Godot

Hiro didn't seem too worried about the kimono clothes, because he was confident in his abilities, and he had the same expression as ever. He continued smiling at Tamamo, the smile turning into a reassuring smirk. "Don't you worry, Tamamo. Humans use machines to wash clothes, but I will wash them by hand for you, because I know your clothes are used to that method." He crouched down to the ground and looked at her pieces of clothes, picking up all the pieces, carefully lifting up the kimono and her thigh highs, along with whatever else she was wearing. For a moment there he looked at them, with a raised brow, but he still had a smile. He would be careful with each piece of clothing, laying it on one of his arms. "I will be right back, without harming your clothes. I promise! Give me fifteen minutes." Hiro promises again, and after hearing her response to his remarks, if he wasn't stopped by her, he turned on his heels and left the bathroom, leaving the door slightly ajar. The door on the outside is heard opening and closing, meaning he left. Presumably Tamamo waited for him to return and she was still in the bath tub, the door on the outside is heard opening up and closing once again. It was definitely him, because before he peeked into the bathtub, trying to see what Tamamo is doing, he shouted from outside. "I'm back!" If everything seemed safe and she was still in the tub, hoping that she wasn't outside of it or anything else, he would only then walk in with a smile and present her the kimono, thigh highs and others that she might've had. They seemed much more cleaner, their colors being much more visible and vibrant due to the dirtiness being taken out of them. Nothing about it seems ruined at all, and all of it seemed dry and smooth. He places it neatly down onto an empty towel holder. "Here you go, as promised. I made sure to be extra careful with them and thoroughly inspected everything twice." He lets his hands hang next to him as he looks over to her, trying to see her reaction.

Naturally he would hear her out as she spoke, getting a bit more curious again, though this time about that girl that she keeps talking about. It looks like she has a name as well. The story continues, but seeing how she still doesn't feel like talking about it too much, he doesn't pursue it. In his mind, he does already start making up theories though, but that's a topic for another day. When she finally thanks him for the bath, he smiles at her and stops leaning against the plastic container, stepping closer to her and reaching out to her head to gently pat it. "Any time! Glad that you liked it, I tried my best." The pat would last a bit longer than before, but he let go of her head because his attention is taken away once again by her presumably worn clothes. When she asks her question at last, he turns to her again, raising a brow. Noticing how she looked like she wants to stay more, he just smiles again warmly. "It's only over when you want it to be over, but I don't recommend staying for too long. Eventually the water will get cold and you might catch a cold as well. Too much time in the water will also turn the skin on your fingers and feet all wrinkly." He snickers at that, continuing his monologue after looking back down at her clothes, humming before speaking. "Hmm, do you want me to wash and dry your clothes for you? I'll have to temporarily leave you here for that, but I promise it won't take long and it'll be as clean as you are right now. What do you say?" He crosses his arms again, awaiting her reply once more to his offer, excited to see what she thinks about his kind offer. Of course, whatever she responds with, he would listen to her intently.

Because Hiro is pretty much an innocent boy himself, he didn't think of anything lewd whenever she mentions rewarding him. After all, with the last couple of hours spent with Tamamo, she didn't seem bad to him in such a way that would make him think that she would do something out of malice to him. He smiled back at her after looking at her again, drying his hands at a towel that was laying around there and crossing his arms. He contemplated her words a little bit when she mentioned 'body cleaner' because after all, he didn't exactly clean all of her body, only her hair and technically fur, the fur being on her ears and tails. That made him blush just a little bit, but it wouldn't be that noticeable, or even if it was, one could say it's because of the heat that formed in the bathroom. "I mean, as long as it helps you get more used to the academy, or rather the ways of living among other humans and monsters in urban areas, I don't have a problem with that. I feel like it got me closer to you. This was my first time washing somebody like this and truth be told, it wasn't weird or difficult as I expected it to be. It just came to me as an instinct on how to do it and it felt great knowing I helped someone, somehow." After that, he let out a nervous chuckle, momentarily closing his eyes. He has definitely come a long way himself. If these were only the first few days in the academy, he definitely wouldn't have even approached Tamamo in the first place. It seemed like Hiro was the type of person who just liked to help everyone. Possibly to get on their good side, or possibly because of that's how he simply wants to. There's quite a few options. Hiro takes his eyes off of Tamamo as he looks around, still having a small smile on his lips as he seems to be enjoying his time. Given a few seconds of silence, Hiro turned his head back to her to respond to any of her remarks that she might've had to his earlier monologue, only to ask another question afterwards. "I have a semi-strict schedule when it comes to spending my time.. that means each day I know what I want to do and when, but.. right now I have a lot of free time on that schedule table, so do let me know on what days you want a bath. I can tell you if I am busy then or not. In all honesty, I'd be lying if I said I wasn't curious about what sort of rewards you're thinking about. Not that I would need anything else apart from a simple expression of gratitude.." He uncrosses his arms and raised a hand to scratch the back of his head in a nervous fashion, innocently showing his teeth in a grin, patiently awaiting her reaction and reply. In his mind, he did get curious about what sort of rewards she was talking about. Even so, for a moment there he shifts his gaze again, only to look at her clothes that were on the ground, presumably so, trying to see if they're dirty or not just by looking at it. He thinks about bringing that topic up to her, if they are, but first, there's other topics to discuss.

