The boy did what came naturally and bent down as soon as he heard the bat overhead. Fear of getting swarmed took him over before he felt safe again.<br/><br/>He became glad that they didn’t came after him. But that dread soon returned when his grandfather spoke up. Rakutsu wanted to argue, but he knew the drill by now. No wouldn’t be taken for a answer.<br/><br/>Rakutsu tried to listen for the bat in the dark and sneak closer to it, so it wouldn’t be scared off.<br/><br/>Stealth: 12 (https://elliquiy.com/forums/dicebot.php?r=155806)<br/><br/>Perception: 12 (https://elliquiy.com/forums/dicebot.php?r=155807)<br/><br/><hr/><br/>”Relax. She’s just going to come over to talk then leave. Shouldn’t be that long.” He didn’t pay much mind to the concern regarding sleeping arrangements. It was just a short visit. That’s all.<br/><br/>”Other then her being one of the few classmates I don’t find annoying, not really.” Rakutsu finished off his dinner before getting ready for Amrita’s visit.<br/><br/><hr/><br/>”Thank you for introductions. Bye.” He pushed Amrita into the house and all the way to his room. Not before stopping to grab a box of cheez-it’s and a juice box.<br/><br/>”People just naturally think that when a girl and boy walk into a bedroom, by themselves.” Annoying, but true. Can’t really say that for himself since this is the first time a girl got into his room. One that isn’t his mother, at least. Rakutsu placed the snack on his desk for her to grab.<br/><br/>”Well, I finished up Ghost of Tsushima and Demon Souls not too long ago. Downloaded Luigi’s Mansion too since I didn’t play it when it first came out. A Karen tried to steal the PS5 after I bought it, but I kicked her snatch in.” He waited a few moments for her to let that sink in. ”I’m not playing. These hands are rated E for everyone.”<br/><br/>He allowed her to sit on his bed and he grabbed his desk chair to sit across from her. It didn’t surprise him that she wanted to talk about Amy. She’s the cause of the current problems within the team. Aside from his investigation into Feral and the recent Stormer attacks. The reality crash did a lot to them, but she was so fixated on her privacy that it annoyed him. But that wasn’t the problem here. Or not the one Amrita wanted to address, at least.<br/><br/>Rakutsu didn’t know much about Amy’s pass incident, but he did hear rumors. He didn’t believe she intended to scam anyone, unlike everyone else. Her character wasn’t like that. But he didn’t do anything that wasn’t beyond being a reliable classmate. That wasn’t enough. Not anymore.<br/><br/>”Amrita…..” He muttered, feeling his usual stoic expression become shattered by the tears. Getting up out the chair, he walked over to his desk and grabbed a tissue for her. To wipe the tears away.<br/><br/>”Just…..don’t leave her. Forget about all the bullshit going on around us. The powers, villains, the broken city we live in. I’m not happy about her resistance involving your telepathy, but that’s not the issue here. You just….need to keep being her friend. On her side. Doesn’t matter if she doesn’t want to stay on the team, but don’t abandon her because of it. Even if she tries pushing people away.” He didn’t really know how to talk about these sorts of things. So he just said what made the most sense. Even if it was very childish.<br/>
