tore open the top with his teeth, and produced a little plastic contained into which he poured the food. 

He set it down, tickled the cat a little more as it ate, then stood and headed off.
[colour=Turquoise]"See you, Kitty.[/colour] back up the alley, onto the street, and then towards the place he should have been some... 15 minutes ago. Oh well, it wasn't [i]that[/i] bad. Surely there were others as late as he. Surely.

It only took about 5 minutes to make it to the Miura Youth Organisation HQ, making him about 20 minutes late. Everyone was probably already inside, huh? Oh well, all he had to do was apologise. Makiko and everyone else would accept that and they'd move on to whatever other matters needed attending to. 

He walked up behind Aamuu and tapped her on the back, smiling as she turned around, if she turned around. He then slightly waved into the inside of the building, towards Makiko and the others.
[colour=Turquoise]"I apologise for being late, it is a first... I got slightly caught up."[/colour] and with that, he took a step around the Tengu girl and into the building; taking a seat somewhere in between the door and Makiko and Yuina themselves.
