Haruka's eyes watered as the bowl of food was placed in front of her. She latched on to the chopsticks, quickly forcing the cooked noodles into her mouth. She was unaware and did not care that she must have looked as if she had not eaten in fathoms... Which was partially true. While in the Dictionary, she did not eat.<br/><br/>Slowly the words Kodama was saying, in answer to a question Haruka had been to busy eating to pay attention to began to filter past the flying noodles. "But...He's really nice! I think we might be staying for a while..." Haruka's eyes shot up at Kodama and then to Kenji, and then finally to the culprit asking the questions.<br/><br/>"We're distant family actually. That's why we don't really know him." Haruka blurted out, she didn't want this newcomer to question why they were staying with him, if he didn't know them. "But we wanted a chance to meet our extended family." She nodded as she chewed on the tip of a chopstick slowly, trying to gauge how much Ryoji believed any of the story they were haphazardly trying to weave.