As Hiro was given consent and permission to continue, he let out a sigh of relief as he stepped back towards Tamamo. "Okay, don't worry. I'll make sure to be gentle. I'm only helping because it seems like it's quite a hassle to do it yourself, topped off with the fact how the tub isn't large enough to swim in it." He mentions, his tone sounding of concern, but he kept a smile on his lips after he raised the shampoo bottle, walking a bit more towards her tail and back, pouring some on his hands to then apply it to her hair, using slow and gentle movements to rub it into her hair, as well as what one might call her fur on her ears, but he made sure to be extra careful so that no water or shampoo gets in her ears. To her, her hair starts feeling much more sticky and gooey, but upon finishing with the hair on top of her head and some a little bit below it, he used that steel mug again to grab some clean warm water from the faucet, turning off the water again and then keeping her ears down as he pours it on top of her head. It looks like Hiro had nothing much to say, as he seemed focused. He's definitely a caring person, if he's willing to go through the trouble to help her like this, but at least she will easily get used to how to do things around here. Grabbing more shampoo from the bottle, this time he got over to her pretty large and fluffy tails, starting with just one of them as he gently caresses it and makes sure to never pull on it, though since they were all bunched up behind her, he does attempt to get the rest of them to go underwater, which he is able to achieve with just a gentle push on them. Momentarily he wished he had more hands than just two to do this, because it was just a little bit difficult, but given the time and patience of Tamamo, Hiro was more than able to get to all nine of her tails, making sure to never pull on them during this time and rinsing it a couple of times using water from the steel mug again, raising a forearm to wipe off the sweat from his forehead. Even after he was done, though, he still didn't say anything. Instead, he looked over to the closed plastic container that had dirty clothing in it, leaning against it carefully so that he doesn't sit on his own glasses. It was sturdy enough to hold him, so he's not going to fall into it or something.

Hiro had an expression on his face that Tamamo hasn't seen yet. It's his expression of determination and focus. Seeing as how she wanted to try bathing, he decided to help her. Not seeming to realize that she's a little bit offended from her part, he leans in a little bit, raising a brow while looking at her now barely visible face as she asked that first question of her's. "What do you mean? I'm showing you how to wash yourself in these circumstances. You seemed really interested, so I decided to went on with it. I poured some water on your head to get that part wet as well, though I was concerned some might get in your ears, so I had to be more careful with that." He explains quickly, raising a hand to carefully take off his own glasses, looking much more different without them, though he's still definitely Hiro, just less nerdy. He places down that as well on his own clothes. When she asks those questions about what she would do with the gooey liquid, he'd nod at her words with a slight smile. "Indeed so. You can use that to rub it all over your body. If you wish, I can help you wash your hair and fur, to make the process faster, but I can also leave you be..?" He says so, stepping back and giving her some personal space in case she seems to act more defensive about the whole ordeal, his tone not sounding threatening at all about leaving her alone, just concerned that he might be a bit too spontaneous with his own actions. Yeah, he didn't really think this through, but at the same time, he feels like he did. He just suddenly feels like he wants to help Tamamo.

