The Gemini Twins "We don't hang out with anyone and we certainly won't hang out with you." (also fting Sagittarius) ⇀↠ 〤 ↞↼
Bored, calculating blue eyes looked up from their phones at the good morning to them. Eyes narrowed slightly and traded glances before looking back over to the others. It should have been figured into their plan, that it would be Scorpio whom was one of the first to awaken as well as Pisces. The twins weren't exactly fond of being around others, but they respected Kohaku enough to not fully go after him if he hadn't bothered them. As for Haru, they gave her a bit of respect since there was slight guilt at their main diet being seafood. Since her sign was literally the fish, it was something that they tended to try and be a little respectful about. While they rarely had any respect for those around them, there were some lines that were not crossed.
"Ohayōgozaimasu," both stated to the female, not really responding to Kohaku that much in return for his good morning, considering they found it pointless since he was going in the kitchen anyways. No use to talking to someone whom wasn't there and wasn't giving you his attention.
Katashi and Satoshi weren't ones for conversation too much, though they had been growing a bit more on that. Since they had started going to high school and living in this house together (it had only been a mere year since everyone had been put together in the House of Celestia), they had been gradually more and more tolerant with the other zodiacs, seeing that they were all similar, yet so vastly different. Of course, they all grew up knowing each other and living in the general same area, but even so... there was still a wall between the twins and others, it had seemed.
Their torment towards regular people at the high school, however, seemed completely inhumane. Horrible tricks of the mind as well as pranks were what they were known for and they were not entirely well liked due to their attitude. They were not nice, they didn't "play" nice and they were not very open. Their attitudes were a bit snobby and they looked down upon others, especially if a comment about them was made while they were keenly listening. Of course, the worst of their torment came from when someone mixed them up. Quiet boys whom had quite a bit of pride, whom stuck to themselves tended to create an air of mystery. Like a large feline, a tiger if you would, they were good looking as the Celestial blood made sure of, as they were half divine beings. Not a blemish upon their smooth, soft skin or such thing as a bad hair day with their gingery auburn colored short locks. It wasn't uncommon for them to catch the admiring eye of a girl. They had the look of a celebrity and the funds of one too, but their attitude and mentality lacked incredibly so. Harsh, cruel, cold and cunning, they weren't really ones to mess with.
"We're going to be leaving early for school today." It wasn't uncommon for them to speak at the same time. It was a part of their bond and years of practice. Speaking at the same time with the exact same tone. Their bonds went beyond that of humanly possible, which mixed into their Celestial blood. "It's your turn to go shopping today."
Standing up, the Gemini twins gave a soft stretch, once again, in synchronized movements as if they were one of the same person. Sometimes they liked that, sometimes they didn't. Their bond made them close, going at endless lengths to keep the other safe, and yet, it always hurt when someone wasn't able to tell them apart. The soft mumbling of Hotaru could easily be heard from the kitchen as he gently denied any help.
"Ah! It's fine, it's fine! I've got it for now!" It was the same thing he typically told everyone when he was the one cooking on week-days. "It's my turn to be cooking for you all, along with the other two! I don't have anything to do! Take this time to study up on any exams you might have, it's fine!" It was almost annoying, to the twins, at how much the boy wanted to help everyone else out. Of course, he had so much free time that they found it almost obligating for him to help out. And be assured, the twins always made sure to use him to their advantage by complaining that they need to study or do homework, in which, Hotaru would always be conned into doing their work for them of the day.
"We're running low on our food," one of them stated, moving to lean on the other, his arms wrapping around his shoulders and resting his chin on his twin's left shoulder, his feline eyes staring straight at the female. There was a cautious tone to his voice, as if he were being careful on what he was trying to mention. It wasn't that hard to guess what they typically ate, being that they were feline in every way possible.
"So we won't be eating at home today. Don't expect us to be around too much upon meal-time." At first, they would just disappear without a care when they all moved in together, as required for a part of their adult training or whatever it was. They hadn't cared much nor bothered with it. The House of Celestia was created to keep the team together. It was their job to take care of multiple things, to watch out for issues and darkness that plagued humans and help them out. To stand up against greater threats than humans could handle by themselves. The elder twin, Katashi, shifted his weight, Satoshi leaning on him being something like a second nature to him, the added weight not phasing him in the least. "Don't feel obligated to get us anything from the market. We'll do just fine on our own today. Tomorrow, we'll pick up some more things." It was one of their ways of trying to be nice and respectful. A step in the right direction, at least.

