Riku let a quiet sigh of relief. Finally Renoa had backed and ran to sniff others. Riku took a sneaky peek at Torikai. He was also kind of proud and happy that she had not pursued her budding bout with the hellhound further or escalated it into something ugly. Then again maybe it was wrong to even think she would. In Riku's eyes Torikai seemed like a cultured fine lady, albeit with a prettier voice and more fluffy bits... well and maybe some other traits too, but basically she was for the most part a reasonably normal girl.<br/><br/>At the very least she was when compared to the other monster girls who were. Most of them were just off the charts weird in ways that a monster fan would not have anticipated. Sure a little cultural difference was to be expected. He would probably have been snickering at Renoa's aggressive doggy behavior too had she not been so mean, though thinking back on it maybe it had been too harsh to judge her so quickly. Like Torikai most of these poor little monsters were probably not yet fully used to all the intricacies the human society. It was the job of host families to try and help them with that, not to blame them for mistakes on their early journey towards becoming the pioneers of good and healthy monster-human relationships.<br/><br/>Riku looked around at the various little conversations going on around the table and looked for a moment where he might hijack. Something fluffy had to break his concentration though and almost made his tea cup spill on his lap at the surprise. Torikai tried to reach for something in the middle of the table, but in doing so she had to spread her wings reaally wide and far. The slight clumsiness of it looked honestly quite cute to Riku and he may have just enjoyed it were not for a few feathers tickling. "Hm hihi," he giggled quietly, but sat there nonetheless, enduring it for the brief moment it lasted.<br/><br/>She seemed just content to nibble on her food and wait for something. Riku was a bit saddened. He had wanted her to come here and make friends with other monsters instead of having an argument with the first one she met. To be honest he too had wanted to get to know people, but it would not work out like this. Riku gave the table a swift scan. People were still talking, but they would keep doing so. Now was as good a time as any.<br/><br/>"Ahem, ahem!" a little feminine figure coughed for attention as he stood up. He spoke with confidence, "Hey everybody. Why don't we properly introduce ourselves first? I'm Fukui Riku, and here's my tenant and new friend." Riku presented them the Torikai-chan, hoping he would introduce herself. "We met just yesterday, but we're already good buddies aren't we Torikai-chan? I was hoping maybe we could all get to know each other better too," Riku finished and maintained a smile and slowly sat down again.