Hiro held onto the bottle and looked at Tamamo while she replied, analyzing her smirk after her words. By now he simply understands what she's smirking about, not even needing her to explain. He nods at her when she asks him if she has to rub it on herself, confirming her theory. He looks over to her hair, ears and even tail, stepping closer to inspect it. "You do have a lot to clean, indeed." For a moment, he places down the bottle of shampoo on the side of the bath tub, only so he can roll up the sleeves of his white shirt, after taking off his black suit jacket and tie. He folds them up and places them down somewhere safer from water. He then steps back to next to her and, before he grabs onto the bottle of shampoo again, he reached out to grab a small steel mug with a handle, to grab some water with it and, using his hands to keep her ears down if she let it happen, he'd pour the hot water over it, getting that part of her head wet as well. It's safe to say that the entirety of her body, including her head, most of her tails and her hair were all wet, ready for bathing. Seems like Hiro knows what he's doing, despite him never bathing anyone yet before. Perhaps he seen it in movies or read it somewhere? "Now, if you could hold out your hands, please?" He tells her, waiting for her to do so, and once she does so, he would grab the shampoo bottle and squeeze some gooey liquid into her hands. It would feel cold and.. gooey, as expected, but a strong sweet scent would emit from it, the smell being familiar to her because she lived in the forest and likely came across a flower with the same sweet scent. It smells like a peony, mixed with the flowers of a crabapple tree. It's out of season, but since it's been fabricated a while ago, it kept it's full scent. Hiro even smiles after smelling the scent as well, hovering the bottle over and tilting it until a little droplet enters the water as well, soon the hot water that Tamamo is sitting in turns scented as well, along with a little bit bubbly, though these bubbles will build up overtime slowly. Hiro reached into the water and helped to speed this process up a little bit, rapidly shaking his palm in the water where the droplet was, the bubbles building up and the topmost layer of the water turning white, no longer see through.

Being broken out of his trance, Hiro looked back down at Tamamo and seeing how she was already sitting in the bath tub and the water was all the way up to her neck, it seems. Her many tails must be the reason why the water was able to get this high so quickly, though he concludes in his head that it must be difficult for her to wash all of the tails individually. At least, that's how it seemed like it, considering there's nine tails that she has to worry about. Upon her offer, Hiro does his trademark nervous chuckle as he raises a palm in front of his chest and swaying it gently side to side in a negative fashion. "Ah, I will take one after you.. I feel like I s-should give you some space to test it out and whatnot, since it's your first time..!" He mentions, seeming proud of himself for a moment there for being able to come up with such a clever answer, forming an innocent smile on his lips. In case she didn't do it herself, Hiro made sure to close off the valve, without actually trying to look down into the water, because so far it's only hot water and nothing else, meaning it's possible to see through it. On the bath tub's side, against the wall there were a bunch of differently colored shampoo bottles, but they were mostly dark blue, black and white colored. If she knows how to read them, reading the text on these bottles' sides she can deduct that they're bottled of shampoo, made for men. Hiro never really thought a girl is going to bathe in his own bath tub, but he's not surprised too much about that. Lucky for Tamamo, there's was a uniquely shaped shampoo bottle as well, containing red gooey liquid. It must be not only for men, but for the bath itself, to make it more bubbly and scented. Hiro looks over to the collection of bottles, asking a question. "Are you familiar with these.. items?" He gestures towards the collection bottles, explaining something right away. "They're.. essentially liquefied soap in bottles.. Some are used to make the water bubbly, some are used to take care of the hair.. though since we're in a monster age, these are good for humans and monsters, too.." He mumbles that last part, reaching over to the bigger bottle with red liquid in it, reading it. "Apparently this one is good for skin, fur, hair and.. scales?" He seems perplexed about that, narrowing his eyes at the text, but then he shrugs, looking over to Tamamo to see her reaction and response. If she wants to try it, she certainly can, though it's presumably not going to be easy for her to do it herself...