“Yeah, why not?” Natsumi had replied when it was suggested that they all get breakfast together, before heading through to the kitchen along with Kitamura and Kuga. She gave a quick greeting to the twins but decided to follow Kitamura to go and see Hotaru. Why not? She had nothing better to do, she needed breakfast, and the twins were not the most social people to talk to. She decided to leave Kuga to deal with them.
Her hair was also a little bit messed up from her collision with Pisces and Scorpio, so she quickly smoothed it down again before she joined Hotaru and Kitamura. She couldn’t stand it being messy.
She could hear Hotaru pushing away Kitamura’s help, and so Natsumi stepped in.
“Nonsense, Taru-chan, we’re not busy and the others aren’t here yet. We might as well help you.”
She understood Hotaru’s need to deny assistance, especially when it was at the inconvenience of others; she was exactly the same. But she figured that he was going to need some help at that moment. He didn’t appear to have as much pep as usual - he’d probably not had the greatest morning and so if there was ever a time the male should accept help, it would probably be now.
Washing her hands so she could help out, she looked over her shoulder at Hotaru.
“So, we all heard you screaming this morning - no need to apologise, by the way, it wasn’t your fault. I take it Gemini were involved?”
She didn’t say this loud enough to incur the wrath of the twins, however. She liked them, of course, but she wasn’t incredibly appreciative of their antics. But then again, was anyone really?
She found that she liked everyone in the house for one reason or another - Natsumi was like that - but some she admittedly liked a little less than others. The twins were two of those people. She found them difficult to talk to and understand because they kept to themselves so much. But no matter, they were okay really, Natsumi liked them if she were honest, she just found them harder work sometimes.
She was insisting now on helping Hotaru, just because he was a nice person and he needed help and a little bit because she saw aspects of similarity between herself and him.
(Super short, but busy, but I found time to reply)

Pisces "Be whoever you want to be." erratic, mysterious, alluring, talented — ♔ ♔ ♔ —
“We’re going to be leaving early for school today,” they spoke harmoniously. “I see.” Tucking a stray strand of her hair away to the without losing repose, she calmly added, “be careful on your way there, the both of you.” “It’s your turn to go shopping today.” “That it is. Is there anything else the two of you need?”
‘Else.’ It was a word that expressed a great deal, mainly because she was more than well aware of what exactly the twins needed and understood their diet: the word that started with a f. No, not the curse, that was inappropriate by all means (and how on Earth were you supposed to physically digest spoken or written words?), but the word that started with a f and ended with a sh. To that end, something that rhymed with dish and wish. Normally, she was capable of saying the word without a moment of hesitance, but involving it with the context of someone needing it as a source of food was a little different. It was a word she refused to say in a situation such as this, because it evoked a series of rather lurid images in her mind; she couldn’t help it, it wasn’t like she really wanted the ghastly images in her head.
By all means, to some extent, she appreciated the fact that f-word (oh dear, that sounded strange out of context) could be of help and strengthen those who desired it as a part of their diet, but imagining the round, glossy, and vacant eyes of their corpses was a genuinely horrifying nightmare - something that she didn’t exactly want to ponder over for too long on a Monday morning, so she shook it off to the best of her capabilities with a small shake of her head.
In any case, she was more than willing to grab whatever Katashi and Satoshi needed - especially if the object in question was related with their studies in school and even more so if they suddenly appeared with a friend and were in need of balloons for a karaoke party of some sort. If that were to happen, she would spend the whole house’s damn money on cakes and snacks and movie tickets if she had to; as unfortunate as it seemed, a chance like that would most likely not arise again, if it ever did in the first place. After all, it didn’t take a prodigy to understand that, as oddly charming and handsome as they were, the Gemini twins weren’t the most sought out individuals when it came to companionship.
As her thoughts briefly rested on the two, she found her dark brown orbs dancing over to rest on their forms as they gave a synchronized and catty stretch. They were truly feline, those two (good thing most cats didn't naturally hunt fish, otherwise she supposed that she'd be having nightmares of felines in her dreams, as endearing as they were to her human side).
But even so, she realized, even if the object that she had to fetch was a bag of fish, it was something that Pisces was willing to do. She wouldn’t be there to enjoy the meal for that day, but if it was going to aid the Celestial house and allow most of them to relish a dinner with a favored dish for one night, there was no avoiding it - or rather, she had decided that she did not want to avoid it, albeit how violently appalled the Celestial side of her reacted to the thought. She could already feel a small chill running down her spine at the notion, but for her, as Kuga Haru, their contentment and health came above everything else. Besides, it was the idea of superfluous garbage and degraded plastic spread over millions of square miles across the ocean that truly disconcerted her - she could forcibly pass off the notion of a meal as something that would aid them in supporting other individuals and civilians in the long run. At least, that was what she told herself. Oil spills and water pollution together, though were a different story. Oh, it was complicated.
