Ascot sighed, Hinako was a prideful and pompous person, it seemed, as well as presumptious. But she wasn't bad, not really. A smile. At this rate, they can be a 'nakama', or in english, true companions. Yeah, that'd be great. Of course, Edward and Lily have started to get off on the wrong foot, with Edward saying the wrong things. As Edward's friend, he had to step in. "Umm...Edward?" he said, "I don't think that you should casually flirt with Lily. We met each other before while I was looking for you." Basically, Ascot was implying that he made that mistake before, and it didn't end well. "Also, all four of us: Despite our differences, which might strengthen us instead of cripple, we seem to complement each other's strengths and personalities. Why don't we form a [i]nakama[/i]? You know, a band of true companions?" [@TheHangedMan][@Hammerman][@ADamnFiddle]
