Hello everyone~!!!! It has been a while.

February is so close! We have a meeting in the Wardroom tonight. After Haruhi has slept! Make sure no one tells Haruhi about it!

[Wait, he was joking. She knows he was joking right?

Why was her words so opposite from her face's reaction. She was blushing even more than earlier. This spawns a pink blush on the host club king's face.]

Don't tell me you're really starting to fall in love with me...?

[oceanicbutterfly]

[AAAAH SHE MADE IT WORSE. Tamaki will now be treated to the rare sight of Karen flailing wildly.]

What? No! It isn't that at all! It's the opposite of that! --Wait, no, that would mean I hated you and I don't hate you, I just...

[princelycharm]

[Almost instantly, Karen will see the blonde run to the nearest dark corner of the room, with a gloomy cloud around him.]

...so.. you hate me....

[oceanicbutterfly]

[Holy crap that was fast.

Karen follows him over.]

I don't hate you at all!

1/2

[princelycharm]

[Again, almost instantly, a mood change that the rest of the club was so used to already. He now looked happily at Karen like a puppy.]

Really~!?

2/2

[princelycharm]

Then.. What is it that you feel?

[Of course he wanted to know. After all, if they were to be a family, he needed to know his daughter's thoughts - how ever much she wants to expose herself to at that moment.]

[oceanicbutterfly]

Ah, well... [How does she feel? She hasn't really thought about it.]

I suppose the best word would be respect. You're a good man, and you do your best for your crew. Club. Family. All three, I suppose.

[princelycharm]

[There was a smile that emerged from the blonde's face. This smile was more genuine than any smile shown thus far.]

They are my family and mean the world to me.

[There was a pause before he spoke once more. This was something he had to tell Karen. It was something he has been thinking for a while now.]

I know it must feel awkward, that you're in a crew of established friends already. We have our history, which I can't deny, but that doesn't mean you aren't welcome. You've been with Kyouya, Kaoru and myself for a long while, and though I haven't spoken much to you due to health issues coming one after another, I would really like to get to know you more.

If you have any problems, or just want someone to talk to..[There's another friendly smile.] I'll be here for you!

[oceanicbutterfly]

Thank you.

[There's a pause. It may not be obvious that Karen's going to speak again.]

I have to admit, it was easier when I first arrived, when everyone else was in the same situation.

[princelycharm]

I think it is easier when you have more people to help you, wouldn't it?