Hiro made sure to listen out for her response, though he began looking perplexed as she lifted up her leg, indeed noticing the paw mark now that she had her sole up. Though, his attention is soon taken by how she removed the other one as well and stood into the bath, taking a very small step back and the blush streak on his cheeks slowly beginning to grow. By now he is used to monsters walking around naked, so his reaction isn't any different than before. All he gets is a blush on his cheeks, and nothing else. "Wait..! Here, n-now? I mean.. n-not that it's a problem, but... alright.." He stutters, deciding to be polite anyway and looking away as she seems to be taking off the rest of her clothes. He murmurs something out to himself. "Oh, dear me, I am not surprised that this is happening again. Calm down, Hiro. Nudity is completely normalized among monsters." It was very quiet and not directed towards Tamamo. Once she turned on valve herself, the water starts flowing again from the faucet, though this time it didn't feel as hot as it must've felt when she first stepped into the small pool of water that was cooled down fast due to the cold surface of the bath tub. Instead, it felt like the perfect warmth. That one perfect spot between warm and hot. Almost as if the water was from a spring. Only difference is, is that this water isn't formed naturally. The water was flowing and filling up the bath, though it was an awkward slow process. If Tamamo were to sit down into the tub, the big sides of the bath tub would hide her nude body so much so that, upon Hiro stepping back again just a little bit, he's actually able to look at her without it being too weird. Though, even now it's not exactly too weird since her back is turned and most of the taboo parts of her body are hidden by her nine fluffy tails. Thank the Heavens for the nine fluffy tails. He'd notice her tattoo as well and took a mental note of it as it seemed interesting, though he decides not to bring it up now. "Let me know if the water is too hot, or something. I'll try to adjust the heat, if that's the case." He mentions, standing there in the bathroom as he turns his head toward the ceiling, rubbing his own neck for a moment whilst he thinks of a couple of things.

[ Scene moved to Saeki's Room. ]

* * * Hiro heard out Tamamo's @Seraphina concerns and worries, blinking idly as he keeps her last question in mind. He sighs, putting on a small smile and then nodding once. "Sure, I can show you. Let's go to my room." And just like that, he'd already start walking towards his own room while raising a hand to the back of his head, scratching it as he tries to think on basically how to explain her, even if things should be self explanatory. He'd open up his own room, it not being locked it seems, walking in first and immediately taking a left turn, which is where the other room would be. "Excuse me for the mess. Didn't have time to exactly clean my room just yet." He said, nervously so. His room looked very normal and it was actually rather clean, though it was uninteresting. There was nothing unique about it, apart from the fact that there's a drawer with books on it everywhere for presumably studying, as well as a chair in front of it. There's no mess anywhere, apart from the bed that is undone and there's a pair of socks on the ground next to it. That's it. Once or if they had both finally entered, he'd turn on the lights in the bathroom and show her the rather small area, pointing out the white bath tub in the really clean bathroom detailed with white and light blue colors all around. The air was quite scented as well. "This is a bath tub. Your room should have one, too. It's pretty simple to.. operate it. To create a bath for yourself, all you have to do is plug in the sink like so.." He'd step aside so that Tamamo can see, placing the plug into the sink hole. He would then continue his explanation. "..And then, you simply use this valve here to twist it, enabling the faucet's flow." He does so, and suddenly water starts flowing out of it at a high rate, steam erupting from the bath tub as soon as the water hits the surface. He'd stop the water flow, though, then he'd turn to Tamamo, crossing his arms and still smiling at her. "Sure, there's no room for swimming, but it does the job and it's equally as relaxing. That's just my opinion, though." He shrugs, awaiting her answers and reaction.

He finally realizes what she meant, but more importantly he feels like her not knowing about tubs is a much more concerning issue, since it's technically the only way to clean yourself around in urban landscape. "Uhm... Right... Not sure if you have seen it, but your dorm room has another room, which is called the bathroom. It has a toilet in it, a sink with a mirror, and a bath tub." He lets out a sigh, having to voice out this out loud because he really doesn't want to sadden Tamamo or anything, but it's the truth. "There's no springs here in the academy. I know what they are, but that and bath tubs are completely different.." He grits his teeth for just a moment, trying to add more information to try and make things just a bit better for Tamamo, knowing how she arrived from the forest and springs must be some sort of big deal for her. "B-But it's not that bad! It's the same as a spring, only it's a very small space fit for two people at most, and the hot water isn't naturally formed..!" He stands up straight and smiles at her, a little bit anxious to hear her response.

Hiro hears out her suggestion but he doesn't think anything bad of it, because that's not the way he thought about it at first. He places his hands on his own waist as he stood straight, widening his eyes just a little bit while continuing to smile. "Hey, that's not a bad idea! Taking a bath is probably the most relaxing thing ever, so I should probably do that as well." He says so, innocently, giving her idea some thought. He definitely could use a bath, but suddenly he thinks of something. He was looking away, but he looks back at her, just before she spoke anything. "Wait, do you know how to operate bath tubs?" Genuinely curious, he asks her, moving his hands to cross them again instead, keeping his attention at her. She likes swimming and spring water, but too bad there's not enough space to swim and no spring water nearby. That's a darn crying shame. There is, however, the pool that is used for swimming class, but nobody is allowed there to just simply use it all willy nilly. Not for proper bathing and stuff, that's for sure.

