When he first entered that room to see his perspective cat-girls companions for the first time, Akira had every intention of making the most of that little encounter. He was prepared to look for every little hint in their eyes and stance... he wanted to interpret every invisible twitch of their expressions so as to assess as best as he could their feelings about going to stay with him. That was his idea and he was prepared to keep the highest level of attention and deductiveness possible on that meeting...<br/><br/>That was then. Now, half-buried under soft and eagerly happy Skuld-ness and feeling a plethora of little blissful shivers running down his spinal cord, those last due to Maleena's claws gently scratching the back of his neck... well he had to admit to himself that chances seemed to be in favour of the two being happy of him. He tried to smile, but Maleena's ministrations quickly turned the smile into a little chuckle.<br/><br/>He felt the blood run to his ckeeks and make them ember red... and then Skuld's lips planted a soft kiss on his left one, making his heart skip a beat, actually. Akira was really happy... a good start was something he really hoped for. A good start would give the three of them the initial momentum with which they could hope to face the bumps and adversities that destiny would probably have in store for them... and well, if not destiny then his grandfather... Akira was dead sure that the old man was planning something on him... and nothing pleasurable probably.<br/><br/>But that thought lasted only a few seconds in Akira's mind.. he was the kind of person to face trouble when it presented itself and not make his own life too sour with bad omens. He looked at Skuld's face, mere inches from his own and smirked... then he glanced to Maleena and - with an heroic effort on his part due to the shivers - the smirk became a full-fledged smile.<br/><br/>He actually hugged Skuld. It was a warm, friendly hug.<br/><br/>"Hungry? Oh yes..." he mused "..I guess it is dinner time. Yes, I am a bit hungry, Skuld."<br/><br/><br/><br/>
