<span style="font-style: italic">"Don't mention it again. I don't have other questions. Just don't talk about it. I see why Ruki was so strange. We aren't strangers to... That, you know?"</span><br/><br/>Heck, neither was Blake... But why would he have to tell them that? He would have cursed himself for sharing his past with Haruki, but he had already drank with the guy, so the guy deserved a chance in the good books. Blake had managed to drown his past with sake and a positive outlook. Thus far, that has kept him going and not mourning for his loved ones. Having spilled the ugly truth, Blake did not wish to think on last night's event for another second... Damn it all, why didn't he make more sake?!<br/><br/>"I plotted to leave you in ignorance at least for sometime... Until this hunting game was nearing its conclusion. But it is too late to ask you that you pretend I did not tell you this..." He took his hand away, his sleeves long enough to hide his hands. "It's a shame you don't have any other questions... I had hoped you would be able to have me think on other things. Let's just get some food and get on our way." And with that statement, Blake turned to Nyoko with a more joyful smile. "Besides... I'm treating you and Haruki to some delicious food and my sake... Now why don't you show that smile of yours, hmm?"