“We’re running low on our food… Don't feel obligated to get us anything from the market. We'll do just fine on our own today.” Most of their words slipped past her ears, but when she finally did hear what the rest of their words, she found herself raising her head to glance over at them once more with her dark, veiled eyes. “Are you sure? I wouldn’t mind-…” Her voice, however, trailed off a little as the harrowing thoughts trickled back in her mind, and she sat down on the edge of the couch, near yet still far away from where the twins were, enough to make her presence feel meek instead of a nearby threat. Disguising the action with a deft and purposeful motion of her hands that soon smoothed out the wrinkles of her clothes, she drew a fortifying breath, which was barely noticeable alone. When she raked her hand through her hair once more as she heard: Tomorrow, we'll pick up some more things. “On second thought, that sounds good,” she answered with a weak hint of a smile (maybe she’d slowly train herself to be able to visit fish markets later on instead of trying to dive headfirst into the matter adamantly), “try not to come back too late, though, all right? If you need anything by today that you may not find in time on your own, make sure to call one of us."
This was why she thought she was getting old; she found that the level of her worry was increasing, and so was her subconscious attachment to the wellbeing of all the zodiacs gathered here. Which, mind you, only increased her concern another degree. Don't act alone, don't come back too late, make sure you packed lunch or have enough money. Thankfully, for most of their mercy, her fussiness was spread out instead of concentrated, coming in subtle quips and reminders, and, most importantly, more often than not difficult to perceive specifically because it was conveyed mystifyingly. Well, it was most of the time, anyway.

Sagittarius "Someday I'll be strong enough to hug the entire world, so then everyone will be happy."
━ ★ ❀ ✿ ♞ ❀ ✿ ★ ━
"Ah, no. No thank ya, but I would like to do this m'self. Everyone had their turn bein' the cook," Hotaru insisted with a cheerful voice, scratching the back of his head lightly with a small chuckle, shifting his weight a little. "I may be clumsy, but I can make ya whatever ya'd like! Today I was planning on makin' grilled fish an' miso soup with some rice. I'll have nori for the rice an' then I'll chop up some fruits for ya. It's really nothin' I can't handle m'self." He always liked to do things himself to prove that he could do them without help. Of course, he usually ended up asking for help anyways, but he just enjoyed the thought of trying. Each attempt was a closer step to getting better, each time he did it, whatever it was, he'd do it better than the last time. Learning from his mistakes, he tended to catch on somewhat quickly. Of course, he was more of an out-doors kind of guy who did better in open spaces rather than closed spaces.
Sagittarius was one of those weird zodiacs that loved, and I mean he loved his Celestial form. Most thought it was a curse, and sure, it could be thought of that way. To be hugged by another that is the opposite gender meant immediate transformation and that typically wasn't the greatest. Scorpio was half scorpion, he himself was half horse, Gemini were part cat, Aquarius was made up of completely water, Pisces was half fish, Capricorn was a humanoid goat, Cancer was part crab, Leo was somewhat of a lion, Taurus was part bull, Aries was part ram. Libra and Virgo were the only ones who weren't really in too much trouble, but even then, Libra still had a part of an animal as her Celestial form. Yet, Sagittarius was the one whom loved his Celestial form the most out of them all. He'd go for gallops on the trials outside no matter the weather. Every morning, every evening and every chance he basically got, he was out in the forest, running around and playing.
"I would prefer it if ya give me some space, please." Hotaru waved his hands a bit as if he was trying to gently usher them out of the kitchen. "The less people in 'ere, the less chance I have of messin' somethin' up an' breakin' somethin'." His accent certainly was unique and a bit adorable, being that his mother was American and his father was Japanese. Funny enough, he showed mostly traits of the American side of him, though the roots of his mother he never got to know. He learned both English and Japanese with ease, but had that sort of weird accent in his voice that he couldn't shake off.
Straightening up his make, the male tilted his head and frowned a little at the question towards the twins. Shaking his head, he denied it and turned back to the stove, which he had turned on and began to grab a large pot and put some water in it to let it boil at a low temperature. His sea-colored gaze went to the girl whom was of the Virgo zodiac, blinking a bit with a bit of a... unreadable expression. It wasn't bad, but he wasn't smiling either.
