A laugh bubbled from Kyou's throat. "Sleeping's not a bad hobby." He teased, goodness knew it was one of the best things to do with one's time. Kyou loved sleeping, it was what he had loved about summer vacation when he was in high school. So much time to SLEEP.
The remark about Hi's lack of time set off alarm bells in his head though. Wasn't Hi dating Fred? Seishy had remarked about matchmaking them like a pro once, so he hoped that they had time to spend together. The worry caused a question to pop from his lips sooner (and possibly with less tact) than intended (really, a near-stranger shouldn't know so much about a lady's relationships). "Do you and Fred have enough time together then?" He asked nearly before he realized what he was saying.
Nearly instantly he clamped his mouth shut. "Oh... Oh man I'm sorry." He fretted. "I- I didn't mean to- that came out wrong... That must have sounded so creepy." He mumbled, face reddening a bit.

Hi was in silence, and then she started giggling, which turned into laughing the to hysterical laughing. By the time she was done, tears were in her eyes and she was still giggling, "Sorry, your face looked so cute!" She smiled, "Yes, we have time for each other, I bet Seishy has told you all about us." Then she waved her hand dismissively, "Don't worry about it Kyou, but I'll tell you one thing..."
She leaned in secretively, "Seishy did not set us up, no matter how much claims that he did." She paused, "Come to think of it, I was the one who got drunk and had to spent the night at Fred's house... the a..." She blushed with embarrassment, "First time we met, I kind started the whole thing from there." She smiled.
"But... to answer you question before, I often go visit him at work and he comes to my apartment during the week, so no need to be worried! Although it's very sweet of you!" She smiled, he was so adorable! She wanted to squeal, like when she saw a cute puppy. He was so cute!! She took a deep breath, and smiled.

Kyou's awkwardness was eased by Hi's laughter. Laughing was better than yelling or glaring, no matter what. Not that he would know from too many experiences, the only person he usually pissed off was Eva... and her husband (he had only met him once, glaring all around), and the Tora who ran the shooting range... But that guy had looked like he wasn't willing to take shit from anyone.
His smile returned to his face. "That's great, I'm glad you two have enough time together." He really was. He knew Seishy cared a lot about Hi. She was important to Seishy, and that made her important to Kyou as well. "I'm starting to wonder if everyone who knows Seishy meets their dates at the Allure at first..." It was where he had first met Seishy, and Hi had met Fred apparently...

Hi thought about it, "It's possible, although I usually didn't drink much, until your boyfriend came about. We hadn't seen each for about a month and he dropped by to take me drinking. Which... was the first time I met Fred. So, I'd say that Allure attracts couples, it's very alluring." She laughed halfheartedly at her own stupid joke.
She smiled at her companion, "Also, I'd say that everyone at Allure knows Seishy, in some way or another, he doesn't exactly blend in." She giggled, "But you know, the boys sparkles, and I love him for it." That was completely true, she loved Seishy like a brother and cared for him like his second mother. She couldn't imagine what she would do if she ever lost him. Losing her parents was enough, she couldn't... no... she wouldn't lose him. She would see to that.
Since her parents died, she had become paranoid to Seishy's safety. Whenever he got beat up, or got hurt, she would imagine him dying and never coming back. It was a problem she had with Fred too, although not nearly as much, since he was actually careful. And expression of sadness and concern crossed over her face. She shook her head and smiled at Kyou, "Sorry, I was spacing out." She kept on smiling and buried those thought, no point in bring them up anyway.

"In more ways than one..." Kyou found himself murmuring after Hi spoke of Seishy sparkling. It was more than just his love of glitter, it was the other Tora's entire personality. He had such confidence and a love of life that just couldn't be tainted that Kyou often thought 'sparkling' was the more appropriate term. He was funny and sweet, a cheesy romantic (which amused Kyou to no end, despite how many blushes it would bring to his face) and melodramatic and flamboyant... The body glitter might have penetrated Seishy's soul for all Kyou knew, but he did know that he loved Seishy like that and wouldn't want him any other way.
God forbid he grew up and learned how to cook, Kyou wouldn't be able to treat him to actual homemade foodstuffs anymore.
He blinked out of his own musings with a smile as Hi apologized. "It's fine, I think I was doing the same thing." He rubbed the back of his head and gave an apologetic smile to Hi. There was no need for her to apologize when they had probably been thinking along the same topic but along different tangents.

Hi smiled, "So, we were both thinking of Seishy, huh?" She leaned back against the bench, "The boy is very popular, it seems." She sighed, but smiled. He made her life exciting and complicated. She shook her head, "On a different topic, how you and Seishy?" She smiled, "Since you asked me, I figured I return the favor. Seishy didn't have time to give me details when he mentioned you." She was a very curious person. Curiosity killed the cat.

