Gin, Marie, Capello, Joseph
Kimiko cursed, jumping back when the fox materialized infront of her. Why does he do that?! She glared at him when he reappearred beside Gin, looking him up and down to assess his injuries. They...healed? She frowned, not really hearing his words as he talked to Marie. No, that can't be right. He doesn't have super-healing. Which meant it was an illusion. She looked around the lounge, wondering if the real Capello was anywhere nearby. He could be in another room and she'd have no idea. Mentally cursing him, she turned her attention back to the conversation, blinking when she saw that there was two of him now. Really, wasn't one of him enough? Thankfully, that didn't last too long, but he was giving her a headache again.
They were talking about forming partnerships. Kimiko sighed at the thought, deciding not to comment on that for now. She didn't know any of the others. She was supposed to run background checks on them, observe their habits, see how they fared in a fight and then form a contract with one of them. It was much too soon.
If only she hadn't left the building today... But there was no point regretting that now. She had to think about who to choose. Who could she even trust? Her eyes automatically slid to Capello and she quickly looked away before he could catch her. It's not too illogical. He saved me - us - moments ago and I know he's good in a fight... She mentally groaned. Do I really have no choice?
"Ooooooh, did I miss tea time?"
Kimiko's mouth twitched as the kitsune rambled about nonsensical things. Even though it was comedic, she hoped it wasn't permanent. One loopy fox was enough, thank you. Besides, she had enjoyed her sane company during lunch and would like to talk again, minus another Rabisu attack.
"Maybe she needs food?" Kimiko wondered. "She's trying to eat the compress and keeps mumbling about it," she shrugged. Although, Marie would probably try feeding her something she had made and that would end...badly. "Um...I think there are some potato chips in the pantry," she suggested before Marie got the idea of cooking something for the poor girl. Just then, her flailing made her fall from the couch and the bakeneko went to her side to pick her up.
Kimiko glanced at the fox leaning against the wall. "Where are you really hiding?" she asked him quietly, narrowing her eyes. She had half a mind to tell Marie about his injuries but she didn't want the cat's anger to flare up again. Besides, Gin needed attention and the maid couldn't be in two places at once. "I saw your injuries. You need-" she began to tell him off but was interrupted by the arrival of a new face. Well, he looked new. She couldn't remember if she had seen him around. She had been cooped up in her room for the past few days just to avoid meeting new people anyway. Why is he wearing a coat indoors in this weather? she wondered with a frown. Kimiko decided to let Marie or Capello answer the stranger, in case they knew him. In the meanwhile, she stared down Capello, or at least his illusion, until he satisfied her with an answer.
