The group's nerves were already on the edge, they were fighting a losing war and Lazarus was the last line for Japan, it could be said that the HQ could've gotten an advance warning somehow, but what's done is done. The black haired man nodded as she spoke about her speculations on Mizuki's advancements and whether or not she was worth keeping around. Takashi also watched as Kumiko did her exercises, she was quite fit and had a strange type of appeal, but due to her mannerisms, he just saw her as "one of the guys." And there was nothing wrong with that, at least that was what he thought.<br/><br/>Then she asked him what he thought of her. While Takashi pondered, he commandeered one of the pull up bars, jumping up, initially catching himself with both hands. He took his left hand off, gripped his wrist and began doing one-armed pull ups. Then, when he knew what he wanted to say, he spoke in between each pull up,<strong>"I agree with you... on some points. She could've chosen another... way to get here, but maybe... she was forced to do the whole... convoy thing."</strong>Then he addressed the sex appeal issue she had mentioned,<strong>"Perhaps she did... use her appeal to... get ahead. I want to... give her the... benefit of the doubt... but there is always... that issue."</strong>Takashi's left hand came off of his wrist and went back on the bar as he now took his right hand off the bar and put it on his wrists, beginning doing the same exercise with his left arm. He continued speaking,<strong>"I just hope... that she doesn't try... that shit with me. It wouldn't... work with me... I'm more of a leg... guy myself anyways."</strong>A few seconds after he finished, he dropped from the bar and wiped the sweat from his head and chest. Takashi's body was well crafted to be a soldier. There wasn't an area he was weak in, his legs, arms and torso were all constructed well but there wasn't muscle where it was unnecessary, a six-pack was visible but not overly defined. He learned at a young age that excess muscle was not useful to a soldier so he kept his diet well, weighing 68kg (~150lbs) at five foot ten inches.<br/><br/>Takashi left and went to get two water bottles, opening one for himself and taking a swig of it, then offering the other to Kumiko. He spoke,<strong>"What I suggest we do is give her a chance and see if we can trust her as much as we can with each other, and that takes time."</strong>Then he smirked reassuringly,<strong>"Until then, we go our pace and take things one at a time, no?"</strong>
