[Rin looks surprisingly distant and thoughtful today. He's lacking his two usual modes - growling and pissed off or cheerful and derpy. He's just sort of... there.

As much as he wanted to believe it wasn't going to bother him, what Maka revealed is getting to him. And it's not even necessarily the relation to the other two that's bothering him. It's more the other questions he has on his mind.

But for the public post, he has a purpose aside from that.

Oh and he totally has a Kuro sleeping on his head]

Hey uh... if anyone wants any free lunches already made and you don't wanna bother with the lines at the restaurants today, I grabbed a buncha leftovers from the ball we had frozen and made some. I got way more than even everyone in the Villa is gonna eat, so I figured I'd just give 'em away.

[He holds one up. It's got a rather interesting assortment, not strictly Japanese since there was a pretty good assortment of cultures represented in the food at the masquerade. But whatever, they still look damn good. And Rin has enough bento boxes behind him on the counter to feed about twenty people. How the hell does he do that?

Aaand here comes the next part.]

video//filter//away from Amaimon and Mephisto

Also uh, if anyone sees this guy?

[Rin holds up a picture Amaimon.]

And he's harassin' you or whatever, just send him my away, okay? I'll deal with him.

[He pauses, then continues with with quite a bit of reluctance in his voice, with a tone of some one who is struggling to accept something but knows that he has to sooner or later.]

Just... just tell 'im "little brother" is lookin' for him.

That's it.

[He goes to turn off the SFC, but stops and frowns, switching the filter one last time.]

Oi. Clown.

We gotta talk.

Oh. He's a demon, too.

Did'ya see his two tails? That happens when a demon cat gets old enough. Their tails split. He's somethin' like... over a hundred, I think? My dad had him before I did.

Oh, I see... [To be honest, he didn't notice. Eheh...]

Does your demonic side come from your father ?

[Well he was kind of sleeping on Rin's head until a little bit ago.

And speaking of felines, Aurelio wiggles out of Rin's arms and jumps down, wandering in to the kitchen. Food time! =D]

... yeah.

What about you?

[True.

Cinnamon follows Aurelio. Will there be something to eat for him too ?]

My... father too... [More like, the thing that slept with his mother.]

[Rin only has cat food out (since Mephy never wants to eat regular dog food like a normal mutt when he's changed) so once he seems Cinnamon trailing along he goes and follows, motioning with a hand for Asato to come with him.

There's a line of stools against the bar side of the kitchen counter, and a few things left over from making the bento boxes on it. He picks up a piece of chicken and puts it on a plate, setting it down for the puppy.]

Hope that's okay. Figure it doesn't hurt to spoil 'em every now and then.

[He grins, pulling a stool around to sit on the other side.]

So... you get a lotta crap for it? Bein' half, I mean.

[Cinnamon happily jumps around Rin before sniffing the chicken piece and starting to eat it. He secretly wishes that his master will visit this place often.]

Ah, that's right ! Tatsumi makes sure that I don't spoil him too much so Cinnamon stays healthy.

[He smiles at the puppy and then goes to sit face to Rin.]

I was hated and rejected by my family and people feared me because of these. [He points to his eyes, their amethyst colour lightly shining in the light.] Children were especially cruel.

[Rin frowns in thought, actually knowing how that felt, but for different reasons.]

... kids can be asses. I didn't look any different, but I still got called "demon" anyway. I was angry all the time... did some real stupid shit and hurt a lotta people.

[Rin, can he hug you ?]

Did you ? I was mostly sad and alone but I was lucky to have the most wonderful sister. She taught me lots of things, especially dancing and gardening. [Of course, it ended badly. Very badly.]

[He's not against hugs, but he'd be very confused as to why he was getting hugged suddenly.]

... I'm sorry...

[Actually he kind of wants to hug Asato himself. At least he had Yukio, and Shirou and even the priests. Even if he didn't really have friends he still had someone, whatever the situation may have been.]

[One day, they'll hug.]

Thank you... [He smiles sadly and looks at Cinnamon happily eating his chicken. At least, he now has friends who care for him. And Tatsumi.]

After her death, my parents sent me to an asylum, I stayed eight years there.

[Yes.]

... what, like... a loony bin?

Ah... Yes...

... sure as fuck don't look crazy to me. Why'd you get thrown in there?

Mm... Because it seems I hurt a lot of people...

...

[O-oh.

Well. They have that in common.]

... s... sometimes it just happens! I... I know you're a good person, even if we just met! I hurt people too, but it ain't like I enjoyed it, and I'm pretty sure you didn't either!

[Rin, you're so sweet.]

Th-thank you... I believe that I do my best to pay for my sins... Thing is, I don't remember what happened.

[He will deny it forever.]

Probably a good thing... I wish I could forget sometimes...

[Fufufufu. Asato should tell Maka to remind him from time to time.]

Yes... But I'd also like to remember. [To know if he really killed his sister or not.]

[No never!]

... maybe... it's better to just live in the moment, yehknow? Not try to think 'bout it.

[Yes, always.]

It's what Tatsumi tells me too. He does not think that knowing the answers would make me feel better.

I... think he's right. Maybe it's like... your mind's way of tellin' you that you just gotta move on... ?

Yes, I suppose so...