As Tamamo looked down at her own legs, Hiro looked at her legs as well, having only noticed now that she's not exactly wearing anything on her feet. Not that it really matters, or anything, but it's always possible to step onto something which may hurt, especially in city areas. During the small expedition from earlier, he also showed her the public laundry room, which was just at the end of the hallway they're currently in. That's one way to wash her clothes. He would stop staring as soon as she spoke to him, his eyes darting up at hers while his cheeks redden just a slight bit. He gave her question some thought as he looked off to the side, then he looked back at her with a slight smile, all the while raising up his hand to his own glasses to fix them on his face. "I was thinking of taking a nap. Usually that's what I do on weekends. I don't have a lot of fun things to spend my time on, besides going outside of the academy's boundaries (which I don't do because it's scary) or watching some TV. I already did all my studying yesterday, so I do not have anything important going on. I guess.. I need to find more ways to spend time." He concludes, shrugging once in his shoulders while looking back at Tamamo for her take on the matter.

Hiro pockets his notebook and crosses his arms, standing there proudly after having showed the nine tailed youkai around. He looks back at her, only to hear out her response. To her question, he would nod once. "Yeah, there will be. Right after this one. I'm glad you enjoyed the little tour! I did as well. We got some food in and we also had a long walk. Gotta train those legs to be stronger." The corner of his mouth rises as he smiles, seeming to be the type of person that cares about health and working out. He does look pretty athletic, after all. "What are you going to do now?" He asks her curiously with raised brows as he intently stared at her while awaiting her response, taking note of the fact that she now thinks being here will be fun.

Hiro nods at Tamamo after her question. "Of course. Why wouldn't I be okay with it? I offered it, after all!" He stands up as well, though he watches her carry the dishes where they supposed to be. He seemed surprised, but it looks like she was catching on to how to properly act in this environment quicker than ever. Or maybe she simply knows human manners, all thanks to that one person she keeps mentioning. Next, if Tamamo was okay with it, Hiro would lead the way once again, going back outside from the dining hall, ready to show her some places. Overtime as they walked around and Hiro kept explaining to her what each place is, they talk in the meantime about random things, but not as much. To any question that she had, he would obviously answer, and if it was a slightly tougher question, he'd do his best to answer those either. He would show her where every common room is that she will most likely use, including that of every lecture, the library, the teachers' offices and even the public restrooms, although each dorm room might include their own anyway. He also showed her what might be her own class that she has to go to, starting Monday. Finishing up with showing around, he simply lead her back to the dorm hallway, after about an hour and a half of time passed by showing her around. The academy is quite big, so of course it would take that long. Hiro sighs, having his notebook out in his hand as he was writing down some things in it. "Right. Tamamo, are you sure you will keep in mind where everything is? It's really important, you know." He asked her with a slight smile, awaiting her reaction and response with an expression of high expectation. OOC: I skipped a little bit of time so that showing her around wouldn't be complicated for neither of us. I hope it's not a problem!

Hiro remains completely oblivious to Tamamo's true feelings about the other human that she met. He's thankfully not the kind of guy to force himself on anybody. In fact, it's quite the opposite. He's trying to get away from everyone. Such is the life of an introvert who doesn't talk a lot and is pretty much always nervous around everyone. The best he can be is a friend and nothing more, so Tamamo is certainly safe around him. He'd continue eating his food, eventually finishing it and hearing out her remark about the kiss once again, looking back at her as he no longer touches the plate and cutlery, given how he finished the food. "I can't really tell you how it feels, but I assume it's soft and warm, as you said so. I never kissed anyone yet, nor did anyone kiss me, and if anyone did, I probably would try to avoid it unless it's from somebody that likes me and I like them back. It would feel wrong to receive it or to give it to somebody random." He says so, seeming rather serious about this whole ordeal with kissing somebody and being kissed, rubbing his own chin for a few seconds once again. At least his morality is still intact, even after being among monsters for more than a month. It's strange, really. Some monsters act real strange, yet somehow Hiro still survives.

