Kanbaru wasn't taken aback that the twins had an interest in her egregiously developed chest. It was a mixed bag of fortune that genetics bestowed on her, as much as her back would begrudge their existence upon her chest, and they did prove to be universally disarming in conversation. Or, to quote a homosexual she once knew in her youth, [i]Though we may not pine for those they are attached to, everyone likes breasts.[/i]

The conversation, or perhaps it would be more aptly called a declaration of values on the part of the Reinhardt's, continued through the mall and all the way into their home where the bluenette was led to sit with a courteous smile glued to her face, nodding her head in all the appropriate places. 

[color=aqua]"You really don't need to apologize. Believe it or not, this is a fairly common thing for me, though I think you're the first in a while to outright state the maternal influence."[/color] Kanbaru said, hefting her assets to playfully punctuate the statement. [color=aqua]"I won't begrudge you for your beliefs or actions, because at the end of the day, we all still live in a world of unlimited wants and limited resources. Whether there is DGO or not doesn't change the fact that some process will exist to sort those with initiative from those that don't. Heck, the issue I care for is that there is no further challenge afterwards to test the successful, but you're right. Let's leave the serious talk for another time."[/color]

Because if Kanbaru got in on the debate, she'd likely find all manner of reasons to take issue with the game, and she'd rather not dive into that degree of contemplation. Contrary to her counterparts before her, there was no safety net waiting for her and if Kanbaru wanted to maximize the opportunities presented to her in life, then she couldn't discredit the influence of Deep Ground out of hand. 

[color=aqua]"Anywho, on to less volatile discourse, Eins!"[/color] The bluenette whirled upon the older sister, leaning forward to affix her before Kanbaru's maternal charm. [color=aqua]"You've only recently come to town, and considering your involvement now, I take it you are sticking around for awhile. Care to share any interesting tales from back home? I bet Eris would be interested to hear what's happened in her absence too."[/color]

It seemed an innocent enough topic, and it wasn't like anyone else had a chance to talk with the latest Reinhardt to show up at Purple Crown in all the war time drama.

[color=royalblue]"This may be a university city, but standing around the park late at night is still dangerous for one's health."[/color]

Cassandra's absent minded traipsing across the city hadn't just brought her to the park, but also before a bench. And beneath this bench was a peculiar student now covered by a blanket as though he had been sleeping there. Rufus' head was turned, boring into the resolute student's visage with eyes clear despite apparently resting at the late hour. 

[color=royalblue]"I mean, if you have a whole black widow thing going on and just want to lure some chumps into a clean cut case of self defense, that's one thing, but you'll catch your death from the cold if you don't at least put on a sweater. Maybe get a poofball hat, since most body heat is lost through the head anyway."[/color]

[color=royalblue]"Oh, and don't worry about me. I won't be anyone's witness, if that's what you're thinking. The Authorities are more likely to chase me for vagrancy then ask for testimony, and I'd just run for the exercise either way. Who needs a gym membership when I can call the police for free, right?"[/color]
