An uncouth truth that she had yet to understand, but she shrugged at Harley's demeanor towards her irregardless. [color=hotpink]"Ehh, I've only had the whole package for a couple of minutes, forgive me for not noticing things."[/color] She straightened up for a moment as she glanced between Kanbaru and Harley, pondering her words as her eyes flickered back and forth between their hues. [color=hotpink]"While I disagree with your assertion that my Lorelai is like that, I'm fine with letting you have that for now. Least she's better at it than you."[/color] Akiko let that sit there before continuing with a grin. [color=hotpink]"Nevertheless, I suppose we can keep our hands to ourselves for the time being, or any substitutes."[/color] Castle manifested behind the cat for a moment as it's full stand form before shrinking down to the shadowy cat it took as a form in more passive roles. Then Thomas came up and started to demand answers to a cavalcade of questions. Kanbaru took the mantle of trying to dial him down for Harley, an act that Akiko had to admit was probably for the best, and Akiko felt the need to maybe answer the questions in wait. Or well, maybe lie about them. [color=hotpink]"She's responsible for the establishment we've been thrust into, Thomas."[/color] Castle winked towards Harley as Akiko spoke. [color=hotpink]"When the world needed a place to place us, it spat us out here. Not that I'm complaining, I might refresh myself with a milkshake after whatever happened back there."[/color] Her ears flicked slightly. [color=hotpink]"But alas, I feel as if I should maybe find Riku or anyone else, though I would like to ask some questions to you, Harley, if you'd spare a minute."[/color] Akiko turned to face her, weird ghost cat on her shoulder. [color=hotpink]"I promise you, I'll have my claws up~."[/color] [center][img]https://66.media.tumblr.com/51fc61ac770a524e9468f174afa94d7f/tumblr_inline_n1xc79Kcic1rb3m8r.png[/img][/center] While that was going on, however, a familiar face stopped to observe the scene, waiting, wondering... [color=yellow]"Kanbaru? Is that you?"[/color]
