Kyou gave a small nod and a sympathetic smile. "Sorry to hear that..." he wasn't sure what else to say, it wasn't like he didn't have both his parents (though he hadn't seen them for awhile now what with the clans and the 'struggling to make a buck' thing. A nugget of something some kid once told him crept into his mind. "But, um, I guess that's one thing the clans are good for, it's like a big family." A big weird dysfunctional family, but it was better than nothing at all.

Greg blinked. 'Play it smooth, play it smooth' he told himself. "Yeah, I guess you're right." he said with a pretty believable smile. "Guessing you've got quite a few people in your clan like that?" he asked Kyou, trying to move the topic away from himself.

Kyou nodded. "A few, but there are some in every clan, right?" He blinked. "Um, not to be rude or anything... but what clan are you in?" He held up his hands in defense. "N-not that I want a territory duel or anything! It's just... um... I'm curious is all..."

Greg paused for a second. Okay, this wasn't too bad, just make something up... Now, what was the name of one of the clans again? "Um, it's fine, I'm in Kora-" Wait that didn't sound right. "I mean Tora!" he laughed uneasily. 'Yeah, real smooth Bennson...'

Kyou's expression went from nervous to joyful in less than a second. "That's great, so am I!" He pulled out his bracelet and tapped it for emphasis. "Do you stay some place other than the HQ though? I haven't really seen you around, not even at meetings, though I don't pay much attention at those..."

The hand in Greg's pocket clenched a little tighter, but Kyou didn't seem to notice so he was still in the clear he supposed. "Yeah, me and my brother got a place of our own, and I don't really pay attention to meetings tell you the truth." he figured those were decent excuses.
In the back of his mind he wondered if he should be taking the opportunity to get some secrets from Tora to bring back with him. Kyou seemed gullible enough, but didn't think he could do it. It wouldn't feel right to him.

Kyou kept smiling. "I'm glad I met another Tora here and not a Kuma, who knows what they woulda done." He gave a small laugh. "Um, d'ya wanna walk around a little or something, just standing here's kinda... boring." And he already looked like a spaz with his rocking and whatnot.

Greg grinned slightly and scratched his cheek. "Right..." he muttered. He really hoped he wouldn't get caught, he didn't know what would happen if that happened. "Uh, sure, walking doesn't sound too bad right now." he smiled.

Kyou stopped his rocking. "Awesome," The photographer grabbed Greg's free arm and gave a louder laugh. "let's go then!" And with that Kyou took off, dragging the other Tora along with him. "Who knows, maybe there are some ghosts lurking about!" Scary? Totally. Fun? You bet!

Greg's eyes widen a little as he was being dragged along by the Tora. He laughed a short second later and walked along with him. "Sure, as long as a wimp like you can take something like that." he grinned, obviously joking.

"You're a tough guy, you'll protect me." Kyou laughed out, before glancing around. "So where looks more haunted, creepy temple, creepy cave, or creepy grove of rustley trees?" All parts of the spookiness of any ideal graveyard. Oh, and statues, don't forget the statues. The ones with eyes that always followed you.

"Hmmm," he said in thought. "They all sound equally creepy, let's try the cave." he grinned. "But be warned, I'm not the toughest guy out there, if a ghost comes out get ready to run." he told Kyou with a laugh.

Kyou flashed him a thumbs up. "No problem. If there IS a ghost, I'll only have to run faster than you anyway." The Tora gestured for his new friend to take the lead. "That being said, you go first. I'll need the head start."

Greg grinned. "Alright, if you insist." he said. He took the lead and entered the cave first. He'd only been inside it maybe once or twice, so he knew it only slightly. "Watch your step." he told Kyou before walking a little further in.

Kyou followed rather tentatively. He wasn't quite scared yet, but he hadn't done anything like this since he was a kid and with East. At least there was still some sunlight, if it was midnight it'd be way creepier. "Have ya been in here before?" Elder male asked, picking his way carefully behind Greg.
