((no formatting for the moment. Will do that later I guess)) Shun Baba Shun shrugged as Mei assaulted him with her overly formal excuse. [color=cc0000]”The objection isn’t over the chocolate itself..” [/color] he says, noting with some pride the subtle (and admittedly cute) way the fox woman’s ears twitched with mild agitation. [color=cc0000]”It was more that you’re being inaccurate for the sake of a good impression and theatrics. A woman of your qualities needing neither.”[/color] His tone is flat and even, for as far as he was concerned it wasn't flattery. His face did turn (only just barely) a shade redder as the fox woman teased him for his bottom smacking comment. [color=cc0000]”Hmph…Poor fox my ear.”[/color] He says with a hint of stammer, averting his gaze for a moment while he attempts to think of a retort. He considered firing back that the fox woman seemed more amused by the suggested spanking than anything else, so her scolding seemed a bit overshadowed by her lack of offense. But he stowed it away. Impropriety should be measured out carefully with someone like Mei. Teasing was perhaps tolerated, but Shun wasn’t to sure his career could survive the fox woman if she decided to turn her attentions fully on him. Besides, the rattling of their guest brought a temporary end to the verbal bout. [color=cc0000]”Ryuuko, as we’ve been calling her, left her heavenly abode around...”[/color] Shun says, checking the folder clasped in his hands quickly. [color=cc0000]”About three hours ago when she landed in the I.D. Kennel club before she was taken in. She’s actually been exceptionally cooperative with us, given the circumstances.”[/color] He gives an appreciative nod to the dragon girl. He turns his gaze back to Mei, clearing his throat. [color=cc0000]”Seeing as she did nothing wrong, she’s not in any sort of trouble. But given her limited understanding of social customs and everyday functions (no offense meant Ryuu-chan), leaving her on her own isnt really an option for the moment. Thus, I was assigned to chaperone until things stabilize for her. “[/color] ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Sho Baba Sho could barely hold back a gag as the humid air of the apartment hit his nose. Ugh, the poor landlord of this place had bigger problems than them tearing it up. If he had to make a prediction, the mildew was primed to spring from the walls and set up a lease! (well...maybe that would be good for the landlord, all things considered.) He posted up behind Makkiko as she began to lead the search through the apartment. As the girl flung open the first door, Sho was mildly surprised to see the hunched ghostly offender they were looking for sat comfortably on the other end of the room. He had just enough time to think this job was going to be really easy (the dull thud of the ghost speaking registering somewhere in the back of his brain), before black ghostly hands slammed into him, throwing him to the floor with the familiar crunch of bone greeting his ears as he came to a stop.
