Ryuu too had taken several moments to investigate Kai's attire - it was very different from what he was used to, especially the prints. But once the other spoke he rose his eyes to meet the other's and nodded.
"Mn, let's go" he agreed, exiting the room and closing the door behind him. From that point on, he followed Kaito to the garden, his loose hair lightly bouncing against his shoulders
Kaito tried his best not to pay attention to Ryuu’s hair. Kai was like a cat, he had the urge to just claw the living essence out of Ryuu’s hair had he been given the chance to.
Upon arriving at the garden’s gate, Kai was, again, the one to open it. Inside was an empty space with small creatures like birds and insects and moderate creatures like dogs and cats roaming around. There were two benches across from each other. Instinctively, Kaito picked the left one, leaving the right one for Ryuu. Once Kai was sat down, a cat jumped onto his lap and gave a soft purr. The man smirked at this and began petting the feline.
Ryuu had no knowledge of the other man's thoughts regarding his hair as he walked beside him - to him it was only normal to wear his hair long, that's what his time's fashion style had been.
Once in the garden, he gracefully sat on the remaining empty bench, smiling a little at the sight of the little feline nesting in Kaito's lap. With one swift motion, he gathered most of his hair and dragged it on his left shoulder, so it may finish drying in peace.
"What is it that you wanted to talk about?" he broke the silence, gazing at the other with calm but serious eyes
Kaito stopped petting the feline creature and met Ryuusei’s eyes.
”First thing’s first, I’m genuinely curious about your thoughts on the cursed demons situation. Do you have anyone in mind who might’ve been guilty of the situation?” he asked, letting go of the cat on his lap and allowing it to walk from his bench to Ryuu’s, jumping on his lap and laying there.
The boy gently patted the cat on its head a few times before allowing it to rest on his lap - he'd almost forgotten how nice it felt to have a warm cat snoozing on him.
"As of now, i do not wish to place more suspicion on certain people, but rather on everyone. The ninth judge would logically seem the most suspect, given his behavior, but he could very well be innocent - even so, i don't think i could trust him even if he was proven innocent."
Violent or short tempered people were almost always bad news, and Ryuusei happened to have a lot of unpleasant history with these types, so he would not be trusting the ninth judge anytime soon.
"There's too many people that are unaccounted for and we barely know a small number, but none so well we could be sure they would not do such a thing. So far, i wouldn't trust anyone, not even the more friendlier judges; i feel bad for saying it, but no precaution is too great"
The Seventh judge smiled widely as she guided Koki outside.
The backyard of the court was quite large, almost as large as the court itself.
”Here, please have a look around first” the judge stated.
The backyard had a white marble pavilion, several small batches of flowers of many different kinds, a small waterfall, and some other decorations.
Koki followed the judge, almost bouncing with the energy she had. "This is so cool! It's awesome, spectacular, fabulous, amazing!!" She cheered, bounding around to look at everything before coming to a stop and looking abck at the judge sheepishly. "Sorry."
(ah, henloo qvq this looks kinda dead. Also, @AltrinceTheAsianBean did u get around translating the song i sent? qvq The one on page 11, the one u said it was in ur language. It's okay if u didnt have time, just shoot me the name of it and i can look it up online myself qvq)
