~<em>Splinter sitting at a table with Saki. D arriving and joining them</em>~<br/><br/>Splinter heard the sounds of Saki's phone and looked up. wondering who that might be, not seeing the new guy who was standing by the door, watching them. He smiled softly as Saki told him that he didn't wish for him to leave either. Though there was something about him that seemed different. A look of worry crossed Splinter's face as he watched Saki's eyes flash in a certain direction every now and then.<br/><br/>Eventually he looked that way and saw a man he hadn't met yet moving over to them from the front door. His gaze followed the man as he walked up next to Saki, placing a hand on his shoulder. The look on Saki's face said it all and immediately Splinter felt unsure and wary. He nodded and tried to keep his smile friendly as Saki introduced the two to each other. It was as he had suspected. It was the 'friend' Saki had told him about.<br/><br/>As the man addressed him he nodded and gave him a nervous smile. "N... nice... t... to m... meat... you... sir." Immediately his stuttering went back to the worse. Like always when he met new people. And he could already feel the power that this one radiated and he was not at all surprised over the fact that Saki had suddenly went very quiet. He saw Saki reach up and remove D's hand from his shoulder and he gazed at D quickly noticing the slight twitch in his lip.<em>Dangerous waters...</em>that's what this was. Splinter knew it, but he was really lost as to what he should do.
