"Right." Hayato agreed with a nod. Not that he particularly cared about most of that sort of stuff, but he intended to go.

"And its not like you have to buy one even if you fond out where they are made."

"....I don't think you can just give someone one of those things. It carries certain...uh. It's not like a nice vase or a potted plant."

"I mean, why not?" Hayato asked glancing towards Shoan. "It's not like you had to give it to her in public."

"Though I suppose if you're really worried, you can wear it yourself."

"Oh I think I see your plan tricky Hayato-san. This is all part of some scheme to get me out of my honourable and practical beige and into a tiger suit. Well, consider yourself foiled Mantis-san. You will have to ask whichever samurai you end up with instead."

He glanced towards Shoan a sly smile on his lips. "As you say, Shoan-san."

"Mmmm... Animal costumes aren't really my thing." He said with a shake of his head. "So I'll pass on that."

"That's a shame, I would have been interested to see you attempt to be a sexy bug."

"I think you just want to see me in a sexy costume.... Bug or otherwise." Hayato teased in return.

"Though I'm kinda wondering when these costumes went from cute to sexy..."

Pause
"...Damn you're good Hayato-san, even without your costume."

"My sexy bug costume or a different one?" He asked with a smirk.

"Still though, I try." He added, offering a grin to Shoan.

Shaking her head with a quiet groan

"With or without the sexy bug costume, the trying is appreciated."

"Thanks." Hayato replied with a warm smile.

"You're like the older brother I would definitely fight all the time, but in a good way."

"I think it comes from being an actual big brother." He replied with a chuckle. "Still, thanks?"

"It is a great compliment, you have trained well as a big brother."

"Yeah." He chuckled softly and gave Shoan a playful nudge with his elbow. "I suppose I must be fairly good at it, it feels like I have picked up a few more little sisters then I had when I came here too."

Shoan nudges back, resisting the temptation to give the Wasp a full pointy elbow blow
"That's going to be hard to explain to your parents...."

"Father, I have expanded the family but not in the way you considered." He made a expansive gesture with one hand while keeping his hand on the wheel.

"You now have three new daughters, and I have three new little sisters! And oh! There's a fourth one because I got married too." He paused a moment. "Think he'd be ok with it?"

"Mmmmhm, well I don't know Tsuruchi-sama. Still, we could all go live in one of the summer houses?"
Cocking her head
"....This is probably the premise of a show on the Ikoma network."

"Probably." He agreed with a faint smirk. "Probably one of those romantic comedies...." Did they do romantic comedies in Lion space? Or was it all just war flicks and propaganda.

"He'd probably just give me a disgruntled look and send me away though."

"....Even more like a romantic comedy! But in the end we would win him over with our odd set of skills which surprisingly save the day in the end. I would...well if I had an esoteric skill I'd use it."
