[Kyo is used to transforming. He's the Cat of the zodiac and all, so he has two forms back home. The regular housecat and....well, his True Form. The reason he's both more calm over being called a monster and the reason he bristles at it, given that situation back home and all.

That is not to say that he isn't finding this frustrating all the same. Namely in regards to clothing with this being a more gradual transformation rather than just instant where he suddenly usually no longer fits into whatever he had been wearing with the zodiac curse back home.....]

....Dammit! This damned tail! So what, I'm just expected to rip holes into all my pants now? Not being the only one is debatable in this if that's comforting or more irritating in pissing me off.

[His life. He's finally free of the curse here and he is still. Turning into a cat anyway. Because of course he is. And then he winces, hissing briefly in pain when he nicks his lower lip with his fangs.]

Seriously though, there's probably some kind of tailor or something around, right? For....for people that are changing like this? Ah, right. And uh, introductions, I guess. Or whatever. I'm Kyo. Kyo Sohma.

[For those that he might not yet have run into or talked to. Introductions were only polite and all, so he should probably. Add his name in there somewhere at least, for this first time. Not that Tohru is around to remind him about that sort of thing but. Well, over time, she is rubbing off on him some, at least.]

I don't know either but we're kind of stuck here and have to deal with how things work here.

[And that Nessie chick seems pretty adamant on it too.]

Still doesn't mean I have to like it. I don't want to be forced into some....bond.

[Let alone his questioning of who would be insane enough to want to bond with him? Which had been his response when Shigure had asked him what he would do if someone wanted to be his friend. If someone wanted to....possibly be more, even.]

It can't be that bad. Don't think of it like you're being forced. If someone wants to bond with you and you want to bond with them it's probably better for both parties anyway.

[Bond with people you like, Kyo. You can do it.]

Implying anyone would want to bond with me.

[Though. It was different here. Nobody here knows about the Curse to know they were supposed to reject him as the outcast. Kyo just can't quite yet seem to get over his issues there himself though.]

Hey now. Not with that attitude.

[Cheer up, kid.]

If you need a friend, I'm here.

I meant it. When I told Shigure if someone liked me, I'd ask if they were crazy. I mean I'm -- I'm not good with being around people.

[He is improving about it. Not letting his temper explode as often, or as violently as he used to. But it is still a work in progress with his social skills.

That and Kyo doesn't see for himself how people tended to flock to him because of his personality, regardless of his awkward social skills.]

You seem fine to me.

[Kyo seems like a good guy. Maybe a little rough around the edges at first glance but it's not anything Zack isn't used to. Here's a guy who used to consider Sephiroth a friend.]

You're in this brand new world with hundreds of new people to meet. I'm sure you'll have a gaggle of people to call friends in no time.

A....gaggle? What, like geese?

[...Look this isn't so strange. Given how his family, the zodiac, could attract their respective animals to them. Yuki with rats, Kyo with the cats, and Shigure with the dogs and all.]

[Zack snorts.]

It's just an expression, kid.

Oh...course. Right.

[He still....thinks Jason is a bear. So there's probably a lot Kyo isn't aware of in regards to pop culture as well, let alone expressions and sayings.]

[It's cute.]

All I'm saying is you'll be fine, Kyo. Don't sweat the small stuff.

You're just saying that cause you have no idea. But....thanks.

[That probably brings him to what, three people that believe in him now? Kazuma, Tohru and Zack.]

[FRIENDSHIP.]

... ? What makes you think you can't make new friends, then?

I'm the -- never mind. Nobody here would get it. Even Shigure was just saying it was about practice. I'm just....not the best with people.

[Which one might question, given how his classmates back home who have no idea about the Curse flock to him and easily tease him and all. Kyo just isn't all that close in confiding to them and all, but he's managing to be friendly enough.

When the girls don't freak him out by getting too close and making him leap from the window to run back home.]

I can't say I know you well enough to agree or not but you haven't done anything that would put you in my bad books. So that's a start.

[There's really nothing bad about this kid so far. In his opinion, anyway.]

If you want to make a better name for yourself and make some real friends in this world or not is going to be up to you.

It...well, yeah. I know that it's up to me. I just usually seem to mess up somehow.

[Even with Tohru. Though he was getting better about snapping at her. And was still dealing with the guilt.]

Ahh... there's no real way to tell how to do things right or not. Just be a good dude. Treat people how you wanna be treated and all that.

[Does he need to write a brochure on friendship for the kid?]

You say that like it is easy not to end up introducing someone to my fist sometimes.

[Considering he pissed off the fae right from the start with the initial test drive.....

Kyo is probably lucky that somehow he has been getting better with his temper. That and he hasn't gotten into any major fights here thus far. Yet.]

[He laughs...??]

Do the people you introduce to your fist deserve it or something?

Yuki does. And yeah, when punching Haru is the only way to deal with him when he goes Black.

[And.....well. Kyo is so used to the family and Haru being.....Haru that he doesn't think on how strange that might sound to anyone else.]
