[There's a knock, more like impatiently pounding, on Kano's door. When he opens it, this guy is standing there and he's... disgruntled. He's not quite imposing; around Kano's height with pastel green hair and he's kind of blushing, but with anger.]
[ Oh boy, people only knock like that when the person inside is in trouble. Kano's real tempted to slip out of the window or hide in the bathroom for a bit, but he steels his resolve eventually and throws open the door. ]
Hello~ Hi!! Sorry for the wait! Are you here for Ellie? I can go hunt her down for you!
[ Oh boy, all of two people should know he's Tsubomi and this guy isn't either of them, so Kano feigns innocence, stepping back when the guy steps closer, hands up in his defense. ]
Tsubomi? No, no, you probably got redirected to the wrong floor. See the name plates by the door? [ bless Imelda for remotely and unintentionally having his back ] This room is shared by Ellie Williams and Shuuya Kano, see?
[ He hears that implication about somebody else being stupid, but Minako isn't and Alisaie definitely isn't, so...
Kano will do what he does best and continue playing dumb, trying to figure out who the heck this guy is and what he/Tsubomi/whoever the hell did to him that's making him so irate. ]
Tsubomi... Tsubomi... Ahh, did you perhaps meet her at the amusement park? Do you work there? Haha, she told me all about the amusement park trip, it was so funny!
[ That's not something he wants to admit so easily, so he hums a bit under his breath, hands in his pockets and leaning his back against the door frame as he thinks and then blurts out- ]
[Shit. Toki has no idea he's, you know, not an actual fucking jellyfish. Somehow this turned on him. He's blushing furiously, and slams his palm against the door-frame near Kano's head.]
Just. Stop whatever the fuck with Tsubomi. [He sneers and narrows his eyes.] And no more fae spirits in my tank, you little shit!
[ Oh my god. Kano doesn't even try to hide the surprise and delight on his face, because that's the appropriate action to have in this circumstances. ]
Haha, wow, it's you! It's nice to meet you! A handsome jellyfish~ I'd meant it, you know!!
[Tsuyukusa's not going to kill him here, but he might later. Should the need arise. For now, he's heading back downstairs before Toki or Yuya gets back.]
[ Kano's death has been long overdue, and he's pushing his luck even now, trotting down the hall after Tsuyukasa, looking as if it's Christmas for somebody who celebrates Christmas. ]
I'm glad to see you're alright, you know? I'd come back that time to check up on you two, you know??
[Tsuyukusa doesn't believe that for a second, but he stops to listen because technically, Kano hadn't done anything to Toki at the amusement park. He'd actually made him happy and he'd had a good time. Tsuyukusa, of course, got to hear all about it, several times. But what Kano did do, was create somebody who didn't exist, that Toki likes and wants to see more and can't find. It's a problem. He'll forget about Tsubomi after a while, and Tsuyukusa wants to make sure 'she' doesn't just show up again one day.]
Was that your idea of an apology for the Kokkuri-san shit?
[ It wasn't really an apology, and he never intended to apologize-- knowing that he probably should, and out of all the people who was involved, Toki would be the person to apologize to. But Kano and apologies... they don't come out sincerely, they're prone to mess up and ruin things, and he just can't manage to make sorries sound sincere enough to be accepted, so he rarely tries. ]
I think breaking my arm made up for some of that too, though??
[ Not at all; Kano absolutely hates taking about himself and his faults to other people, but he's a chatterbox who likes keeping other people talking and Tsuyukasa isn't an exception. Stay here and talk, versus going downstairs to Toki's room and talking... Kano doesn't seem inclined to go back to his room. ]
Yeah, I want to know more about you! How cool, I've never talked to a jellyfish before! I can come by sometime? I'll bring- aah, what do jellyfish eat? Water? I'll bring over a nice cold bottle of water and we can chat more~
[ He doesn't want to chat, but he's doing it anyways, Kano muses to himself with a smile on his face as he follows behind Tsuyukasa-- for the time being, anyways. ]
Not a real jellyfish? So what are you? Does Toki know?
[ Kid seems freaked about everything? But maybe he's okay with fake jellyfish floating around in a tank in the middle of the room watching over him every second of every day. Kano would hate that. ]
[Tsuyukusa doesn't answer until they get to the second floor. He's not sure if answering this kid is a good idea at all, but he figures Kano won't stop until he does and maybe he'll go away once his curiosity is satisfied.]
I'm a spirit from the Outlands; nature spirit. Toki doesn't know and I couldn't really ditch the jellyfish form for a while when she left me with him. Obviously I can now- But you've met him; you know what's he's like. Fuck, no way I'm telling him shit.
[He had planned to just leave once he had control again. Instead, he'd stayed in Toki's tank for five months after that already, and has no intention of leaving; he's somehow gotten attached and it's infuriating how much he actually likes that idiot.]
[ Telling Kano things is always a bad idea, especially things that 1) were meant to be a secret, and 2) are things Kano has no business knowing. Essentially, Tsuyukasa's handing him blackmail on a silver platter. ]
Nature spirit, huh~ So he doesn't know... It'd be real bad if I accidentally let something slip, wouldn't it? Aah, I hope I don't get careless around him~
[Fuck. He needs to leave the tank more and observe human behavior; he just walked right into that.]
He won't believe you.
[It's less confident than he wanted to sound. Though he doesn't consider Kano a real threat on that end. As they approach room 203, Tsuyukusa pulls out Toki's room key from his pocket. He snorts to himself, because Toki still has no idea where the key went.]
[ But he's not dying right now, which is great, because if Tsuyukasa was there for the whole Kokkuri-san thing, he'd know to punch Kano here and now to get him to cut it out. But fighting in the middle of the hall, and him being a stranger wailing on a poor student? Not a good look~ ]
He won't believe me, right~ It's such an unimaginable thing, after all~ The jellyfish he loves so much, being somebody like this~
[ This is great. Kano can be a real shit when he's fearless, and he's feeling pretty fearless at the moment. Take this for barging into his room with threats. ]
[He can't really start a fight in the hallway, even if there's only a couple people on this floor. And though he may threaten to do things, he's not actually that vicious. Tsuyukusa's never killed anyone, or even maimed anyone. He stares Kano down, or tries to.]

You're Tsubomi.
[It's a statement. He knows Kano's Tsubomi. He steps closer, in case he needs to... do something to this kid.]
I suggest... [It's not a suggestion.] you stop fucking with him.

Tsubomi? No, no, you probably got redirected to the wrong floor. See the name plates by the door? [ bless Imelda for remotely and unintentionally having his back ] This room is shared by Ellie Williams and Shuuya Kano, see?

Your aura's the same and you wore the same hoodie when you "dropped by"; I'm not stupid. Don't fuck around.
[He's being nice here. It won't do for other people on this floor to hear him yelling at this kid.]

I met her in Toki's room. Admit you're her, and you'll leave him alone, and I'll fuck off. For now.

[But that's what he's doing now, isn't it? Eugh. He's picking up habits from Toki. Kill him now.]
I don't eat. I'm not a real jellyfish. It was a convenient vessel. Shit happened.
[Kano can follow him back if he wants, but Tsuyukusa isn't going to linger in the hallways anymore. He heads for the stairs.]

The transformation is seamless, a step and a skip and Tsubomi twirls around in by Tsuyukasa's side. ]
I wonder~ If he'd believe me, though? There's lots I want to talk to him about! And I wanted to come by and say hi to his jellyfish too~
no subject
[Decision made. Kano's dying the next time he tries anything. He glares intensely, but he's also blushing again.]
