[Kaguya]

Ken'ichi tutted at what Nobuo said and flicked his nose playfully “Only animals growl” he said once more his voice showing he was playing with his young superior like they once had done. “If you are wanting a frown or annoyed look, stay around these two long enough and you'll get plenty” he chuckled picking up Arata gently making sure not to wake the sleeping boy.

Ken'ichi looked at him and chuckled “Human life is far worse... where we are civilized in this tribe, to those lower than us...” he stopped and shook his head, really not wanting to get into this subject, he had seen humans do terrible things to their own kind and even worse things to those who were different from them.

Ken'ichi looked to both of the children then to Nobuo, he could see that their was a lot on his mind, and his gut feeling told him it was going to end bad for all involved, though he remained silent and continued walking behind Nobuo as was customary. “I doubt either of us wish to make your father look weaker than he already does” he commented, he had heard some of the elder's since his returned and though he didn't agree with his place within the tribe, he hated the double standard politics even more.

“They can't go to bed, they are to meet the heir's when we get back” he stated bluntly, moving his arm out to take the other from Nobuo, he could only imagine what it would look like if Nobuo walked into the temple holding one of the 'shadowed' as the other elders had so named the twins.
