During hosting...

[After a few moments of panic, there was his usual authoritative tone.] it would be best if you remain a boy. I know you can protect yourself, but I would rather make sure that you are safe in my own way.

[haruhi_fujioka]

[So that's what he's worried about? Her cheeks flush and she turns away.]

But how will you protect Karen if she decides to be a Hostess?

[princelycharm]

[He just blinks at the cuteness and smiles tenderly as he saw Haruhi's cute antics. But he still kept a serious tone.]

Yes, that is something I need to discuss with both Kyouya and Karen. Initially before Hikaru arrived, Kaoru was thinking of incorporating Karen as part of a brotherly love theme. That time I was okay with it, because that meant Kaoru will be there for Karen always. However, now that Hikaru has returned it means that Karen will be on her own.

[He then walks closer to the ships rails and looks at the inky blue waters.] I don't want to make Karen feel like she is a stranger. Because she is not. She is part of the family now. But I have to consider the dangers as well. There's still more ways than one, to help the host club activities after all.

[haruhi_fujioka]

[She has a hard time imagining Kaoru doing the brotherly love bit with anyone but Hikaru. Then again she hasn't spoken with Karen enough to know how close she is, personality wise, to Hikaru. She seems far less evil than the twins at any rate.]

It's nice of you to think about her safety...and mine. I'll protect her whenever I can. I know I'm not a karate master, but I wouldn't let anyone force themselves on her.

[That is just...wrong. Anyone who does that deserves to be slapped.]

[princelycharm]

Well like I said...if it can be avoided, we will try to do so. After all, that scenario will endanger you more. And I don't want anything bad to happen to you, Haruhi!

[haruhi_fujioka]

...thank you. [It means a lot to her that he cares.] I'll be careful, but I want to pull my own weight. I don't need any special attention.

[princelycharm]

I know...

...so please do your best as our Natural Rookie!
