H-Has anyone seen Jean-san ?

I went to the shelter, but the animals were ... g-gone, and I couldn't find him either.

It's a bloddline limit. My whole family has eyes like these.

[As it happens, it's a good two miles before they actually get to the house she mentioned. There are a row of japanese-style houses, wooden, with shouji and low roofs.

Hinata points at the one on the right.]

This one's empty. It has a courtyard inside, and we're in the area with running water. No electricity, though.

[Jotaro walks along, hands in pockets, not really minding the distance except to look around, watchful despite knowing he can't compete with Hinata in that regard. Seeing the Japanese houses, though, his attention turns to them entirely.]

... huh.

[He's not been in Japan in years. It's an interesting sort of flashback.]

Water's more important, anyway... you sure no one lives here? [They're in a surprisingly good start for Adstringendum, after all. He walks up to try the door - sure enough, not locked.]

[Hinata nods, and follows him inside.]

They suddenly appeared maybe a year ago, I think ? I-I wasn't there then.

W_Will it be alright ?

It's nice. [Jotaro always sounds a little surprised when something turns out to be nice. He peeks in, then opens the door fully and lets the sun into the house. There are the expected dust and neglect, but they're minor as the city goes.]

I could stay around here... [he murmurs mostly to himself.] Won't surprise me if some animals live in here already.

A few birds and mice, it seems.

[Hinata then blinks, and releases her Byakugan, the protruding veins disappearing.]

M-Maybe I can help you set it up ?

[By now Jotaro has taken a peek in most of the rooms, and opens one of the sliding doors to look into the inner courtyard. He lingers for a moment with his back to Hinata, lost in private thoughts, and sounds a bit distracted when he speaks.]

Mm. Sure. If you like animals.

I d-do !

[She hasn't moved too far into the house herself, apparently picking up on his mood and not willing to intrude.]

[After a minute, he seems to shake it off, or at least to realize he shouldn't ignore her. He glances back.]

Be good to have you then.

[His words are simple and flatly said, but Jotaro has a way of saying a little and meaning a lot.]

When do we start, then ?

Anytime. Today. Don't know what other commitments you have.
