Ayaka nodded, getting a little of her lost courage back. It had happened again: she had chosen to speak up, and this time something good - at least, she thought it was something good - had come out of it. Maybe she could do this, after all. At least this time she hadn't gotten fire shot at her for her trouble. .... although.... A sudden thought occurred to Ayaka, causing her to jump slightly and clap her hands over her mouth in shock. "Ah! Sorry! I'm sorry!" she gasped, abashedly half-looking in Tsutomegi's direction. "I didn't think, and here it was you that whole time... Ohhh, why did I do that?"

Flinching a little at Ayaka's sudden movement, Utsuro blinked as a thoroughly confused look permeated his features. What was she apologizing for? Why did she do WHAT? "...uh..uhmm...w-what?"

Ayaka sighed, sinking down into the booth with a guilty expression. It was bad enough that she'd done it to that Ichi fellow, who then turned right around and helped her, but to Tsutomegi, who hadn't even been awake for the incident? "Well... that is..." she began hesitantly. "Does your... head... hurt at all?"

Why would she be feeling bad about his head? It felt a little bruised, but.. "I....well...did just...fall off... a building, apparently..but the medics..." Utsuro was fast becoming even more confused than he had been. And that was saying something. He could not even gaze down far enough to not be witnessing the guilty look on her face. "Did...something....happen?"

Well. She'd said this much; of course he'd want to know what happened. "I... that is..." Ayaka began, then sighed, shook her head, and started over. "He was wrecking things and making a lot of noise," she finally said, making it clear which 'he' she meant, "and then I tried to stop him but he wouldn't stop, so I... well... I sort of got mad, and... "Y'know that piece of fence I was carrying around? I... kind of threw it at him... and, well... it hit your head..."

He was silent for a time, hand shifting back to sift through his hair, fingertips finding a slightly tender spot that the medics had not fully healed. Ichiyuumaihi had rampaged...or started to at least...and had gotten a piece of fence...that had no doubt been part of a complete fence before said rampage...right to the cranium. Utsuro chuckled. It was quiet, of course, and a little gravel-y. But it was a chuckle none the less, as he lowered his hand back to the tabletop. "He......probably deserved it.."

Ayaka blinked at Tsutomegi, more than a little taken aback at his reaction. She hadn't been sure what to expect when she confessed to hitting him in the head with a piece of a fence, but laughter - from him, of all people! - hadn't figured into the possibilities. So was she okay to assume this meant he forgave her? She felt herself straightening up a little; it was a relief that he wasn't angry with her. Upon his comment about the Ichi fellow probably deserved it, Ayaka lapsed into a thoughtful expression, as though trying to decide whether to pin the blame on him or her. Finally, she just decided to tell the truth: "Well... it was a piece of a fence he had just smashed with a pipe..."

"That....does not surprise me..I shall....have to make...proper restitution.." He nodded softly. "Assuming...I can find the location.....and...accrue appropriate funding.." Money. Yet another item on the long list of things he had difficulty with. "Is there......anything else?"

From the corner of her eye Ayaka could see 'Hero Boy' giving Tsutomegi an odd look, and Ayaka really couldn't blame him. Where on earth had those fancy words come from? Her companions just kept showing themselves to be stranger and stranger the longer she was around them. Of course, she herself had always been the odd one out, so she supposed she should feel relieved. Instead she just felt... normal. Almost. Which was actually kind of disconcerting, really. But... anything else? Just what did he mean by that? "That was the only thing I hit him - you? - with, if that's what you mean..." she offered after a moment's thought.

The looks he received had not gone unnoticed, as an embarrassed look overtook his face. "G-gomen...I....my way of speaking....is strange to others....I try to speak more casually..but...old habits are...not easy to overcome." He paused for a moment, clearly thinking. "I meant....did you....either of you...have...anything else to say....ask..so forth..It is..getting late...Takeo-sama, your parents might be worried....and Ayaka-san...you should be... resting after the day you had.." He did not mention, of course, that he was hoping they were finished, as it was not a topic he enjoyed discussing in any shape or form, and had every intention of hiding under a blanket for the rest of the night.

...... oh. Anything else to ask, hm? Well, since the Ichi character had lost Tsutomegi's other shirt, he - they? - had been running around in that odd-looking one made of what appeared to be net. It wasn't much of a shirt at all, since it didn't hide much, and she had been wondering.... "That shirt...." she began a little awkwardly, blinking thoughtfully before finally deciding to just go ahead and ask. "Aren't you cold?"

He supposed there was no one else to blame other than himself for THAT one. He HAD said 'anything'. And he had almost forgotten about the ludicrous excuse for clothing. Almost. Utsuro's face picked up a tint of color, though not in a good way, and he drew his arms around himself. "N-n-no.." He stammered softly, while thoroughly embarrassed, still trying to answer the question. "I...spent a good deal of time...sleeping outside....when and where I could.....temperatures and weather rarely bother me.."

Ayaka-chan just nodded, seeming to accept the answer for what it was, but Takeo was a little confused. That tiny, quiet girl throwing planks at a Tsutomegi who had been taken over by an alternate personality, and then Tsutomegi wearing a fishnet shirt - exposing what seemed to be a very painful history - and the girl asks him, not about that, but if he's cold? .... just what kind of people had he gotten caught up with? But they were fun, and he liked being around them, so why did it matter? Still... "What happened to your other shirt, anyways?" Takeo asked, yawning mid-sentence. He'd gotten a workout today too, leading Tsutomegi around. "Did Ichi-chan decide it wasn't his style?"

"I...do not know.." He admitted, casting a sideways glance at Ayaka-san. Perhaps she did, she HAD been there...though..it was certainly a slightly embarrassing question to be asking. "But...that is....most likely the case...But...it is of little importance....I should...let you two get some rest.."

Ayaka shrugged. "I'm pretty sure he took it off," she stated simply, "but I don't know why. Can't you just ask him?" "As for that whole rest thing..." Hero Boy put in. "Yeah, maybe we should get going..."
