Fifteenth Flame : video; { brother from another mother... ?

[Rin is in the Golden Victory kitchen, though for once his apron is off. His hair is slightly damp, and he's dressed in something a little odd (the one in the center) compared to his usual work uniform. No, there's no costumes this month, but he has a legitimate reason for being in something that looks more like proper host attire.

He also doesn't look too happy, either.]

So I got to start my day off with a damn blender explodin' all over me. But y'know... that ain't what's got me so irritated.

I'm hearin' some odd grumblin' around the club today. What's this crap 'bout "another Okumura"? And why the hell is everyone tellin' this guy shit about me?!

[He'll just wait (im)patiently for your answers, Vatheon.]

[Huff!]

You don't know until you've tried it!

Well whatever. Maybe Ryuuji would like the idea.

[As in she'll just leave notes for people in their room anyway to say little greetings or encouraging bits of stuff.]

Trust me. He wouldn't.

[Popping back up with a container now!]

Maybe not from you.

[Yeah she went there.

But oh look container!]

Thanks! I haven't had beef in a while.

[She tends to nap through meal times and eat leftovers later, weird doggy habits and all.]

... you're awfully defensive of the guy.

[He says it as he starts moving the contents of the pan in to the container, giving Jade a curious look.]

He's my friend.

[That seems to be all there is to it for her, judging by her tone. She shrugs.]

Back in my world I lived on an island with just my dog and talked to Dave, John and Rose through a chat client for years. I didn't even learn that John was my brother until a lot later, I didn't meet them in person until a lot later too.

[And like she told him before, she had to witness the aforementioned Dave getting riddled with bullet holes from her own gun.]

Also--part dog, remember? Man's best friend, woof woof? Hehehe.

[He isn't going to push the matter after that. It just surprises him. He's used to being the one that gets attached quickly, not seeing others do it. Especially to some one like Bon.]

... yeah, that's true. Sorry, forget I said anything.

...What were you even saying, though?

[Too bad she doesn't want to drop it.]

... nothin'. Jus'... talkin'.

...[Rin.

She has that look.

She knows.]

My feelings for Ryuuji are platonic and it's the same for him. I am also not looking for a relationship considering I just got out of one back in my own world.

...Are you done with the beef yet?

... I didn't... say anythin' 'bout that...

[You may be the dog god here, Jade, but Rin has kicked puppy down to an art]

But you were thinking it.

[She's read enough mangoes to know!!!]

He's a nice guy, that is all there is to it.

For like... a second! I ain't that dumb! 'sides he's a monk anyway and damn near tears Shima a new one every time he goes off about pretty girls and snaggin' a girlfriend. I doubt he'd be that much of a-- hyp-- er... ...

whatever that word is.

[hypocrite, Rin.]

Hypocrite, Rin.

What's a monk? Does it have anything to do with those weird chants I hear him doing sometimes?

Yeah, that.

Pretty much. I guess religion isn't a big thing where you're from, huh?

...[Shrug!] I don't know! It might be? But like I said, I lived on an island by myself--excepting the company of my dog. Anything I know about it has been through books or TV.

Well... it might be somethin' you should ask him about. I'm still tryin' to get through the chapter on Buddhism in my World Religions book without my brain explodin'.

No...I probably shouldn't. I don't want to bother him. But you have a book on it? Do you think I could borrow your book some time?

[Oh god yes please take the books away from him.]

Tons. You can borrow whatever you want!

Whatever I want? Really?!

[She's not nearly as much of a book nut as others, but she's never read actual textbooks at her own level of age before. ~~Advanced science theory books definitely don't count for your average 15 year old.~~]

Yeah, of course! It ain't like I can really study for any exams here. Borrow 'em as long as you want!
