Hoss was growing.
Now, this would normally be heralded as a wonderful occasion in any family. Except, of course, when you were Rusty, and that meant going out into the world for shopping. He managed to pick out some bigger things for the babe, then set out to find him food.
So the boy sat at the food court at a mall, watching in amusement as Hoss tore into some sort of soft bread and sauce thing. There was no food for Rusty. He didn't eat out.
Hoss was pleased. He had better fitting clothes, and this food was quite tasty. Much better than the broiled and bland things that Rusty insisted on cooking. Happy Hoss was... Surprisingly good tempered.

"What size cola, sorry sir??" The poor girl at the cashier was clearly in training, and not used to the take out store's most faithful regulars; the Jiijin siblings. A haugty Amanae, grumbling about that last excersize being useless, and a raving and thirst-crazed Akira.
Akira was out alone today, and he hadn't had a sweet bubbling soft drink in almost two hours. TWO WHOLE HOURS. "Super. Up size." He repeated slower, gesturing at one of the more familiar workers.
Turning around impatiently and leaning against the counter, Akira's individuality senses perked. Purple! Some kid was wearing purple! At least it looked like he was wearing it...maybe it was facepaint...? He couldn't tell from where he was.

Hoss continued to nom happily, then suddenly stopped and looked at Rusty. His eyes narrowed. Rusty looked worried.
"Ehn." Hoss picked up part of his pizza thing on one hook and held it towards Rusty. HIs servant was abnormally scrawny, and obviously needed to eat. When Rusty didn't try to take the piece from him, Hoss started to color. "EHN!"
"Okay!" Rusty yelped, leaning forward to take the bit. He looked at it for a moment, as if he didn't quite know what to do with it. Hoss rolled his eyes.
"Ehn." He, very slowly, demonstrated that you ate such a thing. Rusty, seeing no other option, ate it. It would undoubtably make him sick later, but it made Hoss happy for now. Hoss leaned over and gave him a little whack to the wrist, then pointed a hook back towards the food place. You ordered food there, and drinks! He pointed at his sippy cup, then at Rusty's empty half of the table, and hit him again.
"...Drink?" Rusty ventured. He pointed at himself, then at Hoss's cup. He was rewarded with a pat and a smile. Yes, Rusty! You needed a drink. Rusty sighed, scooping the baby up and heading back up.
Hoss hummed, pleased. He was learning to communicate with his servant, no matter the language barrier.

Akira didn't bother to avert his gaze as the two came closer. In fact, he went on gaping right as they walked up beside him.
The kid was ******** purple. He really was. Akira didn't wonder if it was some sort of paint staining, or if it was a skin condition or anything like that. All his brain could say, over and over, was; 'that kid. is ********. purple.'

"Umm.. Hi. Can I get a large wa-"
"EHN." Hoss growled. He knew what water was, and knew that wasn't what he wanted Rusty to have. The boy turned even more red.
"Uh... A bottle of the orange juithe, then?" He paid for the bottle, and Hoss apparently deemed that to be a better choice. The baby looked around and spotted Akira. He blinked for a moment, then apparently realized he was being stared at. "EHN!" He growled, brandishing a hook.
Rusty stopped his morose staring at his orange juice to look at what Hoss was 'Ehn'-ing about now. He gave the boy a little smile. "Hello."

Akira stumbled back slightly, away from the hook being swung in his direction. Biting his tongue so as not to swear in front of the baby-sized monster-thing. "fffgt," Was the only noise that he managed to make.
Of course any more civil person would have turned away and silently imploded from the shock. But Akira had to make a scene.

Rusty sighed, wrapping two fingers around the hook. "Thorry." He said softly, earning a growl from his small charge. "He'th got anger issues."
Hoss turned his body slightly, whacking Rusty against the face. Shut up and drink your juice, servant! He could handle this!
