Jou had taken notice of the blond's...unimpressed look. A year ago, Jou would've most likely shied away and apologized before trying his best to leave the seen before things got worse....but that was the old him.
Instead, Jou found himself grinning a bit now as a way to try and lighten the mood...maybe looking a bit dorky in the process, but he was trying his best. Plus, it wasn't everyday he met another wrestling fan...despite this village being home to a literal wrestling clan. But unfortunately...it appears Jou was wrong, or at least that's what he thought for a second.
The blond seemed pretty clear on not being a wrestling fan...in a sassy way which caused Jou's grin to slowly fade as he rubbed the back of his head...but there was no hiding that accent from him, even if it only barely came out. Jou wasn't quick to assume that just anyone with blonde hair is an Okada, but that accent he has heard plenty of.
"Huh...my apologies...Didn't know there were Okada who didn't like wrestling." Jou claimed in a vaguely teasing tone, chuckling lightly to himself as he got to the point with not questions asked. He didn't really mean any harm by it and just wanted to poke a little fun, but a part of him was still amazed that such an Okada exists.
"I'm a big fan and the style of your hair reminded me of this long retired legend....but what was his name...?" Jou casually folded his arms behind the back of his head again as he pondered...but as he did, Jou looked down at the blond's hair once more...and his eyes wandered a little....to see if he could somehow figure that former wrestler's name of course.
It was then his eyes settled once more on the blond's other hand, just now noticing it's metallic in nature! To someone as observant as Jou, it was a little surprising he missed that...but he was probably focusing a little too much on wrestling.
"Wait, you're..." As Jou said this, he immediately sat down on the side where the metal arm was, fortunately moving careful enough to not cause an accident with the grill, but it was still a little sudden. He got a closer look at the arm before continuing.
"Tetsuken...That's you, yeah?" Jou said with a hint of curiosity in his tone.
"I've heard about you...and how you recovered from something that would've been...life ending to most. That's so cool... Jou added. He then took his eyes off of the arm and presumably towards the blond's face, assuming it still wasn't blocked by the book or anything. It was then he got a full look, just now realizing the Okada's rather captivating features, causing the Himishi to pause a bit.
"Guess it would make sense that someone that tough is from the Okada....but I never pictured them to be this cute." Jou added, probably oversharing a little. He wasn't trying to hit on the blond...or at least mostly wasn't...He was just caught off guard.
"Err my name's Jou...Himishi Jou." He added with another friendly little grin.