((OOC: There was a missing word and I wasn't sure what you were asking so bear with me here... I'll redo it if I'm answering the wrong question. ^^"))
Kyou blinked and blushed. "Well, we... we just sorta met at the Allure a while ago and started talking..." He had really been timid back then, and if he remembered properly he had gotten his ribs cracked on that particular occasion. "Nothing really romantic came of that though," Except for the seeds of infatuation being planted in Kyou's head and heart. "It was only recently I got up the courage to tell him..." His blush grew bit brighter at the memory of the kiss. It was right around here, actually, that it had happened.
He changed topics jut a bit. "We, uh, haven't gotten to see each other as much as I'd like, though..." He admitted. His job kept him pretty busy, as did clan duties that were mandatory for those members living at the base. Ayumu too, kept him busy. He liked hanging out with his sister, and then there was Jupiter to take care of... "But I'm happy when I do get to see him."
It piled up, he realized. He might not be a doctor like Hi, but average life piled up quite a hefty workload for average Joes like himself.

((OOC: Sorry! And your fine, that's exactly what I was asking ha ha))
Hi nodded, "I see, well I hope you two get to spend some time together." She smiled, her work and life and everything piled up on her sometimes too. There would be points (a lot of them) where she and Fred would be sitting on the couch and she would fall over from exhaustion. She wasn't saying that her life was the hardest, by no means. She knew that everyone had hardships and she was not the worse case.
Hi smiled at Kyou, "Well, if you ever need anything, money, medical, advice, anything, you let me know. I would be happy to help you out Kyou." Hi's personality was much like a mother bear, she took care of everyone and protects them with all she has. She's willing to do just about anything for a person in need. That's just how she was.

Kyou smiled. "Thanks," He replied, honestly grateful. Medical assistance wasn't really something he could afford right now, if he or Ayumu needed it then at least now there'd be someone to call. "Same goes for you, okay?" He paused, then amended. "Except... the, uh, medical, thing..." He mumbled, blushing lightly. "Not exactly good at that." Even after getting beat up a few times he wasn't any good at fixing himself up. Let alone anyone else. "I can cook a mean omelet though, so there's that." He joked, trying to even up the offer.

Hi laughed, "I'll defiantly will call you the next time I have a hang over." She smiled, "Or when I'm holed up at the hospital, which happens, I'll call you if I need some food." She thought it over, "That seems like a fair deal... Just go to the front desk of the hospital if you need me." She smiled, although it wasn't a good thing to see a familiar face in a hospital, it was defiantly a nice change.

Kyou stuck his hand out for a handshake and laughed. "It's a deal!" He cheered happily. He just hoped it wasn't an empty offer, because knowing him he'd wind up injured somehow in the near future. He had had too much good luck for something to NOT wander across his path and punch him in the face...

Hi smiled, taking his outstretched hand, "Agreed!" She smiled, giving his hand a good shake before letting go. Food was one thing (along with sleep) that she sometimes (most of the time) didn't get enough of. If she always had a back up plan, that was fantastic. There were several times where she was stuck at the hospital without food, and her favorite restaurant doesn't deliver in that area.
She placed her hands on her knees, leaning on them, "So... a change in subject, now that we have that settled.... hmm..." She placed a finger on her chin, thinking, "Do you have an family?" Although she used to not be comfortable with the topic of family, since technically, she had none, she was much more comfortable with it now. Even if she felt angry at someone (She would have to be really pissed) she would never, ever, wish that fate on to someone else.

Kyou smiled fondly at the question. "Yeah, I've got the best twin sister in the world." He said, a touch of pride to his voice. Ayumu had been looking out for him since they were little. She had enough talent to move away from the city for college and maybe even a future career in the arts, but the motherly twin Takeda had decided to stay put in the city with her brother.
Honestly, that made him feel guilty every time he though about it, and the smile flickered on his face for a moment. She really was talented, her oil paintings were fantastic but no one aside from him (as well as Eva by accident and Ayumu's boyfriend Kaito by luck and circumstance) had ever seen them. His slightly elder sister was just a little too nervous to show her work to anyone, even if it was really good. College could have helped with that, Kyou was distinctly aware of that fact. College would have taught Ayumu all the tricks of the trade in an artistic environment that would have helped her gain confidence...
But instead of taking a full ride scholarship like Kyou knew his sister could have gotten, she had stayed behind in a warring city with her nearly-high-school-dropout little brother because he couldn't properly function without her around. And in the tiniest, darkest part of Kyou's mind he hated himself for it.

Hi saw the tiny flicker in the smile, the look of guilt on his face. Hi asked quietly, "Would you like to talk about it?" Hi smiled a little, "Believe or not, I am a good listener. Plus, I can't help but notice, although your good at hiding your emotions." She smiled, as a psychiatrist and therapist, Hi had the qualifications to listen to this sort of thing, although she hasn't had a client yet.
"We made a deal didn't we?" She asked quietly, "Talking like this counts too. I am a psychiatrist too, so feel free to talk to me." She paused, "You don't have to if you don't want to, but trust me on this," she smiled, "You'll feel much better."

Kyou jumped a bit as Hi began talking, rather surprised at what she had managed to deduce... His smile faded a bit as he mulled over her offer. Ayumu had assured him that she didn't mind staying in the city for him (even quoting her twin brother's own words of 'nobody gets left behind' to drive the point home), but that reassurance alone didn't seem to be helping as much as it used to... Maybe it was Eva so bluntly pointing it all out to him that had caused his shaken faith in his sister's loyalty to him, but whatever it was it had indeed caused damage.
"I... I probably should talk about it..." He said quietly. More admitting it to himself than to anyone else. "I guess... Is there anywhere you want me to start?"
