[In Mu, the stomach wants for nothing. The only thing Ren may hear as she moves closer is the slow and steeling breath Ichimatsu draws in. With five brothers, he's never been fussed about personal space with them, but for others it's different -- and though Ren is far from a stranger, she's a girl. Soft and cute girls don't touch gross guys like him. It's against the laws of the universe. He shouldn't be trusted with something like that, either.]
[But maybe this is different. Before he can think himself into a corner, Ichimatsu extends one arm out with an uneven smile, gesturing her to lean in against his side. If she doesn't want to, he won't get mad. She already allowed him to hold her hand once; he hopes she doesn't think he's being a weirdo.]
[Either way, he talks on.]
It's not that I'm special. Cats are easy to understand. They won't hurt you or reject you, and they don't expect more out of you than you're capable of. That's why they're the only ones you can really trust.
ESP Kitty used to be the best at understanding peoples' feelings, though.
