He looked up to keep an eye on the white-hair to make sure he wasn't up to any mischief. As he did, he saw the boy smile and bring a finger up to his lips. Was that a gesture that he would be quiet or was it aimed towards him? Before he could think of the gesture's potential meaning, the white-hair then vanished through the tree. A layer of ice left behind. Did the human think he was a fool? Black ears twitching and nose sniffing, he knew that the boy was still nearby. Whatever. Maybe the prior gesture was a sign he would leave them be. As he then resumed eye contact with Michelle, or at least tried to. She kept breaking away to look at the ground or elsewhere. It was a little annoying, to be honest. Was she sure that she was okay? "[B]"I uh, I, I...[/B]" she stuttered out. "[B]Ihavetogodosomethingbye,[/B]" she blurted out as she then dashed past him. He blinked, unsure of what just happened. Kuhaku turned to watch as Michelle suddenly ran off, saying she had to go do something. Raising an eyebrow, he tilted his head curiously. What an odd girl. As she left his sight, the white-haired boy came up to his side. He suppressed a sigh and the urge to roll his eyes. His expression hardening, he glanced at the human boy from the side. What was he up to now? "[B]I'm sorry, it was probably my fault. I only wished to observe.[/B]" the boy chuckled. "[I]Nosy.[/I]" Kuhaku mentally responded. Smiling, the boy continued. "[B]It was quite lovely though. I'm honestly envious of the bond you two have already.[/B]" Bond? What bond? As the boy started to walk away, he placed his hand on Kuhaku's shoulder. Sending an electric jolt of revulsion through his spine and causing his tail to twitch. That was the second time today that someone physically touched him. He had half a mind to bite off the boy's hand. "[B]Good luck. I won't bother you anymore today after this.[/B]" "[I]That's unfortunate, just for today?[/I]" What did he mean by wishing him 'good luck'? Whatever, at least the boy voiced a promise to leave him alone. If only for just today. As the boy walked away, Kuhaku thought "[I]Good riddance.[/I]" Sighing again, Kuhaku returned his mask to his face. As the mask clicked and locked, Kuhaku pulled out his scroll to check the time. Great. Time had flown by rather quickly from all of this. Well, there goes his nap. Irritated again, he decided to just head back to the main building to standby for the student orientation. Shoving his bandaged hands into his gauntlets, they also mechanically clicked a few times as they secured themselves to his arms. Clenching and unclenching his fists to make sure they fit correctly, he then began to stroll back to Beacon. His ears twitching and tail swaying restlessly, he mulled over the white-haired boy's words. What did he mean by wishing him luck? What bond did he speak of?
