Having successfully made an utter fool of himself Tetsuya wasted no time in returning to the bath, grabbing a robe and quickly wrapping himself in it. Unfortunately for him it wasn't quite his size, and the bottom of it seemed to drag along a little, the sleeves just hanging over the edges of his hands too. To fix the latter he simply rolled the sleeves up some, but there was nothing that could be done for the robe itself. Did they not have anything more reasonably sized, or for a Neko? Then again come to think of it he'd seen no one like him since arriving in Ru, something that struck him as unusual. Was his kind really so rare out here?

Tetsuya was just stopping by in the lobby on his way back, having dropped his clothes off at the wash, to thank the innkeeper when he was approached. Not expecting anyone to come and talk to him he was awfully confused by it, especially since he didn't recognize the man whatsoever. Looking at the blue haired traveler uncertainly he frowned when words were slurred, worried he might be dealing with one of the drunks from earlier. So he knew who he was, kind of, at least enough to claim he was the 'Neko knight'. Seriously, was that what everyone knew him as now? Much as he'd love to tell the stranger to sod off he was careful not to make Lord Shima look bad, even if it meant dealing with some unpleasant situations. [color=39b54a]"If you know who I am then you'd know my loyalties lie with Shima,"[/color] he replied simply, [color=39b54a]"I'm very busy right now, so if you wouldn't mind..."[/color]

For a second Tetsuya thought he had been set up, gasping when he was suddenly grabbed from behind by a strong set of arms. Taken aback by the grip he tried to wriggle free, only to pause in utter confusion when a hand began petting his head. What in the hell was this? He wasn't some little furry animal to be doted on, and he certainly wasn't some stranger's plaything. Face heating up indignantly he glanced back to see who it was, eyes widening in surprise at the sight of the woman. [color=39b54a]"Yuudai? What... When..."[/color] he began, becoming even more puzzled than he was before. Looking down as one of her hands danced across his chest he hastily stepped back, accidentally bumping into the man before stepping away from him too, pulling his robe together tightly. [color=39b54a]"W-What are you doing here's more like it! I'm here because Lord Shima asked me to be!"[/color] Tetsuya responded, frowning as he pointed childishly at Yuudai, [color=39b54a]"And I told you to stop that last time, didn't I? I'm not a kitten to be pet!"[/color]
