[ Eric tries to only pay attention to what he's doing. He probably didn't have to spend so long on the dishes but he wanted to make sure they were extra clean to make up for his mishap.
He grabs the pots after much more carefully and sets to work on them as well, making sure to get every last bit of food off of them. Finished at last he drained the water as he placed the last pot to dry, sighing in relief that nothing else had happened.
He turned around and waited for Kusanagi to look a bit more free so as not to disturb him before speaking up quietly ]
He holds up a hand, gesturing Eric to wait as he puts the mop and bucket away, satisfied with the cleaning. When he returns, he wordlessly gestures Eric to follow him back out to the front.]
Ya can join me on a small errand. [Small enough that Izumo can handle himself, but he's not going to tell him that.]
[ He waits and follows as Kusanagi says. He tilts his head a bit, not used to the invitation, normally if at all, someone else would go with him for errands. But maybe this was the making up for the pot so he nodded. ]
[Waits for him to come out, and then proceeds to lock the door. Placing the keys in his pocket, Izumo takes out a cigarette and his lighter, the familiar taste of tobacco easily filling him up.
He breathes out, nodding to Eric to follow as he starts walking.] Did Fujishima show ya around the city yet?
[ He knows where a few things are, certain buildings and restaurants, mostly just from visual cues. He wouldn't be able to give directions to any of those places if anyone asked. ]
So ya haven't gone ta the main part o' the city yet. [Understandable. It's usually crowded, and being surrounded by so many people might overwhelm Eric.]
Well, we gotta go ta a store there. Just stick close t'me if ya feel overwhelmed. [He starts to make his way now, keeping his pace slow enough for Eric to follow.
He hums.] Mm, can always count on him ta help ya adjust.
Mm... [ He does get close to him, if he lost him in this crowd it wouldn't be so great. At least they're both pretty tall so he's able to keep a good eye on him ]
A'least he's the most approachable out o' all the other guys.
[Him and Kamamoto, at least. Izumo takes a turn around a corner and sees the crowd of people already gathering, the streets bustling like it always did. He doesn't turn back to look at the younger, but he's aware of his presence.] D'ya feel comfortable around the others yet?
[ That's...a lot of people. Just focus on Kusanagi and only him, and he'll be okay. He's gone through crowds by himself although nothing this intense. He'll be fine he'll be fine. As for the question he just shrugs before he realizes the other probably didn't see it. ]
[Izumo easily sifts through the crowd, glancing back at him to make sure he didn't get caught up in it. If it seems like Eric is starting to feel uncomfortable, he'll take him to s somewhat more secluded area.
And he raises an eyebrow.] That's not really answering my question.
Barks too loudly. He has a bigger bone then his mouth to chew on.
[ Eric tries his best to keep up, having a difficult time trying to walk beside Kusanagi from other people shoving and pushing, so he goes directly behind him. A small growl escaped his throat after being lightly shoved once again. ]
They're fine...I guess. Some still don't like me, not that I care what they think. [ Dewa. ] But, I don't mind them much, maybe.
[ That's about all he can muster to form an opinion on them. ]
There are always ways ta mess with him. [Izumo would know. He's practically seen Yata grown up under their care.
He hears the growl, stopping until Eric's beside him and starts walking again. He gives a look to the people that keeps shoving in them, a polite smile on his face as he excuses themselves through the crowd.]
'Maybe'? [He chuckles before glancing over at him, somewhat curious.] What about the rest o'us? Mikoto, Totsuka, Anna, and myself? [Curious because he knows the initial opinion the other members have on them.]
He steps up beside Kusanagi when he lets him. If it had gone on for much longer he would've either snapped or bolted, or both. And who knows where he would have ended up at. But now he was a pit on edge, jumping at the question. He looks at the ground thinking for a moment. ]
Mikoto-san is scary but nice. Totsuka-san is weird. Anna is...quiet. And Kusanagi-san is... [ He tilts his head ] weird but also nice.
[A good thing Izumo stopped then. He didn't want Eric to go run off after snapping. He stops at the crosswalk, dropping his cigarette and stepping on it to put out the dying ember.
But at his answer, he blinks a bit, surprised, but then he chuckles.] Is that what ya really think o'us?
[ He watches Kusanagi step on the cigarette, making sure to stay close. There were a lot of people everywhere but he tried his best to ignore them as long as they weren't brushing up or touching him, he could ignore them.
He just shrugs at the question, looking away. It's amazing he even got that much opinion out, he's not really going to expand or explain. ]
[ He stares in boredom over at the light that signified whether to go or not. When it finally moved he made sure to stay Kusanagi's side as the swarms of people began to move along with them.
He perks up at hearing English. Looking at Kusanagi for a quick moment before looking way, he shouldn't eavesdrop. But it was nice to hear English, good English especially, every now and then. ]
[ Eric tries his best to stay with Kusanagi. Even going so far to grab onto his jacket at one point when someone tried to go in between. His hand is off as soon as it came off however, as he put it back in his pockets. He probably shouldn't of done that. ]
Alright.
[ Not like he has a life that has been disrupted by this. He doesn't care. Kusanagi leads, he follows ]
[If he felt that grab, he doesn't say anything nor does he seem to mind. He's walked with Anna before in the city when they had to do errands, and she would often hold onto him not to get lost.
In a way, that almost feels the same.
He's taking a turn out of the crowd, though, and into a secluded alley. He doesn't tell Eric what they're doing or what they're about to do. But—] D'ya have a phone on ya?
[ Eric was a little bit more then relieved to know that they were gong into an alley. He didn't realize he was that tense from the crowds until he relaxed. Upon the question, Eric shuffles out his phone from his pocket and shows it to Kusanagi. ]

He simply gives a nod, waiting for the light to turn so they could (somewhat) safely cross.
His PDA soon rings, prompting him to answer. He greets the person in English, his other hand tucked away into his pocket as he continues to speak.]