Feeling a little bit more praised as she said she shouldn't underestimate him, pocketing the notebook back as he continued to listen to her. When she offered Hiro the touch of a tail, he didn't think nothing weird of it, nor did he get super excited over it. That would've been weird. Instead, he smiles with raised brows. "Oh? That would be nice, I always wondered what they feel like!" He says so, looking off to the side as he places a thumb and index finger on his chin, seeming to be in thought for just a moment before looking right back at her. It seems like her saying that made him think that he should be looking forward to something in the future. When she asked about the Demons trying to kiss him, he doesn't seem too surprised but he does blush slightly about it, raising the palms of his hands to gently wave them in a negative way in front of him, defensively. "No, no! Maybe once, but.. what they always do is use their powers to talk in my head, which kind of scares me since it's always so sudden, and then they try to get nervous reactions out of me by.. changing the size of their.. certain body parts.." He says so, looking down at Tamamo's chest for a moment to indirectly indicate what he's talking about, quickly looking back up at her face instead. He blushes a bit more deeply this time, raising a hand to scratch the back of his head as she reveals where the question came from, calming down after a few seconds as her small gesture on pointing on her own lips made him smile. "Oh, I see. That was sweet of her to do so I guess." He mentions, simple as that. At her last question, he curiously looked back at her. "Uhm, n-no, that's not a bad thing! It's just a thing that some people get embarrassed about if they're not used to it yet." He explains to her, turning back to his half eaten food to grab onto a fork, starting to eat the remaining bites of it whilst also keeping his attention on Tamamo.

To anyone that I have a scene with, I'd like to apologize if my responses are a bit slower than usual. Free time is becoming less and less common, sadly.

Finishing half of his own plate, as he was more focused on actually enjoying the food and tasting it properly, rather than shoving everything in his face, he momentarily places down the cutlery onto the side of his plate to reach out for some paper towel that was on the middle of the table, taking some to then wipe his mouth. It seemed like he didn't have anything to comment on her small monologue of amazement as she mentioned how it was more different to eat here than to hunt. Of course it's different, because hunting takes a lot of time and effort, while ordering food from a place is most definitely better, faster, more efficient, and best of all, somebody else does the work for you. He would then hear out Tamamo's question and concerns about him being in danger, which he seemed surprised of, given how he raised a brow. Even so, he kept smiling at her. Waiting for her to finish her questions, Hiro shakes his head side to side in a negative fashion for just a second. "I have monster friends, however they aren't there to protect me, apart from the teachers, I'm guessing, anyway, but so far I don't think I need protection from anything or anyone. Thank you for your concern, Tamamo, but I wasn't necessarily bullied, I was... teased, instead. Not that it's a bad thing, it's just.. embarrassing. I'm kind of nervous and mostly Demon monsters used that to their advantage, but even I am surprised on how they didn't do.. anything else. I note down most monster species in my notebook.." He explains, retrieving said notebook from his pocket, simply showing it but not the contents of it. He continues speaking in the meantime. "..I'd like to think I know a lot about monsters by examining them, as well as reading after their species. Hence why I knew what you were, when I seen you." He leans a bit back, only so that he can look at Tamamo's tails. "Your nine tails gave it away and, honestly, they look nice in person." He smiles at Tamamo in a gentle but intrigued way. Was that supposed to be a compliment or something? Whatever the case, he certainly hopes it is taken as one. Going back to a previous topic, he looks off to the side as he raises an index finger to place it against his lower lip, thinking for a moment. "As for how I live among monsters, I try to avoid them if I don't know them, no matter what. I don't think they're mean to humans. If anything, I know that most monsters here are intrigued about humans or interested in humans, which sounds okay, but really, it's just another excuse for.. 'taboo' actions.." He chuckles nervously, closing his eyes momentarily as his head faced her again completely, listening out to her response to everything that was said just now by Hiro, in case she wants to give one.

Despite it being her first attempt in handling cutlery, Hiro concludes that she did great for her first try, and he feels no need to be worried anymore. He simply nodded at her second remark about mentioning how the first human she met was scared as well, but he didn't say anything to it. Instead, he wanted to focus on food as well as he looked down, his mouth almost drooling so he quickly held onto the cutlery with both of his hands, using it to cut up the pieces of meat to then stick the fork through it, lifting it up to his mouth and taking a piece of the meat, immediately getting a cube of seasoned potato in his mouth as well. A delightful first meal of the day, and he finally gets to eat with someone, instead of having his zombie friend watch him eat. Not that that was bad, or anything, he still kinda wished that his close friend was able to eat as well. He didn't really have much to say or add to any conversation, focusing entirely on eating. If Tamamo had something in mind, however, it's only natural that Hiro would turn his attention to her with a smile and hear her out, after swallowing his bite.

