Just roaming or a little lost?

[Yonutsune]

"Oh, is that all? I don't mind at all. I've lived with people who smoke so it doesn't bother me." Yonutsune said, eyeing Jun yet again. She didn't want to be the reason he was feeling uncomfortable, and the smell barely annoyed her at all. "It's not that bad anyway, is it?"

[Jun Seido]

"Not really," Jun answered. He felt more relief upon learning that Mei didn't mind people who smoke; he was a bit worried to turn people away with this bad habit of his, especially when he had no plans of quitting.

"Well, I can't smoke anymore right now, I just threw it away. Besides, I don't really like people see me at it," he explained. "It was just a sudden longing, but really, I don't smoke in front of people; not if I can't help it, at least."

It was true, he hated smoking in the presence of others. It was a personal bad habit, if there was ever one, and he only does it when he feels isolated from te rest of the world. But he didn't mind if they knew about it, not at all.

[Yonutsune]

"So it's a sort of personal thing?" Yonutsune asked more to herself. But she didn't want to make Jun even more uncomfortable than he seemed, so she quickly changed the subject. "So...do you like..." Yonutsune was going to continue before she felt a little dizzy and had to balance herself on a nearby wall and holding her head, as if that would make it stop pounding. She finally regained composure and stood straight, then acted as if nothing happened and asked, "What kind of music do you like?"

(That was completely random...)

[Jun Seido]

Jun heard thought he heard Mei mumble to herself and was about to ask her when she beat him with another question.

So...do you like..."

"Like what?" he asked turning his gray eyes towards her. But she had paused and sought balance from the wall with her hand on her head.

"A-are you alright?" Jun asked in a slightly worried tone. And as if not hearing him, she stood straight and resumed conversation like there had been no interruption. This confused Jun a bit. What just happened?

Shrugging the thought off his mind he answered her question. "Well, I like Jrock at the moment. I really don't have a particular liking, it just depends on the song or singer, I guess. How about you?" he asked back, and couldn't help but add, "Are you sure you're okay? You looked a bit dizzy back there.."

[Yonutsune]

Yonutsune decided to ignore his question momentarily and answered, "Basically j-rock and j-pop. It just depends on my mood. And...yeah...I'm fine." She answered simply and kind of slowly, not feeling like explaining. She glanced at him, seeing the slightly confused expression on his face and added, "Don't worry about it." It was tiring enough to have to deal with it, but to have to explain it was even more annoying, so she decided to change the subject. "What kinds of other stuff do you like?"

[Jun Seido]

Jun assumed Mei didn't want to go over the topic anymore when she continued asking him about random things. He didn't mind anyway, it was alright with him if topics continued to change incessantly.

"Well, I like writing a lot, perhaps that's why I went to Kurenai," he answered in an attitude like nothing weird happened. "I like tigers, and I'm keeping one right now," he added, remembering his pet inside his dorm room.

"Do you have any pets? Or particular likings in the animal kingdom perhaps?" Jun asked.

[Yonutsune]

"I have a mouse and a cat. I don't know if pets are allowed though, so usually I keep my cat in my room during weekdays. But I bring my mouse with me most of the time." She replied, though still thinking about the fact that Jun owns a tiger. "Is it safe to own a tiger?" She suddenly asked. "Isn't that kind of dangerous?"

[Jun Seido]

"Well, it isn't as safe as owning a cat or a dog, or in your case and Kayoko's.. a rat, but Hikou is pretty much a safe cub as of now. I'm careful with him, though, and I do encourage his laziness so he wouldn't accidentally hurt people, or me," Jun explained. He liked the cub very much and had grown fond of him loitering in his room, and it might've added to the confidence he has in keeping a tiger, and lessened his thoughts on the dangers of it.

"Besides, I'm sending him home when he gets too big for my room or too expensive to take care of. If my mother doesn't approve of keeping my tiger for me, I guess I'll just have to live with having a predator in my room for the rest of my time here in Tama," he said.

[Yonutsune]

"Hmmm..." She thought for a moment. "At least you won't be bored too often." She said bluntly. "Does Tama even allow animals? Or do people just sneak them in?" Yonutsune asked curiously. 'I don' think I actually read that when I was scanning the rule book.' She thought and let an annoyed expression cross her face as she thought of how careless she could be. "I know others have pets, but I'm not actually sure if they're allowed. Do you know?" She added.

[Jun Seido]

"To be honest, I have no idea," Jun admitted. "When I first got my tiger,and that was a month ago, I think, I had him in a cage and nobody complained that I was bringing a dangerous animal in school. It was a reckless decision to bring him in here, but I never really noticed any opposition to that. And I don't remember reading about pets in the rule book. The school itself owns animals around here, like in the stables, but whether there's a difference between bringing animals inside the dormitories or keeping them outside, I don't know."

Jun paused to think for a while, wondering whether animals are definitely allowed inside the school. A few others have pets, and besides, he never got any letter of reprimand or anything; and to think he wasn't even trying to hide the fact that he owns a tiger cub.

"An opinion may not satisfy you as an answer, but based from my own experience, I don't think you're forbidden to keep any kind of pet while in school," Jun said finally.
