Welcome to Gaia! ::

xxxxxxxxxxOutou was in the kitchen when Zane asked Axel to be his best man, her small hands busy with washing dishes and cutlery. Sosay's shout did nothing to make her jump - having become almost completely used to such loud outbursts over the past few years. But it still made her tense. Outou's pink eyes left the dishes, a tea towel in her grasp as she dried her hands while leaving the kitchen for the main room once more. "Such noise." She spoke, curious. "May I ask why the sudden rise in volume?" Outou inquired, not knowing what had just gone underway. She looked to Zane and Axel, both close together, as if talking of something gravelly serious, before turning her gaze to Sosay, who held nothing but an ecstatic glee on her face while the Kuranma woman was waiting for an answer.

Axel stood there dunfounded...his brow twitched slightly in utter annoyance as he kept a blank stare at his brother. "You're kidding...you got me worked up for that!?" Axel said when Outou came into the room. "Granted I'm happy for you guys, and the fact that I have a new sister, but next time...just tell me. Here I thought we were going to destroy the Leaf Village or something," Axel sighed as he looked back at Outou. "I guess I should say welcome to the family," Axel smiled as he placed his hands in behind his head. "Man...having you as a sister sure is going to be something," he added.

xxxxxxxxxxOutou blinked, her mind processing what Axel had said about fighting the Akatsuki and accepting her as his new sister. "Zane." She spoke, her normal voice slightly curious and obviously a bit edged, showing that she had caught on to what Zane might have done to make Axel so hyped up. "Why, exactly, has Axel linked fighting the entirety of the Akatsuki to us being married?" Outou asked, hiding her amusement. Sometimes her history of being mentally insane worked for her advantage.

xxxxxxxxxxOutou tilted her head to the side. "Over dramatic, you say. So much so that bringing down the entirety of the Leaf Village came to his mind. Just what did you say to get him so 'worked up' as he claimed you did?" Pink eyes showed a slight mischevious glint, lips pressed thin: a sign that she could either be very angry, or quite amused.

xxxxxxxxxxOutou smiled - only the small, slender curve of the corner of lips, barely visible at all. But she was smiling. "What did you ask him, Zane?" She asked softly, pink eyes warm and her small, slender frame relaxed as she stood next to Estellise. Normally, Outou would be stressed with only just so few people around her, but at that moment, she was still quite calm and at ease.