"If that had been anybody else, that woulda hurt 'em real bad. The hot water was shut off an' then as I was tryin' ta fix it, the cold water shut off. I ain't gonna point fingers, 'cause I don't know who it was an' I didn't hear no snickerin' like I usually do when them twins are up ta somethin'," Hotaru's expression softened and he gave a small sort of chuckle as he looked down that the water, which was about eight cups of water that was put into it. He grabbed the nori and added it into the mixture, which was two sheets of the dried seaweed. Focused on the miso soup first, of course. He was going to make another large pot that was strictly vegan friendly, as the sushi in it was not entirely something he nor Haru would be able to eat. He imagined that Cancer wouldn't be able to bring himself to eat such a thing either. "Say, I made quite a mess in the bathroom since I fell out an' all. I can help ya with that later on if that'd help ya calm down 'bout helpin' me 'ere in this kitchen. I can at least make miso soup m'self." Of course, that was that signature Sagittarius grin from him, as if that was his way of saying "daijoubu", that everything would be fine.
He could hear the twins talking in unison outside of the kitchen and felt like everything would be safe for him as long as he stayed cooking. They wouldn't be here long anyways, they said they were going off on their own. Of course, one of the rules given to them was to be cautious about leaving alone in groups that were less than three. Sure, it might be the Gemini twins but there were some pretty nasty people out there that were out to get them. The Celestial zodiacs weren't immortal, they didn't exactly live forever. Why else would these young adults be standing here if so? They were only half Celestial, the other half of them being human. Even so, they were not human. Wait, he had a question for everyone. Were the twins gone yet?
"Matte! Matte! Chotto matte kudasai!" the seventeen year old called out from the kitchen, giving a soft "sumimasen" to the others in the kitchen to peek out at the twins. "Would ya please stay for at least breakfast? It's a bit cold outside right now an' I was gonna ask everyone 'bout somethin' I saw the other day... would'ja please stay at least until I'm done cookin' 'ere?"
The twins hadn't even begun to move towards the door and stared at Hotaru with a blank expression that made his face heat up a bit, looking down and playing with his fingers. "Well, I mean, I thought ya were leavin' so I thought-"
"You thought wrong. There is no point in leaving so early and having to deal with everyone else, baka."
Did... they always have to speak in unison? Hotaru gave a nervous chuckle and rubbed the back of his neck, a small habit he had formed at some point in his life. He could never tell them apart, which bothered him. But it seemed like they didn't trust anyone to ever let them call them out individually and he could only hear of the stories of how they were at school.
"Ah, gomenasai. Even so, would'ja like to try-"
"Da-me."
Oh. That was an immediate shut down. Then again, it was the Gemini twins, so he couldn't have expected much.
"Are ya sure, 'cause I-"
"Da-me." The twins always spoke at the same time. If only there was a way to somehow replicate that. It was inhuman and uncanny how well they talked and moved together in perfect synchronization. They both just sort of continued to stare at him, their gaze seeming to rip directly through him and give him a bit of a chill down his spine.
"Why would we? You don't cook well," one of them stated, leaning to the right with a shrug. "I'm surprised that you are allowed in the kitchen at this point," the other one stated, leaning to the left with a shrug.
They always were in synchronization, weren't they...? Even when speaking separate, they moved as mirror images that reflected the other, finishing the other's sentences and thoughts. It both scared Hotaru and mystified him. It was like watching a wild large cat hunt. Beautiful, yet terrifying. You could never tell with those twins. Oh no, there was that stare that went through him as they both stood up straight.
"Hotaru," they stated, pointing at the kitchen. "You forgot to check on your miso soup."
With a small realization, the Sagittarius zodiac quickly darted back into the kitchen to make sure everything was fine. He heard the snickering from out there and let out a soft breath, happy that he hadn't messed it up. Everything was fine, as the water and nori were still simmering. Those twins... Hotaru ran a hand through his hair and focused on chopping up the green onions and green chard, getting out the last bit of sushi, whispering a soft "gomenasai" as if the dead fish could hear him.
Hotaru was completely focusing on the soup and making breakfast now, which meant he wasn't really up for listening to anyone else or talking. "I'm gonna focus on cookin' now, so please leave me be if ya aren't suppose ta be cookin' today. Thank you."

