"Oh." Zhen is displeased with this, but she doesn't argue the point any further. "If Grandfather said so.."
"Oooh!" Harmony perks up. "Grandpa invited you to stay here with us?"

"Will find somewhere else." Rou says again, picking up on Zhen's displeasure quite easily. He'll just shove them in a closet somewhere, or in a corner of the living room, hidden behind one of the couches. It wasn't like he had anything terribly secret or private.
"Yes." He answers with a nod. "Rou stays outside most of the time..." So it was no wonder the three might not have noticed him yet.

"He makes you stay OUTSIDE?!"
The chorus of coos and "OH, you POOR THING"s is DEAFENING.

That is not what Rou meant ! gonk
"No ! Rou stays outside because like outside more than inside." It was hard to explain his dislike of houses in proper words - mental speech was so, so, so easier !

"But what about bathing?" Zhen asks.
"Or when it rains?" Adds Harmony.
"Or when you gotta take a dump?"
"ARC!"

What kind of questions are these..... o_o
"Bath inside." ...Of course, though the gaian concept of a bath kind of freaked him out at first. "Don't mind rain."
He just doesn't grace the third question with an answer, it seems >_>

All three girls exchange glances. If they'd only just now seen him, and he claims to be taking baths inside...
Well.
The seem to lean in all at the same time, sniffing the air around him a bit experimentally.
"How often did you say you bathed...?" Zhen asks, wrinkling her nose. This does not bode well. This does not bode well at all.

Well, Zhen supposed, she COULD insist he march to the bathroom and wash up. And Arc could pick him up, forcibly strip him, and throw him in the tub, and Harmony could ask if he'd-- pretty please-- let her wash his hair.
Buuuuut, once he leaves that room, he could quite possibly make a break for it.
And he's just too CUTE to let go THAT easily.
So, for now, she relents.

That seems to be the end of it, and Rou's temper seems to calm just as quickly as he had flared.
...Why is he in here, anyway ? sweatdrop

"If Grandpa brought you in," Arc begins, "Does that make you our brother?"
"Or Uncle?" Harmony adds.
"No no no, he's too young to be an uncle!"
And, Harmony has to admit, she DOES like the idea of a little brother... But then that would mean the seeds of delicate love can't ever be planted! As if she honestly believes she'd have a snowball's chance in hell in the FIRST place, but he is just so PRETTY and Harmony could just LOOK at him for ever and ever and ever!
This is a conundrum.
"Since he lives outside," Arc muses, "Maybe he can be our pet."
"ARC!" the other girls scold in unison.

Zhen smacks Arc in the arm. "Don't say such stupid things!" She turns her attention to Rou. "No, sweetie, of COURSE she wasn't serious."
It would seem they're capable of understanding Rou's mindspeech after all.

...Then why are they having him speak out loud to begin with ? He's really not good at is, as they have likely noticed. It is rather embarassing. sweatdrop

"But you have such a pretty voice!" Harmony argues, running the brush through Rou's long hair. "And practice makes perfect!"