As she lowered her ears, he noticed that and made sure to watch his words better in the future, but in a sense he still believed that he is right. Entering the dining hall at once and making his suggestion, he happily listens for her response about his offer, though also definitely keeping in mind about her story about meeting a human, and that he shouldn't tell anyone about it, for some reason. It didn't look like he had much to say about that, as it seemed to be a mere 'coincidence story' for him. In any case, Hiro nodded at Tamamo and went up to the counter, opening up a menu book that revealed all the food items available for today. He'd scroll, until he'd reach items related with meat. He didn't mind her following him, in fact, he found it somewhat adorable that she's curious and swayed by food. As long as she's not eating any humans or other monsters, it can only be peaceful. That's what he thinks, anyway. "I think I could go for some steak and potatoes. That one is a great combination, possibly the best meat dish here. Let's get that, it's good, trust me!" He looks at Tamamo with a confident smile, seeming excited himself to be eating something delicious again. After deciding what to go with, he'd press the bell at the counter, waiting for a monster to come pick up his order. He orders two plates of garlic butter steak and potatoes, the monster chef nodding once. "...And now, we wait!" He informs Tamamo, as he leaned against the counter with an elbow. While they wait for the food, he would simply look at her and her excited reactions. "You know, you're not that scary as I thought you'd be...!" He nervously chuckles, raising up a hand to give Tamamo a small pat on the head. He learned a while ago that almost every monster with big fluffy ears like Tamamo's will always have a positive reaction to head patting, so he definitely hopes he succeeds with that, but... It's not like she is going to be able to react to it for too long, because the two smaller porcelain plates full of food are brought out on a larger plastic plate, next to it some metal cutlery, which Hiro turns to and grabs, motioning Tamamo to come with him to one of the wide tables. He places down the large plastic plate on the table and sat down, taking one of the smaller plates out to place it in front of Tamamo, wherever she went. "Here you go! You can eat it however you want, but I recommend using cutlery if you know how to. Careful not to stab yourself by accident, though.." He said, a bit worried in case she went for using cutlery. They both had dull metal knives, sharp enough to cut the cooked steak, as well as metal forks. Hiro used both of those to dig into his own food, but he carefully looked at Tamamo to see what she did. On the plates, they had potatoes and steaks, all seasoned perfectly and cooked to exact perfection.

A RP revolving around Bowsette. I don't blame you for forgetting, you somehow manage to keep up with much more important RPs than that and I have no idea how you have so much time on your hands.

I said scene "outside of this club" I meant the one in Canon Clash Hope it's not a problem, anyhow

Things have been quite slow, but I hope everybody is going to have a new week! Also @JennyDK, didn't know where else to tell you, but much apologies that I couldn't get to respond to our scene outside of this club yet, I didn't have a lot of motivation for it, honestly. Other scenes have taken my attention a bit too much, among other things outside of this site.

Hiro raised an index finger to scratch at his cheek for just a moment, a cold sweat dropping down from his right temple while a bunch of things run through his mind. A quick nervous snicker escapes his mouth before he looked at her, straightening himself as he kept walking. "It's not a shame to not know a few things, but I certainly expected someone to explain you a couple of things before they accepted you here..." He said so, not sounding disappointed. It's not like it's her fault for not knowing things, but he's having a hard time thinking about whether he can afford helping her or not. After all, starting from scratch is like teaching a human baby to talk and walk, but the actual things that need to be taught are basic technology and pretty much anything else that is used to help you live a peaceful proper life in the human world. "...Anyway, no, an alarm clock isn't edible, nor it is magic. It is a technological device manufactured in the human world so that it can tell the time and make a sound to wake people up. Like a more advanced sundial. Simple." He spoke in a rushed tone, trying to get that information out of the way whilst also mentioning a tribal way of knowing the time, that being the sundial, hoping she knew what that is, at least. They approached the large heavy doors that Tamamo was already too excited to go through. Eventually, they do go through, arriving in the dining hall that has a couple of other monsters already in it. Judging how humans aren't super common in the academy, Hiro is practically the only human in there now. "Here we are!" He says so, as the scent of a bunch of food types hit both him and Tamamo. He looked around like he was exploring, despite him already being used to this place and knowing it like the back of his hand. The food is served at the counter, behind of which are monsters working to get food done of all kind. "The options are limitless. If you want, I can order food for you. Let me know what you want." He'd say in the end, looking over to her with a smile to see her reaction of the dining hall.