The Gemini Twins "We don't hang out with anyone and we certainly won't hang out with you." (also fting Sagittarius) ⇀↠ 〤 ↞↼
What a fool, that Sagittarius was. Interrupting their conversation with Haru in such a loud and obnoxious manner over something pointless that would be absolutely unreasonable to do. While they didn't like socialization much, they preferred other zodiacs over humans by a landslide. At least they didn't have to worry about being judged for their Celestial form, they could be bumped into or, heavens forbid, hugged without having to worry about transformation. They could use their abilities as they pleased here and were safe here. Celestial beings were annoying, but the twins preferred their company so much more than that of regular humans. Being forced to shift wasn't exactly the best feeling ever.
"It's our turn to go shopping tomorrow, we'll pick up whatever we need then," Satoshi stated, continuing their conversation with Haru as if nothing had happened, thankful that the seventeen year old had fallen for their trick that he was burning or ruining something. The sound of a knife chopping things up meant that he was busy. Good. Then again, Hotaru unsupervised with a knife... that made him a bit nervous. Hopefully no one was stupid enough to leave him alone for too long or else they'd have to step in. As much as they seemed like they didn't care, a part of them did.
"No need to be noble and try to force yourself to go to our side of the market. You don't see us looking for delicacies of cooked cats, do you? You would be a fool to force yourself to go near that area." Katashi's tone had a slight hint of annoyance to it, yet, it was his general way of trying to be respectful and polite, not knowing why she would try to bother with such things as their diets. Being feline Celestial beings, their diet was definitely influenced by their Celestial blood and zodiac animal that they were a part of.
Exchanging glances, Katashi and Satoshi seemed to be sharing the same thought. They wouldn't be beyond these limits for people they didn't know nor didn't care about, but for other zodiacs, they had a sort of respect. Of course, they didn't show too much of it by being off in their own little world, but even so, these were the ones, at least some of them, that accepted them. As a pair, but it was more than what most humans were like towards the two.
"What are you, our mother? Baka ne, we already have one," they both stated with a dismissal tone towards her slight fretting at to be back by a certain time. They waved their hands as if dismissing the worry with an indifferent look to their faces. Satoshi leaned on Katashi once again, his chin resting in its usual spot upon the elder twin's shoulder. "We aren't stupid, of course we'll be back before dark."
"We aren't children," Satoshi stated with a small huff. If he was in his Celestial form, his tail would have lashed a bit. "No need to treat us as such," Katashi agreed, the same annoyed tone in his voice.
"We're twins after all, what's the worst that could happen?" With a small chuckle, their gazes locked, they both wrapped their arms around the other's waist and a confident hum, glancing back at Haru. "We're always together, of course we'll fine, obaasan." Just another one of their teasings, of course. But even so, they gave a slight snicker towards her.

Pisces "Be whoever you want to be." そしてね、君たちのためなら大丈夫。 erratic, mysterious, alluring, talented — ♔ ♔ ♔ —
The term 馬鹿 was fine, but お祖母さん?
Well, she supposed that was all right. It hadn’t been the first time she’d heard that, anyway, considering the fact that there was also Scorpio who had referred her as something similar, albeit with a less direct choice of words back in the day. A year ago, if she had been the same age as the twins were currently, she imagined that her reaction would’ve been a little more disastrous to say the least; it would’ve most certainly encompassed a considerable wave in the house and a stampede of squealing pigs. The thought almost made her amused, and she leaned back in her seat a little while crossing one leg over the other in a relaxed position. Perhaps she’d have to give it a try one day (she definitely wasn’t, she was too old now for substantial mischief such as that. At least, she thought she was). Still, the absurd trail of imagination helped; she could feel some of the early tension in her shoulders dissipate.
“A fool I’d be glad to be,” was all she said calmly as she leisurely leaned her chin against her propped up hand. “It’s because it involves you that I’m willing to at least try. If I can’t conquer a fear as small as going to the market,” she said as her vigilant dark orbs (which twinkled with a subtle light) danced over to rest on Katashi and Satoshi before moving to the windows where shafts of light continued to stream through, “I shouldn’t be here where I am. There are worse things that we’ll surely have to face in the future.” Further accustoming to the human world was the least of where her true worry stemmed from. Compared to the plights that were certainly there, lingering, waiting for the perfect moment to seal their fate like a predator’s gaping jaws, it was nothing. She could only hope that whatever was out there, whatever cataclysmic calamity was expecting them, it would approach them far later or even never, as fruitless as her hope was even in her own thoughts.
