[ His smile is bright, just a good-natured joke. He claps his hands together but does not try to muscle his way in -- that would be rude. It would be better to ask permission in that rather than just assume that it would be all right. ]
I just wanted to make sure that you were in your rover. [ A beat and soft laugh. ] Though, I suppose I could have just asked rather than go through such an elaborate manner in seeing if that were true.
Would you believe me if I said ... seeking like-minded individuals?
[ Yuuto missed sitting with Kanoe. Oh, she had her concerns about Kamui which he would immediately dismiss, but she also did not mind his rather awful nature. He missed walking into the cold room where BEAST and Satsuki would spend their time. The three of them would watch as Tokyo fell, and he would offer his commentary with a shining smile to a young woman who did not realize what he said was rather hideous and vicious.
It took long enough but he could not ignore that he missed them, and he missed them for superficial reasons. Still, that is better than what most could hope for when dealing with him, yes?
His hands are held behind his back as he keeps himself slightly bowed and tilted to the side. It's to hide his actual height as best as he can. ]
[Besides that whole Yuuto-might-actually-be-lying thing. His instincts are always on high, and that's no different here. Except in this moment, he doesn't see any hidden agendas, necessarily. Doesn't sense that Yuuto's trying to pull one over on him, so to speak.
So, he'll humor him as best he can.
Should prove to be interesting– their conversations usually turned out that way, after all.]
[ Turning his head slightly, he tries to peer into the rover like someone may be listening in. However, there seems to only be November's pet so he returns his smile to the man before him. ]
Did you know what I've come to realize in the time we've been here? A person can get away with having a rather unfortunate sounding file so long as they are kind to everyone.
[ And he is. To everyone. Indiscriminately.
It's not tiring. It is just how he is, and he enjoys it. How he wishes that he could get along with Kamui but sometimes, he has to prick at him like he would Kanoe and Satsuki. Neither realizing what he was doing, though.
He breathes out a sigh that hangs in the air in a plume of white. ]
Still, I would like to talk to someone without worrying that person would think me a beast. You seem to be an individual who would fit such a bill, and I am also happy that you are so handsome and charming ... that just makes everything so much easier, or am I making a fool of myself, Mister November?
People only see what's placed in front of them, most of the time.
[November knows this rule intimately. It was the one thing he'd kept in mind all these years as a Contractor. All the time he's spent working with people who felt emotions normally, who reacted to death or loss with tears or anger. In that time, he's picked up tricks on how to come across as a human, to masquerade amongst them without suspect.
And if his top agent position didn't speak to his ability to pull it off, he doesn't know what would.]
Ah, well, I'm flattered. You're no fool, Mister Kigai.
[Maybe a good actor, but not a fool. Those eyes are too sharp, the words too carefully chosen.]
And please, you can just call me November, if this is where our relationship is going to lead.
Or it may be that they do not wish to believe that they are surrounded by less than honorable people. Things are stressful enough without adding that they cannot trust who they are spending their time with, right?
[ Yuuto laughs to himself as it works on two fronts. Since he had tried to kill one recruit and succeeded in murdering another. A cute fire-user who reminded him of another fire-user that he was supposed to ask for should he go into battle -- his smile softens more. ]
Ignorance is bliss. At least, that's what they say.
[He's always found that to be untrue, at least for himself. Perhaps it was ingrained from his tenure at MI6, but he'd much rather know than to be kept in the dark. After all, he can plan for something he knows.]
Yuuto, then. It's a pleasure to finally meet you like this.
[It's not really embarrassing. But then, he's a poor judge of that, since he doesn't easily fluster at all anymore. A perk of the whole Contractor thing.]
Hm, how to put it? It's showing a part of myself that is extremely negative.
[ Yuuto says with a smile. He may not be a Contractor but he feels like he would probably have been in November's world, is that a comfort? Ah, no, it's just his truth. ]

[A good natured joke indeed. Now an inside one, privately amusing the both of them and no one else.]
Asking would be the forthright way. However, I have to admit, I needed the fresh air. What brings you out here?
