As he waited for any sort of answer from Hikari to the question he asked, Kuronotsurugi sat quietly, softly chewing on the inside of his cheek. It didn't take all that long for her to suggest that they go to the lake, but the time it had taken for her to think through her thoughts seemed to take forever, at least that's how he had felt. It had been quite some time since he'd been to the lake, just as it had been forever since he'd had any friends to go there with. He wasn't all that sure on how he felt on the idea, but it was something to do, and knowing him he knew there was no way he could come up with a better idea than that. So, he guessed they could go there. Who knew, it might even turn out to be really fun.<br/><br/>"Sure, we can go to the lake." He smiled a tiny bit, standing and stretching his arms above his head. If they were going to go, they might as well go now. Picking up the cup he'd been using, he places it back on the tray, as well as the one Hikari was using, once it was empty. Before he picks up the tray itself, he picks up the small bag that held kunai and such, and puts it on, along with his shuriken holder, deciding to leave behind his swords. To be honest he wasn't all that sure even what they would be doing at the lake, so decided to just go with the flow for now.<br/><br/>Taking the tray in to his hands, he gestures with Hikari to follow, and once she got up off the bed, headed out of the room, once more sealing it so that only he could enter, and then heading down the hall to the kitchen, dropping off the tray and tea set. He grabs a couple of things to snack on once they got there, placing them in his pack. Following this they left the house, Kuronotsurugi not bothering to tell anyone where he was going. He never did, and it wasn't like any of the members of the household actually cared or worried where he went, or what was happening to him. Harsh as it was, he actually preferred it this way, and they knew this as well. Glancing around as he stepped outside, not that many of the compound's residents could be seen.<br/><br/>Leading the way out of the compound, he then takes a path that he knew a lot of people didn't take, not feeling the mood of being bothered by anyone. He was quiet while they walked, side by side with Hikari, fidgeting with each step. This was not what he was used to, not in the least. He felt like at any minute he could jump out of his skin, that's how nervous he was. He kept glancing to the side at her, biting his lip unconsciously, clenching and unclenching his fingers, drumming them against his hip. Staring straight ahead, he clears his throat, before speaking up. "Uh, if you...if you want, you can ask me questions...I...I was wondering where you lived..." He then quickly puts his hands up, shaking them slightly. "If you don't want to answer that, it's fine..." He looks the opposite way, feeling like an idiot, inwardly punching himself.