And above all else, compared to her ultimate fear of losing any of them, it was nothing. There had always been the fear that one day, she would watch them leave with the door shutting behind them, and that would be the last image she saw of them. She had long forgotten what they had looked like anymore as what was left of them was now all bit a mixture of color, but the perturbation of seeing them vanish for the last time was vigorously animated in her memory, implanted there like a seed that would grow and grow until it consumed any other minuscule fear there was left to feel. She never ever wanted to experience that same feeling again, not with these individuals gathered here.
Their next mulish statements were ones that she’d more of less been expecting. What are you, our mother? We aren’t stupid, of course we’ll be back before dark. It was a common retort to say the least, or one that she could have anticipated, specifically because she’d been in their very shoes before and had let the exact same words roll off her tongue.
We aren’t children.
Oh, yes you are, she thought gently, though she only allowed her eyebrow to raise slightly at the remark instead of retorting to it. She couldn’t seem to help it either; their words elicited a small quirk of her lips, though it was barely noticeable like the faint rustling of leaves outside. It wasn’t particularly their behavior that was drawing out this response from her, but rather something else - something a little more nostalgic, something that could possibly border the notion of melancholy, yet something much more vibrant all the same. It was difficult to determinate, yet there it was. Perhaps it was because, as she’d said before, as the generation seemed to say, been there, done that.
This Monday morning was surely a peculiar one, indeed.
“I was gonna ask everyone 'bout somethin' I saw the other day…”
It was then the ebullient voice of Sagittarius hauled her away from her reverie, and though it had been spoken earlier, for some reason, it latched on her mind now, like a fish taking the bait. Glancing over at the twins, who snickered a little as they emphasized the word お祖母さん, she ran her and through her inky hair and leaned her head against the back of the couch. She opened her mouth once to say something, debated against it, and fell silent before speaking again, choosing to say something else. When she spoke, she used her hand to form a light gesture, her voice velvety and her orbs tranquil as the mild breeze outside. “Yes, yes, it’s as you say. If the both of you are saying that," she said with an enigmatic smile, though it was tinged with something that was difficult to narrow down to one. “Maybe I really am getting old.”

Scorpio "Supporting another's success won't ever dampen yours." resilient, dramatic, wise, passionate — ❦ ❦ ❦ —
Gently nudging Natsumi using his elbow, he glanced over at the maiden (they were practically the same height, he realized again with a start) and indicated the exit of the kitchen with a small jut of his chin. “It'd be best if we left him alone for the time being,” he said, his voice a little more soft than its usual lively and vociferous tone, though his brown eyes still had the same warm glow to them. “Come on, let’s go.”
“I was gonna ask everyone ‘bout somethin’ I saw the other day.”
He found that those were the words that continued to echo in his head like a merry-go-round, and though a part of him thought that it was probably something that wasn’t going to be too austerely grave, there was always the chance that the younger individual had spotted something worth noting. And if there was anything he’d learned from his time being here with all these Celestial beings as well as remaining alive for eighteen years, it was that the smallest details could exacerbate at a rapid pace.
If, he thought, Sagittarius had found something that was non-serious yet a device that would somehow aid the cooped up zodiacs, that was fine, too. Better, actually. He acted vivaciously, but he wasn’t dense; with all the differences the zodiacs possessed and the quirks that differentiated them, there were some who had tensions lingering around them like an impenetrable barrier. Having every opportunity to attempt at bringing the group together surely wouldn’t cost them anything.
In any case, he decided he wouldn’t think too much about the statement until Hotaru decided to explain himself on what he meant. As he bounded out of the kitchen, he spotted the twins and Haru, and he noted that the expression and air she retained was as collected as usual, if not, a little mischievous.
If those three decided to pull someone’s leg, he could only imagine just how devious and complex their plot would be. With the combination of their smarts and intelligence for tricks (with an addition of the twins’ usual demeanor), he imagined that they’d be unstoppable, though he was more than aware that Pisces wasn’t an ideal candidate for being involved in a prank as, while she could be nefarious, it was geared towards those who deliberately chose to bring harm to those around herself. When his eyes matched those of Haru's, he blew her a small whimsical kiss, to which she rolled her eyes (he swore he caught the smallest hint of an amused smile from her) and returned to converse with the twins.
“Would you like to join them?” He then asked, his voice lowered and quiet enough only so that Virgo would be bale to hear, his observant yet affectionate brown orbs inquisitive. “We could step outside for a bit until breakfast is ready or maybe even relax in the dining room.” For most individuals, the dining room wasn't an ideal setting to be within from the morning, but he had never been and still was never truly picky about where he stayed. With that in mind, he was willing to go wherever Natsumi wished to wait - that was, if she didn’t mind his company, of course.
