Great...

Reiku felt even more uncomfortable than before, unable to conjure up an immediate response. Deryn was the first to speak, but she too appeared to feel the same, taking note of the slight disturbance of flow when she spoke.

"I...guess I don't have have a problem with that..." Reiku said with a hint of shyness in his voice.

Noticing that Amet had been examining him, Reiku kept a neutral expression drawn on his face and looked back at his purple-haired partner, whose actions, in Reiku's opinion, seemed a little...off.

"You can do a better job than that, dude," Reiku thought as his piercing gaze meeting his. "Hiding something shouldn't be very hard."

His crimson eyes shifted to Deryn, taking note of the half-mask covering most of her upper visage. Reiku knew that the decoration was more than just for show, and he was sure that the mask acted as some sort of psychological cocoon. But her appearance overall did a pretty good job at hiding her inner turbelence - the tight-looking cargo pants, exposed midriff, her flowing frost white hair - which was complimented by black and white feathers that seemed to blend in with her locks; one can describe her as being confident, strong and even a little badass.

He didn't want to Deryn to dismiss him as a pervert for looking at her, but that's not what bothered him. What did was the female voice not belonging to anyone he remembers (Reiku was sure of it) that had mysteriously found its way into his conscious.

''"Focus!" ''Reiku said to himself mentally. "That's not important right now. Just ignore her feathers and pay attention to what's ahead."

But those feathers...
