Hotaru sighed. "Yeah, there's a couple ways to get out of it, but they're all really hard to do if you don't have the right connections." she told him. "That's one of the many downsides of this place unfortunately."

"Connections?" The question had passed his lips before Theo could stop it. Though it was actually for the best. He had no experience with snooping to find out on his own. Asking would help. Just... just calm down... That's all he had to do, just calm down.

Hotaru nodded. "You know, with the government or someone really rich or whatever." she thought about Eva and her family. "I got a friend who's family's filthy rich, bought her out of the clans for a while." Until they kicked her out if she remembered right.

Theo blinked and nodded. "Oh... that makes sense." Though it didn't help his situation much. He had no connections. He doubted he could make any either. But it was just the Tora's first real day, he couldn't have everything planned out right now.

The redhead sighed and looked over at Theo. "Are you alright?" she asked. "Sorry the place isn't really great and all, but I'll be here for any questions ya got." she smiled. She knew Hatsu Itonami was probably a huge change from where ever he had moved from, and she wanted to try to make him feel at home if possible.

He gave Hotaru a smile. "Thanks... and I'm fine, just adjusting I think."
Meanwhile, Karter was busy instructing the boy to just breathe, attempting to place some sort of calm in his mind about how his father was NOT going to find him. Paying with cash was neigh untraceable, and his father was too old to join the clans even if he did follow. Everything was alright now. No need to panic.

Hotaru smiled a little more. "You'll get use to it." she assured him. "... Is there something else bothering you?" she asked him a moment later. He seemed a little too worried for someone his age to just be concerned about a different place.

Theo shook his head. "Nothing, I'm fine." He responded almost a little too quickly and kicked himself for it. If she had picked up on that and noted how little time he had spent in the city, it would probably lead her to the half-correct conclusion of him being on the run. She wouldn't know from what, he hoped, but she might be able to figure it out.

Hotaru paused for a moment. She had a feeling he was lying, but she wasn't going to force it out of him, that just wouldn't be right. "Alright, if you say so." she said. "You just looked kinda down, wanted to make sure I wasn't freaking you out about the town or anything." she scratched her cheek and laughed slightly.

A small smile made it's way onto Theo's face, the younger Tora thanked whatever deity was out there that Hotaru seemed to not want to push the topic. She was nice like that, he just hoped everyone else was like that as well. Unrealistic, maybe, but he could hope. "You're not, don't worry." He assured her.

Hotaru smiled again. If he didn't want to talk it was perfectly fine with her, she knew what it was like. "Alright, that's good." she laughed lightly as she continued walking. She didn't like awkward silences however, so she still kept trying to get him talking. "So what do you do for fun? Anything in particular?"

Theo wished, not for the first time, that he was better at holding up conversations. Awkward silences weren't exactly fun, and they grated on his nerves. The question made him think, though, after all, up until recently he hadn't had too much spare time that could be spent alone, he was either working or passed out or something, but there were a few instances that he could remember just sitting down with paper and a pencil and just... "I like to draw, but I was working too much to get all that good at it." He decided to say. The black haired Tora really did need some practice. "What about you, Hotaru?"

Hotaru's eyes lit up when he mentioned drawing. "I wanna see some of your drawings sometime then." she said. Man, she wished she could draw so bad! It looked like fun. "And as for me, I dance..." she laughed slightly. "Kinda a lame talent but it's really the only one I got."

Theo blinked. "They're not very good..." He mumbled, almost too quiet to hear. The proportions were always off, and the people wound up looking cartoony. He didn't much like it himself... His eyes widened a little at Hotaru's own hobby. "Really? That's not lame at all. Takes a lot of balance and practice and... I dunno, grace?" He wasn't sure how graceful Hotaru was, but she hadn't tripped on the way here or anything, so she couldn't be a klutz.

Hotaru shrugged. "I guess, but it's not like you hear about famous dancers everywhere like musicians and artists and all." Not that she was looking for recognition, people just tend to be more interested in that sort of stuff was all. Sure, Matsuda had trained her into being singing material too, but that was just her little secret. For some reason she didn't like too many people knowing about that, she didn't know why, she just didn't.
