Jiro calmed down for a moment as he noticed it was merely some vagrant using his shower for one reason or another, not really a threat to his life, but possibly one to his health.  He rolled his eyes and shook his head, seeing straight through the glass to a certain organ hanging between the "girl's" legs.  Last he checked, the only place those actually existed was in explicit novels and stories people got carried away with, so it must've been a guy in there despite the mousy voice and maid outfit on the counter.  Definitely an interesting one, if nothing else.  He sighed, then, [color=cyan]"Look, I'm not gonna hurt you, okay?  Come out when you're ready and I'll cook something, long as you don't run.  Okay?"[/color] he finished, stepping out and setting the frying pan on the stove.  Shaking his head and mumbling in his native tongue, he started to dig through his groceries to find some ingredients to scratch up some miso soup.

Soon enough, the delicious scent of shipjack tuna getting smoked would permeate the dormitory, like it was working to draw out the terrified Rufus.

[color=sienna]"Oh, sorry, it's Aderyn.  Ya've prolly seen me on these blasted things fer tha last week 'er so."[/color]  Aderyn took a moment to pat the side of her left crutch, looking down as she shifted her weight to the other one.  [color=sienna]"But still, 'ave ya seen her anywhere?  I've been plannin' somethin' fer her, just a small thanks fer helping me fer so long."[/color]  For one reason or another, it was becoming quite clear that she wasn't as fatalistic as usual, maybe even eager for something besides coffee for once.

Needless to say, Tom's help would be very much appreciated, though maybe through the cracks he'd be able to see a hint of malevolence, given his ambitions as a reporter.  For what, though, was a mystery.
