Kin's gaze was pulled away from the cat, who'd run away. Yet again. He turned to Kari and bowed his head for a moment before looking up "I apologize for the scene." He raised an eyebrow at Axel, who was flirting with the outsider, and merely shook his head before turning into the kitchen, surprised to find Dante already half-way done with dinner.
"Ah hello Kin, just making dinner. Are you hungry?" He asked cheerfully.
"Erm..." Kin was always rude, but Dante was a different case. He'd been the one who took care of him after the punishing blows from Kousuke "Yeah. After that event, yeah." Kin was much more open to the old man, and asked "Do you need help?"
"Oh no!" Dante said chopping up carrots at an incredible speed "I'm fine."
"Hn. Reya's gonna like that." Kin said notioning toward the small carrot cake on the counter.
"Well, that's who it's for." Dante said pouring the carrots into a pot filled with a rich brown stew "You should be nicer to that bunny though. She's only trying to be nice."
"Trying." Kin replied. He took a clean look around the kitchen, to make sure there wasn't any-
"Don't worry, this stew is all vegetarian, for you and Katsura." Dante said "But you're going to have to get used to seeing people eat beef."
Kin rolled his eyes, and gagged. It was like...eating himself!
"Yeah I know." He said eyeing the red meat he'd caught sight of next to the sink "But it's not like you see people eating dog, or cat everyday."
"That's because they're domesticated as pets." Dante said, his glasses hung on the edge of his nose, the oval shaped lenses barely bigger then a baby's fingers "Oxen are domesticated for-"
"Yeah, I don't want to know." Kin replied quickly.
"Well why don't you tell Ms. Rue that it's going to be dinner time soon?" Dante asked.
"Why me?" Kin asked scornfully "I'm not her slave." He promptly left the kitchen before Dante could scold him. Dante was always a kindly old man, always treated everyone kindly. Which was probably why he'd made the carrot cake for Reya. Even Rue liked him...from what Kin had heard anyway.
He returned to the dining room to be greeted by nearly the same scene as before, and sighed, leaning in the doorway to the kitchen. He didn't want to talk to Dante, and he didn't want to talk to anybody else either....but he really was hungry, and he wanted to eat soon. Of course, he only ever ate what his father, himself, and what Dante cooked. He did really dislike sweets, but he didn't mind eating them when someone he knew cooked it. His excuse not to eat Reya's cake was that he disliked eating sweets in front of anyone but Dante. Otherwise, he only ate stew in front of others. He couldn't stand how cute most cakes looked, and how weird it looked to him when he ate them.
But, maybe that was just because he didn't like doing things with people in general. Dante was like his grandpa anyway, so to be quite frank, Kin didn't care what he did around him.
"Is anybody hungry?" Dante asked everyone in the dining room, stepping over Kin, who was blocking the way "Dinner's almost ready." He caught sight of the outsider and said "You can start your chores tomorrow, I'll do the chores today. Get used to being around these crazy people for tonight."
"Who're you callin' crazy?" Kin asked, folding his arms.
OOC: You know, Dante might as well be the rooster. If he can be the rooster, then he's not going to be a major character of mine, he's just a sort of side character who doesn't get his own color font, because I'm mixing him in. By the way, Dante's about 64.
