[knocking on the door of takeru's cabin and not bothering to wait for an answer as he pushes it open when it's unlocked]

Hey, Takeru, I--oh.

[excuse me what

who went after who now]

[blueondeck]

[You don't have some special connection to marvelous unless you want to mean the way he likes to feel you up]

[woodfortono]

[he likes to feel everybody up, that's not special

takeru totally went after me, though, is what i am saying here]

[blueondeck]

[Oh fine. He went after you. He made things awkward]

[woodfortono]

[good, blame him]

[blueondeck]

[It takes two to be awkward in this situation.]

[woodfortono]

[i'm not awkward! i'm fine!]

[blueondeck]

[You helped make it awkward.]

The other Samurai are okay with all of this?

[woodfortono]

[hesitates]

Dunno. Haven't really talked to them about it.

[blueondeck]

. . .

You should. He is their lord and it's really soon. Aren't the families like this suppose to clear a relationship with their parents or superiors first too?

[woodfortono]

And how are we supposed to do that? Even if my dad or Jii would care--and I don't think they would--it's not like they're here.

[he stills for a long moment, his face shuttered as he just looks down at his hands]

...I know it's soon. What am I gonna do if they're mad? [looking up at you, a little helplessly] Like, I don't know what I'd even... do.

[blueondeck]

I more meant Kaoru... but you will have to think of that too. I don't know what to tell you though. I haven't had parents in a very long time.

[woodfortono]

...oh.

[looking a little poleaxed]

D'you think I should have--I dunno, asked her first, or something?

[blueondeck]

I don't know what customs you're suppose to follow. [shrugging]
