"Well. Before I actually answer you I want you two to swear that you'll keep what I say a secret between us. And that you won't try to interfere. If you do. Then, our friendship, our trust. The bond we share. It'll be done. Got it?" Tamotsu said with a rather serious expression on his face. He was dead serious. Probably more serious than Misa and Meli had ever seen him. Of course, this was Tamotsu. Could he really make good on such a threat? "if you understand." He sighed. "I... Really... Really like Luka. But... While we were searching for the Shades... We came across the information... That my brother... Who she loved might still be alive. And ever since we got that info it's been like... I was pushed out of her mind." He speech was a bit broken and unsure. If not for the bet he wouldn't be telling them. That much was obvious. 

"I love my brother. And I care about Luka. But I don't wanna lose her... But it would be great if my brother was alive. But I want Luka to only care about me... But I want Takashi to be alive... Gah! I hate complicated things like this." About part way through this part of the explanation in which he began making a bit less sense he started banging his head against the wall. Meli couldn't help, but think this side of Tamotsu was a bit cute. he was like a little kid. Of course, it was disappointing to see him so down and unsure. "So... What do you want?" She finally asked while he was grumbling to himself. "I... I don't know..." The fire dragon answered finally sinking to a sitting position with his back against the wall with had a pretty big dent now. "What do you two think?" He asked. "I'm not sure. Never really had a problem like this. Misa?" Meli asked putting some of the weight on her bestie. Still... Meli looked a bit too excited about this juicy bit of information the two had just fought for. There was a sort of... Gleam in her eyes.
