Kosuke was... Well, he didn't quite know himself right now. In part shocked, in part uneasy, in part aroused (yes, he is a male after all), and completely baffled by what was happening. Where in the world had Tamina come from, and why had she just all of a sudden barreled into him like that? These thoughts only could occur after her rather modest chest was removed from his face, perhaps sparing him death by asphyxiation. Breathing a little easier once the girl had removed herself from him the Samurai pulled himself up into a sitting position, rubbing at his forehead. Right, some way to start off his first excursion in some time. He'd nearly died in town, what a way for the tank of the group to go out. Looking up at the others he smiled nervously as Aiko began snapping at Tamina, wanting to ask the assassin to back off. He knew there hadn't been any malicious intent behind that, it was an honest accident. An accident that near made him pass out, but an accident nonetheless. Besides, weren't Aiko and Largoes trying to make friends of him moments ago? So why not this girl too?

Looking to the hand he was offered the Samurai accepted it hesitantly, nodding as he got to his feet. Soon as he was upright once more Kosuke moved away a bit, dusting himself off with a blush. Such a horribly embarrassing predicament, he really just wanted to go hide somewhere for a while after that. Tamina appeared totally unfazed by it all as well which he hadn't a clue how that might be remotely possible. It took a real special sort of person to essentially molest someone and carry on like nothing had happened. He rather wished Aiko wouldn't be so determined to get an apology, it was creating tension and he really hated tension. Actually just the two girls being here was tension in of itself, suddenly Kosuke was rather regretting his agreement to join them. In spite of the moderately hostile greeting that she had been given Tamina still was kind enough to give them a bit of a forewarning, informing them of the PKers that had been outside of Akihabara as of late. He knew of them of course, reclusive as he might be he wasn't completely oblivious to the happenings around them. Knowing this sparked a rare bit of anger in Kosuke, he absolutely loathed PKers. They were the worst sort of people in the game, deriving pleasure and enjoyment from killing others. Sure, death had little to no meaning here as you just respawned, but it didn't make the act any less deplorable. 

"T-Thank you for that, Tamina. We'll uh... Keep it in mind," Kosuke said, smiling shyly as he bowed to the girl. She had no reason to tell them that so he should be grateful, they all should. Even Aiko who looked to be displeased with Tamina's very existence should be happy knowing that. If they were careful enough then they should be able to travel along with no problem. Should they run into a group of PKers it could become quite messy quite fast. They had no real support amongst them and no healers, meaning if a fight broke out they had to finish it quickly or likely fall. He was durable, but even the mightiest of tanks were not invincible, and he was far from the mightiest. The reality of the situation was they really could use someone in the way of a healer, and it just so happened this random girl with them fit that description. Convenient though it may be Kosuke wasn't wholly sure how well he would hold up to her bubbly attitude. Conversation was something he generally shied away from but he could easily see Tamina trying to speak with them near constantly. On top of that there was the already brewing disdain from Aiko, something she was making very little if any effort to conceal. If they couldn't get along then their group chemistry would be poor, and they may well as not have the healer if they couldn't work together. 

Aiko might well be mad for him asking this, but it had to be said. The chances of their succeeding would be infinitely better if they had a healer along with them. Swallowing back some nerves Kosuke rubbed the back of his head, his eyes settling on Tamina as he smiled nervously. "If y-you're not busy... We uh... We could use a healer..." he mumbled, shifting around on his feet, "I mean... If you can't then t-that's fine too... Just offering..." Really he couldn't see anything bad coming of Tamina joining them on their outing. He hadn't the gall to say it aloud but he wanted to tell Aiko she would have to deal with it, they needed a healer and there was no getting around that fact. She may not like to think in terms of game roles but they were not going to last long on their own. "What do you guys think...? C-Can she come...?"
