"Addiwson, Addiwson, please styop touwching my heawd nya. I do nyot enjowy it."

"Errm..... s-sorry, I didn't mean for that bothered you." She struggled out. Addison relented, but only just. Once again, her hardened combat experience of discipline and strength was put to the test as Addison painfully pulled her hand away from the adorable cat girl. Hamaguchi would get cuddled to death one day, Addison resolved, but today was not going to be that day. This resolve was further strengthened when Hamaguchi stated she wouldn't mind Addison petting her head, so long as she had permission. 

"Okay please follow me than. My family is there at the moment so." 

"Oh.. your family? I look forward to meeting them." Addison said with a grin. She couldn't help but feel lucky that the first person she met in this world was so kind. Now Addison was definitely not disillusioned to the fact that most would not be like Hamaguchi, but the fact that Hamaguchi was the first she met, at least gave her hope that there would be more people like her out there. 

As they continued, Addison began to understand why Hamaguchi had asked if she would be willing to tag along into a more dangerous place. As she had suspected, they had entered a slum of sorts. Shady individuals eyed them, but hopefully unbeknownst to Hamaguchi, Addison's glare alone made most of the potential trouble makers look away. While Hamaguchi had seen the face of Addisons soft side, these potential thugs saw the eyes of someone who has easily killed and seen the deaths of many. Addison's hand rested cautiously on her combat knife's sheath. 

"So.. this is where you live? I got to say, your a lot tougher than you look." Addison said, turning back to Hamaguchi with that familiar smile. "It must be tough." Addison had, admittedly, has never really known the hardship of poverty. Even in her military career, it was rare that she was ever going hungry or worried if she could afford the roof over head. 

"There's a lot more to this cute cat girl than I originally thought..." Addison silently noted.
