Yosei was more focused on the training dummy than the woman herself, more focused on trying to fine tune his control of the blood. He still couldn't truely shape it, still couldn't utilize even a tenth, no not even a percentile of its power. He'd learned how to control his blood earlier than Enyo. So how had the boy managed to surpass him in the end? It was frustrating. And his annoyance of where he was at, playing catch up to someone he used to be ahead of, showed on the boys face as he was lost in the black void, frowning as he tried to truely manipulate it. It wasn't until the woman confirmed that yes, he was indeed breaking the rules, the he was brought back to this world and not one filled with black ink.
His eyes went wide only for a second, his return to earth sudden, before the frown broke and was replaced by that same smile as before, a trademark of his clan just as much as their skin. Ahh. Does that mean you're gonna tell on me? Let sensei know I've been bad? There was a giggle at the end, a laugh at his teachers expense as he turned to see the woman approaching now. An eyebrow raised once more, curiosity at how the situation was developing, though he didn't seem nervous at the possible outcomes of her personal involvement.
Oh? You think so? It almost sounded like a threat, his response as she told him that he wasn't ready to handle real weapons, that him playing with this knife had shown he couldn't be trusted with one. He started looking at the blade when she outstretched her hand at first, cleaning off the edge where black tar was still dripping off. As I'm sure you're aware the Kuronmeru have impeccable taste. Everything we own is of the highest quality...There's a good chance this knife is worth more than that dress you're wearing. They were rich words coming from a boy who looked more like a bandit than a ninja, a sleeveless shirt and practical but not very expensive looking pants. But it was sounding like he wasn't going to just give up the knife, not easily at least. But, he would defy expectations as he flipped the blade towards himself, and laid the handle into the woman's open hands. Do try and make sure this gets to MY house. I could actually get into trouble if it's lost. He once again said it with the same look, that same smile, that same smirk, even as he talked about potential trouble at home.
As for getting healed up at the nurse well... He let out a small laugh again, not even finished talking yet finding the situation funny. Why would I go get healed where the lesser bloods do, hmmm? And there it was. Contempt. Open contempt for anyone that wasn't a Kuronmeru. Though he did at least acknowledge her capabilities. I wonder how that'd go, she'd stitch me up so well, I doubt there'd even be a scar...What's the point in that. He was still placing the knife in her hand as he said this, his sleeveless arm full bare, and all over it were scars. Scars of when he'd accessed the blood beneath him. And as he talked about his scars, the boys face got a little redder, a slight blush returning once more. Though Yosei pull his hand away when blackness dripped from his arm, potentially staining the woman's skin black with ink if she wasn't quick enough. Though honestly even among our clan some people can be...Drama Queens...About scars. They find them as unsightly like the other lesser bloods. The boy let out another giggle when he referenced the woman's own words when talking about his clan, still smiling as he clarified that his approach to scars wasn't quite the norm, how Enyo had hated them so much that he'd threatened to stitch them again so they'd heal better. The boy simply shrugged. To each their own, I guess. And as he talked about the differing opinions on the clan, different approaches to things, his red eyes seemed to shine. Most Kuronmeru had dark eye colors, a few had lighter tones. But Yosei had red eyes. He was used to being a bit different.
