Me!!
[PYRRHA, HE SOUNDS SO DISTRESSED]
Me! I'm Aniki!! Your aniki!
[he might start crying -- okay no, but maybe]

[ . . . . and he snorts faintly.]
Ah. So like Shinpachi-kun and Sano-kun then.
[It takes a lot for guys like Saitou to admit that people are his friends, he thinks!! If it's anything like Sousei anyway...]
Didn't expect that, but that's a pretty great thing!

[A WHINING NOISE]
Is it really that bad?! I thought I adapted okay...!

[ . . . . he shrugs faintly.]
Aniki's not that good at-- Wait no, that's wrong, Aniki's good at everything!!
[what he does to appear invincible to his kids...]
Well... Guess I just don't like doing it much is all, Lily-chan.

Hey.
[And this is the part where he's making eye contact with him.]
You can't do things just to test out your own strength when other people can get hurt.

[Discomforted? Why?! That's not what Tenka wanted at all and it shows in the concern on his face as he turns to Kaoru with a small frown.]
Hey... you've already managed to help me a ton! Really Kaoru-chan, don't put yourself down so much. I think that you make a big difference here.

...I think any genius would have trouble with you, Tenka.
[JUST AS BLUNTLY.]
[JUST AS BLUNTLY.]
[AN A FOR EFFORT, AT LEAST... Kaoru's next smile reflects something close to reassurance. Turn that frown upside down, mister!!]
Thank you for saying so, Tenka-san. Sometimes I feel as though I haven't been able to do much at all... [Hopefully that will change after the Sketchy Underground Business Network happens, but--] I'll keep trying my best. [A beat, and then:]
It's inspiring, how you're able to handle yourself so well in a place like this and still have the energy to spare to reassure others.

Mm? Oh, I already do know my own strength very well. It would be more for entertainment.
[Completely serious, all while rather cheerful.
He lets out a laugh.]
But really. Don't worry! I wouldn't do that right now or anything. I'd rather not start any chaos while I still have yet to try every type of food that's here, or meet new and interesting people. ♥~

You... should do something with your hair more, but-- mm, you look good now?
Ah, I see....
Because I'm a super genius!!
[NO]
Because I'm a super genius!!
[NO]
I guess I'll have to accept that even if I don't get it....
[grumble grumble
and then he realizes--]
Ah, by the way, what were you mumbling about earlier? Something bugging you?

Well, getting the steps right to start would probably help--
[Though he's mostly joking at that. Still, he's laughing.]
I'd call you a lucky man though. Most ladies don't take well to being fallen on.

So long as you're thinking of the people -- it'd be bad if anyone got hurt is all I'm saying. So settle down, alright?
Go to ViViD if you've got an itch to scratch or something.

[Well to be honest--]
Don't know if you can call tonight handling myself well by any stretch of the imagination.... but well, if you really say so, Kaoru-chan!
[hey, he'll take the compliment from a pretty lady]
You still seem a lot more at home here than I do, at any rate. I'm envious!

[It's called Being Polite, gosh. Kaoru seems happy that the compliment is accepted, either way!]
I think that you could stand to give yourself a little more credit, as well. [Even if he's obviously out of his element, it's not like he's trying to one-shot the olives from martini glasses or something.
Laughing a little at that, too. SURE IS NICE BEING AN INHUMAN CHAMELEON...]
It's just a matter of familiarity for me. Even though I've never been to a Western ball before, the similarities in structure are enough to help me get by. It helps that there are plenty of friends around to speak with, as well, so I don't have to be as nervous as I would if I were meeting a room full of strangers...

Huh-- oh no, I was just watching everyone dance.
[ Nervously. ]
[ Nervously. ]
Don't you get it?!
[ Oh, this is getting intense. It's a good thing they're not standing on the dance floor itself or they'd turn out to be the center of everyone's attention right now..
Not that Shinpachi is thinking of that right now. He has Bigger Priorities, and his hands grab a hold of Tenka's just so they can squeeze them a little for Intensity purposes. ]
If we go down.. then we go down together..!
[ They better both damn well suffer the curse of Tight Western Fashion together. ]

Not exactly. [ Drinking together? Going to Shimabara? More like they killed people together. Is that something else that friends did...
Saitou doesn't elaborate this out loud, of course. ]
Certainly finding people here from my world was a reassuring thing.

[She nods and grumbles, just a little. She doesn't want to show complete dissatisfaction, it wasn't all bad.]
I do. Before I was brought here, my main work was in politics. So there were times where I had to attend such parties too, especially after I started living with my second guardian.
